I filtered by local as you suggested and saw it pretty quickly. Thanks for the suggestion, that was a very interesting thread to read.

Wait what vegan cat food debate? Cats are obligate carnivores, what insanity is this?

Followed instructions but verification failed, seems like nothing happened except dick got stuck in toaster again. Using Arch, btw.

What responsibilities do publishers do to benefit the developers these days, with Steam available for self-publishing? Looking for an honest explanation, as I read some wiki pages and don't really understand the value of publishers (same for book publishers).

This is what I do. A pi with Kodi or Jellyfin or similar plugged into HDMI is fine, it doesn't matter what OS is on the TV if you're never using anything but the one input.

Wheels are pretty cool

Factory patterns are horrible, because they mix config into program code, maximizing uncertainty when debugging

I've always hated factory patterns because I find them unintuitive, but I couldn't articulate why I find them that way or even organize the reasons why in my head. I just recognized them as a frequent source of annoying debug sessions. I envy your ability to concisely convey something like this.

regex101.com has a convenient searchable cheat sheet for all the somewhat odd but powerful functions like negative lookbehind/lookahead with a brief explanation of each, a regex pattern input with checkable boxes that helps you get down single replacements vs global replacements, a large input that lets you dump text to test against the pattern, an explanation on the right of what each symbol is trying to match, and the left side lets you switch between the different flavors to see some of the variants between languages/standards. I still have a lot to learn before I'll consider it mastered, but I have enough common stuff memorized now that it works great for me!

Oddly having several variants rather than a standard despite "regular" being in the name: everyone I work with eschews regex but after finally taking the time to learn more than just the basics of it a few years ago I find it so incredibly useful almost daily.

I thought those were skiing or biking or local terms I just didn't know since I've never being skiing or to Whistler, haha. I read EL rather than ei like thinking it was referring to a place everyone from that area would know that started with those letters. This makes much more sense now.

What is breaking, and what is El?

I don't even know why they have trials, and the jury isn't even selected from their peers. Every one of those dogs looks guilty to me.
