I have just the opposite problem. They keep calling me and they never seem to remember that I already bought one from them. Still, the sales people are extremely patient when I list off all the problems with one of my vehicles and ask about every single excruciating detail about what their coverage offers. Sometimes I’ll get distracted and start talking about my fish. They are pretty fish too! One is a goldfish and the other is a beta. The beta is a silly little thing and likes to jump out of the water when it is about to get fed. She’ll even try to give you kisses if you put your nose really close to the water. The goldfish though… eesh. I think I have had him for about 5-6 years already. We tried to put him in with a beta once, but Goldie tried to kiss Nuggets and missed and swallowed her by mistake. Oops! I feel bad about Nuggets, but mistakes happen. After we put him on time out for a bit, we think he learned his lesson. Does anyone else have tips to keep bully fish tame? We have tried everything, but nothing seems to work. We’ll get it right one day. My kids think I am crazy, but that is OK. Oh, I gotta tell you about what my kids did the other day! …
I just did a quick search on Printables and there are quite a few mods and replacement part designs out in the wild. After looking at my Roomba, most of the major parts look easy to reverse engineer and reprint if needed.
Yeah. The only one you really need to care about (especially under Linux) is PCRE, the good 'ol Perl Compatible Regular Expressions. For the most part, every other flavor is a derivative of that. Microsoft had a weird version for a while, but that may be completely dead now, thankfully.
Learning the syntax of regex is fairly easy. Hell, I still have to use this cheat sheet more often now that my perl skills are no longer needed or even relevant.
Regex isn’t that hard. The challenge is identifying and understanding patterns in the data that you are filtering. Here is a brain hack: As an example, if to have pages and pages of logs that you need to filter, open up one of the log files, stare at the screen and hold the page down key for several dozen pages. Patterns can be easily seen in the blur of text that is quickly scrolling across the screen. (Our brains love to find patterns in noise, btw.) The patterns that you see will give you focus points for developing regular expressions to match. ie: You start breaking strings into chunks and seeing the ebb and flow of data streaming across a screen helps. Anomalies in the data “stream” are are easy to spot as well.
From a security and efficiency standpoint, you should also understand where the most processing takes place so you don’t kill whatever platform you are working on.
Sorry for the rambling, but I am getting older and feel the need to pass on a ton of tips and tricks whenever I can for these “archaic” languages.
It wasn’t logging into some instances automatically and some saved instances were just gone. Lemmy.ca was in a weird half logged in state after its update.
There really weren’t any major issues, TBH. When I opened Connect after the lemmy.ca update, the app got a little confused, s’all. I figured I would just drop a note here about it if someone was looking for an answer.
