You can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML. As I have answered in HTML-and-regex questions here so many times before, the use of regex will not allow you to consume HTML. Regular expressions are a tool that is insufficiently sophisticated to understand the constructs employed by HTML. HTML is not a regular language and hence cannot be parsed by regular expressions. Regex queries are not equipped to break down HTML into its meaningful parts. so many times but it is not getting to me. Even enhanced irregular regular expressions as used by Perl are not up to the task of parsing HTML. You will never make me crack. HTML is a language of sufficient complexity that it cannot be parsed by regular expressions. Even Jon Skeet cannot parse HTML using regular expressions. Every time you attempt to parse HTML with regular expressions, the unholy child weeps the blood of virgins, and Russian hackers pwn your webapp. Parsing HTML with regex summons tainted souls into the realm of the living. HTML and regex go together like love, marriage, and ritual infanticide. The <center> cannot hold it is too late. The force of regex and HTML together in the same conceptual space will destroy your mind like so much watery putty. If you parse HTML with regex you are giving in to Them and their blasphemous ways which doom us all to inhuman toil for the One whose Name cannot be expressed in the Basic Multilingual Plane, he comes. HTML-plus-regexp will liquify the n​erves of the sentient whilst you observe, your psyche withering in the onslaught of horror. Rege̿̔̉x-based HTML parsers are the cancer that is killing StackOverflow it is too late it is too late we cannot be saved the transgression of a chi͡ld ensures regex will consume all living tissue (except for HTML which it cannot, as previously prophesied) dear lord help us how can anyone survive this scourge using regex to parse HTML has doomed humanity to an eternity of dread torture and security holes using regex as a tool to process HTML establishes a breach between this world and the dread realm of c͒ͪo͛ͫrrupt entities (like SGML entities, but more corrupt) a mere glimpse of the world of reg​ex parsers for HTML will ins​tantly transport a programmer's consciousness into a world of ceaseless screaming, he comes, the pestilent slithy regex-infection wil​l devour your HT​ML parser, application and existence for all time like Visual Basic only worse he comes he comes do not fi​ght he com̡e̶s, ̕h̵i​s un̨ho͞ly radiańcé destro҉ying all enli̍̈́̂̈́ghtenment, HTML tags lea͠ki̧n͘g fr̶ǫm ̡yo​͟ur eye͢s̸ ̛l̕ik͏e liq​uid pain, the song of re̸gular exp​ression parsing will exti​nguish the voices of mor​tal man from the sp​here I can see it can you see ̲͚̖͔̙î̩́t̲͎̩̱͔́̋̀ it is beautiful t​he final snuffing of the lie​s of Man ALL IS LOŚ͖̩͇̗̪̏̈́T ALL I​S LOST the pon̷y he comes he c̶̮omes he comes the ich​or permeates all MY FACE MY FACE ᵒh god no NO NOO̼O​O NΘ stop the an​*̶͑̾̾​̅ͫ͏̙̤g͇̫͛͆̾ͫ̑͆l͖͉̗̩̳̟̍ͫͥͨe̠̅s ͎a̧͈͖r̽̾̈́͒͑e n​ot rè̑ͧ̌aͨl̘̝̙̃ͤ͂̾̆ ZA̡͊͠͝LGΌ ISͮ̂҉̯͈͕̹̘̱ TO͇̹̺ͅƝ̴ȳ̳ TH̘Ë͖́̉ ͠P̯͍̭O̚​N̐Y̡ H̸̡̪̯ͨ͊̽̅̾̎Ȩ̬̩̾͛ͪ̈́̀́͘ ̶̧̨̱̹̭̯ͧ̾ͬC̷̙̲̝͖ͭ̏ͥͮ͟Oͮ͏̮̪̝͍M̲̖͊̒ͪͩͬ̚̚͜Ȇ̴̟̟͙̞ͩ͌͝S̨̥̫͎̭ͯ̿̔̀ͅ

Reddit's core product was effectively completed about 12 years ago. Since then they've tried so many different things that their community doesn't give a shit about at best and abhors at worst. This most recent move is a pretty obvious attempt to kill third party clients and force adoption of their vastly inferior native app in order to drive ad revenue. Given that reddit owes literally all of its success to a revolt against digg's anti user policies, let's see how this plays out.

I can tell @mkljczk pushed some code when my living room CI server starts blasting.

it's one of those cases where every single problem is easily fixable, except there's another layer underneath that prevents that easy fix from working. That layer also has an easy fix... except there's another layer underneath that

javascript testing frameworks make me think computers were a mistake

it sucks having nuanced views on the internet

"systemd has the right goals but also has poor architecture: i like operating it but i don't like its underlying design" is so much harder to digest than "systemd good" or "systemd bad"

"sandboxing is good when done in a way that gives users the ability to control how their programs run, and doesn't have to make your computer locked down like iOS" is harder to digest than "sandboxing good' or "sandboxing bad".

"verified boot that lets users control the signing key allows users to verify that the boot sequence is what they want it to be, ensuring that their FDE isn't compromised; however, most existing implementations give vendors control that should belong to users" is harder to digest than "verified boot good" or "verified boot == DRM".

it's hard not to sound like a corporate shill, which is the opposite of what I'm trying to be whenever I start talking about security. Fossbros have given the entire FLOSS community these warped preconceived notions on what sandboxing, verified boot, and even Systemd are and aren't.

Found on a random discord channel.

Our new Contact Scopes feature is now available in the Alpha channel. It provides a way to avoid granting the Contacts permission for apps requiring it. It's similar to our Storage Scopes feature replacing needing any of the media/storage permissions.

impossible

there are two kinds of problem solving in programming, one requires just starting coding to solve it and the other requires stopping coding and thinking about it harder

And whose fault is that?

Sam Altman, the head of OpenAI went to Congress and suggested that AI be regulated and licensed. It's pretty blatantly trying to create legal obstacles to competing with his company.

I win

Urgh. Sometime back in September Twitch added a proprietary browser "integrity check" as part of the login process. It is ridiculously sensitive; the only way I can log in with Firefox is with a completely blank profile. Disabling extensions doesn't cut it, tech support doesn't care.

Things are dire enough I am reversing the obfuscated JS blob to see what part of the stupid test isn't working.

shenzen io has assembly instructions that you only find out about through an email and aren't in the documentation saying its only mentioned in the chinese docs. this game is too realistic
