  6. Ah yes, the mythical "regular expressions that work everywhere"—it's like believing in #unicorns 🦄, except these unicorns only work in some apps and have #syntax #quirks that drive you to madness. Apparently, the secret to mastering #regex is also mastering #disappointment and inconsistency. 🎉

  10. Hype for the Future 62GEM: The Interesting Quirks of Maine

    Overview While the State of Maine may not have any obvious cultural similarities with the African continent, nor even share the history of brutal treatment of slaves with Africa for much of overlapping history except possibly at the very beginning, the State of Maine is, oddly enough, the closest U.S. State to Africa as a continent. Unsurprisingly, though this refers to a different portion of the State of Maine, it is also the closest state in the Contiguous United States to the continent of […]

  21. Using #GNU as Assembler (not Assembly, but the Assembler) and ld Linker to spit out a working BMP gradient image.

    Yeah, you read it right. I'm not using
    #Assembly to produce an image. I'm, instead, using Assembler directives and macros during compile-time to generate a binary file that happens to be a valid image (BMP) file.

    That's right: the tool intended for
    #Nodejs hot-reloading, is being leveraged for GNU Assembly, which is itself being leveraged for compile-time instructions to produce a whole BMP image.

    While I have a
    #Codeberg account, it's under my personal name where I published old projects from #GitHub, so I should do a second account for this pseudonym... but I'm not sure if this is against the Codeberg rules... So I'm posting the whole thing through a Calckey post instead.
