Thank you for the very thorough reply! This is kind of high quality stuff you love to see on Lemmy. Your use cases seem very valid.

Thanks for sharing this. I took the time to read through the documentation of the re module. Here’s my review of the functions.

Useful:

• re.finditer returns an iterator over all Match objects
• re.search returns the first Match object or None if there are no matches.
• r'' use raw strings for patters so you don’t have to worry about backslashes
• the optional flags argument modifies the behaviour (case insensitive, multiline)

Utility:

• re.sub replace each match in the string
• re.split split a string by a regular expression

The Match object:

• match.groups(0) returns the portion of text matched by the pattern
• match.groups(1) returns the first capturing group
• match.groups(2) returns the second capturing group, and so on

I don’t understand why these exist:

• re.match like search, but only matches at the beginning of the string. why not just use ‘^’ or ‘\A’ in the pattern you pass to ‘search’?
• re.fullmatch like ‘search’, but only if the full string matches. Why not just use ‘\A’ and ‘\Z’ in the pattern you pass to ‘search’?
• re.findall Returns all matches. It seems like a shitty version of ‘finditer’. The function has three different return types which depend on the pattern you pattern you pass to the function. Who wants to work with that?

That’s a long kiss 😳 N-not like I mind…

or traditional Fedora, which also has often unstable packages, dnf is often unusable

My experience with dnf is that it’s slow as molasses but your average computer user isn’t gonna install 10 new CLI apps per day /j

I’ve used Discover (dnf or flatpack backend) and you can install just about any software with 1 click. It takes a minute to install but that’s fine.

The best way to install Linux is to ask your buddy who knows Linux, they have been waiting for this question for years

Wouldn’t mixing with a wide variety of ages from 18 to 118 be better?

You will work in the NHS or the firefighters and so on, so you will certainly engage with community members of all ages and from all wakes of life. For a year of mandatory service that everybody is meant to complete, 18 is arguably the best time to do it.

slavery

When you walk on a public road past a hospital do you think to yourself “they stole my money to build this”? You have rights and duties as a citizen. Your service benefits the community as a whole.

Also why is the stick to make people do it a fine (so that the rich will just pay if their kids don’t want to do it)?

I fully agree with you on this point

“punched its deck” i love this

thank you for standing up for me <3 i appreciate it a lot!

Thanks a lot, it was a very refreshing conversation :) That’s excellent advice, and I wish you all the best also.

<333 thank you JoShmoe ;-;

WOW thank you! It’s super rare for anyone, let alone a stranger on the internet to care and ask. I appreciate you. You have some personality traits you come across very seldom and I hope you preserve them. I’ll just put it in spoiler tags because it’s long.

computers, geography, language learning, cycling come to mind. tbh i find that question really hard to answer when asked directly, maybe because i kind of don’t enjoy my life in general.

OHH it even works with text layers!!! you can finally add drop shadow to a text without discarding the text information! ;A:

Thank you! I appreciate the nuanced perspective and good wishes. <3
