or did…… Ecma International Technical Committe 39 break my code???

somehow i broke my Matcher tests between Piscēs 0.1.3 and 0.1.4 and just never noticed it??

i’m on this dude’s blog because at some point over two decades ago he was a part of a thing which was notable enough that his idea for this thing that lots of people have differing ideas about gained enough traction to get multiple implementations and a mention on a wikipedia page

Douglas Crockford, 1996-11-26

they sure did put that wealth of knowledge into building new and exciting federated social media applications and we sure are living in a utopic paradise now because of it

remember when they were like “all these former Twitter engineers are going to change ActivityPub forever”

i contemplated implementing the nintendo switch base32 alphabet in addition to the RFC one and the Crockford one because it is like Crockford but swears and doesn’t sleep (FUCK is valid but ZZZ is not)

[less jokingly i think Z~2 is a good confusable to avoid, although whether it is better or worse than U~V is anyone’s guess]

but i didn't want to try to mandate the specifics of what should be allowed and it's easy enough to just transform a Crockford by shifting V-Z up a letter that i decided not to bother

nobody cares about this but i extremely care about this as it is blocking both my XSD library and my requirements for unique identifier generation

⁺almost⁺ to a Piscēs 0.3.0 release i’m trying to make it happen this week

reader, it didn’t make any sense because it was wrong

it turns out my base64 code has been wrong this entire time and i just haven’t realized because my tests were broken

is eating strawberries a kind of sex?

love that Ao3 has a very clear and obvious reminder of anti‐lesbian sentiment on every single search page

well, fewer of them write het, but lesbianism is still in fourth place

for real though i’m just going to be reading from the #EndOTWRacism collection (<https://archiveofourown.org/collections/EndOTWRacism>) for the rest of this month

i’ll share the good ones and pretend the bad ones i haven’t read yet

guess that decides which one i’m reading

why did ICANN approve this

wait google seriously made a .zip TLD?!? lmao why
