it was at least a nongendered tshirt for a baby

dreamt that gwyneth paltrow showed up to gift us a tshirt for a baby to try to passive aggro us into having kids

everyone decided to build operating systems around C code and a portable shell and then they standardized that, but everyone agreed on a whole lot of other things also and they decided that wasn’t worth the bother

Posix be like, “ok but suppose someone is developing an operating system which never has to process XML” 🙄

this might be the easiest portableish way of doing this and that is a condemnation of the current state of computing on Posix

here is a shell command you can run to test whether the value of MAYBE_NCNAME is an ncname or not; returns exit status 0 if it is and 1 otherwise

printf '%s\n' '<transform xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:exsldyn="http://exslt.org/dynamic" version="1.0"><param name="thing"/><template match="/"><choose><when test="/self::node()[translate(normalize-space($thing), &quot; /([,*&quot;, &quot;&quot;)=string($thing) and exsldyn:evaluate(concat(&quot;not(self::exsldyn:&quot;, $thing, &quot;)&quot;))]">ok</when><otherwise>ng</otherwise></choose></template></transform>' | xsltproc --stringparam thing "${MAYBE_NCNAME}" --html --novalid - /dev/null 2>/dev/null | grep -F -q -x 'ok'

/self::node()[translate(normalize-space($thing), ' /([,*', '')=string($thing) and exsldyn:evaluate(concat('not(self::exsldyn:', $thing, ')'))]

i think is safe

this probably actually needs a touch of hardening (making sure $thing does not contain a '[' or '/', or else you could run into serious issues) but

XSLT 1.0 + EXSLT is a constant exercise in things you probably weren’t intended to be able to do but nevertheless can

want to know if something is a valid NCName? easy! just do

/self::node()[exsldyn:evaluate(concat('not(self::exsldyn:', $thing, ')'))]

feel like just this morning i was reading takes saying there was no way the federal government could actually start deporting citizens and now tonight i’m reading headlines saying they have indeed deported at least one citizen; those sure aged fast

best super smash bros game ?

all my friends post on social media instead of having blogs

it sure would be nice if we had a culture of having people live a few years with somebody who had paid off their mortgage and didn’t need to charge rent while they worked so they could build up their savings before moving out and buying a house wait that is just apprenticeship huh
