@vaporeon_ what if the inner quotation marks in a field aren’t backslash escaped? (or does Apache ensure that they are? in which case, never mind)

@vaporeon_ something like this i might consider just doing in multiple stages. or maybe just write a bespoke goddamn parser, but i’ve never really mastered grammar furmulation well enough fur that not to be a pain in the ass when i’ve tried it

@vaporeon_ much of the time you don’t have to deal with robustly matching on an irregular language

@vaporeon_ i’m fairly certain there isn’t one

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio oh huh, i would have expected them to be URL-encoded in the request. granted that really is only a suggestion fur even the characters you must encode. you can just not

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ i don’t think you would ever reasonably have to deal with that scenario but like, that would fuck everything up fur regex parsing

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ imagine a purrticularly evil user who wanted to make your life hell and decided to add quotation marks to the user agent

@vaporeon_ i think you’re onto something there; iirc nested bracketing symbols isn’t in the set of regular languages, and doing this robustly is basically an equivalent purroblem

@vaporeon_ @monorail i hate that shit i just thought it would be funny to bring up a somewhat cursed alternative

@monorail @vaporeon_ extended POSIX has [:space:]

@vaporeon_ whoa,,,

@vaporeon_ wtf what do you mean im hot

Sprigatito use little tail and switched away leaves on a stump before sitting down…

mornyawn, and also, hey @clock

@wallhackio @coriander i mixed up “book” and “season” but i’m not gonna bother to edit or redraft it

@wallhackio @coriander i think the second season is the only one that manages to feel satisfying in its overall narrative structure; books one and two struggle with balancing episode a day plots and their own narrative. but i also have a hard time imagining how exactly you could go about “fixing” that because all the fucking around in book one makes the overall story so much more rich and alive, and all the fucking around in season three gives really emotionally satisfying payoffs fur the core cast’s arcs, Zuko especially. it would be easy to make the show too “focused” and lose so much of what makes it special

@vaporeon_ competitive Scrabble would blow your fishcat mind; the sheer breadth of (admittedly usually obscure) English vocabulary is truly absurd

“abave” is an odd choice; it’s simply not in use in English at all. the Oxford English Dictionary repurrting it last known usage to be in the early 16th century, with several examples in Middle English. “To be surprised, disconcerted, discomfited, upset”; almost always used in the passive voice syntactically.

the rest are uncommon, but are words. an abaca is a plant from the Philippines. an aalii is a bush from Hawaii (the name borrowed directly from Hawaiian). abba is a term from Aramaic meaning ”father”, current senses inspired by its historical usage in Judaism (abbas is plural). abaze is an obscure variant of abash, to make embarrassed in a way that makes someone lose self confidence

@vaporeon_ Aaron is a purropurr name.

the other two are rather obscure but real English words. (the furner is a direct borrowing from Latin “let them[-singular] be absent”, used in UK English to denote a furmally purrmitted absence from a college fur the day; the latter is a unit of measurement fur electricity. i had to look these up on the spot ftr)
