Wine gum

Wine gums (or winegums) are chewy, firm pastille-type sweets similar to gumdrops without the sugar coating. While generally manufactured from gelatin, at least one winegum brand, Swedish Fish, contains no gelatin; all have their own mixes containing various sweeteners, flavourings, and colourings. Wine gums are popular in Ireland, the United Kingdom, many Commonwealth nations, and several northern, middle European countries and Kuwait. Common brands include Maynards, Bassett's, and Waterbridge. The gums come in five shapes: kidney, crown, diamond, circle and rectangle, and are labelled ...

@Fluttershy What. The. Crap.

Koviko

@Ktash ahem I need a moment to look at this.

user15026

3:02 AM

@Ktash O.o What is -that-?"

Koviko

@AshleyNunn Eyebrows, eyes, and mouths it seems.

Ktash

var eyebrows = "[30O\\}\\{]?",
eyes = "[;:8=]",
accessories = "[\'\"]?",
noses = "[\\-\\^vo]?",
mouths = "[\\)\\]\\(\\|\\\\\\/oO0\\[\\?!3cCD@xXPpbÞSs]";

Koviko

Oh, and noses

user15026

....okay then

murgatroid99

@Ktash the escape sequence in the last character group is different in the first regex (only one `\`)

Koviko

3:04 AM

@murgatroid99 The escapes look fine to me.

murgatroid99

@Ktash oh, all of them are different

Ktash

@murgatroid99 For which escape?

Koviko

In JS, he has to escape the escape character to use it as a character in the regex.

And the escaping of the quotation marks is b/c it's a string.

murgatroid99

@Koviko yeah, I didn't notice the difference at first

Ktash

Probably don't need the one for the single quote though '

murgatroid99

3:05 AM

@Ktash you know, you don't need to escape most of the things in those character classes

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Like?

Koviko

@Ktash I know, but I try not to nitpick at people's code.

@murgatroid99 Like this. lol

murgatroid99

@Ktash you only need to escape ^-\], and only ^ if it's the first character

Koviko

Example: You don't need to escape the caret character when it's not at the start of the group

Beat me to it

Ktash

I always over escape things like that because different regex engines in different browsers have different rules

murgatroid99

3:07 AM

@Ktash also, you only need to escape hyphen if it's between two other characters

Koviko

@Ktash Very true. Looking at you, IE JScript.

murgatroid99

@Ktash do you have a g flag set? I think that might help

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Shinrai @pixel et al:

Easy stack splitting.
1) Left-click the stack so it is stuck on the mouse cursor
2) In the assembly window, while the stack icon is still on your cursor, right-click a box to place a single unit.
3) Make your pattern
4) Assemble
5) PROFIT!

Ktash

Koviko

@murgatroid99 That was my first guess, but the HTML in question doesn't actually have any line breaks.

murgatroid99

3:08 AM

@Koviko g is for global, not multiline

Ktash

Added g, matches all now

Koviko

@murgatroid99 But it only seems to make a difference in multiline.

<- not an expert

Ktash

but the ones it wasn't working on didn't have more than 1 match

Koviko

@Ktash So, fixed?

Ktash

Maybe...?

murgatroid99

3:09 AM

@Koviko regex is my second top tag on SO

Ktash

dunno, only works on first load right now, so we'll see

Koviko

@murgatroid99 Good thing you're here, then. :)

What's the diff between global and multiline?

murgatroid99

@Ktash wait, it looks like your regex has an open paren with no close

Koviko

Global = multiple matches?

murgatroid99

@Koviko yes, and multiline makes ^ and $ match line breaks

Ktash

3:11 AM

@murgatroid99 That code doesn't have any parens

murgatroid99

and changes whether . matches \n

Koviko

@murgatroid99 What does global do to ^ and $? Keep it as absolute start and end?

@murgatroid99 Same with /s?

murgatroid99

@Koviko I don't think it affects them

Ktash

all parens should be escaped in those sequences

Koviko

@Ktash Otherwise, you'd be having bigger issues.

murgatroid99

3:12 AM

@Ktash there's something right after the noses

Ktash

@murgatroid99 noses = "[\\-\\^vo]?"

comes out to [\-\^vo]?

murgatroid99

@Ktash he's referring to chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5482285#5482285

3:16 AM

@Ktash You've got your work cut out for you.

murgatroid99

@Ktash your escaping is inconsistent. It's kind of confusing

Ktash

@murgatroid99 inconsistent?

Oh, that's from SE chat mangling it

murgatroid99

@Ktash I'm not sure. Why do you have so many backslashes in a row? you can only match one

Fluttershy

Anyone here have any DayZ experience?

murgatroid99

@Ktash can you take out all of the escapes from characters that don't need them? It's kind of hard to read

Ktash

3:17 AM

@murgatroid99 \\ <- one backslash in the string

murgatroid99

@Ktash I meant this: "\\\\\\"

Ktash

so it comes out to \\ in the regex with 4 backslashes

plus the escape for the next character

so 5 in a row

murgatroid99

@Ktash as I said, it's hard to read with all of the unnecessary escaping

Ktash

/\\\// is what it comes out to

hard to read either way ;)

murgatroid99

@Ktash I have a feeling you don't need to escape a forward slash in the middle of a character class

Ktash

3:20 AM

@murgatroid99 Again, some js engines might let it pass. Most I would guess would not

Anywhoo, losing interest for now. Work on it more later

murgatroid99

@Ktash why?

Ktash

@murgatroid99 JS regex is not very complex or good... most of the time

murgatroid99

@Ktash I'm pretty sure it's basically standard, though

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Perl or POSIX differences plus bugs, implementation differences, etc. In the end, my regex usually is coded in a way that works everywhere and ignores some of the fancier features

I'd rather code safe than twice :)

user15026

this all sounds really complicated

murgatroid99

3:26 AM

@Ktash well, this seems to work: /[30O}{]?[;:8=]['"]?[-^vo]?[)\](|\\/oO0[?!3cCD@xXPpbÞSs]/g (in chrome javascript console)

@Ktash anyway, I'm going to bed. Good luck with the script

think if I closed my eyes for more than a few seconds right now I'd pass out again

Patrick Stalder

wow can your body handle that much sleep? Isn't that like a overdose?

I hadn't slept since Friday

10 /4 averages at 2.5 hours /day

Patrick Stalder

Ok, i don't even know how you stay up that long. I would pass out during the first night.

Kappei

I used to be able to do those things

now if I don't get at least 4-5 hours of sleep per night I'd pass away while working

@Kappei that's why I slept lastnight, because I was starting to get sleepy at work

Q: Do Evasion and Protection work against non-physical damage?

The mage's specializations in the elemental trees grant, with 32 points spent, a protection from a single element for the whole party. Are the resistances the only way to protect your characters from magical and non physical damage, or are Evasion and Protection also factored in?

@PatrickStalder How do you grab onto pipes again?

I'm having a wide running jump followed by a vertical pipe grab

but I can't grab the pipe no matter what I press

Patrick Stalder

@badp I think its running into them or jumping into them. If there is a key you will have to take a look into the Settings. But as I said long time ago :P

badp

Also WHY OH WHY won't Mirror Edge support windowed mode and crash while tabbed out

fuck this

Q: Do different foods restore a different amount of hunger?

While exploring the depths of mount Grimrock, your adventurers can find different kinds of food. Excluding their aspect, is the weight the only difference between the various foods, or do they restore a different amount of hunger as well?

Q: What is the reasoning behind the "no questions whose answer would be a list" rule?

If the question were worded in such a way that while the (proper/correct) answer would be a list but that the list is strictly limited in scope, why is this a problem? I can think of several answers, but they all seem to indicate that awarding reputation is more important than questions being ans...

Q: MAME crashes on a fresh new installed Ubuntu 12.04 with illegal instruction core dumped

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04, got the updates, and installed Mame via apt-get. The installation went fine, but now when I run it I get "Illegal Instruction - Core Dumped". Some hint? Thank you.

His example of a list question without an infinite number of answers is:

> Which actors have portrayed satan in Hollywood (or American indie) films since 1970?

Every time a new movie is released someone would need to check if Satan is portrayed in that answer.

So the list may be technically finite, in practice it's not.

lim_{t\to\infty} \text{answers} = \infty

@Wipqozn Dibs on asking the same question with 1965 as the min date!

Can't we cap the list questions at some low score? Somewhere around 2 or 3 sounds good. — John O Jul 14 at 2:33
