@forivall It all makes sense if you can just switch between the two fast enough so it *looks* like something in between. Gender PWM.
The introvert/extrovert binary makes as much sense as the gender binary.
Startup idea: A big red button 🔴 with a USB port that enumerates as a keyboard ⌨ and when you press it, it emits CTRL-C so you can SIGINT your programs more dramatically 🎆

none of you could see it, but there was a moment during the server migration where me and chr both realized that we had completely failed to think through the fact that we were coordinating a server migration *using the platform we were migrating*.
luckily, we were both ssh'd into the same server, possibly leading to the first ever legitimate, 21st century usage usage of the 'wall' command.

Hey mastodon, is there anything analogous to regex for CJK character sets? How do people, say, filter a Korean text based on the initial sound in each Hangul character? Or find all characters in a Chinese text that contain a certain radical?
Do people just use regular expressions plus some helper libraries that sort out the text encodings, and that contain some language-specific information??
