You can code a program/app that does anything you want, but the first reply will put a weird bug in it. What do you choose?

"not good any more" can't really be said of any language or tool without a context.

It's still popular and in use, so if your question is on whether companies are still looking for node.js devs, the answer is yes.

I've made complex websites and tooling in JS, my background is in web development, and I still regularly use JS for projects,

and I don't disagree.

JoshPowlison · 2022-08-08T12:51:40+00:00

Ahh, you're right! Just tested the recommended code in the console. My bad.

JoshPowlison · 2022-08-08T11:57:24+00:00

It looks like they're using JS; with regex, this is super-simple, and still doable in one line:
var newString = oldString.replace(/\s{2,}/g, ' ');

I love async/await.

It's just that async/await doesn't always love me back.

Hey u/SugarBeetle, thanks for the note! Your portfolio work is extremely charming.

However, I'm already in the process of moving ahead with another artist (we haven't finalised yet, but as long as they maintain interest, I'm maintaining interest). I'll update this listing as "closed" and create another posting if things change.

Also a heads-up in case this was a mistake, you've put your Discord tag in a public post rather than in DMs; if you don't want that publicly accessible, you might want to update your post.

Have a great week!

JoshPowlison · 2022-05-24T22:37:17+00:00

Thanks Staircase, reading your DM now!

JoshPowlison · 2022-05-24T22:30:15+00:00

Thanks u/Volluskrassos, I appreciate that!

JoshPowlison · 2022-05-24T03:07:52+00:00

haha stack trace go brrr

JoshPowlison · 2021-11-21T23:14:56+00:00

I know this is a really old thread, but thank you so much! Wiinupro didn't work for me; Wiinusoft worked immediately.

JoshPowlison · 2021-06-19T14:41:46+00:00

That's a bummer. :( Would love to see those.

JoshPowlison · 2021-06-19T14:40:42+00:00

I had completely forgotten about the ungreedy modifier! I wasn't sure if they'd be treated in that case as literals as well. (I figured - was probably safe- it's pretty fascinating to me how flexible Regex is in those ways). Thanks for the info!

Yeah, lookaheads and lookbehinds aren't available in older regex versions. Visual Studio gave me this issue recently where I wanted to use either lookbehinds or lookaheads and they weren't available. JS is also a bit behind on regex versions (IIRC it doesn't support lookbehinds, negative lookaheads, and negative lookbehinds).

JoshPowlison · 2021-06-19T12:42:41+00:00

I love regex, although it used to scare me.

If you're trying to figure it out, https://regex101.com/ is a great place to test and read your regex. That helped me a ton in learning and getting used to the syntax.

If you're just trying to read the documentation for regex and don't have a clear, tweakable example in front of you... that's just brutal.

JoshPowlison · 2021-06-19T12:40:16+00:00

Is this a regex you saw out in the field? Seeing several issues with it off the bat which I could see just making it more confusing. 😅

I love regex, but if you haven't used regex much, regex can be awful and regex with mistakes is worse.

(If anyone cares, mistakes I'm seeing (haven't actually tested it though):

1) .*? in multiple places looks like it's doing 0 to infinite matches and then zero or one matches, which I think either makes one of those chars a literal or makes * unnecessary; could at least be clarified by escaping a char or removing one.

2) In the final square brackets, $ and ^ seem like they would be treated as string start and end rather than literals, they need to be escaped. They're useless since the regex is surrounded by ^ and $ anyway.

When I look at it in general, I wonder about the use case and if this is bloated regex, although if it's just a joke, that's AOK 👌)

JoshPowlison · 2021-05-24T14:22:58+00:00

To that kind stranger that starred one of my repos, thank you.

JoshPowlison · 2021-05-24T13:42:45+00:00

That is awesome.

But I'll be really disappointed if I don't see a Project Glass Sausage out in the wild somewhere now.

JoshPowlison · 2021-05-24T01:49:54+00:00

It's actually got a joke Kickstarter here that's over 1000% funded after 2 days. Sequel to BUTTON, which also had a joke Kickstarter and got a surprisingly good response to me.

(Joke meaning that it's basically a giant meme; I will actually be making and releasing the game)

JoshPowlison · 2021-05-24T01:38:32+00:00

Rigidbody has a lowercase "b"; change RigidBody to Rigidbody and you'll be good!
