Just when I think I'm out, awful systems pulls me right back in.

C++, Horrifying C++ for day 1b check it out ;)

Day 1: https://www.animeprincess.net/blog/?p=55

One day is enough for me though, writing deliberately off-the-wall code is surprisingly mentally taxing, and normally I make sure to never program outside of work.

    honestly I considered writing a parser-based approach

    then I was too tired and thought "hmm, doing this with grok would be funny", but I didn't have logstash handy and fuck dealing with containers at midnight

    I will, however, do that today

    Status report: grok allows for non-greedy matching but still captures greedily for term assignment. I think I have a workaround that might work (recursively pipe data back to itself, gated on length for action), need to test later

    This particular flavour of parsecrime is near guaranteed to be of interest to very few, but I want to see if I can make it work nonetheless. That’s just how my brainworms work.
