Irregex-split has a strange result on the 'bol test >>140 as well, due to the fact that irregex-fold/fast cannot match a 'bol at position 1.
$ guile --no-auto-compile -l irregex.scm
GNU Guile 2.2.3
[...]
scheme@(guile-user)> (irregex-split 'bol "\n\n\n\n\n\n")
$1 = ("\n\n" "\n" "\n" "\n" "\n")So the chunk tampering behavior makes irregex-split >>143 misbehave as well.
every thread you participate in dies, rightfully. Nobody is interested, nobody is interacting with you
You would have to know which posts are mine to make this assertion. Either you do not possess this information, in which case you are not in a position to make the assertion and it is therefore vacuous, or you do possess this information, in which case you already know the assertion to be false while you are making it. A subset of my posts can be found in the "How can I run my own instance of this" thread, the only thread that maxed out so far, the current thread prior to the irregex session, and the "LISP Puzzles" thread. They received the average amount of interaction for a programming board, except in "LISP Puzzles" where it was a bit higher. Those three threads happen to be the top three threads by post count on this board, so your statement is contradicted by verifiable reality. Your opinion is also not shared by https://textboard.org/prog/39#t39p106 who referred to the first irregex bughunt, which was written in a style that was a lot less terse than the one used for the current bughunt. It also seems a bit strange that you are offering the interaction you claim is missing, even if you are doing it in an off-topic way unrelated to programming. I find it hard to believe that you really cannot perceive the irony of going out of your way to repeatedly raise the post count of a thread I post in while claiming it to be dead.
send a message to the maintainer
use github
Since you claim to know which posts are mine, you already know my stance on accounts, verification and enabling remote code execution, so these suggestions make no sense. See also: https://textboard.org/prog/140#t140p7

Just stop for one moment and reconsider if a half-dead textboard really needs a fedora-tipping nerd annoying everyone with a pointless monologue.

And of course other programming boards don't have nonsense like this
You can help out by linking what you consider to be the best programming content posted reasonably recently on an anonymous programming board, so I can use it to improve my future posts. You can also easily avoid seeing my posts during this period by simply not opening "SchemeBBS [part 2]", "LISP Puzzles" and the current thread. If the irregex posts specifically elicit this reaction from you, I can help you with that as well. Here is a script that replaces the body of any post containing "irregex" with a warning.
Array.from (document.querySelectorAll ("dl > dd")).filter (e => /irregex/i.test (e.innerHTML)).forEach (e => { e.innerHTML = "<p>Warning: this post may contain trace amounts of irregex.</p>"; })I hope this helps you have a more pleasant experience during your stay on textboard.org. The script is idempotent so feel free to run it repeatedly for additional peace of mind. Alternatively it may simply be the case that you are looking for a technology board rather than a programming board.
exactly the same thing
A moment of reflection will allow you to easily perceive the difference between a bug in the schemebbs source code that can abort the running instance, and the fix for that bug, which belong in "SchemeBBS [part 2]", and a class of bugs in one of the libraries schemebbs depends on but which do not hit schemebbs directly, and therefore belong in a second thread, such as "What are you working on?".
over half the threads on the frontpage
Exactly 2/10, soon to be 1/10. I'm sure you understand that there is a point past which a hyperbole will have the exact opposite of its intended effect.
I'm not sure where this need comes from, to post a stream of trivially refutable falsehoods. Perhaps it is the accepted standard of interaction on some other boards. Here, however, the main currency is on-topic programming content. Those who have outlandish reactions to the irregex posts can instead show up the irregex poster simply by posting better written and more focused on-topic programming content. They are more than welcome to do so, and I will enjoy reading it.
