@HomegrownTomato phonennumbers doesn't recognize it as a valid phone #, so it'll never be reported.

user259867

Hm. Is it important to use that library, anyway? Does it filter out fps that pass the regex?

hichris123

I... think so?

user259867

Okay. Then I suggest a modular approach: do not put a negative lookaround for digits at the end of the regex for numbers that begin with +. This way the above will still be reported after it's truncated by regex and then passed to that library.

user259867

Or if it's too complicated, just drop the filter. Does it really make a difference in the fate of posts? Hardly.

@Braiam One nice thing about Haskell is that even if you try to overwrite something from the prelude, it errors out when you actually try to use it, because now it's defined twice. You'd have to do import prelude hiding (True) for this to work.

Q: Do tomatoes really need support to grow?

I am new to gardening and I am starting out with tomatoes. I keep reading that tomatoes need support like a stake or a cage. However is there a reason why they can't just grow on the ground like pumpkins or watermelons? Do wild tomatoes grow with support as well?

@HomegrownTomato, your time to shine.

blacklist candidate eyebornfacts.org

Apparently this isn't a thing anymore?

Jun 1 at 6:38, by Homegrown Tomato

Blacklist candidate proposal. Blacklisting facts\\.(com|net|org) worked very well: not a single fp that I've seen (although legitimate sites with such URL exist, they are rarely mentioned). This pattern actually made 10 other entries of Smokey's blacklist obsolete, since they also end in "facts". I suggest extending this way of blacklisting to recovery(pro)?\\.(com|net|org), which would include 14 of existing patterns. And maybe password\\.(com|net|org), including 5 existing patterns.

@Doorknob github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/blob/master/…

user259867

@Doorknob The offensive word was near the beginning of the post, so it was included in the excerpt that is transmitted by websockets. Smokey checks that immediately, and reports as "body". The full-body check is delayed, since it consumes API.

user259867

What's the word that means, basically, pythonic, but for other languages? Sort of like idiomatic.

Context being, I'm trying to say that while you could do something in (x) language, it isn't consistent with the philosophy of that language/how it's meant to be used.

I know there's a single good word for this but can't for the life of me remember it nor google it...

Not that EL&U would be a bad way to get SO specific words I suppose, I'm sure plenty of those users are from there.

Joe

Idiomatic works pretty well, and is what i'll use until I figure out the actual word. The specific word I have liked before and want to use, though.

It would be the equivalent of writing a c++ program using entirely functional style, no objects at all.

You just keep it in two separate tables. :)
