@Luuklag Actually.... that's not too bad of an idea! I can even mimic our old biology teacher that told the horse-girls the stick insects in his class were carnivorous... then stuck his hand into the terrarium XD
@Luuklag I already proposed it once, and I will do so again: Keep a list and post all of em at once, on Friday during Happy Hour ;)
@Spevacus I don't really think so. Everyone here is already pretty quick on closing the blatantly off-topic stuff... and those posts really don't take more than a single button press for a mod to handle entirely.
And you can't just set a maximum length for the strings you want to compare (by e.g. first cutting/padding both of them to a set length) and then match?
@Luuklag I should get back into a healthier rhythm. Lately I've been having trouble getting to sleep (awake until 2/3 am) and then in the mornings I am still in deep sleep when the alarm goes.... and yawning all day. So yeah. PC off now, and no more screens for about an hour. Then... it's attempting to fall asleep XD
If I have to implement this as a function level check, I'm planning on doing it like this:
> Load the whole message text > Load the list of mentions > Strip all the mentions out with replace > Strip all the whitespace with replace > Count the remaining string
@rene No, it should count the non-mention chars (so everything that isn't <@ and > with a number in between. And match the full string if there aren't at least 4 non whitespace chars
@rene Yes, if you take a scale and drop it on the photo the stuff on the left is 5&7 hundred meters apart. As far as astronomical distances go it's worth going there for some photos to check it out.
