I'll take it if you want.
Would you prefer your clue posted - in which case give me a PM with clue and solution - or one of mine?

On second thought, I would not deprive you of trying to solve the clue. I will make sure I post it on time! I think this is a new style here.

The Disney Afternoon Studio Chorus - Chip 'N' Dale's Rescue Rangers Theme Song[^]
During my Christmas break I found this Disney album on Spotify.
It features some great tracks from my youth, the themes of Duck Tales, Gummi Bears, Tale Spin and Rescue Rangers.
I was actually searching for the Gummi Bears theme as I heard it in a piano medley by Lara6683 (can't really remember where or which, I think this one Another Mega Medley - YouTube[^]).
So needless to say I gave them a listen and then they turned out the be just great tracks with more to them than the minute you see on TV
Especially the Rescue Rangers theme got stuck in my head, it has some strong 80's vibes and has been on repeat since.
So the first SOTW of the year is a bit of nostalgia disguised as this awesome song

I remember the cartoon and also had the NES game

A friend of my cousin had the NES game.
A friend of mine had Duck Tales.
I had Tale Spin.
Rented Darkwing Duck at some point.
Haven't finished any of them as we were like six years old and we sucked
I think I came pretty darn close with Tale Spin though.
Good old times

Very catchy!
Here's a tune I shared over the holiday. It's from a group I'd never heard of, and more of the songs on that playlist are worthy of perusal: YOU MAN - "BIRDCAGE"

Second second: I've upvoted.
Music is awesome too, great find

Listening through it again: another great! YOU MAN - ALTERED STATES I'm always happy when I come across stuff like this that I've missed in the past!
(Or should I pretend to be a young millennial, and say "...stuff like this that I've missed in the passed?")

I've been listening to You Man almost non-stop since yesterday

That makes two of us! And yesterday wasn't my first day!

Great song! I've heard several other great Worakls remixes over the years, so they are worth checking out. Here's the one stashed in my library: N'to - Trauma (Worakls Remix). Kind of slow compared to most of my likes, but nice background stuff. Hell, you probably keyed me into them years ago, for all I remember!

I was chasing a "bug" all day. I finally solved it by realizing it wasn't a bug.
The "bug" was this - I was inputting a regular expression, and minimizing it, getting a new, simplified regular expression. Here's the original expressions
(foo|ba[rz])+[A-Z_a-z][A-Z_a-z0-9]*
Here was the expression I was getting out:
(ba[rz][A-Z_a-z]|foo[A-Z_a-z])[0-9A-Z_a-z]*
Notice there's no initial loop like in the original expression - just the loop at the end.
I thought it was wrong. It's not. While it could further be simplified into this:
(ba[rz]|foo)[A-Z_a-z][0-9A-Z_a-z]*
it wasn't actually wrong, which was what I thought the problem was.
Of course that's an equiv regex because foo, bar, and baz would all be matched with [A-Z_a-z][0-9A-Z_a-z]* !

After all these years, RegEx is still Voodoo to me and I don't really grok it. I usually copy regex scripts from the internet and tweak them a little, if needed.
Glad you figured it out.

It's a very simple functional language. I think the trouble people have with it is the operators are very short.
There's only a few core ones though. The rest is just syntactic sugar/shortcuts for them.

that's all you need technically, although expressions would get pretty long.

I find it a lot easier to write a regex that it is to read it. So - to me - copying from the internet and tweaking it sounds hard compared to writing one.
