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.

Agreed, except when I need it, I pull up the reference and grind through what I need.
I wonder if it would be possible to create an alternate language version of regex, one that is more easy for us regular people to work with, but could then be compiled down to a regex expression. Sort of like TypeScript is for JavaScript. Hmmm, sounds like an interesting project....

I create Regexes using Visual Studio Code, where we can experiment with the regex and get to see the result on the screen. Learnt about the Regex feature of Visual Studio Code in a Youtube video.

Unfortunately those tools don't really help me here because of what I'm doing - programmatically simplifying the expression. The whole bug was a brain fart on my part. I knew better. I just wasn't seeing it.
Basically my program was more clever than I was in the moment, and did a simplification I didn't understand at the time.

Sounds like a bug alright

Yeah, but that wasn't my issue.
My issue was I wasn't being as clever as my program was. It found a simplification for my regular expression that I didn't understand at the time even though I should have. It was a prolonged brain fart on my part. It wasn't a knowledge or tools issue. It was just me being a goof. Thanks though!
