Well, technically it's Saturnalia (Roman), or Mithras(mas) because the early Christians moved their birthday to match existing celebrations - but what gets my goat is religious types muscling in on "Bring A Tree Indoors And Get Drunk With Your Family" Season ...

Hey, I'm celebrating Midvinterblot.
I'll get you your horse head for Mari Lwyd.
The tree is just for show.

So... what (or whom...) are you sacrificing this time?

I prefer horses, and kings. But the kings we don't eat.

Gift-Giving - the Festival of Janus if I recall. Certainly Roman festivals - Wikipedia[^] a good way to drum up membership.
As things have turned out, Janus is the prototype/template for the modern politician.

I tried to implement unicode matching in my DFA based regex engine.
The trouble is that the ranges are huge (ranges of characters that are letters for example, for matching \p{L} and the like)
Keep in mind, below performance is related to time it takes to *generate the code* not time it takes the code to run (which is pretty constant.)
Most of my engine is optimized for ranges so this is usually fine, but I just learned that it's pretty much impossible? (i never like to use that word but there it is) to optimize a powerset construction to work with ranged data better, because computing the optimization takes longer than the time the optimization would save!
So to transform an NFA to a DFA with unicode could take an hour.
This means I can't use the algorithm i've been using for years (due to its simplicity and runtime performance characteristics)
I now know *why* modern regex engines are almost always NFA, not DFA, and I think it's because of unicode. This despite the engine being less internally efficient than DFA.
So now I need to learn to make an NFA based runtime matching engine efficiently and there is very little I can find online.
I did find a tutorial on building it that's rather nice, but it's in Swift which is a really weird language and I'm not sure I'm up for the learning curve just for this one bit of code. I guess I'll have to be though. Funny, because I'll only ever use it to learn how to do this particular thing, probably.
I feel kind of embarrassed for not knowing this for years, until I ran face first into it. I always thought I could optimize the powerset construction for ranges, and I planned to eventually but nope. You have to do it a character at a time.
Time for rolex 2.0 so i can build slang a proper tokenizer.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Forget your hearing aids?
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
