Don't just say "sci-fi." What KIND of sci-fi? Space opera? Cyberpunk? Military sci-fi? Micro-genres help you target the *right* readers. Use tropes in your marketing to attract your ideal audience! #microgenres #tropes #bookmarketing #indieauthor #selfpublishing

If I scripted a TV show where a character didn't clean their teeth and spit in the sink... would anyone bother watching?

Hm.

Masks over the eyes: hero.

Masks over the mouth: villain.

Am I wrong?

[edit] Should have said, I'm 100% comparing ICE to comic-book superheroes. [/edit]

N-gated Hacker News Mar 23

Ah, the #classic 🤦 "we discovered something obvious and decided to blog about it" trope. Apparently, #regex engines have been lying to us for decades, promising #speed but delivering #molasses 🐢. Who knew a computer science relic from the '70s would be today's tech bloggers' favorite bandwagon? 🎉

finding all regex matches has always been O(n²). even in the engines built to prevent it | ian erik varatalu

every regex engine that promises linear time breaks that promise the moment you ask for all matches. the problem has been there since the 70s, hiding in the iteration loop.

This can't be good - we're at ep 32 and there's already a wedding. (Technically it's their second wedding, but the first one is mostly part of the backstory.) Is this a Neo Hou thing? In Back From the Brink he marries the fl thrice, and there's room for a third wedding here.

Another explanation could be that Hou picks romance dramas I actually want to watch - I'm not big on the genre so I don't know if this is common 🤷🏻‍♀️

Review: Azumi

Azumi (あずみ), 1994-2008, Koyama, Yuu, Big Comic Superior Warning for (a lot of) rape and murder. STORY: 8 Meet Azumi, a child soldier raised to become the deadliest assassin of medieval Japan. Follow her along dangerous missions as she murders literally dozens (if not hundreds) of people who could upset the stability of the Tokugawa shogunate.
