Some screen recording showing what the overengineered regex engine can do.

Originally intended for the landing page (draft), but ultimately I found the movements too distracting.

(The detail data shown is synthetic.)

"I know. I'll just design a clip to hold the two screws in place."

Two evenings in #FreeCAD later...

New UI feature for the overengineered regex engine: Click something which looks like a number, get a histogram right away.
Improved algorithms once more. Same hardware as before.

I redesigned the thread pools, moved some synchronization logic into inline assembly and (as "prayers are not a very effective concurrency primitive"[1]) sacrificed a virgin calendar[2] to the scheduling gods.

Result: The overengineered regex engine has entered ludicrous speed. Full text regular expression scanning at >150GB/s.

(This is not a perfect run, the best I've seen for this query was 161.5GB/s.)

How I know your ad tech is not successfully tracking me:

PrusaSlicer: "Detected print stability issues: Thin fragile part."

Me: *simulates 1kN total force* I don't believe you.

Wife: We need a new bottle shelf.

(I love CAD.)

Watch me overthink the task of holding two 15mm aluminium t-beams in place
