How do you enter a tab character in the test string without losing focus of the text field?

When I start typing the regex, the cheatsheet gets pushed below the visible part of the page as the "explanation" section expands itself. It would be nice if the cheat sheet remained next to the regex field as I typed in the regex.
I just read this fun Wikipedia article for language nerds:

Because I created the charts programmically, and there may have been a sorting issue since the numbers are equal.

I'll see if I can fit in a 16th university, or manually replace Duke.

EDIT: Done. Sorry about the confusion (I'm still learning!)
You're right - they announced it at LoneStarRuby Conf, and I'm at the conference, so I have Ruby on the mind :-)
I'm amazed at the confusion in regards to what's deduced from the consumption of vegetables and similarly healthy foods (and using that to push vitamins).

It's every bit as important, in my opinion, to not eat killer foods, as it is to eat vegetables. That is, a neutral effect alone would be enough to show dramatic health improvements. This is where the pro vitamin arguments went wrong from day one.

Water isn't a miracle elixir that cures cancer. Strip out all high fructose corn syrup and sugar from all American beverages, and the equivalent conclusion would be to suggest that water cures obesity, diabetes and cancer (when in fact the absence of sugar and HFCS is what's doing the trick).

Also, telling me that people took vitamins without showing me their specific day to day diets and exercise routines, is absurdity to put it very mildly. Dietary input and exercise is radically more important than the vitamins in the health outcomes.
Researcher Proposes Using Machine Learning to Improve Network Defense
With increasing amounts of machine-generated data from the internet of things, is machine learning the future of information security monitoring?
The patents cover long file names (which are embedded in the directory using "illegal" directory entries).

UEFI users (as in: OS installer) could restrain themselves to FAT16 with 8.3 names (FAT16 since the boot partition is usually tiny), and I haven't seen any longer file names yet.

Yes, more people need to know about "git grep". Did you know you can do things like `git grep -e foo --and -e bar --and --not -e baz`? "git grep" is great.
Alright, point taken. Then systemd is not for you. However I want to argue that not all software should cater to everybody. While modularity (which in this discussion is apparently defined as "the ability to disable or swap components") is often seen as a good thing, there are quite a lot of downsides as well:

- Certain guarantees and consistencies disappear. Instead of having a system that you know you can rely on, it suddenly becomes entirely dependent on the configuration options. While it sounds nice if any part can be enabled, disabled, moved or swapped, then the system's predictability goes down. Furthermore, some combinations may be incompatible because abstractions are inherently leaky. Good luck finding out whether you're suffering from a compatibility problem or not. You can compare this to the many complaints about Android fragmentation. Because everybody can customize Android, writing an app that works on all Android devices becomes extremely difficult.

- Installation complexity goes way up. It's much easier to install a system if it states "I need this, this and this", instead of "I can use this, or this, or this, if it's configured in X, Y and Z way".

- Certain features cannot be implemented in a simple manner because you have to cater to the lowest common denominator. XFree86 was like that. Because it had to be portable, it cannot assume any kernel capabilities. And as a result XFree86 came with its own mode setting code, its own ELF binary loader, had to run as root, etc etc.

I cannot believe that the #1 comment responding to his thanks is basically a political one to raise awareness of the "broken" U.S. healthcare system, so I'll respond in-kind.

What was broken in this case was described by his statement: "I had no medical insurance and the few benefits I had with the VA would take months of paperwork to get me in." You can blame that on Ted Kennedy, btw. He is the one that made health insurance an institution in the U.S. The best chance we have at good healthcare here has nothing to do with government or health insurance, it was to do with doctors that are willing to say F.U. to the system and provide healthcare directly to paitents without middlemen. So, that's the other side of the politics. Now back to what we really should be talking about...

I think it is wonderful that his cancer was treated and that people here helped. Cancer really fucking sucks. I hate Cancer with a deep passion that some of you out there understand. Others of you like to think of how great your resume looks and how you are going to land a fat house on the beach. I used to also.

German Intelligence Used NSA Spy Program
I think Gladwell makes some good points and that cultural factors can play a role in these things.

But I can't help but wonder if these same cultural factors can go both ways and maybe we're obsessively focusing on just one effect. For example, it might be that deference to hierarchy and older people leads to children taking responsibility and care of their parents in old age more. It might even be that the elderly in these places live longer and more happier lives as a result and that this outweighs the (still tragic but rare) plane accident.

It reminds me a bit of the terrorism situation in the US. We obsess over these things which are relatively rare and spend great effort to eliminate. But what are we losing in the process?
That's not really fair. Google has been pretty good about defining activity on G+, much more so than either Twitter or Facebook. For example, they give individual numbers for total users visiting G+ on web/mobile, people using G+ features across all products (+1s, shares, comments), and total number of accounts.
No, what happened was init scripts. Something completely alien to the original init tab concept. It was an extremely ugly hack that worked only because of extensive documentation and effort by much larger amount of people than systemd has now. Both systemd and journal are an actual solution. Try journalctl on your system, it actually makes sense! The silly thing even has bash completion of filtering criteria! And they are both lightning fast.

Having to create a separate account on N services with the same credentials is simpler than having a unified account? And what if your login is already taken on one of the other services, now you're forced to have multiple credentials. And then when you need to update something, like change an email address, 2factor authentication, or some other feature, you've now got to edit settings on many services.

If you want an anonymous Google account, simply create one, which is what everyone has been doing for a long time, even for gmail prior to G+, people would create multiple accounts.

The model isn't K identities and N services, you need O(K*N) credentials in the worse case. It's K identities and N services is O(K) credentials.
Regular Expressions are perhaps my weakest point with regards to programming.

I realize that they are just little sub-dialects that I need to learn the rules of but I've never had a project which required me to take the time to write extensive regular expressions.

On the rare occasion that I do need to use a regular expression I find tools like this to be invaluable.

This tool looks particularly nice.

Community Forum section, online quiz, even IRC placed right within the page!

My favorite feature is definitely the ability to share a regular expression you've created via a link.

Nice work! (also I just followed https://twitter.com/regex101)
I'm curious, why are you so vehemently opposed to having an account? You could very easily just not provide public profile information, never post, and never add anyone.

I tried ownCloud recently on a Raspberry Pi and found it dog slow. I'm not sure if I just found it at a bad time, or if it requires some more serious hardware, but it wasn't usable for me personally.
I can honestly say in 12 years of coding full time for a living, I've never once used a complex regular expression. It could be my general aversion to complex regexes though, as I find they make code difficult to read, and are usually slower than alternative solutions.

Simple regexes on the other hand, I use all the time.

One thing to note is Windows 7 won't recognize a FAT16 formatted UEFI partition, but Windows 8 works fine. I use fat16 for my uefi partitions because I only ever add in memtest and Arch. Good job MS!
Yes, I was required to set up a Google+ account some time ago to re-log-in to YouTube or Picasa Web Albums - I don't remember which. The description of what was going on didn't make it clear to me that following the prescribed steps would create a Google+ account, but that was the effect.

However, there was a saving grace, as far as I'm concerned. I was allowed to remove my real name from my Google account and use my ancient on-line alias instead. That's all I ever wanted.

Some would say having your family members avoid G+ is one of the primary benefits of G+. So instead of being barraged by a stream of photos of cousins and aunts you haven't seen in decades, or discussing family gossip, you get to engage in interesting conversations based on people with similar strong interests in particular topics.

None of the people I follow on G+ are 'friends' with the exception of co-workers, instead, they are people who have very interesting things to say and who I like interacting with. Twitter would be a comparable use case, but it is too annoying to have long form stream discussions with followers like this.

Gladwell is very clear that the corporation Korean Air had terrible pilots an terrible piloting procedures, not that Koreans were terrible pilots. He is very clear that Korean Air admitted this, and worked throughout the nineties to change it. He said nothing about the Korean pilots working for Asiana or smaller regional airlines like Air Busan or Jeju.
systemd can log the PID, UID and GID of a message because its using a Linux-specific feature of datagram based local sockets; such a feature cannot be supported on other Unix systems. But there are other reasons to use syslogd/rsyslogd/syslog-ng besides logging to local files, and that's to forward the logs to a centralized logging service. Of course, there are issues with that, as the default syslog protocol also allows any process, anywhere, to claim it is any other process (and if root, even fake its own source address) but it's being addressed (I know rsyslogd is, I'm not sure about other syslogd replacements).

My issue with systemd is that forwarding logs to a central server is an afterthought, if even that. And the problem with that is that it won't be as secure or work as well if it's part of the design. And another issue with the "afterthought support for remote logging" is that I still need to run syslogd/rsyslogd/syslog-ng because I have a ton of other network equipment (routers) that can forward their logs via the syslog protocol (which I have used on networks I've managed---by doing that, I've been able to receive notifications of OSPF routing changes, for instance). And if I have syslogd/rsyslogd/syslog-ng already running, what are the benefits of systemd logging?
I don't think it's a grand nefarous plan.

They just thought that they made it.
That all the revolutions of desktop browsing (or PDA OSes) are over, and what they have to do until the end of eternity is introducing small evolutionary changes while preserving reverse compatibility.

And that they did. But they were wrong, browsing revolution happened which left IE6, 7 and partially 8 in the dust. Mobile happened, which made them throw away all the Windows Mobile and make it from scratch.

They were not ready to innovate by writing heroic projects fast and tried to persuade market that glacial is okay from now.
I love systemd, but from a lot of experience with it over 3 years now, that doesn't disable the journal daemon, it only prevents output piping to its binary logs. You can still poll the journal daemon for events and output it elsewhere (ex, syslog).
This is super stupid. I have two business accounts and a personal account. Google now forced me to have 3 Google Plus profiles - and yes, I did discover exactly the same.

It would be nice to return to the times of gender-neutral clothing, and perhaps keep it that way until the child expresses a preference. After all, genitals don't determine gender, they determine sex.
Ubuntu just started using logind in 13.04, but haven't adopted the rest of systemd. Some parts (journal, systemd core, udev) can't be detached, but a lot of the peripheral software outside the init -> maintain services -> log events process are optional.
That's pretty cool. The verb conjugation for "to be" seems to be actually useful in this context. It sounds a little wrong to me, but that's just a matter of habit, and it would probably flow better in written English than writing he/she.
It's still not showing on the page for me.
I agree. I was just referring to the title of the link which mentions encryption, something I didn't find on the site linked.
The resources needed are less than you would think. A child raised with specific kinds of support and challenges is more likely to have an impact on the world than one raised with every advantage. You can get an idea of the useful kinds of challenges and support by looking at the childhoods of actual successful people.

http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/0910707561 is a good source of insight based on it. However I would humbly suggest that consciously attempting to follow some of its advice would be legally actionable.
I do want to mention binary logs piss me off, but I just set up journald to output to syslog and everything is fine. I just ignore journalctl. I personally find it to be quite slow, but I can just set it to not log its binary blobs.
>"How old are they?" "When did you have them?" "Are they a boy or a girl?" "They are adorable."

Those sentences sound completely normal and grammatical to me.
Why? TechCrunch publishes stories every day about US companies acquiring US companies. These stories are newsworthy. But if an entrepreneur who happens to have been born in Nigeria sells his company to Apple it is not newsworthy? Did he have to be living on a tree and subsisting on wild fruits and nuts in the Niger Delta swamps for it to be newsworthy?

I'm from Ann Arbor and have lived in New York. The tech scene in Ann Arbor is quite strong, especially considering its only a town of 110k or so. Most of our startups and incubators are centered around the university, so I would recommend at least living close by. Its an amazing place to grow up or start a family in too.
> Err I don't think this would stop me.

On the contrary go right ahead. Learning through doing is the way to go. I'm just saying there's a big difference between testing/learning/prototyping and releasing something that is claimed to be secure. Otherwise you end up with Cryptocat[1].

> Even with that possibility though, I still think using browser-based crypto creates a more secure environment than the server storing unencrypted files.

If you're using any JS then you have to completely trust the server that is serving it. At any point the server could replace "good.js" with "bad.js" and the browser will happily execute it. Any encryption you perform on the client side would be moot as "bad.js" could do whatever it wants with your plaintext and your encryption keys.

> If the data is unencrypted, an attacker that manages to own the server has access to everyone's data. With it encrypted, the attacker will only get data from users who are using the site while it's owned.

Again you're trusting the server to not save your encryption keys though by serving you "good.js" and not "bad.js"! All roads lead back to you trusting the server to play nice.

Unless you use untrusted remote services as opaque object stores and handle all encryption via secure code on the client side with proper signatures to prevent remote tampering[2], you're trusting the server not to compromise you.

[1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocat#Security_concerns

[2]: Tarsnap (https://www.tarsnap.com/) is a perfect example of a client not trusting the server. The tarsnap service stores it's data on S3 but first all data is encrypted client side on your own machine. From the tarsnap service's perspective it's just storing a bunch of random binary blobs and that's all your client sends/recieves. Encryption/decryption happens locally on your machine.
I would like to see regex mapped in url so I have the option to send a regex to someone in this website. It doesn't have to be server side URL mapping. Just push the regex to location hash and let JavaScript parse it back.
Eh, I think Gladwell has a point here. "Captain, Guam condition is no good." doesn't count as "speaking up" when a situation is potentially life-threatening. Then you say something like "This approach is very dangerous, I think we should try something else."
Does journald impose a sufficient performance penalty that you want to remove it entirely?
I use systemd and find it to be significantly faster boot-wise than Upstart and the sysv scripts. One doesn't do socket initialization and the other is a bunch of slow ass shell scripts. It doesn't matter if systemd is beefy if the actual task of starting services is lightning fast.

Just for comparison, last year I was triple booting Debian Testing, Ubuntu 12.04, and Arch. I use KDE on all 3 (I do active development on KDE in the Arch one) and logged my boot times over 6 months. I misplaced those records but the effective boot times were around 15 seconds for Debian, 25 for Ubuntu, and 5 for Arch. Mainly because tasks in Ubuntu like NetworkManager or tmpfs mounting were taking 5 - 10 seconds and nothing else was running.
