[conspire] The plural of regex is regrets

[Deirdre Saoirse Moen]

I hadn’t heard this one before, but it sounds like it’s a reference to an old joke.

When someone pasted the RFC 822 compliant (email address) regex, the followup comment, "You really need to work on your ASCII art my dude” got a good chortle out of me. Also possibly handled by the regex (I haven’t checked, frankly), but 💩.la is an actual valid domain (that’s a pile of poo emoji if your email client is doing bad things to it), so it should handle domains like that.

Anyhow, any long regex thread that involves programming always, always, always mentions my favorite Stack Overflow answer ever, one so golden they locked it and put a moderator note up not to report it as it was actually rendering correctly.
