Without even going into the technical side of things, what I really don't understand about these sorts of projects is: What are you trying to achieve, exactly? Some of material that DarkLeaks is being advertised as "the best tool

Yeah, I guess so... At least the gem does use the methods "encode" and "decode".

That looks really cool - I haven't seen it before, thanks! The "offending system" I mentioned, however, is our old PHP application that I don't really work on. (I mainly develop much more modern Rails stuff!) Like I said

My company considers one of its systems "more secure" because they enforce a policy that all passwords must contain 8+ non-space characters. The implementation? "Must be 8+ characters; must not contain spaces." I've

As others have suggested, the best "standardised regex" solution would just be something like: /.*@.*/ Some people aren't happy with this because it allows invalid emails to be entered. But the alternative

I believe this falls under the category of "things that may be fun to play around with but should never be used in a real system". Unfortunately, I bet there are thousands of "real systems" employing regexes like this...

This seems like another one of this startup ideas that will blow up, sell for $X,000,000 in a few weeks/months, then die as the fad wears off. Congrats on being so successful so far, but my advice would be to sell out before the invest

Thanks :) It's still "under development", while I add a few missing features, but as you can see from the README these are only for fairly obscure parts of the regex language! - E.g. POSIX groups, named properties, character

I'm currently working on a ruby gem to generate examples of given regular expression. For example: /this|is|awesome/.examples # => ["this", "is", "awesome"] So, I tried it out on t

Nice, although I'd hardly call this a complex challenge to solve with a bit of code! The only really challenging part of this was what you briefly touched on towards the end: > If I were more clever, I would have updated the script

I wonder what the graph would look like if "Javascript" was broken down by framework, though...

I've already seen plenty of discussion about it on r/bitcoin et al. I'm pretty sure most people "in the loop" have already heard about this.

I keep hearing about Islamic terrorists, but I haven't seen any. Doesn't mean they don't exist, or aren't causing problems in the world!

I don't think the culpability problem is that hard to solve... Surely all that would really change is when buying a new car, you are purely insuring the vehicle and not the person! The whole notion of "no claims discount"
