"The regular expression does not cope with comments in email addresses. The RFC allows comments to be arbitrarily nested. A single regular expression cannot cope with this."

i guess no regex is fully RFC compliant then

there are a lot of email validation regexes that claim to catch almost all valid addresses but i've only ever seen one claim that it matches the RFC perfectly, and it's incredible

Peter Thiel is my favorite billionaire because he's what the villain would be in a particularly hamfisted communist cyberpunk novel, but he exists in real life

It's official. The stereotype about trans men is that we're all werewolves now. If you feel left out, don't fret; you just have to get bit by a transwolf to join the club.

I don't feel excluded by trans programmer catgirl stereotypes, but I [i]do[/i] feel excluded by laws that specifically discriminate against me, and stuff like being afraid to use changing rooms at the local rec center, or go outside without a binder on, so...

A friend suggested today that it's time for a manifesto and I agree. Another friend in another conversation mentioned that "free software" and "open source" are not relevant terms for what we need. I also agree.

It's time for something new. A new, community-centered ecosystem.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that the way forward for us is to build a dual-purpose Commons: one where our communities can freely partake and share and collaborate and learn and build each other up, while those who seek to profit on their own terms put cold hard cash down.

I'm entirely in favor of building an altruistic Commons where people aren't counting pennies of value at each other to make sure everyone got their exact right share and instead focusing on everyone's needs.

But fuck if a CTO is gonna tell me that's what Rails is doing.
