Q: How to check valid html structure in Java using regex

gentlejoI want to know the input html string is vaild or not. I researched various HTML parser. But anything doesn't have validating html method. Jsoup is almost same what I want. But it generates valid parsed html. Basically I want to check valid html structure as below. <html> <head>~</...

 
Woooo another regex question!
 
yessssssss

He can't find a validation method in existing parsers, so he decides to write his own.
 
I'm a little confused what that's actually validating, but I'll play along.
 
Heh.

@Knox This needs pinning, I'd say.

Wow, S&W on Ask Ubuntu. That's almost half my reps on that site from making edits
 
11:42 AM
Nice and thank you!

I don't think I've done anything other than vote on askubuntu

That's fine as well. :)

Q: Voting on the FAQ rewrite, round 2

sysadmin1138After a successful edit round, it is time to vote on the results. The text below is the edited text we've worked on for the past week. This will be open until UTC 0:00 Friday (3 days!) to gather votes. As before, this will need a 2/3rds majority (only counting upvotes) for approval. If we don't...

Can someone tell them before it's too late that they misspelled Stack Overflow and Super User?
 
@YiJiangsProble_ Ah, programmers and our inability to type spaces in the title of anything =)
(even when spaces belong, add clarity, or just generally make sense)
 
To be fair, the SOFU logo doesn't make the space look clear, and so many people type it without the space that you'd have thought the camalcased version is the correct one without looking at the official spelling
 
Very true. The only reason I even noticed was because I kept seeing people edit in that correction in questions and answers on Meta
 
Wait, there is actually a space in the logo?
 
@TheUnicornWhisperer Well, yes, technically speaking, eh...
 
2:05 PM
&nbsp; ?
 
askubuntu.com should be Ask Ubuntu, not AskUbuntu
 
Must be such a tiny gap that my eyes don't even observe it. :P
 
Ask Different suffers from the same problem
 
@jadarnel27 Nah, it's clearly a ZWSP
 
Y'all gotta help me out here. There can really only be one (maybe two?) funny posts on meta having to do with Jeff leaving. Anything that comes later will likely be closed as dupes of the first few.
 
2:17 PM
@cdeszaq Zero width spaces in images... oh god, there are spaces everywhere I look!
 
I'm trying to integrate the eeek meme along with the first stackoverflow post stackoverflow.com/questions/1/… but not coming up with something sufficiently funny.
Of course, the meme that started the whole site was 6-8 weeks, so it might be better to go that direction.
 
yes, 6-8 weeks is a good direction to go, IMO
 
@AdamDavis Can we mix in Welbog's conspiracy theory about Jeff?
 
(ie. is that really the time-scale before Jeff actually leaves?)
 
"Eeek! Where, oh where, did the Jeff Data go?"
No, he leaves ina few weeks.
 
2:19 PM
1st. March, isn't it?
 
Alhtough, saying it's 6-8 weeks, then having him "deliver" leaving early would actually be pretty funny.
 
@AdamDavis Precisely!
 
The first time he'll have missed a 6-8 weeks estimate early.
Hmmm...
@YiJiangsProble You'll have to remind me of welbogs conspiracy theory post - I don't recall the details.

Q: The Stack Overflow Conspiracy - don't tell Jeff I'm on to him

Welbo'clockJudging from the fact that there's been a lot of talk of venture capital being pumped into Stack Overflow lately, something hasn't been sitting well with me at all. Then I got to thinking. Ever think about Jeff's user ID? It's 1. Seems innocuous, right? Like maybe he was the first user or someth...

You do realise he's got his own tag on MSO :P
(Well, so does @RebeccaChernoff, but let's not go there)
 
oy...?
 
2:25 PM
It's @AdamDavis!

Q: We're all Rebecca Chernoff \o/

Yi Jiang's Proble_On this frabjous day, our community manager Rebecca Chernoff has graciously allowed all of us *1 to be her for one day, and one day only. And so, ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you: We're all Rebecca Chernoff \o/ A userscript dedicated to making all of you Rebecca Chernoffs. Reall...

 
@AidenBell A (belated) hello to you as well, Mr. Bell! Hope life has been treating you kindly enough.
 
Hmm. I'll ponder on this today. Maybe when I'm tired and hopped up on sugar tonight I'll have something funny, if no one beats me to the punch. I do think that 6-8 weeks is the way to go. I wish I knew whether Jeff made post #1 to stackoverflow or not, though...
 
2:43 PM
@AdamDavis Furthest it goes back, looks like it was this stackoverflow.com/posts/4/revisions
 
@AdamDavis - What about 6-8 Weeks ago, Jeff had some new kids?
@Incognito Good find, it's posted by a Jeff Sockpuppet, too.
 
Eggs McLaren :P But no, that's the oldest publicly visible question
The oldest question has post id 1
 
Although, reading the sequence of the first three posts is pretty funny.
I can't see the Q, but I can see the revision history.
 
> The "Joel Data" was an export of all the Joel On Software .NET discussions - we had originally imported it for our development "test" data, but decided to start fresh when we went into Stack Overflow's closed beta. In my giddiness, I asked a frivolous question - Jeff has never let me live it down :) I FEEL HIS WRATH EVEN NOW, IN THESE COMMENTS! – Jarrod Dixon jul 10 '9 at 10:13
 
Whoops @ "'9" :P
 
2:47 PM
Haha, why isn't it '09?
 
Oh, that isn't even our bug, fantastic.
 
It is, the comment on the post says '09
 
Yeah, but I call ToRelativeTimeMini()
 
Ah, a chat bug. Hehehe :P
 
Because we get the timestamp back from the API, I think. So chat's implementation is wrong. ;)
 
3:50 PM
Vote @Pekka for the new position of Stack Overflow Overlord?

A: If Jeff Atwood's moving on, who will be "in charge"?

Adam RackisI nominate Pekka as the new Stack Overflow overlord

My name is jadarnel27 Somethingorother and I approved this message.
 
Clearly Stack Exchange should form an anarcho-syndicalist commune.
 
4:23 PM
I would so introduce "General Reference"! and of course, social networking.
Although - that would probably get Jeff to rise from retirement and step back in charge to abandon both.
 
@PekkasOrganicRepFarm You have my vote =)

Just submitted another app. Time to get to class!
Nice. Apple's been listening to grumbling on the dev forums. They've posted a warning against "buying" top 25 ranking.

May I trouble some of you with a "reopen" vote:

Q: Django Static Files Development

user1178602This seems to be a source of much confusion judging by the amount of similar titles on the subject, however trying everything I could find on static files with the django development server I've almost given up hope! So my static files are served from C:/Users/Dan/seminarWebsite/static/, in whic...

Prematurely posted question got closed before OP could make it right.
 
Re-opened. Yay, the system works!
 
thanks :)
 
Ask Ubuntu Town hall chat is in about 2½ hours!
 
Oh yeah...

Music class. Ugh
 
@Moshe What kind of music class?
 
8:45 PM
@jadarnel27 The kind in which I know nothing. The kind that makes me think of MP3 analysis programs and wonder about related algorithms instead of meter and tempo.
 
@Moshe Haha, just curious. I was a music student before being a computer science student, and continue to play and write music regularly =)
 
9:07 PM
is in a sour mood
 
Uh oh

Oh, nice. :)
 
Then Apple later! (And AskUbuntu was earlier, unfortunately for anyone who missed it)

Q: Subscribe to others' questions

GokulnathI have been coming across many interesting questions on this site, for which I really like to know the answers; but, there is no way (at least I'm not aware of) to get notified when answers are posted to those questions.

That reminds me. . .how can I get to show up in maroon?
