There is probably a good chance this was posted here before, since it's from 5 years ago, but, I'm a little slow and just found this today from a link on Twitter. Read the accepted answer for this question. Read the whole thing, it's brilliant! http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags[^] Any other great answers out there that people know of?
I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone - Bjarne Stroustrup My code has no bugs, it runs exactly as it was written.

Now we need a collection from CP
First someone needs to figure out how to make non-article content her visible over the long term. CP's forum archives have been invisible to Google for as long as I can remember (probably because performance is(was?) appalling); and I've never seen a QA when I Google something.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Alexander Yee's explanation of why processing a sorted array is faster[^] (well, in that case). Not because it has many upvotes or even because I learned something from it (I didn't), but because it's one of those things that no one seems to know about but are very important anyway, and that answer makes it accessible to those people.
Oh, I love that answer. Indeed, it's something kind of obscure and many people (like me) never suspected it, however it makes a tremendous impact on execution speed. And it's a very complicated issue explained in very simple words. Simply brilliant.

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013I have to admit, I started to look for the code JUST to see if I could optimize it :-)))) I think I have a character flaw!
