Corrections:
- Missed opening bracket [ in the domain name part of the expression 6:36
- This particular regex is worst case quadratic, not exponential 8:30. The example right after w/ 1 million steps is exponential.
- The DFAs at 10:40 and 11:50 should have the starting states marked as end states as well to properly match empty strings
