It's pedantic. Firefox parses the doctype from the document itself,[a] and no one is using Netscape anymore anyway. Any web engineer could learn all of this in an hour if need be. If they don't know it already it's because it

An invasion of Taiwan would require a months long military build up just like we've seen with this conflict. If China was preparing an invasion it would already be all over the news. The buildup would be visible even with the open sour

Realize that the risk of failure does not equal the risk of catastrophe. If your side project fails, in all likelihood you will still have your health, wealth, and sanity. "Catastrophizing" is a psychological term for the irration

Do some of your own hacking on hackthebox.com. It is shocking what can be done with only a week of security training by an already experienced programmer. It becomes clear that the typical software engineer doesn't give a single thou

The United States already has below average class sizes, and spends 37% more per student than the average. There is some evidence that large class sizes produce better results, and it would seem that whatever the US spends its education m

It only dies if we surround ourselves in walled gardens, and fail to build the platforms that incentivize open inquiry. We've traded so much for the convenience of not doing it ourselves. As long as one hyperlinked document remains at
