The calls to JavaScript functions that are ID-based would certainly not work. But there are many ways to access them that wouldn't. In regard to the selector type, does Homer have …

From what I see in the CSS files, you already prefixed (edit: by prefixed, I mean child selectors) everything with the character's name, which is where my confusion comes from. Eit…

Not really, the CSS might be organized, but overall it's pretty terrible. Classes are for multiple instances and IDs are for unique instances.

Since about 2004 I think? Anything before that, I think it was an AOL email address. If they can access it, they can have it.

Anytime I register anywhere, I do the following: 1. Use a new or willing-to-be-spammed email address. 2. Use a new phrase-based password. I write all of this information down on pi…

I use them all, but predominately Windows for my actual coding and then I deploy to a Debian development server that mimics my production settings with debugging enabled. I don't e…

Pretty sure I'll continue to put SSH on a non-standard port. I already monitor my systems and its their logs heavily, and this cuts down on 99% of SSH-related spam. Any attack that…

The WA state one is full of XSS and SQL injection vulnerabilities. It's quite beautiful.

It's clearly intended as a joke. It's a slideshow shown to people with technological backgrounds. Most people in computer-based work have seen poorly selected stock photos like the…

1. I learned in the 4th grade. I built my elementary school's static website and was allowed to use the computer lab instead of attending class, as my parents had already taught me…

I doubt you could come up with anything since you can only learn from other people, apparently. "Learning styles" is just another way of pronouncing "lazy".

If you could throw in some extra buzzwords and drop a few more names, it might be helpful in convincing me you're not an idiot.

You likely don't know how to read textbooks correctly. It's a legitimate problem in school systems around the world - most kids are taught from an early age to do exactly what the …

What else is classroom education if you're not sharing experience? You can study on your own, so putting stuff on the board from a book doesn't count. You can do practice problems …

Khan Academy isn't good and never will be. It fills the gap for new college students who didn't pay attention in class and never learned how to read a textbook. True classroom educ…

Everything is based on stored bits. It's how those bits are interpreted that matters. No banker should care that they store bits instead of physical cash. It simply doesn't matter.…

It's 5PM on a Wednesday. You need to do the laundry because you have a client meeting tomorrow, but you decide to use Prim. They have an average return time of one day, so you end …

I'm sure it'll make money since it's exploiting the lazy. The folding is a nice touch, but it's essentially useless since it puts unwanted creases and wrinkles in clothes. They are…

The universe is governed by math. There's a surprising amount of math in everything.

I know what the academic experience is like for the majority of students, it was me my first year of college. I realized that almost all teachers are dogshit after that and only at…

I'd say our posts are completely opposite in thinking. You think most texts and instructors aren't dipshits, I think they are. You think Calculus is hard to learn, I think it's eas…

You didn't offend me, I guess my sarcasm wasn't evident. I just find the voting system to be pointless. I also don't know how you thought I was being emotional. As for calculus, it…

I simply have to disagree. I've only met two teachers I didn't think were dipshits and that's over the course of a B.S. in bioengineering, a masters in CS, and a trip through an MD…

My differential equations professor had a 98% passing rate for that class over a 20-year span. He was an ex-Bell Labs and later Lockheed employee though, so he actually knew the ma…

Thanks for mentioning the ever-important votes! They mean so much to me. Many students find It difficult because they have bad teachers, bad textbooks, or both. Also, in the future…
