And 8 in 10 Americans think HTML is a programming language.

And 5 in 10 Americans think you can parse it with regular expressions.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can parse anything with regex, if you’re willing to give up your soul for it.

I will die on the hill that HTML should be treated like a programming language.

[–] extant@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The hyper text markup language programming language?

[–] Molten_Moron@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago

I mean, technically it’s the other 2 out of 10 that are wrong…🙃

HTML, the programming language, is a practical, turing-complete[1], stack-based programming language based on HTML, the markup language. It uses elements defined in HTML, the markup language, in order to do computations.

I disagree. USB is superior.
If you are talking about physical size however, then yeah. USA is bigger than a single USB.

[–] xilophor@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which is larger though, USA or all the USBs in the world?

It's cool. Those with HTML are likely never to have sex anyway.

73% of numerical statistics go unverified

[–] backhdlp@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If you put a decimal in your statistic, it becomes 82.6% more believable.

Oh I get it, it’s programmer humor because HTML was mentioned.

[–] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought it was because STDS were?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think most programmers are safe from STDs.
