But it's easier to parse HTML5 than it was any previous version of HTML, as there is now an actual specification which details the process exactly rather than relying on each browser's interpretation. It can't be that difficult given the number of working parsers and validators out there for HTML5.

Plus, HTML5 can already be written using XML syntax, aka XHTML5. And searching for xhtml5.xsd or xhtml5.rng gave me plenty of links to schemas for validating XML-syntax HTML5.

If you need to store validated documents, then you shouldn't be storing them in HTML format! Store them as XML documents with well-defined schemas (Relax NG of course!), and then use XSLT or possibly XQuery to turn them into HTML fragments for display.

You won't get them if your karma is too high or too low, or if you browse /. too often or too infrequently. Possibly also if you post often enough you won't get them either, there are a few different factors. I went years getting none, now I get 5 points every five or six days, and occasionally 15 points instead.

Engineers are also more likely to be Creationists than those in other careers requiring a degree.

Oddly enough quite a bit of the design PowerShell was inspired by Perl.

Yes, this is the case, and it's very obvious if you look at popular NPM modules - there are lots of ports or variants of Ruby libraries. Plus there's CoffeeScript, which I'm told has a Ruby-esque feel, but can be trivially used interchangeably with JS.

Go to Settings and Phone Update is about halfway down - you can check for any missing updates to the OS there. I think you need to be on Wi-Fi or plugged into the PC to work though.

Also below that in Settings the About page should be able to tell you what versions you have for the OS, firmware etc. I'm currently on OS v8.10.12393.890 :)

I have the same phone, and it sounds like it hasn't been updated to WP 8.1, which I think solves these issues. Or at least I don't have them on my phone.

It's a good summary of all the nonsense some people seem to believe. Once you take away the retractions, it's just more ranting about feminism and Anita Sarkeesian.

What the hell is wrong with the word "shutting"?

That's research from 130 years ago, and solely about rote memorisation. I'm talking about things such as this, and more general research into neuronal development.

You are very wrong. Additionally, being told you are smart leads to under-performance in children.

Nope, it's actually heavily influenced by Perl of all things, one of the guys who created it has also written a book on PS which has various sidebars about the design of the language.

No, I think it's more that these people have always been here, but the last couple of years has seen a) the flourishing of the disgusting "Men's Rights" movement, b) more talk about sexism in the tech industry, which has lead to c) more articles about the subject here, and thus more arguments about it. In almost 15 years here I don't think the demographic has changed very much at all - there's a wider age range and it's more international, but fundamentally it's the same sort of audience. The site just has more articles on topics where this sort of thing comes up.

The rampant sexism seen in a lot of these articles is pretty depressing though.

Well put, I do seem to have noticed a sort of creeping Calvinism in the way that victims of all kinds of types are labelled today.
