There are a lot of times when the specification says one thing but common implementations do another. Here are some especially common examples to watch out for. Attribute quotingAccording to the HTML specification, single-quoted attributes are perfectly valid; for example, these HTML fragments should be absolutely...

I grant myself the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking this world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that we can make...

But π day is a bit special to me. Or rather, this π day is special to me, because it’s the 10th anniversary of an...

It’s about time I finally write a timeline of how frustrating HRT has been over the years, because I’m tired of re-explaining it and just want something to point folks to whenever it comes up.Short version: I have historically been done extremely dirty by the healthcare system when it comes to HRT access. 2004:...

In every corner of my life right now I cannot seem to escape the increasing fervor of the ongoing debate regarding AI and machine learning in general, where on one side you have people who are completely anti-AI and others who are completely pro-AI, and any point made in opposition to either of these things is seen...
