W3schools is a piece of shit that shouldn't be used anyway. They publish inaccurate information and always have. Plus, we have mdn, a similar concept for a website just executed 1000% better.

I've just started learning to code. ._. I have no Idea yet what is good and what not. I just looked up an example for Boolean and W3 Schools was the first that came up.

Why is it so bad? Everything Ive read so far from there was pretty accurate. But it was mostly beginner Stuff tho.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Beginner stuff is good enough as far as I remember, just try not to rely on it too much in the long term (since MDN is also a good alternative)

[–] TrickDacy 14 points 10 months ago

Like I said, they have incorrect information. I can't recommend MDN enough, especially because they have browser compatibility info

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I don't think it's bad--it's impossible to make error-free material, and it's more error-free than not, for sure.

But other people are right: you'll "graduate" to MDN and not look at W3 Schools again.

Did you just commented just because you saw W3School and didn't even read the image ?

[–] TrickDacy -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That was hours ago and I lost context. However had I actually done that, justified.

You are just spreading toxicity on a funny post.

[–] TrickDacy -1 points 10 months ago

I'm spreading reality. What a drama queen

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

W3schools does tend to be more beginner friendly that MDN

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, programming is not fun

They still have some few good content. I didn't found an equivalent of the (inexhaustive) selector list of W3School on mdn.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Ive had to make websites on networks that block mdn but not w3schools for some reason

That lack of Omega 3 is already showing its effect.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Omega 2 is fine for most use cases and it’s useful for legacy support.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Why upgrade if nothing broke?

[–] platypus_plumba 1 points 10 months ago

Nobody tell this guy about omega v6

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Same goes for 5 people who saw this post (so far), apparently

Fish is for cats

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

B-b-but fish is so good!! I like it more than chicken or beef actually... Especially if it's in sushi (´┓`*)drool~

Yeah, now that you mention it :)

Seafood is great, as long as you live near a coast. I think that gives a better chance that that "fishy" smell and taste is not overwhelming, because if that's what you don't like about it, I'm pretty sure it mostly shouldn't be that way, I think it tends to be more mild the fresher they are. When in-land stores and restaurants import fish, it could be longer between catch and cooking than a coastal place.

Or you just don't like any seafood and nothing will change your mind, also valid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Seafood is meh if you didn't grow up eating it. Source: I grew up around Dallas (where fried catfish is as close as you usually get to fresh seafood) and I've lived in Seattle for >10 years without developing a taste for seafood.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Deep fried and fresh is okay. This includes fish, calamari rings, etc. Anything else is a hard no including oysters, prawns, non deep fried fish, lobsters, crabs, etc

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If you need to deep fry something to like it, you don't actually like it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Couldn't agree more 🤣 That's why I tell people I don't like fish even though I do technically eat it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

What if I like deep fried food?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Respectfully, they are.

Smoked fish is godlike
