I didn't read past the CSS.
As Kent already pointed out, CSS isn't a language and it isn't easy to learn.
I also feel sorry for anyone trying to learn it without first knowing HTML.
How is a 'language' that has a pre-requisite 'language' supposed to be easy to learn?

Yes, apart from what else you say, odd that this monstrosity is listed first!

I liked "Before the mid-2000s, websites only used HTML and CSS. Then JavaScript opened up new possibilities to create dynamic, engaging websites. "
By my reckoning, the mid 2000s is around 2500 (as the 2000s extend from 2000 to 2999) so only another 479 years to go before JS opens up new possibilities. Some of us were using JS in the late 1990s.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure even Microsoft was pushing "Dynamic HTML" (aka JavaScript) back in the 90s. The kids they get writing articles these days

The idea is to offer a digital "self-owned identity" to everyone that stores all information about them in a private and secure manner, and also give the owners complete control over how their data is utilized. Does it involve just sharing your account details with everyone else on the internet?

Or, give us everything and we will keep it safe. Yeah, that's the ticket.. Trust us. 
Let's just make it easier for identity thieves by making a one-stop shop with everything about me. 
Oh, to combat this, will they suggest putting this identity on a chip that must be inserted into my body!?! No thanks to all of it.

After launching in November, NASA will test its asteroid deflection technology in September 2022 to see how it impacts the motion of a near-Earth asteroid in space. * Bruce Willis not included

Ah, playing pool in space. I hope they have enough english on it. I would hate for it to be deflected in the wrong direction... You know, like toward Earth.

Me too, just to make sure they have agreed on what unit of measurement to use.

 For sure, but I was referring to this.

Has this movie been done? Is there one (yet) where an experiment to redirect an asteroid goes horribly wrong? 
|
|

Kind of - I kind of remember the movie Meteor[^] where they fire nukes at an incoming meteor, and it just breaks it up into multiple dangerous incomings.

Python overtakes Java and C for the first time in 20 years of a key language popularity index. So many of the people I don't know are using Python these days

The hacker claimed it was in response to recent furor over Twitch 'hate raids' directed toward minority gamers. What a horror! What a tragedy! What's a Twitch?
