None of these

Exactly, maybe the person who wrote it thinks its a programming language, maybe machine language is defined as a language that can be interpreted by a machine.

Bro if someone called me a dipshit for a technicality in a contest where money is at stake? They are a dipshit. Being serious about the questions is the point.

Tell the moderator, let him ask production. You're not playing in a black box.

Thought exactly the same. I'd like to know how the legal side would look like. Let's say you say D. Could you go to court if they say it's wrong?

Next you're calling a word document a programming language (no, not VBA).

I would answer B even though D is correct. There is no technicality about. B is wrong.

And even D is a paradoxical non-answer.

(Just like my D 🥲)

It's basically gambling on the nerdiness of the question's writer. Do they think HTML is a programming language? Do they know that people think it's a programming language and trying to trap them? Do they know it's not a programming language but also know most people would think it is one and so are using the common, loose definition of a programming language in order not to trap people?

My brain would melt

I would loudly go on the record for my reasoning that Hypertext Markup Language is not Turing Complete, and therefore fails to be a programming language by the only academic and theoretical definition that matters.

They already are going to award me "lawyer up" money, so I'll come after them for damages later if B is the "right' answer.

Don’t worry. They interview you before these shows. If you’re at all tech savvy then they would never ask you this question. They want you to be stumped by the question for legitimate reasons, not to loudly protest that you’ve been cheated by a bad question.

How is Hyper Text Markup Language not a programming language? Now JavaScript and CSS are arcane rituals, but html is well behaved.

wait D was not the correct answer?

How To Meet Ladies.

There is a difference between “markup language” and “programming language”.

That's the etymological fallacy. The name itself doesn't determine the meaning. According to that logic, python isn't a programming language either but a snake

That’s why it should be “none of the above”. And if there’s a “all of the above”, it must come right before the “none of the above”.

It's clearly not the US version, so we should assume this is a translation error for the "none of these" instead of "none of the above" perhaps.

There is a running joke that some people falsely consider HTML a programming language which it is not. So it's D. I didn't watch the show but I assume that's it and the joke is that the audience's majority took alien language

stares at chatgpt all language is now machine language

Hyper Text Machine Language

This will be the next big thing. I’m going to write a Lemmy server in this.

I've never heard the term. Only machine code, which i interpret as 1/0. Assembly should be a very low level programing language?

Not really, it's a formatting language.

Yes, I'm fun at parties. In my head 😅

When I tell you it's gonna sound obvious but it's because you don't use it to write programs. It's a formatting tool more than anything.

HTML doesn’t have IF or loops. It’s just formatting text.

With a programming language you tell a computer what to do. With a markup language, which HTML is, you tell a computer what to show. Much different.

You wouldn't want to mix them up. The precise distinction is what the web makes so beautifully scalable.

Do you program a document in Word?

• macros excluded

Html does not contain instructions, just well ordered data. "schematics" if you may.
