Given the nature of this site, I think it's a fairly safe guess that a good portion of the user-base is or has turned 'Japanese'.

A woman who's been unable to get in touch with her husband will be allowed to serve him divorce papers over Facebook, a Manhattan judge has decided. The couple has agreed to split their assets and Facebook friends evenly down the middle.

Interesting.

Back in the late '80s, a friend of mine wanted to serve her husband with divorce papers... it took her 10 years to track him down.
So, it is interesting IF it is used as an exception, not the norm.

Why do we bother unit testing? A shortcut to donuts

Quote: Many year later, once testing became the new orthodoxy, I started noticing something new - code that was reasonably covered by unit tests, but which internally was a total mess.
How deep is covered ?[^]. And the target is to identify the mess as early as possible.That is the whole point.

In a How Computers Learn talk, Peter Norvig talked about how winning programming contests was a negative factor for performing well on the job. And high school programming teachers everywhere prepare a speech on correlation vs. causation.

If you're struggling to find elite, high-quality tech talent locally, perhaps you should consider knocking down geographic barriers and embracing remote work opportunities. "Gypsys, tramps and thieves! We'd hear it from the people of the town"

Is it ethical to block ads on your favorite website? Apologies in advance if AdBlock prevents you from reading this article

No worse than throwing out junk mail before you read it or visiting the bathroom during commercial breaks.
And if they're upset over wasting their money they can simply stop doing it; then we'll all be happy.

No, ads are theft of screen real-estate. And if we talk ethics, I'd question the ethical correctness of advertising in the first place.

I am somewhat amused at the idiocy of advertisers assuming my unwilling viewing of adverts has any positive contribution to their revenue.

Agree completely. Ads fall into two categories:
0) Those that interfere with what I'm trying to do. - These enrage me, and tend to get the companies featured on my boycott list.
1) Those that are non-intrusive enough that I'm able to ignore them subconsciously. Since I maintain my own block lists; these still generally load. If the site hosting them is able to suck a bit of money out of a stupid advertisers bank account by hosting them more power to them.
The former category includes both ads that throw themselves in my face, and giant clickbait containers at the bottom of pages that strangle web page load time. The latter are particularly bad for the sites hosting them; because if the content they have is even marginally good enough to bring me back I tend to start optimizing the page load by blocking everything that isn't article content from the top down: By the time I've gotten to the clickbait box at the bottom the site header, and related content sidebars that might increase my time on the site are both generally long gone.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
