...so that anything that contains an emoticon in the subject line gets automatically trashed - period.
That would get rid of most of the junk that still ends up in my Hotmail account these days.
I don't know why the spammers have adopted this lately...they just have, it seems. Nobody I care for includes an emoticon in a subject line.

...I read code and, well, that's it, I see the code I read.
I just had the bizarre experience of reading some code and realizing, wow, someone actually typed this, character by character, with thought about why they were writing this code.
A somewhat disturbing experience, as now I can't stop.
The code, BTW, that triggered this experience was LookAheadEnumerator: Implement Backtracking in Your Parsers[^]

Not so disturbing; you're achieving enlightenment.

Good advice. Except this is the H&S info for ... A Microsoft Surface ... Just how big are America children's mouths?

I'd be more worried on the implication that small parts (regularly?) fall out of surfaces.

I'd be amazed - the biggest hole on it is the USB3 socket ...

There's not enough may's.
This device may contain small parts that may be a choking hazard to children who may be under 3 years. You may want to keep small parts away from people who may be children...
...may you be silly enough to buy a Microsoft Surface, let alone have children...
...whom you may have allowed to play with the surface.

I'm quite surprised with it - at full price it's an expensive option but mine was second hand - after the XBox 360 debacle I wasn't expecting any MS hardware to be any good, but it's surprisingly solid and works really well with Win10. A lot more "together" than my WookieTab was, and with a much more responsive digitiser.

Don't all these devices come with a pen?

No, you have to pay extra for that! Give away profits? Never!

Well, mine did, but that was a first-gen unit.

By the time they got around to gen 2, all the free pens had probably been eaten.

Our grandson was around 4 when he got hold of an old (disused) computer keyboard, and without anyone noticing started prying loose the keys, re-inserting them in random places. Using that keyboard would have been quite a challenge afterwards! But the point is that he could have choked on one of the keys.

In 2020 I will be leaving the computer vision industry... and joining the coffee making industry.
Been in the old job for 15 years - overly time for a change, methinks.
It might be an interesting commute though - Aylesbury to High Wycombe. Oh well, see how it goes - the job certainly looks worth it.

A Project Manager of mine used to do Aylesbury to Alton, Hampshire daily and never complained about it. Mind you, it was a company car and fuel, so it was cheaper than moving house ...
