It's the step between primary and secondary school that a lot of countries have, also known as intermediate school, junior high school, junior secondary school, or lower secondary school: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_school

Yeah it was a middle school thing in Finland too, at least in the 90's.
I did an exchange year in the US in my 2nd high school year, and I was honestly a bit surprised at how… well, simple it all was. I was a senior in the US and I'd learned just about everything they taught that wasn't specific to the US or the English language (and even some of those…) either in my 1st year in high school or in middle school.
Not all that cute though
Yeah, was the C++ dev just "pre-empting" the PHP devs by ordering all their beers for them so they don't do it one by one and sing the rest of the song?
I, uh… I don't get it. Somebody help an idiot out? I haven't had my morning cuppa yet so it might just be a lack of caffeine.
The amount of victim blaming in these comments is pretty weird. "Well duh nobody should answer that poll, everybody knows it's just a scam to get you signed up for spam".
Way to miss the point, folks.
Oh yeah it's obviously a shit idea, but that generally doesn't stop executives when they think there's money to be made – considering how eg. YouTube's trying to stop you from blocking ads and will apparently start showing ads when videos are paused, requiring attention seems like a logical next step to drive that CPM up to fund the CEO's new yacht
But they haven't released a TV with that feature yet though, and if I remember right that patent's fairly old – something like 10–15 years.
Wonder what's kept them from actually doing it. Maybe even Sony suits understood it'd be a fucking disaster from a marketing perspective?
Edit: the patent was filed in 2009
I'm actually somewhat surprised that "smart" TVs and phones don't already have attention-aware ads
Or a FAT meme you're too young to understand? I honestly can't remember if NTFS needs defragging or not, I haven't used Windows since Win7
Programming is also for nerds.
Therefore, tests are for programmers.

Exactly so!
While I'll definitely do what I can to try and influence the trajectory we're on I'm just one person with very little power, and I'm not exactly optimistic about how things are going and figure that at some point something like this meme will be the best I can do
