Friends, do you use mutation testing with your Java apps?
I want to write an article, but need understand the relevance first 🙃

Tangent Online bitched about the chess moves I used in "The Immortal Game", apparent not realising that I used the exact moves made (up until the point things get gruesome in story) by real masters (Topalov and Kasparov, 1999).
It's ranked as the #1 chess game of all time 🤣

Former foreign office minister says collusion between 'defenders of Israeli extremism' and senior Conservatives led to probe against him.
Former UK minister Alan Duncan has been cleared of allegations of antisemitism and has said that a Tory probe launched into him was an example of “underhand collusion” between “immoderate defenders of Israeli extremism” and senior Conservative figures.
Duncan, a former foreign office minister, announced his exoneration at a news conference in London on Tuesday organised by the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians.

We have a unique opportunity at this election, one which will never come again.
With tactical voting, we can finish the Tory party forever as a viable political force.
That huge prize is attainable if we work together.
The future of politics depends on you. Why? Read on...

Maven central is a shared resource. Hosted thanks to the generosity of @sonatype (though we do have disaster recovery plans if they cannot continue to host)
Be responsible. Use a repository manager people. Especially if you’re in the 1% of top consumers.

I appreciate Sonatype for hosting Maven Central (and getting customers through that), but we as an industry need to rethink centralized storages in general.
This is where non-profit foundations can help, btw.

WARNING: This one is more upsetting than some I post
It's the clearest possible demonstration of why prosecutors need to be more involved in the #SingleJusticeProcedure
ESPECIALLY when mitigation has been entered
@Labour @Conservatives are yet to reveal plans to fix the system

Forbidding a developer using or not paying for a paid tool that increases productivity is as stupid as prohibiting a carpenter from using a nail gun.
