Built with Microsoft's open source Roslyn compiler, Peachpie leverages .Net's metaprogramming technologies in PHP OK, I take it back. There can be bad pie
Yeah, I'm not going to count kidney pie. That doesn't count as pie.

Stuff like writing an HTTP server in JS and then writing JS utilities/services running on top of it?

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?

Fekkit, I'm going to implement MUMPS.Net then (Mumps[^]).
That'll teach the bar stewards.

OK, I'll add an even more competitive system: PHP_MUMPS. That will be the source of most WTFs ever.
|

I'll take that and raise you a pinch of JavaScript (especially the fact that variables are global by default, and that a misspelling will introduce a new global - even MUMPS got that right).

Computer scientists at Microsoft have developed a new artificial intelligence platform atop the hugely popular video game Minecraft. Dubbed AIX, the platform hooks into Minecraft and allows the AI to take control of a character and learn from its actions. Now we'll have bots mining our precious blocks

The bit which concerns me is ad-blockers that charge to appear on a white list.
That smacks of a protection racket to me.
Overall though, people may stop using ad-blockers when ads become less intrusive and stop delivering malware and inappropriate content to people's computers.

If you don't want ads replaced by something else, replace them by nothing. I use http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm which contains hosts file entries rerouted to a null address (so no 'real' network traffic); you can subscribe and it will send notifications when there are updates so you can update your own hosts file. This is not an Ad! There are probably many other similar services.

Privacy Badger is for ads. ABP with my own ruleset is for all the other crap various web sites vomit all over themselves.
None of ABPs flirting with treason with advertisers over acceptable ads matters to me because I'm not using their filter list.
That said, if you want to run an adblocker with 3rd party block lists, take a look at uBlock/uBlock Origin (one's a fork of the other; AFAIK there aren't any major functional differences between them). uBlock used to have a major memory usage advantage in FF, but FF fixed the issue sometime last year (sharing the internal representation of a css file across multiple tabs) so that's mostly a non-issue now. I've played with it a bit and in auto-pilot mode it seems to work well; but the options it gives to create your own filters is more limited and seems to not include things I generally used with ABP.

It is, if it's an OS or browser feature outside the end-user's control. It is not when the end-user consciously installs a blocker.
That said, if ads were served as static images off the 1st party host (and not via a 3rd party cookie-based host), there's no way an ad blocker can safely and consistently block an ad. Nor would the host file hack someone mentioned below have an effect.
Reddit has recently started showing ads that look like reddit threads. You won't know unless you look twice. Not sure how ethical that is. Slightly similar is gmail showing ads as conversations, but for some reason 99% of the time, they show relevant content, and I almost always click on it automatically.
