Given a film, an incomplete quotation from the film, and multiple-choice completions for the quotation, which completion is from the film?

Film: RoboCop
Question: Come quietly or there will be ______.
Possible answers: fisticuffs, a strongly worded letter, trouble, an altercation
Best answer: trouble

Letterboxd poses these questions as captchas for their sign-up flow.

This solution makes unauthenticated requests to Google's Ajax Search service, which is deprecated and throttled, so a real attack would require a different method of scoring results (like a paid API account, a different search engine, or a botnet).

As a Java developer, I want to be able to inject configuration properties into my application as simply
and easily as possible. I want these properties to be different depending on which environment (prod
vs. stage vs. dev) the system is running in. I don't want to generate separate, non-portable build
artifacts for each environment, because they will get confused. I don't want to redefine property values
that are the same across different environments (dev should inherit and override prod, not duplicate
prod). I want the default environment to be prod, so any operations person can be completely oblivious to
this system and still get the correct behavior.

In this example, a servlet application connects to a Mongo database. We want the database hostname to be
different depending on the environment; on prod, Mongo is hosted locally, but in dev, Mongo is on a VM
