What are you talking about? I found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Australian_constitutional.... But this looks like political maneuvering between parties more than the queen being arbitrary (or using powers that normally can't be invoked.

What do you think is illegal? This posting refers to several positions (none of which say that men can't apply), but the posting itself is targeting women. If there was a posting at $ALUMNI school, would you say that was illegal?

So? I'd be more concerned if the companies engaged in questionable behavior regarding licenses - MIT is pretty easy to deal with.

if you're feeling adventurous, bitkeeper (https://bitkeeper.org) handles binaries well. It's no longer supported by a company, but it's open source.

NK Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy (each of which won a Hugo award) is phenomenal; it has more of a fantasy flavor, but plot/character-wise is amazing.

right now - my understanding is once the self-hosted compiler is done, LLVM will be optional.

Judging solely by Betteridge's law of Headlines, the answer should be "no", but maybe that's just referencing the "official" part.

But yes. It's a failure. Throw some more money at A-10s and F-22s (or upgraded versions).

I'm unsure if this is more your perceptions, the places that you've worked or a combination.

Why do you phrase it as "public accountability ritual"? I'm sensing my definition for accountability is different than yours. I typically think of my comment at a standup as (small) opportunity to answer "what have you been working on?" once instead of if every member came by and asked in a friendly manner. I wouldn't be bothered by them asking individually, and it saves me repeating the answer.

I've never heard the phrase "isn't living up to expectations" related to stand ups. Do you (or places you've worked) normally have those related? I'm not sure I understand.

Why do you think it's "in front of your team" as opposed to "with your team"?

I, and other people I've worked with, have never been bothered by saying "still working on the same hard task" for _weeks_. If anything, I usually hear encouraging comments; "it sucks that the task is so difficult", "anything I can do to help you out?", "I'm surprised you haven't gone crazy from that", etc.

The places I've worked at aren't even great at agile, but I've never seen the process directed towards some of the things you're saying.

I guess firefox 85 (or at least mine) doesn't like the .club tld? This keeps popping up as an attachment. works in chrome though.

it was, but it got converted to a normal purchase.

The funnier part is that they (Diageo, the owners of Guiness) discussed moving out of the original brewery and the people got so angry that Diageo realized they had to keep it open.

I'm really suspicious of any paper when 5 of the 6 citations are by the same authors.

http://rebble.io/ seems relevant for you and other like-minded persons.

Did anybody else read this backwards? That SML was doing something to support VSCode?

But more importantly, Hooray for SML, and people making the tooling easier!
