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.

This is kind of neat, but I am intensely irritated at software on github whose license is: pay us money before you use this (https://github.com/unidoc/unipdf/blob/master/LICENSE.md). There's nothing wrong with commercial software, but why put it on github?

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.

I think the first page of the commit history (https://github.com/golang/go/commits/master?after=f235275097...) is a little better

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!

How does this compare to https://plus.codes/? I know that people (maybe just one) on the google maps team came up with plus codes for similar use cases.

one could write an assembler - http://doc.cat-v.org/henry_spencer/amazing_awk_assembler/

I'd be okay with them all following his lead

the odds of truly randomly generated UUID's conflicting are .... really really low (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier#...). If you had a collision, then the odds are truly opposed to anyone else ever having that problem in the foreseeable future, so thanks for taking the hit for the rest of us!

Makes Stanislaw Lem seem even more predictive than usual (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_Master%27s_Voice_(novel))

Worth pointing out here is harvey (http://harvey-os.org). Which is a descendent of Plan 9 but with updates for toolchains & architecture.

The more relevant deadline is for Winnie the Pooh (first published in 1924). Pooh is worth several billion dollars per year to Disney, so don't be surprised if they try to change the copyright (again) in the next year.

I think you meant NCAA (not NAACP)

Mentioned at the end of the video is the [Magit kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1681258897/its-magit-th...) which is ending soon! Magit is a great piece of productivity improving software so please help make it even better.

I think it is worth noting that Sameer Ajmani is the manager for the Go team. While some people like to throw around strawman arguments about the Go team not liking / not seeing the point of generics, they do have first-hand experience that the difficulties from their decision to (at least so far) exclude generics from the language. And if you have a similar experience report; please share it. I think the team wants to get generics "right", but it's a difficult design problem (compiler complexity, compiler speed, binary size, ease of use, fitting in with the language, being simple enough) so feedback will help them understand the problem better.

Not in general, but I'm sure there are some that might.

that's it.

haven't seen [veracity](http://veracity-scm.com/) mentioned in a while! I always thought the idea of using JS as the built in scripting/templating language was ahead of its time.

Bradfitz (a member of the Go team) has said he would love to see OS / kernel level stuff done in rust and every thing above it in go.

It's been a while since I checked the numbers but Harvey Mudd alumni are the most likely to get terminal degrees of any school in the world, meaning this CS program will punch far above its weight as far as future professors/researchers go.
