I'm a manager who (I think) does agile right, and will now defend it because I think it's brilliant (when done right). On standups: first, I rarely speak in standup; if some other manager uses it to micromanage, well, that's

If you want to see the removed article, it is (for now) still up here: https://docs.godotengine.org/ko/latest/tutorials/io/encrypti... Seems more whimsical than offensive to me, but YMMV.

Some of the existing board members tried to sell the .org registry to speculators for a quick buck. That seems worse.

Huh? How is this intimidation? It's not like spreading information to its viewers is something Fox was doing illegally or surreptitiously; it's their whole business. However many people they reached, I would think they'd

Downvoters, what am I missing? I'm not saying cops shouldn't be held accountable, I'm saying malpractice is a convoluted way to go about it. The default method (getting fired when you screw up) isn't really done effect

FYI tptacek has gone dozens of comments deep on this topic every time it has come up. I don't know why he picked this hill (although I believe he has said he dislikes Scott) but I do know he ain't budging.

Yes, this is like a projecteuler question collided with a short story.

> Dispersing a fine mist of micro plastics into the environment Huh? I don't see anything in the article to suggest this is happening...?

by ineptech 6y ago
hehehe, I knew someone would challenge that. I don't know the particulars, I am inferring that recycling plastic is better than dumping it in some way from the fact that it's more expensive yet people still do it. I did not mean

If you put $X in to AAPL, you can hedge against catastrophe by putting $X/10 in to an option to sell AAPL, which will limit your losses if the stock drops to 0 tomorrow. So in theory, they can be used sensibly. But in practice I think

Yes they did, read the thread. There are two views here, broadly, about canceling 'Merry Christmas': a) it's a popular view on the left b) it's not a popular view on the left, but some on the right have acted as if it is

So, you've heard (from the right) that this is widespread opinion on the left, but when you looked at what the left says, you only found fairly minor voices expounding a somewhat weaker version of that claim? That sounds exactly like

Try replacing "politically correct voices" with a proper noun. Who specifically is it that tried to cancel Christmas? And if you asked them if they are actually trying to cancel Christmas, would they say yes?
