Looking at the candidates [1] and considering the needs of the TAG, these would be my top 3 recs for those voting:
1. Dan Clark: the TAG desperately needs folks with JS and UI expertise
2. @christianliebel We need people who believe the Web can be a viable alternative to proprietary native platforms, and he also seems to have the kind of energy the TAG needs.
3. @marcosc Marcos Caceres: his past TAG tenure and extensive standards experience make this a no brainer

Ben Folds released a Christmas album back in October: "Sleigher". Or as the description on the bandcamp page says:
"The result is not so much a Ben Folds Christmas record as it is a Ben Folds record set at Christmas..."
Anyway, if you're interested:

#formulae what a first race!!! Chaotic sure, which I don't normally like. But with the attack mode being a much bigger differentiator now I can't wait to see what strategies are going to emerge as the season goes.

- Engels on 'Social Murder' When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another, such injury that death results, we call that deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call this deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or the bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live - forces them ... to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence - knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual ...

In the past two days I have discovered that two senior developers at work didn't know that python type hinting does not affect runtime execution. Is this not common knowledge?
Just in case:
Python type hinting does NOT provide any runtime type guarantees!
Type hinting helps your IDE/linter/static checker interpret developer intent, and can be excellent documentation, but does absolutely nothing at runtime.

Whether or not some absolute simpering obsequious sack of shit at McDonald's turned in the UHC CEO shooter or not,
I'll just say this:
The die is cast. People see 68,000 UHC patients dying an unnatural and early death a year is certainly more abhorrent, depraved, and disgusting than one insider trading morally depraved CEO being gunned down on the street.
The news media on the other hand, will continue to prevaricate re: the simple fact that conditions less equal than 1789 France generally are a pre-revolutionary state.
And so, I say cheers to the Insurance Adjuster and a hearty FUCK YOU to all mainstream media outlets.
Y'all can lick my hairy Fournier's gangrene infested ballsack & choke on it you fucking bootlicking shitzippers.
