That pattern is also recommended in the book. Break down estimates into chunks of 5 hours or less.
With lots of smaller tasks, estimates tend to both be more accurate due to smaller scope, and some of the over/under inaccuracies will cancel out.
Read Software Estimation by Steve McConnell and recommend it to your manager:
The person doing the work the one best suited to estimate it.
Also, start tracking estimated vs budgeted time in some searchable system.
Next time this comes up, look up how long it actually took to complete a similar task instead of thoughts and prayers.
If boss won’t track historical budget vs actual, track it yourself.
Shaking my head my head while eating queso cheese, wearing a sombrero hat and drinking chai tea and while withdrawing money from an ATM machine.
Asahi Linux completely supports all the M1 Mini hardware.
But it does look the prices on these went back up because people use them for OpenClaw. 🙄
I run Asahi Fedora Linux on this hardware. It was a straightforward install and has been problem-free since.
M1 Mac Mini is quiet, fast, low power consumption and reasonably-priced used.
The log volume is dependent on which services are running and how they are tuned.
Alexa, what are some baby names to avoid today?
The high-res version would make a challenging 1000-piece puzzle.
I can’t tell if it’s a photo or masochistic hyper realism artwork.
So much detail!
I have a UPS that allows the server to survive an apocalypse of 15 minutes or less.
I agree it’s this, or the opposite: the stone is cool and the cat is hot. Either way, maximizing surface area for thermal transfer is smart.
Sometimes when I’m overheated on a summer run, I’ll find a brick or concrete wall in the shade and flatten myself against for a quick full-body thermal transfer.
Store the secrets on a Yubikey. They are unstealable then.
Yubico has their own GUI app or you can wrappers for their CLI tool to use something like dmenu, rofi or Fuzzel to pick one.
Ok, this prompted me to root-cause the issue. A bad cable between laptop and USB dock seems most likely. Hardware issue, not Linux!
Linux revoked my mic permissions in the middle of a call today, on Google Meet. Happened before on Zoom.
I have not root-caused it to see if there was flaky hardware or what.
The marketing mixes metaphors, talking about gardening, growing, curating… all part of sustainable process that includes plants dying.
It also uses words like forever and permanent.
Having content live forever is at odds with metaphors of the natural world, where things naturally die.
How does it handle helm features that are not valid compose features? Silent failure or loud warning?
Are they European?
To explain how HAproxy and competing tools solve this:
Two servers are prepared to be the single reverse proxy, but one is active. They constantly communicate with a “heartbeat”. When the active one fails to send a heartbeat, the secondary executes the steps to become the active primary. When the primary’s heart starts beating again, it becomes active again.
So there can be a few seconds of downtime, but the failover is automatic.
Best to stop eating all chicken to be sure.
