How soon until Amazon buys one of each, prints them; ships them to a different warehouse, rips the pages out and scans them back in?

I host my personal site at home with a 15-min battery backup. After that, I accept the downtime. Rarely happens and I haven’t had a single complaint when it does.

Best to avoid eggs for now.

What even was that?

The spec looks reasonable. I could see it replacing XWayland as a more modern and secure alternative for X11 apps not yet ported to Wayland.

That trailer was more compelling in one minute than most two minute trailers.

I don’t usually downvote trailers but I want those two minutes back. 😂

Personal experience.

The first AI story I read: sure.

After a few more? I felt a certain sameness to them.

Best to stop eating all chicken to be sure.

Understood, I was complaining to the universe.

Fix the headline to say “evidence says”.

We’re not guessing. This isn’t he-said she-said. We know what makes streets safer because changes have already been tried and effects measured!

Storing private chats forever by design. What could go wrong.

That’s bananas.

Looks like he got arrested in the middle of a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon.

I know one recently laid off. AI wasn’t explicitly the reason but his next job seems unlikely to be copyediting.

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.
