@allenholub How do you manage agile budgeting? It's reasonable for a stakeholder to say, "I want scope X. How much and how long?". At the start we're at the widest point of uncertainty. I don't think we can answer (esp. on a RFP), "with a team size of X our monthly burn rate is $Y. Give us 3 months and we can see where we land." Business still wants fixed cost and/or time, so scope is always what you have to wrangle. So contracts aren't written based on, "see where we land in x months." How do you manage this? Or better yet, are there any enlightening books/articles/blogs on this topic. It is something I struggle with daily.

Rust is the software industry's best attempt yet at distilling 70+ years of computer science into a single programming language

but Rust *has* a garbage collector, it’s called clippy

The GOP is in a bind. If Trump doesn’t win the nomination, he will likely run as a third party candidate.

You can’t ride the tiger, Republicans. It will always turn back and eat you.

Hi Mastodon,

Someone here said I wasn’t allowed to promote My YouTube channel here. Please prove them wrong by boosting this and following My YouTube channel. LOL. We’ve got funny cartoons! Plus we interviewed Universodon admin @supernovae !

imagining a terminal emulator with sticky-scrolling, so if a command's output would push the command itself off the top of the screen, that command gets pinned to the top of the screen instead

I like the Ship-Show-Ask mentality for PRs to transition to TBD. To commit code either push to main or raise a "ship" PR and merge it right away. To demo some code, raise a "show" PR, and merge it right away. Or if needed raise an "ask" PR and get reviews and approvals before merging. #coding #agile #PRs #DevOps #BestPractices

What we should all recognize from the debacle of #georgesantos lying his ass off yet still getting elected is that local journalism is gutted. This is the kind of story local media would have disclosed weeks before an election, but now our news is almost all national and syndicated so small fish are getting away with all manner of bullshit undetected. We should think of this one crooked politician as the proverbial tip of the iceberg and be concerned.

Great colors! Very beautiful!

America isn’t split evenly between Liberals and Conservatives. If it was, Conservatives wouldn’t need anti-majoritarian methods like voter suppression, gerrymandering, manipulating the Electoral College, and claiming elections are rigged.

The IRS budget has been reduced by roughly 20%. Meanwhile, the richest 1% have been able to evade as much as $163 billion a year in taxes. These things are directly connected.

Ignore the fear-mongering. Funding the IRS means finally going after wealthy Americans who dodge taxes.
