I liked the theory, and have been disappointed with a few companies' implementation. Generally speaking they tried to focus on 100% accurate estimates, which proved hard given the maturity of the team.

One company did SAFE, which worked reasonably well. I loathed the quarterly PI day, but I guess it had value. After a year I felt monotony creep in. Retrospectives didn't yield that much improvement. This was broken through by an improvement kata.

Having said all that, I am currently burned out from my company trying to execute a project with changing scope and fixed non-negotiable deadline as a waterfall project. I look back favorably on most half-baked scrum practices of the past. Especially when an agile coach was present for long periods of time.

I only get ads when standing still.

Perhaps you are simply more aware of the warning signs?

Slightly related... I have once created a c++ templated class that encapsulates all SI units. Using the values of the different SI quantities, you can let the compiler perform all kinds of quantity interference or checking.

Thank you so much for sharing. This makes a lot of sense right now.

I can recommend https://vangoghexpo.com/ for those who love van gogh.

Can you provide a suggestion as to what to do instead?

I've had to do it, and always loathed it.

In my current job it's also a thing, and I try to be honest. That also means writing the hours I need to write hours (and other stuff, like checking the intranet for news).

In a previous job I had the situation where each project manager would approve my hours individually, and none of them were willing to accept any overhead. I was doing 5 projects at the same time. That lead to burnout on my part.

Now I have only one fulltime project and some side gigs (coaching a junior developer).

As far as I understand, the receive[1] call performs pattern matching on messages in the queue. If no match is found, the call blocks until any of the patterns match. If a match is found, the first match is returned.

Since you perform this pattern matching, this means that messages may not be processed in the order they were received.

I guess erlang is an example of keeping your flow linear, albeit at the cost of searching through the incoming event queue and thus reordering of events.

Isn't that the whole reason why it makes sense to iterate, and release early and often?

Would it make sense to broadcast vital information to "nearby" aircraft, so they can store and forward when something went wrong?

One very effective procrastination avoidance technique I recently came across was giving yourself a simple choice: do the next thing on your list or do absolutely nothing until you feel good enough to do that task. Seems to work wonders.

Then open source should be amazingly beautiful and simple?

You can, I recently did it.

Power on the Zero is connected to the pins, the power USB connector and the OTG USB connector. Afaik, there are no components in-between.

Many clones have two usb ports, with one being OTG capable. For example the mango pi mq.

Did this with a uugear mega4 ppps usb switch between two pi zero ws. One can be permanently on, drawing just 0.6watt. It can turn on the second pi zero and connect to it.

> I see this as one of my major flaws and try hard to mask how I feel.

It's not a flaw. You're learning. Don't judge the sapling as if it's a full grown tree. For me, acknowledging my "bad" feelings was the thing that helped me deal with them constructively the most.

Even better, talk about them with peers you feel safe with. Say "your comment brings up feelings of... In me." instead of "you make me feel...". With the right person, that's a doorway into mutual understanding and reframig the experience for yourself.

Everybody has these feelings, you'll find out.

The knack is in detachment from your own views.

Numbing to me implies not caring, while detachment from your views can be born from caring about improving.

If you want to improve, this likely involves shedding some convictions you hold too close.

Perhaps you want to google Joe Justice a bit. There are recent videos about him talking about the culture at Telsa[1].

A few years ago, before the rate limits on Google maps, I wrote a script that analyzed my commutes. Per week it produced a standard deviation of the travel time for every departure time. The result was a nice graph showing peaks of traffic. I dodged quite a few traffic jams using those graphs.

On gliders it's common to have buttons on top of the stick. There are <enter> and <escape> like buttons and a 4-way button emulating the arrow keys. Using these to navigate menus still demands a whole lot attention. It just isn't very predictable.

I was surprised that max q happened at a velocity well below mach 1. The falcon 9 rockets traveled around mach 1 when they passed max q if I remember correctly.

A Pi Zero can go down to 0.5W idle. The Pi Zero 2W should also be good, but is very hard to obtain right now.

Still, there's the UUGEAR Zero2Go board that you might use to step down from 12v to 5V:

How safe are LiFePo4 batteries these days? Can one use these in -20 to +60 degrees Celcius environments without a fire hazard?

I'm asking because I'm creating a similar setup to OP to control the climate in my glider's trailer.

As a European, I miss any mention of rail transport.

> are soon switching to 48V, to further reduce low-voltage copper wiring (copper being a 'medium-rare' metal)

In an interview by Munro[1] , Elon Musk previously mentioned the desire to switch to 48V together with the desire to use PoE. Combining data and power over the same wires.
