I love how not being a heroin addict is counted as a "healthy habit". ๐Ÿ˜€

I'd ask why I'm only getting 5 minutes at the end to ask my questions.

It seems to me that your problem is that your definition of "freeze" seems to allow fixes for QA issues. So, not a freeze at all if the idea is to give QA a chance to have a clean testing framework on Wednesday.

I see two alternatives:

  • Make Tuesday a true freeze. Any defects found by QA drop that feature out of the Thursday release.

  • Stop "throwing features over the wall" to QA. Make the QA testers/process part of the development team/process. Features are considered "done" and ready for submission to production only once tested. Freeze on Thursday morning with only integration testing to be done before release.

In truth, both approaches yield the same results. If programmers have to get it right by Tuesday, then they'll need to work more closely with QA during development. Eventually, the Wednesday testing becomes little more than a rubber stamp and they'll push to move the freeze back to Wednesday.

Most importantly it seems that in this situation the "definition of done", has to be more than just "coding completed".

I dunno. The title was "Are there really no viable alternatives to PhotoShop on Linux?". I think it's fair to say, "There's GIMP". It's viable. People use it successfully and happily. 'Nuff said.

The last rPi I bought was all of $40. I thought it was a bargain for the specs.

I just installed it and I'm very impressed. The widgets are especially cool.

In the late 90's we had an old IBM XT tucked away in a corner of the computer room without a keyboard or monitor. It was serving as a "KarlBridge", which converted from TCP/IP to SNA. It allowed us to communicate with the parent company's AS400.

The software was on a floppy disk.

If I remember correctly, the OpenWRT website has a huge chart of router models and the versions/builds of OpenWRT that work with them. All so notes about features and performance on the various models.

It should be relatively easy to find a router model available in your market that works well with OpenWRT and has the features that you want.

Lemmy.world has a fitness community. It's probably your best bet right now.

Very often the copyright holders of the content have different distribution arrangements for different countries/regions. If you can get the content from some other region, then your local content provider isn't getting whatever fees/and revenue they would get from you.

That assumes he was eating at a maintenance level before. If he was significantly overweight, then it's likely that he was previously running a surplus. So a cut of 700 calories may only yield a net deficit of something less than that.

Also, the OP may also have a significant gain in muscle mass that's not very apparent in the mirror over 60 days. So it's very hard to figure out if something isn't adding up just from the info we've been given.

The only real way to know is to combine weight with a body fat measurement. That way you can calculate out lean mass and body fat mass and see progress.
