@plainionist You just pick one to act in the role of scrum master in additional to their other stuff. Just coordination of the essentials is all that is required in many cases.

Do teams of skilled software engineers even need Scrum Masters?

We have a pathway to citizenship. It’s called come here legally and apply for citizenship.

@dcolascione They do have a mesh product (U7 Mesh) but I have not used them. The wifi mesh backhaul still uses their BSSID (just halves # of SSID from 8 to 4).

@gweedoz I don't have wired backhaul. Ubiquiti's single BSSID magic trick requires one, right?

My new fast Asus router sometimes enters a degraded state in which it force-disassociates clients randomly and forwards packets only after >300ms delays. Rebooting the cluster fixes it, but takes forever and will invariably occur at the wrong time. I dug into the logs and found a likely buffer overflow in dhd.ko, which is binary-only. You can tell because the kernel init logs imply a table entry at offset 4108 in a 4096-byte page and because one of the internal table dumps, when the router is having its fit, just happens to have a protocol magic number and the router's own MAC where a connection status should be. The kernel module wasn't stripped or signed, so I disassembled it, found the init function, had AI (because I'm lazy) generate a binary patch to double the size of the kmalloc allocation for each DHD hardware-shared-memory-heap thing. Fixing the bound wouldn't have helped, I think, because it looks like the code read the table size from the hardware, which would have kept writing past the end no matter what the host kernel did. Easier to waste 40kB. I loaded the new module and restarted the network with a quaint "service restart_wireless". It all seems to work so far. Didn't even have to reboot.

@tagame I was already aware of what you pointed out and I didn't see any problem with it. There will always be people on the internet that choose to make noise, just ignore them by default and don't think about it again.

海外の人に生タマゴを食べないように助言したツイートは、炎上して消されたそうな。 身を案じてのことなのに、 「日本の卵だけ安全ってマウントとるな」みたいな話になっちゃったのか。 そうじゃなくて、 日本は卵を 「生でも食べる前提」で売ってるんだよ。 基本的に「加熱するだろうな」ってスタンスで売ってる国とは、衛生管理の基準が違うこともあるよ、ってだけ。 日本だと期限内に生で卵を食べて食中毒になったら大問題になる。 けど、国によっては「生で食べたあなたが悪い」ってなるかもしれないから。 マウントじゃなくて、 生で食べるのが普通かどうかだけの話なんだよ。

@vxunderground The EFF hasn't been relevant for over 20 years. Nobody will notice they left X.

I don't understand this take. The EFF is leaving X because, according to them, they dislike how content is "walled" within one organization, instead emphasizing the importance of something like Mastodon and the Fediverse where you are in more control of your data. While this makes sense on paper at first glance, it doesn't explain why the EFF continues to use TikTok, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, TikTok and BlueSky.

@BrianNiemeier New is not necessary, just focus on creating interesting characters, challenging situations, a little humor, exploration, adventure, in space. The last few attempts at new Trek (especially Academy) were absolute garbage.

Star Trek is a 60-year-old franchise. Maybe it's time to try something new.

@CynicalPublius Absurd argument. How about some journalists setup camp in his office and home office?

The rationale here is utterly insane. Judge Friedman is suggesting that setting conditions for access to certain Department of War facilities constitutes a First Amendment violation. So is the "press" entitled to just wander into the USSTRATCOM HQ and start copying down the nuclear codes? Moreover, who is "the press"? Everyone posting on X is "the press." Is it a First Amendment violation to deny all 100,000,000 American X posters unfettered access to the Pentagon? This judge should be impeached.

@iowahawkblog I'm a fan. But around 2015 they played at a free city concert in Houston (part of new years eve celebrations I think). Wow did they sound terrible.

IDGAF, this is one of the greatest bands ever to exist

@fandompulse "United" sounds like just more woke pandering. How about some actual exploration and adventure? Pathetic.

Star Trek: United, the Michael Sussman project with Scott Bakula reprising his role as Jonathan Archer, now has an IMDB page listing as "in development." Is this what Star Trek fans want?

@SawyerMerritt Except that very few people in the USA have any interest in buying a chinese car.

Toyota CEO on Chinese competition: "Unless things change, we will not survive. I want everyone to acknowledge this sense of crisis." Honda CEO on Chinese competition after recently visiting the country: "We have no chance against this." motor1.com/news/792130/ho…

@BecomingCritter Western women have very different ideas on what an attractive western woman is as well. Western guys usually don't agree with them at all.

The japanese women that the west finds gorgeous and the women japanese find gorgeous are completely different. Why is that?

@davepl1968 Coke Zero isn't terrible, but it isn't good either. Similar to Dr Pepper Zero. They taste ok, but the taste is missing something, just empty. I can drink two, maybe three, and somehow I stop there and toss the rest of the six pack.

I've not tried Coke Zero yet. I keep hearing about it. I have it in the fridge. My kids rave about it. It's just that every artificial sweetener I've ever tried tastes like medicine mixed with ass. So I want to believe. I want it to be true. And that's why I haven't tried it yet. Because expectations are the thief of joy. The longer I don't try it, the longer it might be true.

@ModernDayInves Broad diversification and low cost, what is not to like about index funds?

These comments are sad… People feel so behind that they think risky investments are the only answer to wealth. More millionaires have been made off index funds than individual stocks.

@bartosz You signed the agreements when you took ownership of the car and signed up for the service. You chose to disregard those agreements. Quite whining, nobody feels bad for you.

Imagine if Audi would do “we don’t like the new suspension/exhaust” you added so we disabled your climate control that you paid for. I paid for FSD, I put third party mod on a thing (car) that I own. Tesla doesn’t like it so now 8k€ spent on FSD (in EU it means traffic lights aware cruise control) was disabled. What’s next @elonmusk ? We don’t like you speeding, we took your Boost package? We don’t like the wrap you put on the car, auto park was disabled for your car. Can I get refund of the FSD now please @teslaeurope ? I don’t want to update the car, it’s not safety you are worried about, do I own the car or do I not? Where do I send my bank account for the 8k€ refund since you disabled it? The car thinks I don’t have the FSD anymore yet my bank account is 8k € out of pocket.

@RepMariaSalazar Many of us have read the bill. You are either dishonest, or stupid. Which is it?

There’s a fundamental misconception about what “amnesty” really means. Amnesty is looking the other way: no consequences, no accountability, just more chaos. That’s the system we’ve had for decades. The Dignity Act ends it with enforcement, accountability, real penalties, and ZERO tolerance for criminals. That’s not amnesty. That’s law and order!

@nickimoraa Of course they can, and you should not get worked up over it, just stop using it. Strong perfume (or cologne) is just as unpleasant as really bad body odor to many people.

Does your boss have the right to tell you that your perfume is too strong and it’s offensive to others in the office and you should stop using it ?

@Mappy6984 I like how he needs to wear a t-shirt with his name on it.

Time to hang it up

@Simon_Ingari You are not legally required to give any notice. Similarly they can fire you at any time and don’t need a reason to do so. Fair deal. Called “at will employment”

Employee sending in 14-day notice 1990s: - Receives send-off perks - Continues to work till last day - Full salary offered - Exit handled with dignity and respect 2026: - Logged out of system immediately - Security alert issued - Salary withheld for 'unknown' reasons - Locked out of office - Team warned to cut communication Why do companies require employees to submit a 14-day notice, but once they do, they are fired immediately or treated as unwanted!

To my Japanese bbq brothers, I would like to share with you The Salt Lick bbq in Driftwood Texas. The smoke the bbq low and slow in smokers like normal, but they finish the meat on this fire. Basting it liberally with their unique bbq sauce. A very touristy place, but fun to visit, and good bbq (especially the pork ribs).
