As a freelancer, I often do not see the problem in the estimate or forecast as such, but in the willingness to accept an honest / realistic one. This of course has a direct impact on my sales position. To make a long story short: Most

Since PyCharm is abundant in this discussion, here are an alternative: I've been using the Wing IDE for several years. It sometimes chokes when I try to inspect larger numpy arrays as a whole, using the application-specific array visua

It becomes only more complicated with nested virtualization techniques. Especially if you develop close 'to the metal'. I'm in 3D and image processing software, often with GPU interface requirements involved. I can reconcile

Mmmh Docker: It's still a problem to run Docker and VMware Workstation peacefully in parallel on Windows. The one prefers Hyper-V, the other the opposite: https://www.kauffmann.nl/2019/03/04/how-to-instal

I'm doing this for my A4-sized tablet too. At times. I still have the option (and I'm using it) for the full tablet area. I don't have this for the postcard-sized scribblers.

To be fair, GIMP considers itself also an image processing software, not (or only partially) a painting program. At least, it emphasizes this aspect and it shows (yes it mentions also artistic usage). I'm using it this way as a tool (b

The leading brand is quite expensive (at least here in Germany), especially when it comes to reasonable sizes (A4/letter). I've been putting this off for years. Finally - a few months ago - I aquired something remarkable cheaper,

I do all my commiting and most trouble-free pull-/pushing with a GUI. When merging/rebasing becomes more non-trivial I'm beginning to resort to the CLI (and sometimes SmartGit or git-gui for hunks).
