Pretty much all new features from acquisition news are on azure (packages, codespaces etc).

Which is why outages usually match Azure outages.

Considering most of the new offerings are hosted on Azure, it makes sense they go down every time Azure does.

It's a common sight in northern France, not generally renowned for its sunny climate.

They could probably their staff what?

Looks like your sentence is incomplete.

But that is already how it works for quite a few white male engineers.

How many of us have had to work with "that guy" who interviews really well, but sucks at his job and coast for 6 months before people finally realise how rubbish at his job he is and he finally gets the boot. In more extreme cases they even get promoted over you and become your manager in spite of their incompetence.

Nice of you to assume that women and minorities are less qualified.

Especially in light of the numerous studies that show that people (men AND women) keep assuming on your technical skills solely based on genders.

Yeah that was quite annoying, to say the least.

Any and every group would be spammed to death by Brazilians until you gave up and left them one by one.

Surprised no one has been mentioning qwant.com yet.

The part that really hurt my non-american sensibilities is when the letter points out a cost of 12cts/kWh.

I wish my electricity was that cheap.

As for the main point itself, I can imagine the intent was to make sure supercharger station are actually available for someone on a long distance trip, but it is quite poorly worded.

Would you actually get 10 pages a day every day while you were on call though?

I actually did a similar thing as an ops guy (debugging systems as described in some questions) and really liked the concept. On the other hand I work on mathematical riddles for fun so maybe I'm the core target for those.

It doesn't replace face to face interviews but I can see it as a good example of "how would face this real life situation you would encounter if you got the job?"

To continue along your analogy, that would be akin to the local population saying "there's need to involve police forces, it's only the one guy" "Just because there's a violent criminal in town doesn't mean we have to do anything about it, we're on the whole nice people"

Instead of you know, assisting the police with their enquiries, teaching their kids it's not ok to slice open people, volunteering for search parties to find the victims, organising groups to walk kids to and from school, etc.

I've been using qwant with pretty good results lately.

Still a bit hit and miss but getting better every day.

That's what most white collar jobs are ("cadre").

They do come with a more favourable termination notice and retirement plan as well so it's not all bad.

Confirming we also saw a lot of lockup issues since 3.12 (with both ext4 and btrfs).
