You'll want to brush up on punctuation rules, the space before an exclamation mark is a dead giveaway of a French writer :) (Source: fellow en-GB-using-frenchperson)

It's honestly not hard either. Certainly doesn't require any face-to-face interaction or anything.

I've racked my brain trying to write it in a good enough approximation, but honestly the "eu" sound doesn't have a match in most English accents, and neither does the "r", so it wouldn't make much sense tr

Well if it's negative 48V the electricty flows out of your circuit and back to the grid, so you need to make it positive to have the electricity come in.

If it helps, I use the NERDTree plugin which gives a very decent file tree to vim.

As a native French speaker, I have to interject and push for the use of "utilise" as it's closer to our own "utiliser"!

The whole point of inheritance tax is to redistribute some of the accumulated family wealth across society. You think that's unfair? Grow up.

Is it that awful? Each option is nicely explained, and the documentation is exactly where you need it, when you need it. I personally found it extremely helpful during my first interactive rebase, and still give it a glance from time to tim

It's definitely news to me! Intuitively, I would have expected AWS to send back the EBS volume backing a powered-off machine into the Whatever Long-Term Storage Is Behind EBS, and therefore start-up time to be ~identical to a fresh sta

That's very interesting, as a Frenchman I assumed it came from "brutal", like "brutalité", as the raw concrete and abundance of right angles tends to make these buildings feel, well, aggressive (to me at least).

I'm not sure there is a consensus on ice baths at this stage? Some athletes swear by it, some say it's useless, and last I looked at it the science was ambivalent (somewhere between small to no effect, either positive or negative)

Fwiw this is how I use Loki most of the time. Pick an app label, pick a time period, look at raw logs. The LogQL for this ends up something like `{app="workload-foo"}`. Loki is excellent at that. Then if I know which pod I'll

Yeah but Prometheus has a web ui where you can run PromQL queries and it'll give you basic graphs back, which is handy for throwing a quick query at it before putting it into something more long-term like a Grafana dashboard or an aler

It is indeed used quite a lot in France, and it's great but... For extra confusion my parent's street starts with straight numbers (1, 2, 3...), _then_ switches to distance-based count! So that on one side of the road, we get hous

Service mesh. Istio for example injects an envoy sidecar to each pod, and manages everything "meshy" (routing, retries, mTLS, etc) via this sidecar. This is also how linkerd works, though they're using their own purpose-built

It seems to be exchange-specific, I assume the main reason for this article is: > For example, on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), if a security's price closed below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, that exchange would init

Nitpick, but I don't think this is necessarily correct - if the end client has _no_ UK presence, then the "old rules" apply for IR35, i.e. the contractor is responsible for determining their own status. If the end client has

From my adjacent experience (ultrarunning / multi-day races), after trying a bunch of different brands, I've settled on Drymax. By far the best blister resistance! They're really good at keeping feet, well, dry, which helps a
