Also, that user's last four (three of them in the last hour) submissions have all been similar "finding" reports from a Claude-generated mystery research group website. All which contain exclusively AI slop articles. Ugh.

Yeah Ctrl/Cmd+F works just fine on Firefox as well.

Yeah when I worked at Deloitte Consulting, we had similar training that said something to the effect of "don't put something in an email that wouldn't feel comfortable as a newspaper headline".

Wow, why do you think the communication was so off? (I don't know much about French) My guess would be that the intervewing manager was just translating English sentences directly into their French worded equivalent without actually fo

I can easily remember a few multi-hour AWS incidents from the last few years, since I've had to handle the resulting fires at my various employers at those times. Not sure how you missed these, or do they not count as "global outa

I tend to bounce around between Ubuntu Mono, Fira Code and Comic Mono. Comic Mono is not amongst the participants in this game, and my finalists were Ubuntu Mono and Fira Code, so I guess I'm pretty pleased that I've stayed consis
