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 wo…

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.

Wait until my pals Saul and Ronald team up!

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

AGGRESSIVE ADVERTISER

And French completed this merge by having both "lawyer" and "avocado" translate to "avocat".

It's from Boileau! Beautiful alexandrine verses: > Ce que l’on conçoit bien s’énonce clairement, > Et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément.

Caterina Fake, co-founder of Flickr, famously had issues with IT systems: Tim: There’re so many places we could start, but in the process of doing homework for this, I found mentio…

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 int…

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 …

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, wel…

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 betwee…

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 exc…

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 somet…

You're in a lot of trouble if your _hooker_ is feeding the scrum!
