New @azure woes today: function fails after 1.7 minutes with non-descriptive 500
error, no trace id or any header. The request does not show up on the functions
App Service monitoring view, so it's no possible to debug.

Very cool to receive a kudo about my talk from last year at #EuroTestConf from
someone who got inspired to test on production infrastructure and discovered an
expired certificate!

@Ulrikama Thank you for creating this memory.
It's one of these rare talks that plant a small seed and grow to a powerful
thing. You have an intimate way of telling your story that I could have listened
to for hours.

It reduces a lot of friction during reviews if you as a company have a clear
salary ladder. Employees can even review their own progress regarding their next
step.

Replying to @Mandy_Kerr

@Mandy_Kerr When presented with obscure
demands like this, I will ask for them how we can measure after a given time
whether this change improved the situation. You can then measure the status quo,
deploy the change, and see if it has a noticable impact.

Testers! Please meet @MinteWod which just joined this website to connect with
testers like him who care about automation and exploratory testing! He lives in
a remote part of Sweden with limited physical access to a community, which is a
pity because I think he has much to share!

Replying to @thabicodes

@lala_tjo Yes, absolutely. It shows that you paid attention and are committed.
And they have shared their email, so this was definitely an open invite to
contact them. @1ts_me_cc

Replying to @thabicodes

@lala_tjo @1ts_me_cc Yes, it would be good to start with a sentence explaining
where you heard about this opportunity, and then go on further why you think
this is a great opportunity for you but also what you think you can contribute
to their business.

Reading this I wonder if #blockchain was used here to sell consultancy work, but
not for the benefit of the project.

Also they can't put ticket holder data on the blockchain, so I'm highly
sceptical to some of the claims for speed and cost savings made in the document.

Replying to @dc7590

@dc7590 Transparency of what and to which extend?

Transparency for EVERYONE, or just between trusted parties? Both can be achieved
with traditional approaches (API, OpenData), it's not an exclusive feature of
Blockchain.

Replying to @christina_haaa

@1ts_me_cc Yes, basically all tech companies located in Scandinavia have English
as a working language, and the local language is not a requirement. But it's
very much appreciated if you learn some Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, ... but for
Germans that is rather easy.

Replying to @coderbyheart

@1ts_me_cc You will find many job ads written in English, which is a clear sign,
but you will also often be able to apply without speaking it for tech roles.
Just ask, it's a very informal culture here.

Replying to @coderbyheart

@1ts_me_cc However, for non-tech roles the story is very different, good spoken
Norwegian is required, and that's hard because of strong accents. It typically
takes 3 years to be fluent enough for these jobs. But I guess this is not
relevant for you.

Replying to @TwilioHelp

@TwilioHelp Yes, that's what I figured. Have
users provide their email addresses, and I will set up a webhook receiver which
checks their consumption horizon (and previous notification state) to decide
whether to send them a notification.

Replying to @coderbyheart

@RealIvanSanchez
@NordicTweets AFAIR the decision to send
NMEA dates two years back when we were sending SIMULATED data from the device,
not using the GPS, so there was no raw GPS data to begin with. In presence of
higher priorities and simplicity in the SDK it was kept as is when using the
real GPS sensor.

TIL while working on resolving / mapping cellular network cells: #china assigns
dynamic, ephemeral ids to mobile network cells.

So not much luck with doing geolocation based on the network there.

Replying to @dc7590

@dc7590 Well, it limits the ability for
third-parties to track your device's location, but the main reason is IMHO that
China want's to be able to make money of their data.

Replying to @kriscorbus

@kriscorbus I forgot about the Germans :-)

No, you are right. This is not an absolutism, but I'd say for many the
underlying need they solve even with a status symbol is individual freedom to
drive when and where they want.

It's green again. Cool story: I need west to run west init then in order to
build a zephyr project, installing the requirements.txt will downgrade west, so
I need to update it again.
