What about the two streets labelled "The Faster Way" - that meet at a cross-road... 
The 2 parallel instances of "N Google Dr" also make me think they're better at flogging ads providing search than civil planning..

Also, "Faster Way"and "Efficient Way" are different.

Impressive. Looks like that one is at least partially powered by the output of the wind turbines.

Yes I noticed the wind turbines too, but the location is also close to Germany so they can fallback on German power I think. Also there is a Norwegian supply cable that lands somewhere in the north of the Netherlands, coincidence ? don't think so

Four years ago, there was a news item that one of the European Data Centers of Google was struck by lightning[^].
Natural for lightning to strike the cloud, isn't it?

OK, I've never before worked in an environment where we did pull requests. Anyways...
Ah, the power!
Declined for reason of creating a side-effect to a simple registration function. The client can make two separate calls, dammit!
(And besides, creating this side-effect would lock us in to a particular implementation of the second call, making the system less flexible for future alternative approaches for the second call.)

I don't use them either, although it's possible with our local Gitea server. One of my young colleagues is trying to get us oldies to use it, but so far no luck

My pull requests get blocked all the time, really annoying...
"You have this string literal here, you should make it a constant."
"Add a unit test [for this trivial piece of code]."
"I can't find the specs for this change."
The reviewer has good points a lot of the time, but sometimes I disagree.
He's thorough though and overall our software is better because of it.
And of course I've blocked a few of my own as well 
And since I'm the admin of our DevOps environment I also bypass the process once in a while

It's been an interesting morning for all who have accounts with WellsFargo in the U.S. Their entire system (mobile app, ATMs, website, Debit,Credit cards) is down and has been for the last 6 hours. They haven't put out an official reason yet, but those who were able to get someone from WellsFargo stated that their data center in Minnesota had "burned down" with no backups. Apparently, the system also went down on Feb. 1st. I'm having a hard time believing that one of the worlds largest banks doesn't have a data recovery team and a system of switching to backup servers when something like this occurs. If you add the fact that this is the second time this week the system went down, I suspect that they may have been hacked... or even worse, they did a Windows update.

All the money that was originally allocated for creating a data center backup went to line the pocket of the crooked CEO.

maybe Feb 1 the original data center burned,
today the backup center dutifully replicated that same instruction.

If it weren't an institution as honest, honourable, and trustworthy as a bank, I'd assume that some shady business was going on, that the fire was designed to hide it.
But that couldn't possibly be the case, could it?

Personally, I don't believe there was any fire. The latest report is that smoke was detected in the server room, so... they shut down the whole bloody network!?!

What credit card?
You never had a credit card.

I have a hard time believing anybody is still doing business with that bank, after their history. If I had any accounts there, regardless of whether they had done to me any of the things documented so far, it/they would have been closed long ago.
