@TobiX yeah, autodetection has been a challenge, but so far it's working pretty well for me, do let me know if you find problems and ideas of how to fix those ;)
@zhenech right, but i guess i just don't worry about scanning anymore. i actually own a flatbed scanner but never use it, it's just so much easier to snap a picture with my phone nowadays: it's sync'd automatically to my laptop with syncthing and i typically need to do postprocessing anyways, even with scanned stuff, so it's not much work to straighten things one from the phone. at least not enough that it warrants an extra device taking up space forever.
i know people might be hesitant in sending their resume on a third-party platform, talk to me directly if that's a concern, we can either track you separately or add you manually.
also absolutely let me know if you had trouble submitting your application, we're hopefully going to start contacting people for interviews next week or so.
my focus on this hire is to find some skilled person who will help diversify our team, and so far we've had a lot of white dudes apply, so if you've been hesitant because you lack the self-confidence, skill set, or anything else, still give it a shot, and make sure you give us a good reason to hire you in your cover letter :) even if you don't quite fit all requirements, i typically at least read the resume and cover letter
@holsta that is good feedback! i must admit that writing job posting is not one of my core skills, and that one could definitely have been better. i thought of writing a blog post describing part of our infrastructure, but canceled that because we were getting too many candidates already https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/41553
i must shamefully admit we didn't set an actual time for the deadline, so for now assume this is "everywhere on earth", that is, once it's been Thursday everywhere, which is 2024-03-21 12:00UTC or 05:00 US/Pacific, 08:00 US/Eastern, 13:00 Europe/Paris, 20:00 Asia/Hong_Kong... sorry for the confusion
@danluu great article! i'm curious about the speedtest appendix, i know about Netflix's fast.com, but what is "Okta"? Or did you mean Ookla aka speedtest.net?
