0xFFC··on Hiring Without Whiteboards
Completely valid point and shows my shortcoming. I hope I will improve it. But with COVID19 and danger of going homeless, it has become hard for me to manage it all. But you are completely right.
0xFFC··on Hiring Without Whiteboards
I really apricate your feedback. Just one thing you should take into consideration, that is, as ESL I am not going to put that much effort on writing comments on HN to check for every grammatical error. I simply don't have that much time and energy.

I do understand what you say. But that is not the case sadly.

0xFFC··on Hiring Without Whiteboards
What is that supposed to mean?
0xFFC··on Hiring Without Whiteboards
I am going to kill myself (exaggeration). I have maybe one of the best cv's (I am not saying that, it is feedback from industry) for last year student focused on low-level programming. But I cannot bypass recruiters. Why? because none of them even heard Boost.Beast or anything on my cv. Or any C++ thing I have done as project or my publication. They literally do bunch of find/search on the pdf. And because of that I am unable to get any internship, particularly now which there is no meet up or in person networking.

P.S. I used to have extremely successful in person networking before COVID19.

0xFFC··on LinkedIn to cut 960 jobs worldwide
Yeap. One of those fake job ads will respond to them applying.
0xFFC··on TSMC plans to halt chip supplies to Huawei in 2 months
Okey, why they don’t manufacture Kirin in HiSilicon then?
0xFFC··on TSMC plans to halt chip supplies to Huawei in 2 months
Excuse my ignorance, why Huawei just does not ditch TSMC (snapdragons) and only improve/use HiSilicon Kirin?
0xFFC··on IBM job ad calls for 12 years’ experience with Kubernetes – it is six years old
Thanks for your thorough explanation. Can you point to me what should I look at when I want to spot an actual job from fake one?
0xFFC··on The global fertility rate is falling
RIP J. D. Unwin.
0xFFC··on IBM looking for 12 years’ experience in Kubernetes administration
You clearly has not been on job hunt :)
0xFFC··on IBM job ad calls for 12 years’ experience with Kubernetes – it is six years old
Your point about grammar is correct. But you have to take to the account I am not going to proof read a comment. I just don’t have that much time. But I totally get your point. When I am applying to job I at my best.
0xFFC··on IBM job ad calls for 12 years’ experience with Kubernetes – it is six years old
Maybe you are right. But I don’t want to admit it. But I would not call someone with two publications in MICRO and a lot of coding experience (with demonstrably coding skills) and MSc from top tier cs school in Canada a lazy millennial.
0xFFC··on IBM job ad calls for 12 years’ experience with Kubernetes – it is six years old
Right now I finishing my MSc studies in Canada and I am at job hunt with pretty solid background.

It is unbelievable. It seems all the ads are literally lie. Nobody answers any email. Nobody even invites to any interview. I am starting to think all the ads are lie to import foreign workers.

P.S. I don’t know why my parent comments got negative vote. But I totally would vouch for his/her estimation.

0xFFC··on Linux founder tells Intel to stop inventing magic instructions and fix problems
Torvalds clearly does not understand the brutality of business. Intel does not care at all about customers it have at the moment. Because they have them by the balls. After many years of struggle only Apple (with its unlimited resource) was able to switch to ARM. So they don’t care.

They only care about long term market, which is HPC and ML workloads. Because Nvidia is destroying anybody in that market. Look at their stock.

I’ve got a news for Torvalds, it going to get bad for Intel.

0xFFC··on ICE changes exemptions for foreign students taking online courses in Fall 2020
Sadly I made that decision few years ago and I regret it. I came into Canada, and from what I see, industry and research is not even close to USA.
0xFFC··on Trump suspends H1B, H4 visas till year end
enough
0xFFC··on Trump suspends H1B, H4 visas till year end
I would not call people panicking “fun”.
0xFFC··on Trump suspends H1B, H4 visas till year end
Yeap. He/she did miss the point current population does include immigrants.

With those fertility rate I would expect be around 1.2,1.3 for us which far far below replacement rate (let alone population growth).

0xFFC··on Trump suspends H1B, H4 visas till year end
Wrong. Majority didn’t vote for his opponent, which directly means voting for him!
0xFFC··on Neil Armstrong's reply to a Moon landing skeptic
Thank you. Finally a sane comment, while other people only bashing the skeptics. I am not saying he is right or wrong, I am saying this are complex and we should not dismiss any theories.
0xFFC··on CUDA on Windows Subsystem for Linux 2
Thank you so much for the through explanation.

Can you explain about paravirtualization?

0xFFC··on Forced social isolation causes neural craving similar to hunger
> You meanwhile have provided none.

When I say you cherrypick, I am talking about this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/g4tqvk/dutch_antib...

And so, so mare which I don’t have time to find one by one right now. Like the study from Finland, or other places.

I don’t have anything to add to this discussion, since this clearly shows you are incapable of research. One other point is there is non negligible amount of people who does not develop antibodies therefore they are not detected in serological tests. I would expect IFR go down.

(You could have find in other publications too:

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.13.20101253v...

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.09.20033357v...

The only required skill required is googling and having open mind.)

“ Iceland, (1st May) reports ten deaths in 1798 patients, CFR. 0.56%. If we assumed 1% of the population (364,000) is infected, then the corresponding IFR would be 10/3640 = 0.3%. Iceland’s test and quarantine measures may have shielded the elderly group, and deaths may still go up as they lag infection by about two weeks.

Iceland’s higher rates of testing, the smaller population, and their ability to ascertain all those with Sars-CoV-2 means they can obtain. an accurate estimate of the CFR and the IFR during the pandemic (most countries will only be able to do this after the pandemic).

Current data from Iceland suggests their IFR is somewhere between 0.3% and 0.56%.” -CEBM

P.S. FYI Iceland has done more test than anybody I think (ratiowise).

I have a suggestion for you: READ MORE!

0xFFC··on Forced social isolation causes neural craving similar to hunger
Funny how you cherry picking those.

confirmation bias. Look at the other publications.

0xFFC··on Forced social isolation causes neural craving similar to hunger
The data you are putting out there is completely wrong.

You can check this subreddit for publications: https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/

All most all the publications from the past 2 months show an IFR if 0.1-0.6 or at most 0.8%.

0xFFC··on Forced social isolation causes neural craving similar to hunger
Yes. Those restrictions were from the time we were thinking the virus is more deadly than this (1-2% IFR).

Now with more publications, data suggests an IFR of 0.1-0.6%. Which is pretty low and does not worth crashing the economy.

This does not mean vulnerable people has to pay the price no. It is trade off. We have to reopen and go back to normal, while helping vulnerable people.

Even some paper suggest far more infections than we thought.

0xFFC··on Huawei builds up 2-year reserve of 'most important' US chips
Excuse my ignorance, why Huawei just does not ditch snapdragon and only improve/use HiSilicon Kirin?
0xFFC··on Huawei builds up 2-year reserve of 'most important' US chips
As a foreigner this completely makes sense to me. Left and right, us tries very hard to stop other countries development. That is what make us extremely bad actor in the eyes of people.
0xFFC··on Huawei builds up 2-year reserve of 'most important' US chips
Genuinely, can you elaborate a little bit about this? I am so curious.
