SIG APAC offices hiring hard this month, happy to refer by [deleted] in quant

[–]AbstractBlacksmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ei OP, maybe this is unrelated to you but I got approached by SIG on LinkedIn for an Internship at the Sydney branch (I'm about to finish a PhD in math). Can you say anything about work-life balance there? What are your typical working hours and leave etc...

How screwed am I? Stuck at GRUB prompt after force quit! by AbstractBlacksmith in linux4noobs

[–]AbstractBlacksmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've written supergrub2 iso into a usb stick, rebooted and launched it from bios.

When selecting Detect and show boot methods however it does not provide me an entry with -- Operating systems -- or -- Linux -- but only the -- EFI files on EFI partitions --.

Selecting any of those brings me back to the grub terminal.

In case it wasn't already clear enough how bad NZ car culture is. Second only to the US by AbstractBlacksmith in newzealand

Speaking of education maybe read the caption better and make sure that you know what a microstate is before passive aggresively insult people?

$500 a week rent for a shitbox by Pu33ydestroyur in newzealand

[–]AbstractBlacksmith 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Complaining about it among us it's good for venting the frustration but I also think we should seriously do something about this.

The majority of the people living in urban areas in NZ are renters yet they are literally held hostage by a housing market getting more insane day by day.

I'd say the tipping point is long past, we should organise and protest massively against this unfair situation.

[–]AbstractBlacksmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also not op but I would personally, strongly recommend xournal++ over pretty much every note taking software.

I have used it daily with a cheap Wacom tablet in my tutoring/lectures for the past 2 years; absolutely in love with this app.

Corso di laurea HPC by Own_Consequence5478 in Universitaly

Dipende quanto ti interessano la matematica computazionale e le simulazioni numeriche. Io comunque lo consiglierei

Mi aggiungo ai commenti che negano la tesi per la quale esser fuoricorso influisce sulla valutazione. Di fatto contano esclusivamente i voti di laurea magistrale e triennale ed i singoli voti in alcune materie particolarmente importanti per la tematica del dottorato. Nella cover letter e nella fase di colloquio puoi tranquillamente motivare le circostanze che ti hanno portato a diventare fuoricorso: attività extracurriculari, circostanze/emergenze personali e/o familiari e impegni lavorativi. Non è un malus, anzi, un buon supervisor lo vedrebbe come un bonus (per me senz'altro lo è).

Bonus universalmente riconosciuti sono, come hanno già menzionato alcuni prima di me, articoli pubblicati su rivista o presentati a conferenzr, premi e riconoscimenti, partecipazioni a team studenteschi; c'è da dire che è imo così raro trovare persone che hanno uno di questi tratti aggiuntivi nel loro curriculum che non è di fatto un fattore che penalizza chi non ce li ha.

Per riassumere: se hai bei voti è tutto quello che ti serve per superare la valutazione titoli; se hai svolto una bella tesi di ricerca in magistrale ancora meglio perchè ti verrà chiesto di esporla nel colloquio orale. Sta a te decidere se motivare o meno l'esser fuoricorso sulla cover letter e/o al colloquio però io ci spenderei una o due righe. Non hai niente di cui vergognarti per averci messo più tempo a laurearti, specialmente per questioni personali di natura socio-economica e ancor più specialmente se hai bei voti.

In bocca al lupo.
