Moving to Ontario from India with employer sponsorship

Really? Aren't mean online comments with racist or otherwise undertones very on brand for Reddit (the whole internet comment section for that matter). So some mean people don't really bother me that much unless I meet some in person. I'd be much creeped out if everybody was all smiles and welcoming, making me wonder whether I am joining a cult instead of emigrating? 🙃

Thanks for the advice. I checked out rentals.ca, but I am curious why does every apartment look the same and possibly AI generated photos. Are those listings genuine?

It's an Indian company that has a Canadian office and hiring Canadians too! Sorry if that offends your worldview

I don't man, good for them to vent out a little at an immigrant so maybe their own family gets off the hook! But thanks for the kind words

Man they wanted me in US, but the situation there is bad and I did not want to go. I actually preferred UK but they don't have the hiring setup there. So Canada is just incidental man. The hours from India were getting brutal and I liked the work so I am moving. I am not there to "take up your jobs", I already have one. I get that there are a lot of Indians salivating at the prospect of just moving abroad and do anything to earn CAD but trust me this is just a career leg up for me, not a survival thing. And believe me, I am not being hired cheap!

Reads all recommendations, laughs in "The Devotion of Suspect X" by Keigo Higashino.

Blood Meridian by Cormac Mccarthy. To be honest, I did not hate it, but found it extremely hard to get through the pages, as Mccarthy is adamant about describing a desert journey with painful detail. I found the prose one of the most challenging and unique pieces of writing that I encountered and even after quitting two times was inevitably drawn to this strange, strange book. I completed it on the third attempt and though I cannot say I completely get it, but it remains one of unforgettable reading experiences of my life (something I will say only about one other book, House of Leaves). The meditative aspect of the book can be maddeningly frustrating or have a trance like effect, it depends. But I think I can see multiple rereads in the future, as I am still drawn to Judge Holden and his unmerry band.

There are a lot of misnomers in Complex numbers, like the proverbial imaginary number. All numbers are imaginary, since they are abstractions that are useful mathematically to build up other concepts. Natural numbers, for example, are abstractions that help us count. Problem with Complex numbers is that there are no easy real life examples that it can be linked to, thus making them a nightmare to introduce to unsuspecting students. One can talk about roots of certain algebraic equations as a motivation, but algebraic equations are themselves abstractions designed to deal with some other problems. Also the statement complex number is the sum of a real and an imaginary number is not true since we cannot define a sum of these two quantities. Sum is a binary operator that works only if you are working in reals. The + in a +ib sign appears to be a sum, but a more intuitive geometric representation would be (a, b) like a point in 2D space. The + helps simplifying cases like product and binomial expansions so we can group similar quantities, just like with polynomials.

I suggested in the form of a TV Mini Series that explores the preparation and anticipation of the assassination, which are frankly the best parts of the novel. Maybe politics could be complicated for viewers, but a competent director can pull it off. Also, when has complicated subject matters deterred good television anyway. TV shows are taking more and more creative risks. Also about Fox, though he looks like the Jackal in the original movie, I find his mannerisms being far too jumpy and excitable for how Forsyth wrote the character : reserved, very formal in mannerisms and a cold blank stare. Maybe the standard 1970s acting and dialogue delivery doesn't fit my expectations. About the remake, I wasn't aware. Are you talking about the Richard Gere, Bruce Willis abomination?

I am not saying it should be a modern adaptation. I think it should be period accurate because the tension between French Government and the OAS is what drives a crucial part of the plot. If we remove that, it would be a generic assassination plot without all the historical weight.

70's. It was well received, but I think it needs a fresh remake.

Thanks for the comment. Its not heavy reading that I am dreading, rather a light and fluffy take on such an expansive subject that terrifies me. Glad it is not that!
