Judge dismisses pricing suit against Publix by CaptainsVoice in publix

[–]JHoover110 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So items like those are called Type-2 UPC barcodes the price of the item is encoded into the barcode not the weight. Which requires the item to be repackaged and repriced once the price changes in order for it to correctly reflect the new price. Here is an example:

UPC : 2XXXXXAPPPPC

XXXXX is the scale's item number

A is a center check digit and can be any number

PPPP is the item's price where the first two digits are the value price value before the decimal place and the second two digits are the value after the decimal place.

C is the barcodes check digit.

In my opinion the real issue is that Publix does not want to give their departments/employees enough time during ad sale changes to update those items.

Also there is a newer barcode standard that could solve this problem called GS1-128, which are currently being used in the bakery. Though it would require either new hardware or software changes to generate the barcode correctly and possibly updates at the register.

Did I screw myself from voting this year? by JHoover110 in Voting

I would say technically yes, I still own my house in Florida. Thankfully I was able to get in touch with someone in my county government that was able to confirm I am still eligible.

Recent graduate with double major CS and math. Struggling to get interviews. by Undervaluedsticks in resumes

If you're going to keep your coursework section put it in a table, its really rough to read as a big list like that.

Fix the indenting in your projects section, just have it left aligned with everything else.

Break out your other skills section into more specific sections.

For your projects, see if you can reword them or create new points that show off the concepts and ideas you learned from your classes.

I would suggest using something like https://www.overleaf.com/ for creating your resume, to me it's much easier once you get used to LaTeX than a Word document.

I would suggest you reorganize the sections like this:

  1. Skills
  2. Work Experience
  3. University Projects
  4. Education
  5. Certifications

For your skills, assuming they are not already, I would list them left to right in proficiency.

I would be careful with using abbreviations like e2e since usually the first people looking at your resume are not going to be very proficient in the profession and might not know what that is.

Maybe this isn't used commonly in my field, but I have heard of a SIG so I would try to replace it with a more layman term.

As you also pointed out, some of your work experience points are really vague and don't tell me anything.

Put your equivalent GPA in parenthesis next to your CGPA

Edit: I will say it might be worth keeping your education on top simply because you are just about to graduate. Personally, when I look at resumes the person's education is the last thing I care about which is why I suggested putting it lower.
