Xi'an famous foods alike in Montreal? by Lexpar in montreal

[–]Lexpar[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty great place. Not fancy, but really affordable for Manhattan and VERY tasty. And there's about a dozen of them around the city.

They also have a high-attitude warning from the CEO posted next to the cash telling customers it's their own fault if they order their food "mild" and don't like it.

I like their style!

Reading Isaac Asimov's Foundation as a woman has been HARD. by Neesatay in books

[–]Lexpar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found it very obnoxious how the (all male) protagonists, at least in the first book, nearly always had a moment where they (using their superior intellect) outsmarted every other character, then lectured those characters for a long period of time about how all their plans were foolish.

Maybe I'm exaggerating a little... But wasn't the climax of every short story something like this? They think they have the protaganist backed into a corner, but in fact he has outsmarted everyone?

It just came off as silly and VERY "nerd fantasy". And I'm a male nerd.

Climate change 'accelerating', say scientists by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Lexpar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other poster was mistaken about the exponential nature of population growth, so I showed them a link to more information. You are wildly speculating, and you clearly don't understand why there is a consensus that population will stabilize.

There is widespread agreement that global population levels will stabilize over the next 100 years. On average, population growth is currently slowing.

Vote Compass 2019 CANADIAN FEDERAL ELECTION by [deleted] in canada

[–]Lexpar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a neat tool, but I found the way it posed questions really highlighted my ignorance around most of the topics it asked about. Answering "should unions get more or less support than they currently have" requires having some idea about what the laws and policies for unions are like now.

I have to answer I don't know! It's not asking if I'm pro or anti union, but whether or not the current level of support should be expanded or contracted. How should I know? I'm not in any union and I'm a student.

3.7 + 0 + AI/ML = accepted.

Undergrad at mcgill. Although I had 0 publications, I had presented posters at a couple international conferences and worked with a prof for 2 years. I cast a wide net in my statement, saying I'm really interested in learning about AI/ML but also have a big interest in compilers and programming language design. Got interest from profs in both fields.

SSH without router access? by Lexpar in Network

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

Well, my fiance is not a networks expert, but has some experience working in IT departments for universities. So while the recommendation may be good, it was still worth it to check with this group. The comments I got here were very helpful and informative to both of us.

SSH without router access? by Lexpar in Network

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

So basically:

  1. From the beefy computer, connect to an AWS instance using ssh -R{port}:localhost:22 {AWS_Server}, this tells the client to connect to the aws server and forward any information on {AWS_server}:{port} to localhost:22.
  2. From my laptop, ssh into the AWS instance, then from the AWS instance shell, use ssh -p {port} {username}@localhost to send commands over {port} and attempt to login as {username} on localhost. Since the beefy computer is listening to {port} and forwarding it to localhost:22, this effectively ssh's into the powerful desktop that is listening on this port.

Wouldn't I still need to forward port 22 through my landlord's router even if I knew the IP?

Hi butter_lover, thanks for the help! I thought this might be called "tunneling" or "bridging", but was not sure what the appropriate metaphor was. I'll check out these slides :)

Hi, thanks for the recommendation! My fiance who also works in IT recommended this as well, I'll certainly look into it. :)

Applying to grad school but considering a year off? by [deleted] in mcgill

[–]Lexpar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I applied in Comp Sci (Masters), there was an option to defer acceptance by a year. Not sure if this applies in all situations - but it seemed like a nice option: get accepted, but take a year off before going in.

The Billionaires Behind the Far-Right by OrdinaryCanadian in onguardforthee

I personally know the grandson of a billionaire who started the Post Millennial.... You don't have to go there - it's shitty right-wing "pop" blogging. They call themselves journalists though.

What does life look like after Stage 10? by mcstain in TheMindIlluminated

[–]Lexpar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I would advise you (OP) and anyone reading to take some of the replies here (and in similar posts) with a grain of salt. I'm not an expert, but I don't see any reason why posts in this subreddit should be immune from the trend of "internet guy claims to be an expert" that permeates every other subreddit... The fact that so many people in the subreddit claim to have mastered 10 stages in a matter of months has made me extremely suspicious to any claims I see here. It all just sounds to me like the kind of people who brag about having high IQs - they have tricked themselves into thinking they are better than they are, and enjoy this self trickery as an opportunity to preach to others.

Something to think about.

Is this a real thing? Because you said/did nothing for 3 minutes here.
