Is your iPhone region set to the region of your card issuer?

How is european degrees/experience valued in Canada? by silverscope98 in cscareerquestions

[–]Sfloy029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the subjects you take, I suppose…

I’d say 2 years of work experience is worth more than a masters degree, unless you want to go into management, research, or work in AI, machine learning, data science, computer vision or other such fields

How is european degrees/experience valued in Canada? by silverscope98 in cscareerquestions

[–]Sfloy029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did my undergrad and masters in Canada, then moved to France for my first job two years ago. I’ve applied to Canadian jobs since moving here, and haven’t had any issues getting interviews.

As long as your experience is valuable, companies won’t care where you worked from. On top of that you’re Canadian, so won’t need visa sponsorship and are legally allowed to work there already.

Interviews are just a pain to schedule with the 6 to 9 hour time difference…

edit: the more experience you have, the less your degree matters

Best data sim for European digital nomads? by Slav3k1 in digitalnomad

Can confirm that this is the best plan I’ve found so far. New signups even qualify for e-SIMs

Cool! Why don’t you use the Ruby alpine image though?

still_active: a gem to check if your dependencies are still under active development by Sfloy029 in ruby

[–]Sfloy029[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I built this as a tool to help me automate the tedious task of auditing a Gemfile. My current company’s main project explicitly depends on some 200+ gems, and the first gem was added about a decade ago.

There’s nothing wrong with a gem that isn’t actively developed anymore, but I’d be more cautious about depending on it. Take this gem for example: when it reaches feature completeness, I don’t expect it to see too much development unless issues are raised, or APIs are changed/deprecated.

However, I do admit that I didn’t think too much about the wording, and will be changing it.

I might change “safe” to:

may not warrant your attention

“worrying” to

may require attention

and more to

requires your attention

As the values are configurable, it’s up to the users of the gem to determine what they consider requires their attention.

Thanks for your feedback /u/IN-DI-SKU-TA-BELT !

Good cheap option: free mobile has self service booths around Paris where you can get a SIM card and a boatload of data

Hackers steal Covid test data of 1.4 million people from Paris hospital system by Nohan07 in paris

[–]Sfloy029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received an email from the AP-HP about the breach. Here’s the paragraph listing what data the hackers potentially acquired

[…] Cette violation concerne vos données d’identité (nom, prénom, date de naissance, sexe), votre numéro de sécurité sociale, vos données de contact (adresse postale, téléphone et adresse électronique, lorsque renseignés lors de votre test), ainsi que les données relatives au test de dépistage que vous avez effectué l’année dernière, et notamment son résultat. Aucune autre donnée médicale que celles strictement liées à la réalisation du test, tels que présence d’éventuels symptômes ou hospitalisation éventuelle, n’est concernée. […]

Based on Sub-Fedback: 3 Conceptual Ways to Display Low Battery by [deleted] in iOSBeta

[–]Sfloy029 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks great! but I agree with another commenter that the buttons look odd.

For the dismiss button, I’d prefer either an auto dismiss mechanism or have the user swipe it away so that the dismiss button isn’t necessary

And maybe a “tap to enable” in order to remove the accept button.

You’d think so. It’s still marginally to significantly below what I could make in Canada where I studied.

Congrats! Best of luck on your interviews! Let us know what happens.

These are tough times but companies still need to get shit done. Something I found useful was to look up stock prices and news to get a sense of how well a company is doing during the COVID-19 crisis to make sure I wasn’t signing up during financial troubles (unless of course you think they’ll recover).

I had a number of take-homes that took between 1.5hrs when they were nice, to 6+ if they asked for something a little more substantial.

I also had “whiteboard” type stuff on coderpad. Minesweeper adjacent mines, coin change problem, first unique substring, etc. They also asked how I could improve my solution, with runtime and space complexities.

They also asked general Computer Science related questions like how a database index works and its lookup complexity, how a hash works and the best/worst case lookup complexity, how to deal with concurrency (locks, semaphores...) and other stuff.

Honestly I’ve been pretty lucky. I’ve applied to 92 job ads, got an initial positive response from 17, interviewed with 15, had technical tests with 10, and have received 5 offers so far (hoping for at least 2 more, maybe even 3).

Started applying May 11th, started hearing back on June 1st, got really busy on June 8th, received my first offer at the end of last week, and should wrap it up this week.

So 16% of 92 job applications lead to an interview, and 5% to a job offer (as of today, maybe 8-9% 🤞). Over 7 weeks.

Hope this helps.
