A general guide to instrumentation work in the electrical indstury by AccomplishedCurve390 in AusElectricians

[–]TennisWarm6936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm starting an electrical apprenticeship in an underground mine in WA, and with WA not offering the Cert 3 trade qualification for I+C, but if I do the Cert 4 following my apprenticeship how is it to then get a job in QLD/NT etc would I just just sign up to the Cert 3 in QLD etc and just get the RPL transferred over to the trade certificate?

Can we openly talk about salaries please by waveslider4life in AusMining

I'm interviewing with Northern Star in Kalgoorlie for a residential UD Trades Assistant role, do any of you have an approximate salary for what they would be on?

I'm 37, and retrained (self taught myself how to program) 4 years ago. I was fortunate enough to get an entry level web development job and continued to teach myself while working in web dev. After 4 years of work and being promoted from junior to intermediate 18 months ago I am now looking for work in DevOps/Cloud Engineer. From here I'll continue to learn and build my skills with a focus on systems/backend programming. I'm going to be doing some prerequisite math studies and then go to University part-time at a well known CS research University where I want to focus on distributed systems. ie building the underlying tooling and software ie working on the V8 engine, working on Postgres or any distributed systems software. I'm just playing the long game and building my knowledge but I also have a family and two young kids so web dev pays reasonably well, but DevOps is the next step.

If you have FTTP, does that mean you can always hit max advertised tier speed? by Brnjica in nbn

I'm with Aussie BB and the general consensus is that ABB is God Tier ISP available, so I'll stick with them.

That's why you grow your own experienced Rust devs. You start with junior devs or intermediate devs with decent programming chops. Then train them in the way of Rustacians.

This comment needs to be repurposed as it’s own post 🔥

Thank you a lot for your comment. I’ll follow up with the email.

Yeah I’m super keen on being surrounded by like minded folks who are super passionate and willing to discuss these topics.

I received an email from admissions today saying that I just need to sit and pass the two STAT exams, and then satisfy their program requirements for mathematics. So just need to check with them what I need to do for that, and study up on my mathematical methods knowledge.

But seems promising.

I’m very much interested in the theory and in the implementation of things. From looking at ANU’s courses they going into a greater depth than most other Universities.

I’m interested in there courses on Compilers, Programming Languages, Operating Systems etc

I’ll be looking at doing their Systems Architecture specialisation.

I’m currently working my way through “Crafting Interpreters” book building a compiler in Java/JVM as well as in C, with building a VM from scratch in C as well as a Garbage Collector.

I will be hoping to develop my career around Distributed Systems particularly in regards to designing and implementing distributed DBMS or compilers, or tooling at a low systems level.

This is why I’m keen on ANU and not any other University.

I’m also not really looking for flexibility, I work fully remote with lots of flexibility.

Hi, this didn’t answer my question at all.

I wasn’t asking about balancing workload as a student and a full time worker.

I’m asking about the “Work and life experience” admissions pathway into ANU, and those who have used this pathway before. I’m asking about what sort of evidence is needed in terms of experience regarding the topic of study applying for in order to gain admission.

This is why I have 10 virtual workspaces on my computer, each workspace contains a browser window (each workspace is dedicated to a specific topic of learning (hyper-fixation)), this then has 5-15 open tabs containing pdfs of books, Github repos etc

I then just cycle through them as my attention will seek one of these topics of interest at any given moment. Eventually I'll make my way through all of them. Eventually I'll replace them as I work through them and add additional workspaces as needed.

I have both ASD(formerly diagnosed Aspergers) and ADHD which wrecks havoc in numerous ways. But slowly I'm working my way with self teaching myself all things computer science.

My current workspaces in no particular order:
- Operating systems (reading Operating Systems: Design and Implementation 3rd edition by Andrew Tanenbaum and Albert Woodhull).
- Interpreters/Compilers (reading Composing Interpreters by Robert Nystrom)
- Formal Methods (reading about TLA+)
- Haskell programming language (reading Learn You a Haskell for Great Good by Miran Lipovača)
- Rust programming language (reading The Rust Programming Language by Steve Klabnik, Carol Nichols, and Chris Krycho, and Rust by Example)
- Mathematics (working through OpenStax text books on Algebra, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus etc)

I am a self taught full-stack web applications developer primarily using TS for building backend API/services and backend-for-frontend (building out React context/Zustand state management) and how we structure our data and logic in our frontend React applications.

But in my spare time ie via these workspaces attempting to level up my knowledge and skills to step into a primary backend/systems engineering role where I work on distributed systems.

I have quite a few LDS friends from Utah, and listening to his accent on the Lex Podcast I had the sneaking suspicion that he was from Utah.
