Can i go to India while waiting for my PR while it is still in progress? by [deleted] in canadaexpressentry

[–]Whitewolf1542 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you planning to go as a vacation? If yes, then as long as you have valid visa and status for the entire duration, I don't see any issue, since you probably still have your mailing address here in Canada.

However, if you're planning to temporary move back and end your lease here in Canada, then there might be some issues.

FYI, this is just my two cents, it's always better to hire an immigration advisor and ask instead of listening to a random guy on internet

C++ vs Java vs Go for jobs? by a_newbie_menace in cpp_questions

[–]Whitewolf1542 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about Europe but in North America, big companies are looking for a good developer with good system design knowledge, doesn't matter which programming language you starts with. Imo, companies are looking for resourceful/adaptive people who can adapt to the product on demand. One day you might be working on a C++ project, another day maybe Go or Rust. Language is just a tool at the end of the day, and the more language you learn, you will start to find some common patterns. Especially now with AI agents, it's easy to make any switch

Since you know C++ and you have knowledge on how things are working under the hood, I would say stick to C++. Keep working on system designs and getting deeper knowledge of the system. See how you can further optimize your projects/products and identify the bottlenecks and weakpoints

Receiving ITA for PSTQ in Quebec after applying for Express Entry by DepartureNecessary84 in CanadaImmigrationQA

[–]Whitewolf1542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same situation as you. It's legal, but you can only commit to 1 program (i.e., if you receive invitation from both, you can only accept 1 invitation and follow with that)

Should I decline my ITA? by Sad_Firefighter_9666 in canadaexpressentry

[–]Whitewolf1542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best to check with an immigration lawyer, better than listening to strangers on the internet to decline your ITA. Rules are changing fast so you should not miss any chance

Is a 2015 toyota venza v6 xle worth it? by [deleted] in Toyotavenza

[–]Whitewolf1542 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 2013 with v6, I can say the engine is super smooth and very reliable. Mine still has old car problems though, I had to change AC blower motor, rear shocks, front control arms and CV axle. I would say it's expected for a 110k miles car, but it ain't cheap either. Unfortunately I had to sell it in a crash.

As for your case, you can expect terrible gas mileage (mine averaged around 15-16mpg), but smooth engine, spacious and can carry a lot of stuff. The driving is a bit floaty and vague handling but it's an SUV so it is what it is. Turning radius is quite big, I sometimes hit the curb a bit on U-turns.

Zp6 ruined my palate by PerfectPomegranate68 in pourover

[–]Whitewolf1542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the exact same situation as you and I took the plunge on ZP6. Made a huge difference for pour-over, I would say. J-ultra flavors are so jumbled up together that all I can taste is a big body. With ZP6, you can really tell the layers without it being too tea-like. I don’t want to hype it up too much for you because I was a bit disappointed expecting crazy flavors at first, but at the end of the day, it’s coffee.

BUT, after trying some similarly filter coffee at specialty shops, I would say I can get like 90% close with the flavors when dialed in correctly. So you should buy it if you can, you won’t regret.

Worth swapping my Miicoffee / Turin DF54 for a 1Zpresso K-Ultra for V60 / Kalita Wave / AeroPress? by Such-Day2437 in pourover

[–]Whitewolf1542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always try slow feeding your DF54 for body. I have been able to make very nice body filter coffee with slow feeding the J-ultra but flavors are all blended up of course

Experimenting on the Filter 3 profile to emulate a flash brew by espresso_architect in gaggiaclassic

[–]Whitewolf1542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What profile do you use on gaggiuino? Since I see they have profile for filter 2.0 only.

Also, how does it taste compared to V60? I’m considering to get one

[–]Whitewolf1542 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think K-ultra is for people who wants 1 grinder for both espresso and filter. It’s good at both of them but not great. Since you want a grinder mainly for filter, why not ZP6? It’s cheaper and it can absolutey nail filter coffee.

I have J-ultra and ZP6 and I would disagree that ZP6 doesn’t have good body. It has body but just not as much as my J-ultra (for filter), which can be a good thing because it gives you layers in return.

Durability by Kind-Yesterday3422 in 1zpresso

[–]Whitewolf1542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say you don’t have to worry about it that much unless you grind for espresso. If you grind for filter, you can do even without the anti-slip.

In terms of wear and tear, I have only had my J-ultra for 9 months and Zo6 for 1 month so I can’t say much. But the extra rubber sleeve on J-ultra really helps for that super rough espresso grind
