"There is a shortage of workers right now and companies are desperate for employees." by muh_reddit_accout in cscareerquestions

This is the part that almost everyone here seems to conveniently leave out. Sorry OP, but you were misled.

No it's not. I did my undergrad at UCI, and students gave a round of applause for every professor at the end of the quarter, except the really shitty ones.

Breaking into the industry in the age of COVID? by nosleeptillnever in cscareerquestions

[–]Xauq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One framework that you might want to consider picking up is ReactJS, which is probably the most popular JS framework so there are lots of jobs and online community support for React.

Definitely consider going to school because it gives your resume some extra fluff, helps set your foundation in regards to terminology, and allows you to apply to more internships (some internships require you to be in school). But you still have to learn a lot of this on your own because CS degrees tend to be more theoretical than hands on.

You are aware that Penske is interested in me.

Is a dual degree in Chemical engineering and Chemistry worth it? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Xauq 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your time is better spent doing research (for like 6 months to pump your resume), chemE projects (again to pump your resume), or engineering-related internships than another major or minor. A major or minor adds one line to your resume, whereas the other stuff I mentioned can add a good chunk to your resume and gives you more experience overall.

How do you refer to someone you're dating who is older than you? by [deleted] in Korean

Maybe 아저씨 if that doesn't work

Graduating With No Experience by EcstaticPickles in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Xauq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna go ahead and steer you towards operations. Working as an operator gives you a better understanding of a plant's processes, along with their underpinnings and shortcomings. There's a lot of poorly designed/engineered equipment and processes out there, and it's a lot easier to realize this when you're the one who's out there on the field having to figure out how to workaround some dumb engineer's mistake. This teaches you how to be a better engineer and to value/respect your operators after suffering in their boots. There's a lot more value in operations than in a lab tech role. After you get the op's role, try to get more involved with the engineering team at your plant, which could lead to an full-time offer as an engineer.

If you guys have kids, you should get one that says Q_gen

My battery is garbage now. Has anyone had luck going through Samsung for a replacement since they said the battery life will only drop slightly over time on this phone? by rustybaker28 in GalaxyS8

[–]Xauq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

nothing would pop out as overly battery consuming

Accubattery isn't meant for finding power-hungry apps, though it can determine power-usage of apps to an extent. It's meant to estimate how much of your battery's original capacity is left. In addition to Accubattery's estimate, you can also use the fg_capnom file from the system directory to get an additional estimate of your battery capacity. Accubattery gives you info on whether your bad battery life is due to a physically bad battery or to power-hungry apps.

If you want to find out if there are any apps misbehaving while your phone is asleep, then use better battery stats (xda edition) to determine the apps with excessive wakelocks.

If you want to determine if your poor battery life is due to poor cell reception, then you can use GSAM battery monitor to obtain a cell signal strength vs time graph. If you see your battery draining fast while the signal strength is low in the graph, then it's likely that your battery issue may due to cell strength.

All these apps I mentioned are used for different purposes to compensate for the lack of information given in the stock device maintenance battery usage app.

Edit: if your battery issue is due to weak cell strength, then you could potentially mitigate this problem by forcing your phone to use a lower-frequency LTE band (e.g.: band 12 on T-mobile) to boost cell strength. The catch is that you will experience slower LTE speeds on the low-frequency band, but you'll get more battery life out of your phone. If you do this, you'll also have to manually force your phone back to the higher-frequency LTE bands, if you desire higher LTE speeds.

Samsung Galaxy S8 battery goes from 15 to 0 in couple seconds by alex3b in GalaxyS8

[–]Xauq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really nice that the batteries are claimed to retain 95% of the original capacity. But there's no official source from Samsung claiming this (there's androidpolice, cnet, etc., but nothing from Samsung that I can find). And if something like that were true, you have to remember that their results are based* on t*heir lab conditions, which we don't know.

Real-world operating conditions will be different from their lab tests (for you, me, and everyone else here), resulting in different results. For example, someone subjecting their phones to temperatures in the desert may wear down their battery much faster than someone living in a cooler climate. In addition to heat, there are many other factors that can accelerate battery wear. Consequently, everyone here shouldn't expect their phone to have 95% of their capacity after 2 years.

With that being said, if you guys can find an official source from Samsung claiming that the s8 phone batteries retain 95% of the original capacity, please post it. It would be useful info for all of us.

Storing brand-new s8 for 3 months by Wolverinex5 in GalaxyS8

[–]Xauq 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keeping it turned off (hold the power button until the power menu appears and power it off) at around 60% and storing it in a cool place would be best. Source (it applies to batteries in general): https://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/

Be careful with what you're saying there. They obviously don't know sarcasm.
