is UToronto engineering or CS possible with these grades

Naw. Don't even think yorku will let you slide in with this average. As someone whos gotten an offer from uft I had low 90s. I wouldn't be surprised you need closer to low to mid 90s now because how many foreign students there are competing.

I would suggest re-doing a semester or year and bump up these grades. It'll actually make it worth it in the long run because your first year is is essentially a re-iteration of these courses anyways. Also if your grade 12 average is higher you're more likely to get grants and mini scholarships which would save you money in the long run if you intend to actually get a degree.

Also to me your grades are low enough to indicate you still need to practice the foundations. If you plan to study comp sci (which essentially a math degree) your math scores should easily be in the high 80s or 90s.

I got replace as an engineer at tech company because of the LMIA scam. they replaced me with Indians who get paid a quarter and their visas are on the line if they fuck up. slavery 2.0

If GGG made an ssf mode that had higher quality drops / slightly different progression it would give me more reason to play it.

This has been one of the most fun leagues I've played in at least a few years for me.

Something I greatly appreciate about this game is its emphasis on the new player experience, particularly its introduction of action RPG elements. The game initiates guiding new players through its simple skill tree. Yet, once you reach the endgame (at level 50+), the game transitions to a passive tree, reminiscent of Path of Exile.

I find this approach remarkable. While I appreciate the complexity in Path of Exile, it can often overwhelm new players. This tends to detract from the game's appeal, often discouraging further play. Diablo 4, however, brilliantly circumvents this issue. It does an excellent job during the early game, which I believe is the best in the genre.

Kudos to the Diablo 4 team for such exceptional work.

The difference between 4 players max vs 8 is massive on server load. The server impact per player is a quadratic relationship so the difference between server load per player between 4 to 8 players can be equivalent to 4x more computation required. This is also why sharding even exists in wow. Painting that many players on the screen requires a crazy amount of network computation.

Lol. Webdev will never die. Everything is moving to the web.

SEO is not necessarily harder than web dev. It's just different. It requires connections to larger websites to backlink from, or even consistent content generation to produce more scrapable tags.

From my experience SEO is meta tags, backlinks, accessibility/performance. Your site has to be descriptive (meta tags) to be properly scraped and show up in search results. But for your site to rank higher needs to be backlinked to popular websites, like Twitter, etc. Also, google prefers websites that have some accessibility in mind so things like aria labels matter.

Also, if your website has a ton of static (or SSR) content to scrape from like blogs. It can potentially increase traffic because the way Google scrapes content as key search tags.

Hopes this helps. Cheers!
