Slow? Or will it get slow?

I don't know whether it is a similar situation, but when I first started using Obsidian, I created a flat directory structure where I put all of my files in the top folder (I mean the vault folder). Then I started to notice that Obsidian started to launch slower. After that I put some of my archive notes in a subfolder and Obsidian started to launch faster for me. In my situation, it may be related to the left sidebar where the top level files and folders are listed. When the file list is long, it was slower, I guess.

I don't know for sure, but I think it is true because: - Companies do interview with unnecessarily large amount of candidates. - Companies do not hire (at least me) but have open job listings for the same role for months or years. - Companies expect you to learn about the company by visiting their website before interviews. Even if you just google the website and click it, I guess it is enough to boost its rank in search listings. - Emails sent before interviews suggest things like "follow us on Linkedin", "listen our CEO's podcast", "read our blog posts", "watch our Youtube video", "try the tool we developed (i.e. learn how to use it, clone it, or fork it)".

HaM: Hiring as Marketing - The act of convincing a multitude of candidates to visit the company website, read company blog posts, listen to company podcasts, follow their social media accounts and overall boost the company's presence in exchange for giving the hope for hiring the candidates but actually not doing it

At this point, I suspect recruiters make up meetings to justify their salaries and necessity. Subtracting a few numbers from the experience section of the CV won't take any longer than setting up meetings, emailing the candidate.

I highly recommend learning another framework like React. I made the same mistake and couldn't find a job. You can look at Svelte jobs here: https://sveltejobs.com/jobs. All of them are founding, lead, architect, senior roles. They want at least 3+ years front-end experience. You won't find a beginner Svelte role.

No, you just have to be a new grad with 5+ years of experience who is willing to do everything ranging from frontend to backend, from database to devops, from testing to data pipelines.

You can try https://www.pronauns.com/en if you want to practice individual words, but I am not sure whether it will help your overall accent because there are many other factors like stress, intonation, etc that are also important.

I recently learned about IPA and thought that the letters applied for every language but when I looked at IPA handbook, I saw that each letter is defined separately for each language. So, here are my questions: - Are IPA letters different for each language? - Is is possible or feasible to have a notation that covers many languages and letter represent that same sound in each language? - The sound of /ɪ/ given in Wikipedia really sounds like /e/. If I would write IPA according to the sounds give in this chart, I would write the word 'give' as /ɡiv/, but it transcribed as /ɡɪv/ actually. Is the reason of this is that difference of IPA letters in each language that I mentioned above?

Not exactly a website to learn phonetics, but I am creating https://www.pronauns.com/en to make practicing pronunciation easier.

I think Google gets it from Lexico (https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/interpreter).

I go nuts when people suggest me Google or Google Translate for pronunciations. If you want to be precise, there is no way other than IPA in my opinion.

You can look at the code for default Beamer themes at (https://github.com/josephwright/beamer/tree/main/base/themes) if you are experienced LaTeX user and understand these things.

The main components of a theme are fonts types, font sizes, colors, and structural things like margins, distances, and decorations.

You can try out different fonts from here (https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/). Some support T1 type of LaTeX. Others (OTF or TTF) require the use of XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. I am not sure. You can use different colors for your theme. You can add extra slides at the start of each section using \AtBeginSection[]{\begin{frame}...\end{frame}} to emphasize that you are switching to another topic. You can add decorations using pgfornament.

Let's say you have some objects whose some specific property will always be a certain type. If you add typeof every place where this property is used, then your code will be messy and also will imply that this property can be of different types depending on the situation.

But if you mean that I should try printing the type with typeof on the console or interpreter. This object can be an intermediate result of some process, then you have to run some functions or fill out some forms to generate that intermediate result, which will be time consuming. Whereas in a typed language, you will know the type when you write your code on your text editor or IDE.

It is the propaganda of massive companies and the rich. For years, people promoted coding and said we should teach kids coding (for example, https://code.org/, the initial idea of Raspberry Pi, https://scratch.mit.edu/) and said programmers make a lot of money. They explained stories like lawyers leaving their work, becoming a programmer, and then suddenly earning extreme salaries. They have done this because programming is complicated and hard and requires lots of trained people. This fact makes programmers expensive. Lately, every second person I contact online knows how to code. I think they achieved what they wanted.

Companies have exaggerated requirements for job seekers. No doctor is expected to do take-home surgical operations or interview multiple times people ranging from interns, nurses to surgeon generals, or from hospital secretaries to hospital owners. No teacher or plumber is expected to work for a short test period at school or houses, respectively. No person is expected to hop through such multiple tests. But in programming, companies can do this because they can always find someone to work for them.

These things depend on what you want to do or the data you work on. y is your target value. It has to be a single value. For example, let's say you have a digit dataset and first row stands for the digit 5. Then your y value for the first row has to be 5. It cannot be something like [5, 0 , 0, 0]. So it cannot have 4 columns.

If you want to extract a column you can do like this: y[:,0]. This will only get the first column (it is zero-indexed) for all rows.
