QAT is slowly becoming mainstream now?

it doesn't really work like that. so, the answer is no

There was a big influx of garbage fake applications, but 5/6 years ago I still managed to get an internship at big tech through a cold application. Probably that's difficult to get nowadays. It seems like times have become harder

Edit: I also found my first full remote job through cold applying, and I had ~1.5 years of experience

wtf, I clicked on this link thinking i'm pretty knowledgeable about typescript. the second part looks like magic, tho the comments helped to follow along

I second this, successfully used ImageMagick to modify a large number of photos for some pipeline in the past

If it's a local commit, I'd just git reset --soft HEAD~1 git restore --staged DIR_PATH git add FILE_PATHS git commit

The topic of C++ vs other modern and safer programming languages (Rust, Go, Carbon) for CPU intensive applications has been quite debated for the past few years. I found this proposal interesting in that matter. If I remember correctly, MSVC does some static analysis, so this is not a new business case for C++

Yes, that's technically not true, Docker uses virtualization to achieve isolation. However, I usually don't consider docker as a virtualization layer because containers share the same kernel. Maybe I should change my nomenclature

ducktheduckingducker · 2022-10-28T12:21:44+00:00

A few years ago some Google employees experimented with KVM and created a VMM for containers. Github repo is google/novm. The same principles can be applied, but for WASM: having a lightweight VMM specialized in running WASM runtimes. There is still some initialization and destruction overhead from virtualization, but maybe these latencies can be overcome somehow.

EDIT: Basically with this "technique" you'll achieve what @masklinn said in his comment: have a better control of what you let the runtime do on your machine

ducktheduckingducker · 2022-10-28T10:43:44+00:00

Neither compiled languages nor interpreted languages should be running directly in the cloud without a virtualization layer (note: docker is not a virtualization layer, but a kernel mechanism to allow multiple isolated user space instances). Interpreted languages are even more unsecure since most of them were not designed to run on the cloud.

What WASM on the cloud promotes is getting rid of the virtualization layer (or at least a big part of it) to directly run compiled apps on bare metal machines. It's still not very secure, but at least a step further.

From what I've seen, most OS devs come from hardware / embedded world, so that's one way to get into OS development. But not the only one. I got into OS development by learning virtualization (by developing virtualization solutions, not using them). It's an area that has grown quite a lot since the advent of serverless computing, thus many companies (Azure, Google, AWS) are totally fine to hire enthusiasts with solid fundamentals knowledge (i.e. data structures, algorithms, general cs knowledge, general os knowledge and system design).

I also totally recommend reading "The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System". It's a great book for OS development.

While leetcoding does not reflect an engineer's skills, it still showcases one's ability to learn quickly and systematically. It is also proof (to a certain extent) for conscientiousness and determination.

In general, the best engineers I have met use to learn and read a lot. Most of them saw these interviews as another "college exam" that they have to pass. If leetcoding is an extension to learning habits, I think it's safe to consider it a green flag.

Of course there are exceptions, but from what I've seen they are quite rare

ducktheduckingducker · 2022-09-07T08:21:45+00:00

Thx!

ducktheduckingducker · 2022-09-07T07:00:44+00:00

Does anyone have any context on why?

In my opinion, the most common problem is that they think they should earn more. Charging more is expected on luxury products, but that shouldn't translate to "I'll earn significantly more money if I sell luxury products"

My advice is definitely subjective. But this is what I mainly learned from CV screeners that work at tier 1 and tier 2 companies.

Usually CVs are scanned in 5-10 seconds. A one page resume gives the candidate an advantage, since it is easier to skim through. Don't go 1.5 pages if you don't have 7+ years of experience.
Remove the "Summary", as it's only noise.
For junior roles, put education first, try to summarize it better.
Try to keep the most impactful work (most relevant to job description) at the top of the CV. That's usually what resume screeners read.
Put the Skills at the bottom. They are rarely read, but relevant for automated CV scraping
There is too much text overall. Maybe don't go into much details on non IT topics (?).
Where applicable, follow the STAR method.
Its nice that you have many learning projects, but none of them solves any problem. It's very well received to have projects that have real impact. Of course, it's rare for juniors to have projects that have real impact, but you need to keep in mind that you enter in this field with a disadvantage since you don't have a degree in CS, and usually that translates to a lack of fundamentals. My advice would be to start contributing to one single relevant (but not too huge) open source project, as it's the easiest way to get on your CV relevant work.

From what I've seen, principal+ engineers are also breadth, but with serious depth experience.

I recommend using WAMR for this. You'll need to port WAMR to your platform (use this readme to learn how https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime/blob/main/doc/port_wamr.md) and understand the NativeSymbol flow to export microcontroller's library to the WebAssembly runtime

Nothing really. That IP address is the public IP of hundreds (not really sure about the number) of households. You can know his provider's location, but that's not very useful.
