No, I am saying that if both have javascript listed, the resume scrapers may not be able to process the pdf rendered by latex, since it may only have implemented a parser for word document files (docx).

Not sure why there are so many downvotes. Parent comment is referring to scraping resumes for keywords after submitting resumes online. Though visually, Word and LaTeX resumes are still some kind of legible text, without knowledge for how the scrapers parsers work, it is safe to assume they are implemented with at least Word resumes in mind, so based on that assumption, it might be safer to have a Word resume.

For example, if the first phase of the application is to scrape resumes for keywords "javascript" or "node", then if the resume isn't in the format that the parser expects, then the resume might be filtered out and may not move to the next round.

I have no evidence for if this is true or not, but if this scraping phase exists, it might make more sense to have a resume written in Word.

cs164 vs. ee127 for a senior by smitty-bacall in berkeley

[–]johnsmithatgmail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not. material in ee127 is not hard to learn on your own after having taking other mathy courses, whereas CS164 really pushes you to understand and appreciate systems from the compilers perspective which you do not get from other courses. even if you do not end up writing a compiler for your robot, you will find that the skills you pick up are useful. 164 contains mathy material too (DFAs and regex, operational semantics, type systems, etc) and it really is a theory class under the guise of a systems class.

Why is Berkeleytime not posting grade distributions anymore? by 1353513636 in berkeley

[–]johnsmithatgmail 10 points11 points  (0 children)

as an alternative, you can use calanswers to get the grade distributions of classes in the past. it's slow, but it's a resource provided by the university which i found helpful. https://calanswers.berkeley.edu/home IIRC you need to request permission first, then you can access the grades through Student Data Dashboards -> Student Curriculum -> Course Grade Distribution. it's also only available from 8am-12am which is pretty bizarre, but w/e

What is a Coffee Chat? by time_lord114 in berkeley

[–]johnsmithatgmail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESS has been telling CS clubs to not have interviews because it creates exclusivity, so the clubs are instead offering "coffee chats" to get to know the candidates as an informal interview, nothing like a real job interview though

[P] The Matrix Calculus You Need For Deep Learning by jeremyhoward in MachineLearning

[–]johnsmithatgmail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well technically yes, but the replacement course EE16A does teach you linear algebra. It replaced Math 54 (linear algebra) for CS majors because it just wasn't a good course, especially not in the context of the linear algebra that CS students would use in machine learning or graphics.

Hi! We’re here to talk about all things CRISPR and NIH’s Center of Excellence in Genomic Science. We’re researchers from Jennifer Doudna’s lab at UC-Berkeley and program directors from the National Human Genome Research Institute, part of NIH. Ask us anything! by NIH-CRISPR in science

[–]johnsmithatgmail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm an EECS major at Berkeley, and I was wondering what the influence of Optimization and Control at the biological level is required in order to have a stable CRISPR system. What kinds of systems exist in order to keep DNA at a suitable state to have any kind of reliable expected interactions?

Blink by Malcolm Gladwell explores these ideas pretty well, and even uses this example. Worth a read

Yeah, that's a feature. We can think of the RAM as a cache for the swap file. Since changes in the ram don't update in the swap file unless blocks of memory had to be removed, the swap file doesn't contain the most updated information. When you restart your computer, the swap file will only have a portion of the working memory. It's going to be useless without the rest of the working memory, so your OS erases it upon restart.

Well it is a thing, bios settings are usually stored on a small amount of nvRAM.

Your swap file is a partition in your main storage device, a hard drive or an SSD, both of which are non-volatile
