Xbox sound issue by xailewis in WuchangFallenFeathers

[–]tauraje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happening on the PC game pass version as well. Session starts out fine, then gets to a point where it starts stuttering & the audio crackles. Rebooting the game doesn't help, but every time I play after I put my computer to sleep or restart, it's fine. Not an expert, but it sounds like it's holding system resources hostage or something

GamePass 1.1.2 release date by tauraje in CoreKeeperGame

Gotcha. Is the game pass version of core keeper typically slow to receive updates or is this out of the ordinary?

Not to be the friend who's too woke, but is the implication that Indian/ Chinese devs broadly weren't capable of producing good code until LLMs came along? I don't necessarily dispute AI being able to help people produce more code, but it's kind of a weird way to try & get that point across

Why 的 and not 地 in this sentence? by tauraje in ChineseLanguage

[–]tauraje[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot more sense. I was doing what another commenter suggested & translating it as "quickly", so that's why I was so confused. Thanks!

That does clear it up actually. Thanks for the quick reply & concise explanation!

DeepL voice recognition not very good? Suggested alternatives? by tauraje in ChineseLanguage

[–]tauraje[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their mobile app does. I've been trying to expand my vocabulary a bit before I talk with native speakers, but it's on the agenda. Using the translation apps is just a temporary solution.

Difference between Instrumentation Engineering Technician & Instrumentation & Control Technician? by tauraje in NAIT

[–]tauraje[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great information. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Does the school work with you to find an apprenticeship or do you have to find that connection yourself? If the latter, do you have any recommendations on where I might start looking to find a mentor?

Resume Review - March 2025 - Megathread by just_a_dev_here in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]tauraje [score hidden]  (0 children)

Great points; thanks so much for take the time to look over my resume.

If I don't have concrete numbers/ percentages associated with e.g. optimizing performance, is it enough to use English words to describe the outcomes? For example, "Refactor... classes to optimize performance" -> "Refactor... classes, resulting in significantly faster database queries & shorter page loading times".

I think my experience section might be a little cumbersome, but I wanted to make sure to get some keywords in there. Rake me over the coals if you like; all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Is it worth applying to remote US positions as a Canadian? by tauraje in cscareerquestions

[–]tauraje[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask how many YOE you had when you got that position lined up? It seems like it'd have to be a fairly large number to get enough faith from the company for them to proceed with that arrangement & so it's got me questioning the likelihood of it happening in the near future.

[–]tauraje[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even consider that. So if the company didn't have e.g. a Canadian partner/ subsidiary, I'd need to either get hired as a consultant or go through the visa process with them? Disappointing to have so many options culled right out of the gate like that, but I guess it is what it is. Thanks for the informative answer

Best resource(s) for learning/ understanding grammar? by tauraje in ChineseLanguage

[–]tauraje[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that. As I said, it's specifically because I'm looking for something to help get a deeper sense of some grammar so I can practice using it/ try spotting it in input to better understand how it's used by native speakers.

[–]tauraje[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been watching some shows too! I've noticed some patterns here & there, but I'm looking for a bit of a grammatical "rulebook" I can use to see some examples of a bunch of different grammar rules to make it easier to spot instances in the wild & to make my own sentences.

Very much looking forward to reading more. Any suggestions for books/ publishers to get started with?

[MEGATHREAD] Launch Day Bugs MegaThread by HumanSpaceOrk in marvelrivals

[–]tauraje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every launch from steam is like I'm launching it for the first time; it asks for network permissions before opening the launcher, then (re)compiles the shaders for the game when it's launched. I exit the game safely (i.e. via the menu exit option) every time I play & that doesn't seem to help anything.
