• What positions/roles/industries are you targeting?

I'm not picky. I think I would prefer some sort of systems/infrastructure adjacent role. Automation is also very easy.

• Where are you located and what locations are you applying to jobs in?

I'm in California. I'm okay with relocation anywhere.

• Are you only applying to local jobs? Remote only? Are you willing to relocate?

I've been applying everywhere I can but I get screened out of the phone interview once the recruiter realizes I'm not in the area but willing to relocate.

• Tell us about your background and current employment situation

I'm a new grad and I'm currently working as a tutor. I've been picking up various tech certifications because I think the systems knowledge is useful and I wouldn't mind branching out into tech support or systems administration.

• Tell us about your job-hunting situation and challenges you've encountered

I get interviews, not for software but for other roles like systems administration. I feel like they go well at the time but I never get a call back.

• Tell us why you're seeking help. (i.e., just fine-tuning, not getting called back for interviews, etc.)

I want to know if I wrote something that would offend a hiring manager or something like that. I would also like to know what I could do to add better content. Maybe there's a good project or two I could work on?

• Is there a particular section on your resume you’d like feedback on?

I saw in the wiki that you're not supposed to add a references section, so is what I'm doing by putting my supervisors information okay?

• Is your citizenship status and visa situation playing a role in your job search?

No, I am a US citizen.

I desire obliteration

I have been running Linux VMs to do practice tests for an upcoming RHCSA. When I'm done with the VM my thirst for blood demands that I destroy my VM.

I tried rm -rf / --no-preserve-root, and while that did remove most files on my system it was not as dramatic as I liked. To my dismay the VM was maimed but kept limping along displaying an impotent command line, which just kind of made me feel bad for it.

What's worse, I happen to have a girlfriend and I had beckoned her over to bother her with my show of force but 'permission denied' to deleting the kernel files, and the command line left over just kind of made me look stupid (stupider relative to bothering her in the first place). Now I am humiliated and I'm sure she will leave me. /j

Will something along the lines of dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sdb1 && rm -rf / --no-preserve-root work? I don't even want the machine to display a command line after my command executes.

RHEL 10

KVM/QEMU Hypervisor

P.S: I tried posting this on Linux4Noobs but their filters kept blocking my post.

I would like to respectfully make the case that IQ is not a worthwhile metric.

Vaush is right that IQ is not a good measure of General Intelligence (GI). I would like to expound on this before I make my point because it is necessary for my final conclusion. IQ is not a good metric of GI because IQ makes 3 faulty assumptions. 1, Intelligence is general. 2, Intelligence is reducible to pattern recognition. 3, Intelligence is unchanging.

This is wrong because 1, The brain is multimodal parallel processing machine which has components for specific types of cognition (the part of your brain responsible for processing sound is distinct from the part of your brain responsible for processing visual objects, for instance), therefore, intelligence is specific, not general. 2, Pattern Recognition is generally a set of NP and quadratic problems time complexity problems that are difficult to optimize and therefore have a low ceiling for performance. 3, as for reasons Vaush explains in the SES-IQ study video, the brain can be fundamentally restructured due to environmental factors.

What Vaush says is that although IQ is not a good metric of GI, it is yet valuable because it correlates with cognitive ability. Strictly speaking, I don't think Vaush is incorrect for saying this. However, I think the cognitive ability IQ most reliably correlates with is literacy. Illiteracy is very high in America and strongly correlated with SES. By nature of being a written exam, illiterate children would score very poorly on an IQ test. Vaush has extensively covered the crisis in our education systems so I hope he would be sympathetic to this point.

My conclusion, since Intelligence is specific and changes over someones lifetime. Then, to measure someone's intelligence, especially a child's, it would be necessary to test them over a set of distinct subjects intermittently. These are grades. IQ is not a worthwhile metrics where grades are a better metric of intelligence. To measure the intelligence of different groups of children I think it's best to merely look at their academic performance.
