Got a final round case interview with EY (Canada) in person. I already had a suit and tie ready to go but then got the confirmation email and it specifically says "Business Casual" attire. Now I'm second guessing myself. Is it weird to just wear the suit anyway or should I actually dress it down since they wrote it out explicitly? Don't want to look like I ignored the instructions but also don't want to be the underdressed.

I don't have a phobia as such, but I'm trying to understand why abandoned swimming pools and family resorts out of all the things on earth creep me the f out ? What is it about these places ? Anyone has any ideas ?

Usually people don't ask me where I'm from but this client has, it surprised me a little, this is the video I sent them. Where do you think I'm from ? I work for a US company and our clients are usually from USA.

Hey,

I was wondering, my wife, our one year old daughter, and I are flying First Class from Seattle to Honolulu in August. I don't understand do we get lounge access or not?

Cheers

This is ridiculous. It’s 5am, I’ve slept for about two hours, it’s 27 degrees in the bedroom.

The UK should not have weather like this. We’re a country designed for drizzle and mild disappointment, not temperatures normally reserved for rotisserie chickens.

Just moved into a new house and I’ve got a strange issue with the bath/shower mixer tap.
If I run the bath tap, I get hot water no problem. However, when I pull up the little diverter switch to send the water to the shower head, the water comes out cold.

Any advice please ?

Cheers

Hey,

Just in case anyone is curious, here is my timeline for IEC Working Holiday: applied to the pool on 29th of April, got my invitation on 11th May, submitted my application the same day, did biometrics on 14th of May in London, and received my Port of Entry letter today 27th of May.

Any questions let me know. Good luck all!

Hi,

I'm doing my MSc in Computer Science and I've been a bit of a Voyager geek for years. The probe that's been running since 1977 on 70KB of memory, no operating system, FORTRAN and Assembly, and NASA still managed to patch it from 14 billion miles away a couple of years back.

Anyway I want to base my dissertation around it. The rough idea is to build a simple emulator that reflects how Voyager handled things like task scheduling, memory management, and software updates, using a cooperative main control loop with no OS underneath. Written in C++, maybe a bit of Assembly for comparison. The point isn't to recreate the hardware, more to implement the same software principles and see how they hold up.

What I'm struggling with is shaping it into proper research questions that are actually testable.

Would love to hear from anyone who works in embedded systems or has done research in this space.

Cheers
