By saying that I didn’t realize it was different in Europe. Often when we (Canada) do something different than the US, it’s because it’s closer to how it’s done in Europe and I assumed this was one of those cases.
I’m planning on looking into this more when I have some free time as I’d like to understand where our approach to both documents came from.
Maybe things are different here in Canada but that’s how I’ve always had it outlined. What you’re describing would be called a resume here and not a CV. The intents of the two documents are not the same.
Most CVs that I’ve seen are usually closer to 3-5 pages but I’ve seen some that are ~10 pages.
Not traditionally. A CV should contain essentially everything whereas the resume is tailored to the specific position.
CVs are much more common for academic positions but I’ve also seen them required for very specialized roles.
They’re definitely not the same thing even though they’ve been used interchangeably more and more.
A CV is a comprehensive overview of everything you’ve accomplished and can be fairly long in certain cases (I’ve seen CVs of specialized professionals or tenured professors that are close to 10 pages long).
On the other hand, a resume is a concise list of your relevant skills and experiences that should be tailored to the position you are applying to and should almost never be longer than 2 pages.
Definitely nothing wrong with that!!
What made you go with a custom solution instead of something like home assistant?
That’s exactly what happened for me. I used to be a mod for a bunch of subreddits (including some fairly popular ones) but I realized I just didn’t really enjoy it anymore. Which is a shame because I’ve started and maintained a lot of communities over the years but being a Reddit mod just killed that for me.
I work in emergency management but I’ve always been interested in tech as a hobby. That led me to start self-hosting Plex on my desktop about 6-7 years ago. Now I’ve got a dedicated machine running unraid with about 20 to 30 different docker services.
I really enjoy being able to figure out how to setup a service and then being able to be fully in control of how it works. Beyond just enjoying tinkering with the system to learn, I enjoy being able to troubleshoot and fix problems without relying on large companies.
Tom Francis (the dev behind TBW and many other great games) posted videos throughout the dev cycle of the game on his YouTube channel. They’re definitely worth a watch for anyone interested in game design/development.
A single command made me switch back to Google Assistant.
Every now and then, I’ll leave the TV on while I fall asleep and for a few years now, I’ve just asked GA to turn off the specific tv in 2 hours. Whenever I tried to get Gemini to do the same, it would just turn off my tv immediately, no matter how I phrased the prompt.
