@cnx @mcsinyx can't you request them to use another service? If that alternative does not introduce much trouble (e.g. having to install something or having to register), I believe they would agree.

Thanks @huy_ngo, that sounds like a good idea. Let me see.

So @huy_ngo, apparently it is not possible since the department to administrate the sessions (and thus I suppose they would prefer a platform they are familiar with).

On the bright side, my interviewer/potential future mentor is beyond my expectation: sending me a plain text email and using Vim and Emacs as first examples for editors. Plus the topic is filled with libre materials. I want this badly!

I had to reapply due to not being able to graduate in time. The document screening result will be announced tomorrow, and I made myself a promise that if I get accepted (and pass the interview again), I will learn Korean and AMD64 assembly.

@cnx why AMD64 asm?

@xarvos, because lower-level/system programming tutorial just casually show asm as if everyone can read it, so I start to think I am the problem.

Now I know I passed the screening, I start to regret making this promise publicly. Would it be OK to exchange AMD64 assembly for both North and South Korean, or do they speak the same language?

I’m half way through the alphabet (not the asm one) and I can now read @emersion profile pic (and yes it sounds like Simon in French, one need not knows Hangul to guess that).

BTW Simon Ser, since I already mention you, do you have any recommendation for learning Korean? Preferably not in French, which I can barely understand now (my teachers must be really disappointed to hear this)-;

4 months later and I still don’t know jack shit of neither. On the bright side I can now kinda sorta type hangul to look things up thanks to this cool game.
