I believe it comes down to the difference between master‘s and bachelor’s as well as the size of the university. After showing the article to one of my friends who‘s doing the thesis right now, he told me that his experience with his superv

I think it’s worth a try. Being a bit older than the rest (almost thirties) when I started also gave me pause at first. But I felt that people were very welcoming regardless of your situation.

My pleasure. Good luck with your studies!

I wouldn’t let that discourage you. During my time there I did meet people well in their mid thirties juggling work, kids and the masters. Depending on your country, universities can do a lot of accommodations to parents if that’s in the pi

The "Ministry of Truth" in this case is a bad analogy though, since in the story, its purpose was to redefine what is the truth according to state up to the point of forcing people ignore the proof that they see in front of their

I think the idea would be to compete in different segments. Startups often focus on problems where hypergrowth is at least possible with massive investments. But the examples listed in the article advocate for ideas that might generate mill

I think it's more likely that while the punishment might be significant it will be more profitable to continue as long as possible violating the law or at least pushing the boundaries as much as possible instead of proactively being co

I can't speak for the original poster but one thing that I noticed is that from time to time it happens to me that despite not having a tight deadline I tend to not go all the way in avoiding tech debt. One example would be that I had

The standards mentioned in the article seem to be required to deploy rust code as part of safety critical systems in cars and other industrial applications. This might be a big deal to get rust code into cars but I’m just guessing

Which in itself would be a bad security practice because that would mean that the passwords aren't individually salted.

From personal experience I can tell you that using a modern framework can be really worth the added complexity even in simple applications. For one of my clients projects it started out in what seemed like a simple crud app and so I did the

I feel like D has a lower barrier of entry than rust. It has the familiar patterns most developers a familiar with like garbage collection and inheritance while also giving you the tools to manually take care of the garbage in a safe manner

That would be a grammar checker though. And there are many solutions available today to do that. Even open source solutions. Grammarly would be one example, language tool another. The ones I looked at work by encoding common spelling mistak

It depends on your project. As soon as you add too many dependencies to rust with lots of macros, compile times tend to increase a lot for rust projects because it creates a fat binary, whereas it works fine for a mountain of dependencies i

It depends. I, as a freelancer, am required to ask for a VAT tax but my clients can balance out the VAT tax for the services they buy from me with the VAT they ask from their clients. Personal labour in the sense of employment is exempt fro

I think it should be obvious that unions are not the only factor contributing to salaries. For instance: Average salary for tech in Germany is roughly twice as high as in Spain, even though they are working in the same market zone and have
