Well, it is my impression that internships are just a lot rarer than they are in the US, for example. Many students go through a Bachelors and Masters degree without ever doing one, me included. Most internships are done by students doing a

Great to hear! I understand adding listings from around the globe is difficult, I was honestly somewhat surprised to find any listings at all. Good luck with the project, I hope it will be useful for many, even if not for me.

Some quick feedback specific to the listings I got when I plugged in "Germany": almost everything I found is internships. You mention in a comment elsewhere that intern is the new entry-level, but over here internships are almost

Sure you can do that. But now you need a Mac, probably an iOS device and pay $99/yr to Apple. If you're just providing a small one-off solution for a particular problem that you're not monetizing, the above may pose a serious

Wonderful to hear, thank you for the reply! Given this I'll be sure to pitch this at work, I think it looks like a wonderful solution. While I do take a lot of interest in law, I am by no means a lawyer. Personally, I would feel good a

Everyone seems to be talking about the name, and for the life of me I can't figure out why. I'm well aware of GNU screen, but it hadn't come to mind until I saw all the comments. Keep the name—or don't; maybe ask someone

> CS doesn’t teach you how to program (anybody can learn that). CS teaches you how to think critically and analyze problems. And in my opinion that's perfectly fine. On the other side many jobs that are "just" programming

QWERTZ Bluetooth keyboards work, so I can type most things I need if I ever need to write German, which is honestly rather rare. But I still need to deal with a significantly different keyboard layout and it's just neither fun nor prod

It is, but the writing and app experience was so much worse when I last tried it. If I were okay with other hardware, I could use a Surface, which requires no workarounds for almost all of my work scenarios. But I'd rather carry two de

Thank you for the pointers! I have Blink installed on my iPad and use it occasionally to restart a system service or similar, but any serious work that requires typing is impossible for me due to the keyboard layout issue. I use the Neo-lay

I really like the iPad form factor and carry one around with me for almost all work and study because I really like the digital writing experience on that. Much more than on a Surface, for example. So I wanted to make this work, I really wa

If you should get into this situation again refer them to §§30 et seq. ZKG [0]. §31 specifically states that anyone with legal residence in the EU must be allowed to open a "basic" account. Occasionally banks will list this as a s

I recently had a graph that dot refused to render to PNG since its maximum buffer was too small. A scaling factor that made it fit also made it unreadable. We rendered to a 500MB SVG and opened it in Firefox, which worked quite well after t

by Cu3PO42 7y ago
I disagree. I used to use Safari with Firefox Focus as a content filter and it worked perfectly fine for me. Other content blockers offer a ton of customization and should fit just about anyone.

I am actually weirdly excited about operator<=>. It doesn't allow you to do anything fundamentally different or new, but it does help to reduce what is essentially boilerplate code. And honestly C++ has enough of that already eve

SoftBank only bought ARM in 2016, they are by origin very much from the UK and I don't think anyone is going to argue that ARM wasn't relevant before 2016. DeepMind was also founded in the UK and later bought by Google. Their HQ r

I can't speak to the job market in the UK, but in Germany there doesn't seem to be a great difference based on anecdotal evidence from friends. There's absolutely a chance this is incorrect as well, because discussing wages i

I see, thank you for clarifying. It's true that some people do use Europe to mean EU, I hadn't taken that possibility into account. In my experience, this is mostly done in sentences like "In Europe something or another is al

ARM, for example? But let's assume for a second that the only relevant companies are US-based. A lot of them also hire in other countries and it is my understanding that compensation isn't what it is in the US either.

Unfortunately Zurich may also compare on cost of living. Maybe that's all there is to it, but I somehow doubt that.

I realise this is tangential to the original topic, but this notion that the UK is not a part of Europe (and therefore mentioned separately) seems really weird to me. They can leave the EU as much as they want, but it doesn't change th

I must admit I always feel weird when I see numbers like that mentioned for software engineers. In Germany a more reasonable number with a few years of experience might be in the €50-55k ballpark. Granted, the cost of living is significantl

I think the parent is right. The EU has limited the interchange fee for credit cards (like Visa and MasterCard where the scheme and merchant bank are separate entities) to 0.3%. They did not make a statement about whether we like cashless o

I've definitely had the last 4 digits printed out on a receipt. While it is conceivable that those were transmitted separately I find that somewhat unlikely. I believe tokenization is a feature that is ultimately coming, but not quite

Yes, yes, it was! To be honest the fact that the fan turns off during normal desktop operation is almost a bigger deal to me these days, though. I recently looked at my upgrade options and nothing in a price range that I can justify is real

I didn't change the GPU in this upgrade. I was using a 1060 with the 2500k and am using the 1060 now. Before that I had a Radeon 6970, that I bought with the 2500k, but I upgraded that in 2016.
