Not sure if this is still the case, but at least before MIT didn't accept people outside MIT to their Master's programs for some majors, instead you would have had to apply directly to a PhD program

In my experience that's not the case, but of course varies company by company

Look for series B+ startups in the U.S. that are aggressively scaling their teams. There is a shortage of good senior software engineers, and these startups are desperate and have the money, so many are offering base salaries that are aroun

I wonder why Chrome even has such setting, like what's the use case for it?

As a Finn, working at an U.S. company, small talk is something I really struggled with and still don't fully understand. The people I interact with it seems like we have found sort of a middle ground, where people obviously still ask &

No, I think they said that they think that "working" towards an idea, a moonshot, wouldn't feel like working

Render had some pretty bad outages (10+ hours) and couple shorter ones just couple months ago, so it's not perfect either. But anyways I have also found it better than Heroku for my projects, it's even easier to setup than Heroku

This video is from the fifth largest city in Finland, so that hardly counts as a rural area with long distances This is what the roads looks like in the rural areas during winter https://www.google.com/search?q=maantie+talve

It depends on what your goals are. People applying to intern positions have insanely widely varying skill levels. Some already have some previous experience and/or extensive side projects, some may have just started programming in univ

I had a funny experience with DataDog. I applied to a new grad position. Few months go by, and then I receive an email to schedule an onsite, well that seemed odd since I hadn't done any coding test, recruiter call or anything else. I

Obviously sucks, had a similar experience as an SWE intern and new grad. I even got a written offer which was then later rescinded because of COVID. They said they will honor it for the next cycle, but of course they didn't. After reac

Yeah that's true, but still (of course depending on your age and location) it's enough to live in many many places without having to work again

You underestimate how a sleep people are at the wheel or just busy with their own stuff, at least in smaller companies, just no time to think "Let's push this junior out, he is doing too well". Not attending meetings could st

There are many kinds of internships that can be considered good I think. And it also partly depends what your goals and/or aspirations are. Types that come to mind that I would consider good: - Big brand names (like FAANG or some Unico

I wouldn't call this photorealistic, it's more like a poor tinted dashcam realistic. It's impressive that it's happening real time etc., but just looks really bad and the colors are off just like in a dashcam video.

Most banks in Europe have APIs and there is also some kind of directive/law that requires banks to have at least some kind of API. I guess that's not that surprising since European consumer banks and whole banking system are miles

What about storing the older things in some slower backup service that's slow to access but cheap? If the user eventually accesses those some day you would kick of some background job to get them fresh again. Not super UX friendly of c

At a glance "Pirate Bay is the ultimate literary critic." makes sense, but it's not the whole truth. But there are bunch of things that should be also considered such as number of books available on Pirate Bay, type of books

Looking outside, YC has also been a key indicator that a startup might have higher chance to succeed than a typical startup. When scaling to hundreds/thousands of companies per batch, I feel like that indicator will no longer be as val

Most shipping companies in the stock market have rocketed in the past 2-3 months, so that opportunity has passed I think.

Yeah, in trendy areas near the city, a big, modern house can cost 1M euros. But there are much cheaper ones as well in the suburbs. Also agree that I don't understand who can afford to buy such houses with the average salaries being so

If only they would also provide F1 and OPT visas, I would be all-in. It seems like such a great program, but hard to see the value when most of the local employers probably don't even know what it is :/
