It depends on the model, some universities are easy to get in but have weed-out classes, some are hard to get in but comparatively easy to finish, and some are both hard to get in and hard to finish.

Discrete maths back in my days was one of those almost universal weed-out classes which got rid of people with limited abstract thinking ability who weren't willing or able to get over that with hard work. Very heavy correlation between how well you did in that class and core CS subjects.


That the university replaced the teacher suggests that's not how the university viewed things.


Garmin has just introduced paid subscription a few days ago.


Are there any open-source fitness trackers?


Additional thrust when maneuvering should be welcome.


Hetzner doesn't even have proper IAM or virtual networking, it's like saying a guy with a bicycle is a replacement for the postal system.


There is no single large market in Europe, everything is fractured by language and different cultures in each country. Monetizing it is also difficult.


All licences restricting commercial use will need to be cleared, that's the point.


Yes… but from my point of view, if there is an alternative solution without those restrictions, I’ll go with that. I’d only consider a solution with such restrictions if its other advantages were so compelling as to overcome that (and even then, if one has to ask legal, it isn’t guaranteed they’ll say “yes”)


Yes, that is the point.


Digital services are a prime target for reciprocal tariffs from the EU.


For the goal of the interview - showing your knowledge and skills - you are failing miserably. People know what LLMs can do, the interview is about you.


One difficult to replicate thing is visibility rules and rollbacks, with postgres you can abort and your changes are hidden, no such luxuries worth this architecture unless you make it very complex with partial states, drafts or something similar.


It seems like you get a promo for changing names of things. The more convoluted, the higher you get.


I wonder if it's partly about the well-known phenomenon where new product people come in or are promoted and feel they have to assert their dominance by making a change just for the sake of making a change.


It's probably easier to get ahead by saying you launched a "new product", than "Office release 974".
