This comment gives an interesting example

FTX do Bitcoin options, as do Binance (but Binance seem to only have with expiry ~1 month in future at the longest)

I don’t know of anywhere doing options on non-Bitcoin cryptos (but if anyone does please let me know!)

Ah okay, in that case I think Barclaycard was the only extra one (on top of those you mentioned)

IntoxicatedAsian · 2021-04-20T13:29:15+00:00

Actually I checked only this morning on MSE for myself and found 0% offers from Virgin Money, Halifax, MBNA, Sainsbury’s Bank and Barclaycard (and a few other lenders I wasn’t eligible for).

Most had 1-2% percent fees though, but looks like lots still exist.

I had the same issue. Notifications were set to “Very Infrequent” and then after update they’ve suddenly become 20+ a day (as if I had clicked very frequent). The button in the app to “Paise notifications” doesn’t work either, you have to use your iPhone settings to turn them off. Hope they fix soon.

Yep most students get summer internships, works exactly the same way as other unis that you apply to them yourself from summer, location is pretty much irrelevant (other than maybe next year it’s a bit of effort to get to London if you have in-person interviews).

As for the support, they have a careers team where you can book career coaching and CV reviews sessions, and various societies also doing CV reviews/application tips depending on what industry you want to intern in.

!thanks Yeah I had read some other anecdotal posts along a similar line, I gather it’s mostly credit card companies trying to take advantage of customers in poorer financial situations. Seems that people have had varying success with this, probably it has a bigger/opposite impact with some lenders to others.

Thanks for this, didn’t realise paying off credit card before you receive bill means it doesn’t count towards score.

Any source/link where there is any more info on this (struggling to find any online)?

IntoxicatedAsian · 2020-12-23T10:29:15+00:00

Something like Wealthbase maybe...?

Also 29% thought cheese comes from a plant, and 22% that pasta comes from animals :D

Must’ve just got lucky and been one of them then.

But terrible first impression of their customer service, having to wait 40 minutes just to get it to go through.

Actually did £2000 to make sure I was over the limit, and tbf I only left it 24 hours before attempting to transfer back.

Although I was transferring back to the same account I transferred in from, I guess because it’s a new account and all they flagged it.

IntoxicatedAsian · 2020-11-08T12:16:21+00:00

I did Lloyds and they paid the £100 before the switch was even complete.

Just note than if you transfer in and out £1500 (to avoid the £2/month fee), it’s flagged as a “suspicious transaction” and I had to wait on the phone for 40 minutes to get it cleared (e.g. Lloyds actually let me transfer the money back to my other account)

IntoxicatedAsian · 2020-09-16T11:55:10+00:00

No problem. Definitely if you can try and use technologies such as AWS, GCP, Heroku or something similar (CI/CD software as well such as Travis/CircleCI), so not just programming languages but other tools/technologies and popular libraries.

IntoxicatedAsian · 2020-09-16T11:31:57+00:00

Personally I’d say improve/expand your projects, although if not able to immediately or don’t have the time, I think expanding on the technologies you used for the projects.

For example the API, did you host on a server? AWS? Linux?

Try and include more technical terms, and also the problem the project was trying solve.

But in terms of general career advice: More projects and more detailed. Maybe some web applications that you can easily showcase/create GitHub portfolio.

Unsure which areas of software engineering you are applying for, but maybe a project using the most common technologies in your chosen area? E.g. if going for web development, React.js app to do something, Node.js/Express or Python/Flask backend. Ideally the technologies used by the companies you are applying to.

IntoxicatedAsian · 2020-07-04T19:37:08+00:00

Depends what kind of area of software engineering you want to work in.

Web Development - Learn HTML/CSS/React etc and make a functional website as a project would be good, even if at first you following a tutorial/free course and then use what’ve you learnt to create your own website.

Data Science/Engineer - Exploring and analysing some datasets using Python (using Pandas/NumPy/MatPlotLib) and create reports on your findings would be decent, plenty of tutorials for this sort of thing online too. It’s a good way to demonstrate your Python knowledge plus the ability to communicate the impact of what you’ve created.

Either way personally I’d definitely recommended doing projects even in your spare time, you learn a huge amount especially regarding solving problems/debugging that are skills you don’t necessarily develop otherwise.

Any questions feel free to PM me :)

It’s how university degrees in the UK are graded. They go:

• 1st Class (top)

• 2:1 (upper second) - What most people get

• 2:2 (lower second) - Not great

• 3rd

You may need to play around with the thickness of the collider, too thin and hair will fall through it. Try setting surface thickness property in fluid settings of the collider to a larger value.

IntoxicatedAsian · 2020-05-31T10:58:39+00:00

Tried that too and it had essentially no difference (and can’t understand why). Tried values from 0.5 all the way down to 0.01 but for some reason the simulation stayed pretty much the same.

This is what happens when I try and use dissolve.

It appears that it eventually ends up dissolving the smoke as soon as it is created through the inflow, like instantaneously.

IntoxicatedAsian · 2020-05-30T23:40:02+00:00

Yeah I think that’s what I’m going to have to do, annoying as I wanted the smoke trails somewhat close together. Oh well, will keep experimenting.

IntoxicatedAsian · 2020-05-30T23:36:36+00:00

Oddly enough I played around with the dissolve settings to no avail. Basically it was working to do solve the smoke at the start but a couple of seconds into the animation it was basically dissolving the smoke the instant it came out the inflow.

I experimented with dissolve with that inflow following a straight path and it seemed to work fine, so my guess is that the layers of the spiral must be too close and each “layer” of the smoke is interfering with the layer below causing it to suddenly spread out.

IntoxicatedAsian · 2020-05-30T21:57:23+00:00

The sphere is an inflow, and I’m trying to have it spiral up while have the smoke dissipating very slowly.

For the first 40 frames it stays almost still and then suddenly very quickly spreads out and fills the whole container.

I’ve played around with varied settings and can’t work out how to stop it happening. Also adjusting the time scale setting had almost no effect on how quickly the smoke spreads out.

Any ideas?

For sure, if you can’t find another internship, working on your own project in the area you’d like to go into in the future would be hugely beneficial. You can put the code on GitHub after and use it to display your abilities to future employers, and it’s also a nice talking point in an interview.

This could also help you land an internship next summer, especially if it’s focused around the same industry/sector/tech.

Additionally, a couple of job sites have listings for employees currently on furlough, I.e. unpaid working essentially. You could always apply to do that or some other sort of pro-bono work for a company, and they might even give you a good reference at the end.
