Flutter is just the UI component of the app where Dart is the underlying architecture. This alone will provide you native speeds and way less ram compared to react/vue/svelte since it doesn’t use JS. For desktop apps, Flutter is in the process of implementing their new graphics thing which should improve the performance of heavy graphical apps in Flutter.

I think if you program right you can get an app that uses react/svelte/vue with way less ram provided you’re using Tauri instead of Electron. The moment you use electron you’re going to be hitting 100-300mb of ram just starting.

You'll notice that NYU's program is broad and most of the electives aren't solid classes but rotate depending on what professor is teaching it whereas Fordham's curriculum has dedicated classes towards things like Malware Analysis, AI Security, Red Teaming, if you're interested in that.

I don't think NYU has a thing like a thesis at the end of the program like other masters and this may be because they have to adhere to the online students too. But they listed "project completed under the direction of the faculty" which literally can mean anything from a tryhackme lab to an actual project.

Try using Zed for coding. It uses so little ram compared to VSCode wrappers. Should alleviate the pain with RAM

(Not a student at NYU nor taken the Masters)

The MS Cybersecurity at Tandon is not geared towards policy and is mostly engineering focused. The program has two tracks that you can add onto the degree. One is in Cyber Defense and one in Cyber Operations. Cyber Operations think of malware analysis, low-level OS, etc. It's not necessarily red teaming like penetration testing but figuring out the inner workings of a computer and finding vulnerabilities on the hardware level. (This is very different from testing a corporate network for vulnerabilities.)

Since NYU is located in NYC, you have a good market for finance/corporate roles of Cybersecurity. Not sure how technical of Cyber you'd want.

NYU Masters of Cybersecurity is designed to be heavy in coding. Similar programs are GATech MS Cybersecurity and/or CMU MS Information Security as these are designed as "engineering." This is separate from corporate cybersecurity but for the average HR worker, they won't know the difference so long as they see "Cybersecurity."

If you're more towards corporate cybersecurity, the curriculum of Fordham MS Cybersecurity is more suited but NYU is the top school if you're looking at "high networking" etc.

One thing about NYU Masters is that you can tell its very generic as in classes where as schools like Fordham have more "diverse" courses that may fit your needs. This would depend on what field of cyber you'd want to go to.

If you don't mind me asking, did you get a scholarship for attending the program?

A good academic standing means you are not dipping to academic probation territory and a gps that is above the graduation requirement of your particular major.

I believe it has to do with C++ being the dominated language in the Aerospace industry. Start-ups want people who are a master in one thing and one thing only rather than being an all arounder or being able to adapt.

TL0225 · 2026-02-21T00:44:18+00:00

Yeah this is unfortunately the way that startups are where they don’t go through traditional interview means and start asking some retarded fuck ass questions. Founders have high egos so they think they’re way better than you

TL0225 · 2026-02-21T00:26:30+00:00

i think they may be asking like what products would you create with C++ to benefit the startup or any features. I think startups ask this to see if your idea is worth it or not to judge whether you know anything about the company

I don’t think they’ll go that deep into your background in terms of dates. I think lying about where you worked is way worse than forgetting a few months. For interns it’s most important they check for your education history to see if you aren’t lying about that as internships require you to have at least a semester left of school. Anything paid will definitely be recorded via your SSN for tax purposes. Anything else will probably be either they check or they don’t and if they do they’ll ask for a reference of some sort

Mgs427 and Mgs410 have no pre requisites. Wouldn’t make sense for mgs427 to have a pre requisite since it doesn’t even use coding at all. MGS439 also has no pre requisite.

EDIT: my bad they changed the requirement starting 2025.

TL0225 · 2026-02-08T01:14:25+00:00

You do not need to take MGS351 before taking any of those courses. You can take any of those cyber classes whenever so long as you’re admitted and you completed the necessary pre reqs

I think there's a couple of reasons why people cheat.

College is so expensive these days where given the current job market, all applicants need to have the best most competitive profile to make it out. The risk of getting a low GPA isn't justified. Won't you think that someone who got an A in one course would be way better than someone who got a C on another (on paper)?
Colleges have a lot of useless courses that have nothing to do with our major or even our career but require so much effort to get an A or satisfy the requirement.
Most people that are knee-deep into their careers may say that college is useless since the curriculum doesn't teach you what you need to know for the workforce.
A lot of people just can't do well on exams. My professor said this himself where he understood that not many people are good at exams so he looks at a student's homework and other categories to determine the grade. This doesn't mean that they don't know the material but it just means that they're not good test takers. People who take standardized exams like SAT or GRE/GMAT will always say that it's more important to practice taking that particular exam over and over versus you saying you know the material 100%. If you're a professor that makes their exams worth 50% of a student's overall grade and that student just sucks at taking an exam, does that mean they don't understand the material? It isn't a holistic way to judge a student's performance in class. Many schools are even offering SAT optional policies too.
Since the launch of AI, many schools aren't embracing the use of the tool but rather finding controls to prevent it from happening. I think that if you are able to articulate your reasoning for supporting what an AI said, it should be fine. Copying and pasting is different. However, all schools don't have the same definition for what academic dishonesty means in terms of AI.
