My experience at community college 4 years ago

So I'm going to be the german who is going to chime in.

The german system works like this:

The frist 4 years of education you'll got to Grundschule where you learn the basics.

Then you'll get sorted in the 3 different "high school" types.

- Hauptschule

  - This type of school is the least academically demanding and has a lot more 
    hands on classes like woodworking/cooking and the likes.
  
  - This take usualy 5 years to complete.
- Realschule
  - This is the middle ground school it offers a bit of both worlds

  - this takes 6 years to complete.
- Gymnasium
  - This is the more acadamiclly focus type of school, with stuff like AP 
    classes.

  - have to learn a thrid language 

  - takes 8 or 9 years
But after you complete Hauptschule or Realschule you can go do an apprenticeship or add on some more school years to get the better school diploma.

Appranticeships can be in trades, manufacturing, IT or office jobs. There is also Duales Studium where you go to collage but also work half time at a company.

As an example take my school journy: I was sorted into the Hauptschule.

After I completet that school, I added 2 more years school time so i get a Realschul depolma, as a bonus the school I went to also touth me the frist year of electricians apprenticeship.

After that I got a apprianticeship to become a software developer which took me 3 years to complete.

Unreal Engine 5 is now available 4 years ago

Not very moddable at all. I tried to go down that rabbit hole once, but i didn't find any guides on how to do it. The best stuff i could find are for hacking it and not modding.

On most modding comunities they tell you to stay away from it.

Some usefull tools i found: https://github.com/panzi/u4pak This is used to unpack the game files. https://www.gildor.org/en/projects/umodel with this tool you can view some models and other assets in the game files.

Ask HN: Any weird tips for weight loss? 4 years ago

This I've noticed that since I have a car and don't walk as much anymore I have put on a lot of weight. Because I just didn't get my 10.000 Steps a day in anymore, because I didn't have to walk to the train station and to the grocery store any more.

I don't want to learn your query language (2018) 5 years ago

Their is actually a programing language that has this feature. It's called ABAP[1] and it has build in SQL Support with OpenSQL[2]. OpenSQL is just a SQL dialect which is translated to the equivalent SQL needed for the DB specific underlying DB. Sadly ABAP is a proprietary programming language only available on the SAP Netweaver stack.

Patio11's Law: The software economy is bigger than you think 6 years ago

Same experience here I work as a SAP Developer at a €14bn multinational.

I had to work in the store for a month and got good feed back from the workers there.

We try the smooth the user experience with web apps for tasks that are done often so it's not to confusing.

But the impotent data entry task like order entry and so on are done the old interface because it's more efficient.

Lidl to Launch Rival to AWS 6 years ago

And that's at places like Berlin which are cheaper to live than SV.

But most of the Jobs aren't in cities like Berlin. Most of them are at there HQ in Heilbronn or near it. So the cost of living is even lower.

What's SAP? 6 years ago

This generation has options for creating full custom software faster than one can configure an ERP.

No we can't do that, because the real world is messy. I currently work on a SAP system and the amount of localization and customization that was done for you is inexpensive for big corp. And you know that SAP will last the next 30 years, you don't know that about your Framework of choice.
