I see a lot of sentiment within techum spaces about not understanding how tech actually works and considering tech divine or whatever and like. I really do get it's pretty intimidating, but you can learn how your machines work. In fact I think a lot of you would appreciate your objects even more than you do by learning about how they actually function. Demystify tech in your minds NOW!!!

what's it like studying CS?? im pretty confused if i should choose CS as my major xx

hi there!

first, two "misconceptions" or maybe somewhat surprising things that I think are worth mentioning:

there really isn't that much "math" in the calculus/arithmetic sense*. I mostly remember doing lots of proofs. don't let not being a math wiz stop you from majoring in CS if you like CS

you can get by with surprisingly little programming - yeah you'll have programming assignments, but a degree program will teach you the theory and concepts for the most part (this is where universities will differ on the scale of theory vs. practice, but you'll always get a mix of both and it's important to learn both!)

*: there are some sub-fields where you actually do a Lot of math - machine learning and graphics programming will have you doing a lot of linear algebra, and I'm sure that there are plenty more that I don't remember at the moment. the point is that 1) if you're a bit afraid of math that's fine, you can still thrive in a CS degree but 2) if you love math or are willing to be brave there are a lot of cool things you can do!

I think the best way to get a good sense of what a major is like is to check out a sample degree plan from a university you're considering! here are some of the basic kinds of classes you'd be taking:

basic programming courses: you'll knock these out in your first year - once you know how to code and you have an in-depth understanding of the concepts, you now have a mental framework for the rest of your degree. and also once you learn one programming language, it's pretty easy to pick up another one, and you'll probably work in a handful of different languages throughout your degree.

discrete math/math for computer science courses: more courses that you'll take early on - this is mostly logic and learning to write proofs, and towards the end it just kind of becomes a bunch of semi-related math concepts that are useful in computing & problem solving. oh also I had to take a stats for CS course & a linear algebra course. oh and also calculus but that was mostly a university core requirement thing, I literally never really used it in my CS classes lol

data structures & algorithms: these are the big boys. stacks, queues, linked lists, trees, graphs, sorting algorithms, more complicated algorithms… if you're interviewing for a programming job, they will ask you data structures & algorithms questions. also this is where you learn to write smart, efficient code and solve problems. also this is where you learn which problems are proven to be unsolvable (or at least unsolvable in a reasonable amount of time) so you don't waste your time lol

courses on specific topics: operating systems, Linux/UNIX, circuits, databases, compilers, software engineering/design patterns, automata theory… some of these will be required, and then you'll get to pick some depending on what your interests are! I took cybersecurity-related courses but there really are so many different options!

In general I think CS is a really cool major that you can do a lot with. I realize this was pretty vague, so if you have any more questions feel free to send them my way! also I'm happy to talk more about specific classes/topics or if you just want an answer to "wtf is automata theory" lol

hmmm thinking about bowie,,, thinking about how much it would have to learn when it finally gets a human body. thinking about so many reflexes that would have to be literally programmed into her just so she could somewhat function in its new body.,,,

This blog will outline the main advantages of acquiring simple computer skills and explain how they might assist you in life both personally and professionally if you are asking yourself.

anyway the thing that brings jake back to the surface in this au is rich. everything else might be vaguely familiar like automatically having a go to order for places jason hasn't been to, already knowing his way around this town in jersey even though jason hasn't been there, christine's face is so familiar but surely that's just because he's seen her in other things

but rich?

seeing rich unlocks something

we're taking a break from my usual posting so i can show you the goofy images ive created as college assignments for illustrator. my teacher's mistake was letting me have free reign this is how we ended up here (funny enough they still got accepted)

[itsahotminuteinbetween]

Oh right i never actually did anything about the engineer au did i

[francy-sketches]

I'm gonna have to work on my final project non stop for like a month straight bc I procrastinated on it too much fuck my stupid baka life

Basic Computer Course Overview

A basic computer course provides an introduction to essential computer skills, including operating systems, file management, internet browsing, email communication, and software applications like word processors, spreadsheets, and presentations. It is designed to help individuals, especially beginners, build confidence in using computers for everyday tasks, improving their digital literacy. The course emphasizes practical skills for personal, academic, and professional use, ensuring that learners can navigate digital tools effectively and boost productivity in a variety of contexts.

Participants also learn to use basic software applications like word processors, spreadsheets, and presentation tools. The course is ideal for beginners, providing hands-on experience to improve digital literacy and build confidence in using technology for personal, academic, or professional purposes. By the end, learners are more comfortable with computers and capable of navigating various digital tasks efficiently.

asdfsdf I apologies for the low activity the past few days/weeks, I've been struggling mentally quite a lot due to my neighbor situation, my computer breaking down once + failing several exams in a row so uhm…. yeah

dw tho I will be back to complete art once I feel better, I just have A LOT going on atm and need to figure out how to solve all of it 😔

Regarding commission slots I might need to wait with opening them until summer instead since life has decided that throwing shit at me is it's new favorite hobby lmao 💀

but I will let you all know for sure once I'm available, I just don't want to take on anything and then have ppl wait bc I have to prioritize other things irl 😔

Just sat through a 2 hour introduction lecture that could literally have been an email

Actually it is SO weird to me to remember that I was an engineering student and that later on I had been pursuing a minor in statistics

I may be a IT & com person in the end, but I do have the foundations of engineering and statistics in my brain too. Wild !

our mother is so poisoned by propaganda that she literally called us sick for saying “this country is built on harming people and stealing land, do you really think that our government isn’t corrupt ?” like... and you say WE don’t know basic us history 💀💀
