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

Valve has released a 25th anniversary update for Half-Life.

Half-Life is free to own on Steam until November 20, 2023 10AM PT / 1PM ET.

Overview

BRAND NEW INTERVIEWS WITH THE HL1 DEV TEAM!

We got the band back together to celebrate this anniversary, and we invited the fine people at Secret Tape to film it all happening. Getting together after all this time was the perfect opportunity to revisit the game as it existed in its earliest forms, and to talk about how and why it eventually took shape the way it did. Check out the film to see what it was like to be a part of the team, way back then.

THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY UPDATE FOR HALF-LIFE INCLUDES:

HALF-LIFE UPLINK

Originally released as a CD exclusive for magazines and hardware manufacturers, this mini-campaign was built by the Half-Life team right after the game went gold. As this was many people's first experience with Half-Life, we thought it was finally time to bundle it with the main game—no sound card purchase necessary.

4 NEW MULTIPLAYER MAPS

Built by Valve level designers, these new maps push the limits of what's possible in the Half-Life engine.

CONTAMINATION

Two-foot-thick steel doors block off access to this contaminated waste facility, which has questionable scientific goals at best. Strap on a gluon gun and roast all intruders.

POOL PARTY

Enjoy a relaxing stay at this abandoned Xen outpost built around a cluster of soothing healing pools free-floating in space. How do you breathe here? It doesn't matter!

DISPOSAL

Processing Area 3, a massive radioactive waste plant gone quiet. Tons of room for you and your colleagues to do experiments with a Tau Cannon or some hand grenades.

ROCKET FRENZY

The creaking weight of this decaying orbital satellite launch facility somehow feels familiar… If we could switch on the oxygen lines, power, and fuel, we might just be able to light this candle.

UPDATED GRAPHICS SETTINGS

Play the game the way it looked in 1998, but on a modern monitor.

Widescreen field of view!

Option to disable texture smoothing on the GL renderer!

Lighting fixes including the long-lost GL Overbright support!

Software rendering on Linux! Crisp colors, animated water, and unfiltered textures!

CONTROLLER AND STEAM NETWORKING SUPPORT

A proper gamepad config out of the box!

Added support for Steam Networking! Invite your friends or join games instantly with no fuss.

STEAM DECK SUPPORT!

We finally put our game through our own “Verified” tests, and... we failed super hard. So we fixed it! After re-testing the game, Half-Life gets to officially wear the green checkmark.

Now you can play Half-Life on the best handheld gaming computer in the world in glorious 800p with improved controls and UI.

UI SCALING SUPPORT FOR HIGHER RESOLUTIONS

The entire UI has been reworked to scale at larger screen sizes. We built most of this stuff for 640x480 CRTs and apparently some of you have upgraded since then.

RESTORED CONTENT

We brought back the classic Valve logo video with its iconic music and reskinned the menu to match the 1998 build.

IVAN THE SPACE BIKER AND PROTO-BARNEY

After all this time we finally shipped the original heroes from the alpha builds of Half-Life, available as multiplayer skins!

AS WELL AS THESE RARELY-SEEN EXTRAS!

In 1999, Valve released a CD called Half-Life: Further Data at retail stores, and we're finally including much of that content.

THREE MULTIPLAYER MAPS

Double Cross

Rust Mill

Xen DM

TWO MP PLAYER MODELS

The Half-Life: Further Data CD also included some multiplayer skins made by the original team; we've brought back this incredible skeleton (now with tintable eyes!) and fan-favorite Too Much Coffee Man.

DOZENS OF SPRAYS

While playing a bunch of multiplayer matches we kept wanting more sprays... So we grabbed several megabytes of them from the Further Data release!

BUG FIXES AND CHANGE NOTES

Native Linux Build

Added support for the software renderer.

Improved font rendering.

Many stability and behavior fixes.

Other

Localization files updated.

Miscellaneous security fixes.

Notes

The previous version of the game has been archived to a publicly visible Beta branch named "steam_legacy", with the description "Pre-25th Anniversary Build." If a mod or feature is behaving in an unexpected way, you may need to run this archived build until the issue is resolved in the default build.

We now consider this anniversary version of Half Life to be the definitive version, and the one we'll continue to support going forward. Therefore, we'll be reducing the visibility of Half Life: Source on the Steam Store. We know Half-Life: Source's assets are still being used by the Source engine community, so it'll remain available, but we'll be encouraging new Half-Life players to play this version instead.

WALLPAPERS

Celebrate 25 years of Half-life by decorating your desktop and mobile phone.

Paradox Mon - The Past (and Future) in our Present!

The Open Source Tech Festival of Phoebe city was absolutely abuzz with activity this weekend. People have come from around the world, dressed in their finest “nerd” chic. Linux’s iconic Eiscue, Tux, adorns bags, jackets, and banners as attendees make their way from panel to panel.

I have the singular honor of interviewing Professor Montague, one of our region’s foremost experts on Paradox Pokemon. He is a grizzled figure. Far older than one would expect for someone speaking on a phenomenon so recently discovered, but he seems more than comfortable as he sits down to speak with me. After introductions I, of course, begin with the foremost question on everybody’s mind.

Q: “What do Paradox Pokemon have to do with Open Source tech?”

A: “Paradox Pokemon, whether past or future have a lot to teach us. Future Paradox pokemon are the most obvious. They give us a glimpse into what we will achieve in the future. By studying future Paradox mon we can help ourselves along a bit more smoothly, hopefully avoiding whatever pitfalls we might have otherwise run into. While the relevance of past Paradox mon isn’t as clear, it is, I promise, very relevant.  The evolution of tool usage greatly parallels our relationships with the world around us, including, perhaps especially, pokemon. Technology is a tool, and tools are technology, so by studying Pokemon from the past, we can hopefully come to a greater understanding of how our own technological evolution took place.”

Q: “Do you mean to say that Pokemon are tools?”

A: “Oh certainly not! Perish the thought! Pokemon are our partners, and therefore our own progress must accommodate for their own unique physiologies. The question is not, how were the pokemon used, so much as, how do the pokemon inform the advancements we have made and will make in the future.”

Q: “Are you concerned about any sort of disruption in the timeline due to these studies?”

A: “Hardly. I think the universe is better at self-correction than we are at fouling it up! Besides which, the Purrloin is already out of the bag, so to speak. It is up to us as scientists to ensure these studies are done as safely and ethically as possible.”

Q: “Do you have a favorite Paradox Pokemon?”

A: “Perhaps a bit unoriginal, but I am quite fond of Iron Treads. It might look a bit menacing, but truthfully they’re actually awfully gentle beasts if given the right enrichment and environment.”

Q: “Do you have any advice for trainers who have, or looking to acquire a Paradox Pokemon of their own?”

A: “Good heavens! I honestly wouldn’t suggest trainers pick up any such pokemon so recently discovered. We still know so little about them! Alas, I suppose many trainers already have managed to get ahold of them.

My advice is, first of all, your local pokemon center will likely not have information specific to your Paradox mon’s physiology. They do have the resources to get answers to those questions, such as we have any, but you may be waiting a bit longer than usual during Center visits. 

Second, if your Paradox mon’s temperament seems a bit extreme, try contacting Pokeroid Central. They are a fantastic resource for the creatures, though I for one am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we can communicate with them at all!

Finally, if you find that you are unable to care for your Paradox mon, it is very VERY important that you do not simply release them! Neither should you leave them at a shelter. We still know so little about these fascinating creatures. Your local shelter may not be equipped to handle them, and releasing them into the wild could have catastrophic consequences for the ecology of your region. Instead, please take them to a Pokemon Center where they have the tools to send them to a facility that will best suit their needs.”

Q: “Thank you so much for your time, Professor. Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?”

A: “The world is wondrous and her secrets are immeasurable. In the interest of progress we can always use more curious minds to ask questions and study her mysteries. Paradox mon only scratch the surface of what there is to learn, so never stop being curious!”

//idk if @pokeroid-central is still active, but I wanted to give them a shoutout

SYSTEM ADMIN INTERVIEW QUESTIONS 24-25

Table of Content

Introduction

File Permissions

User and Group Management:

Cron Jobs

System Performance Monitoring

Package Management (Red Hat)

Conclusion

Introduction

The IT field is vast, and Linux is an important player, especially in cloud computing. This blog is written under the guidance of industry experts to help all tech and non-tech background individuals secure interviews for roles in the IT domain related to Red Hat Linux.

File Permissions

Briefly explain how Linux file permissions work, and how you would change the permissions of a file using chmod. In Linux, each file and directory has three types of permissions: read (r), write (w), and execute (x) for three categories of users: owner, group, and others. Example: You will use chmod 744 filename, where the digits represent the permission in octal (7 = rwx, 4 = r–, etc.) to give full permission to the owner and read-only permission to groups and others.

What is the purpose of the umask command? How is it helpful to control default file permissions?umask sets the default permissions for newly created files and directories by subtracting from the full permissions (777 for directories and 666 for files). Example: If you set the umask to 022, new files will have permissions of 644 (rw-r–r–), and directories will have 755 (rwxr-xr-x).

User and Group Management:

Name the command that adds a new user in Linux and the command responsible for adding a user to a group. The Linux useradd command creates a new user, while the usermod command adds a user to a specific group. Example: Create a user called Jenny by sudo useradd jenny and add him to the developer’s group by sudo usermod—aG developers jenny, where the—aG option adds users to more groups without removing them from other groups. 

How do you view the groups that a user belongs to in Linux? 

The group command in Linux helps to identify the group a user belongs to and is followed by the username. Example: To check  user John’s group: groups john

Cron Jobs

What do you mean by cron jobs, and how is it scheduled to run a script every day at 2 AM? 

A cron job is defined in a crontab file. Cron is a Linux utility to schedule tasks to run automatically at specified times. Example: To schedule a script ( /home/user/backup.sh ) to run daily at 2 AM: 0 2 * * * /home/user/backup.sh Where 0 means the minimum hour is 2, every day, every month, every day of the week.

How would you prevent cron job emails from being sent every time the job runs? 

By default, cron sends an email with the output of the job. You can prevent this by redirecting the output to /dev/null. Example: To run a script daily at 2 AM and discard its output: 0 2 * * * /home/user/backup.sh > /dev/null 2>&1   

System Performance Monitoring

How can you monitor system performance in Linux? Name some tools with their uses. 

Some of the tools to monitor the performance are: Top: Live view of system processes and usage of resource htop: More user-friendly when compared to the top with an interactive interface. vmstat: Displays information about processes, memory, paging, block IO, and                CPU usage. iostat: Showcases Central Processing Unit (CPU) and I/O statistics for devices and partitions. Example: You can use the top command ( top ) to identify processes consuming too much CPU or memory.

In Linux, how would you check the usage of disk space?

The df command checks disk space usage, and Du is responsible for checking the size of the directory/file. Example: To check overall disk space usage:  df -h The -h option depicts the size in a human-readable format like GB, MB, etc.

Package Management (Red Hat)

How do you install, update, or remove packages in Red Hat-based Linux distributions by yum command?

In Red Hat and CentOS systems, the yum package manager is used to install, update, or remove software. Install a package:  sudo yum install httpd This installs the Apache web server.  Update a package: sudo yum update httpd Remove a package:sudo yum remove httpd 

By which command will you check the installation of a package on a Red Hat system?

The yum list installed command is required to check whether the package is installed. Example: To check if httpd (Apache) is installed:  yum list installed httpd

Conclusion

The questions are designed by our experienced corporate faculty which will help you to prepare well for various positions that require Linux such as System Admin.

How to Hire a Linux Kernel Developer: Skills, Experience & Interview Questions

Linux powers everything from web servers to embedded devices, and its core lies at Linux Kernel - a crucial layer that demands deep expertise for modification, maintenance, and optimization. For tech companies that are building high-performance systems, device drivers, or custom operating environments the decision to hire software developers proficient in Linux Kernel can be a strategic move. 

But kernel development is a niche skill and to hire the right developer requires you to know what to look for and to ask the right questions. In this article, we will cover how you can do it. 

Finding the Right Low-Level Expert for High-Performance Systems

Kernel engineers bridge the gap between user-level apps and hardware by working at the lowest software layer. Frequently, when hiring Linux kernel developers, you often want to:

Patch or modify the kernel to work with particular hardware.

Create or troubleshoot device drivers.

Boost system efficiency or lower delay.

Assure mission-critical systems' security and stability.

This isn't how applications are usually developed. It calls for a solid understanding of memory management, operating systems, and the nuances of C programming.

Key Skills to Look For

Give these crucial areas top priority while vetting applicants:

Proficiency in C: Since C is used for nearly all kernel development, in-depth expertise is non negotiable.

Kernel module experience: Applicants should be able to write, compile, and load kernel modules.

Tools for Debugging and Profiling: It's crucial to be familiar with programs like gdb, perf, and ftrace.

Knowledge of OS Internals: Key ideas include scheduling, memory management, and I/O systems.

Version Control & Patch Submissions: It is highly advantageous to contribute to open-source projects or the mainline Linux kernel.

A candidate's ability to communicate effectively across time zones and accurately document their work is also essential if you're looking to hire remote developers. 

Where to Find Talent

Using conventional methods to hire Linux kernel developers isn't always simple. These engineers frequently contribute to specialized communities like Git repositories and kernel mailing groups, or they work on open-source projects.

Some tech companies decide to collaborate with organizations that focus on low-level software development or embedded technologies. Others seek to hire programmers who possess a solid foundation in C and OS, then train them in kernel-specific techniques.

Interview Questions to Ask

After you've found a good applicant, probe further with focused questions:

What distinguishes user space from kernel space?

How would a production system's kernel panic be debugged?

Could you describe the Linux kernel's memory allocation mechanism?

Have you submitted bug fixes or patches to the mainline kernel?

How are dependencies between kernel modules managed?

What function does the Linux kernel's scheduler serve?

Asking them to describe a recent kernel-related project, including its objectives, tools, and methods for testing and validating their work, is another option.

Summing Up

You must know exactly what your system needs and what kernel experience will provide it in order to hire Linux kernel engineers. The correct hire adds dependability, speed, and profound technical understanding to everything from driver creation to system optimization.

These developers are essential to tech companies creating scalable and secure infrastructure. Whether you're looking to hire remote developers or in-house developers, a careful, skills-based strategy can help you find the best fit.

Agent of Veil Offers Unique Gaming Experience

Agent of Veil 3D puzzle adventure game is due to evolve onto Linux with Windows PC. Thanks to the creative minds at Hellion Red, this title brings something totally fresh and unexpected. Due to make its way onto Steam. Get ready, gamers — there’s a new indie title sneaking onto Steam, and it’s not your usual 3D stealth shooter adventure or puzzle platformer. It’s called Agent of Veil, and it’s got everything: spy drama, weird puzzles, mysterious coworkers, and yes… passive-aggressive office notes.

I am a big fan of open source software and am developing Agent of Veil with the porting to Linux in mind. I will focus on testing the game on multiple platforms.

Hellion Red shared in an email that they haven’t tested a Linux build yet, which is why it isn’t listed on the Steam page for now. But here’s the good news — they’re currently focusing on getting the demo ready, and once that’s complete, they plan to start testing the title on multiple platforms, including Linux. So hang tight — more platform support is due to be on the way soon. Made by indie studio Hellion Red, Agent of Veil throws you into a spy interview unlike anything you’ve ever seen. You play as a potential recruit for a super-secret agency called VEIL. Sounds great already, right? But this isn't just about sneaking around and defusing bombs — your first mission is surviving the world’s strangest job interview.

Agent of Veil Official Announcement Trailer

You’ll have a guide (and maybe judgement) by Ghost, VEIL’s digital assistant with a sharp tongue and a lot of secrets. Ghost will ask you strange interview questions, challenge you with brain-bending puzzles, and maybe help you—if you don’t annoy them too much. This title is all about solving clever puzzles—classic spy stuff like ciphers and codes, mixed with more off-the-wall challenges. Each puzzle you crack gets you deeper into the weird world of VEIL, where not everything is as it seems. And yes, there will be mysterious files, hidden rooms, and secret messages to decode. Expect your brain to stretch in the best way possible in Agent of Veil. But here’s the twist: your new workplace is just as puzzling as the missions themselves. There’s gossip, drama, strange notes left on desks, and some shady stuff happening behind the scenes. Who’s stealing lunches? Who left that encrypted message on the printer? And why is everyone acting so suspicious? It’s like The Office meets James Bond, with a dash of puzzle madness thrown in. So, if you like games that make you think, laugh, and ask “Wait, what just happened?” — Agent of Veil should be on your radar. This is more than just a spy title. It’s a mind game wrapped in mystery, served with a side of satire. Agent of Veil 3D puzzle adventure is coming soon to Steam. So don’t forget to hit that wishlist button and get ready to join the weirdest spy agency ever.
