Hey! Computer Science B.S. Passing By. CS, Like The Last Reply Mentioned, Is A Science. A Lot Of Schools

Hey! Computer Science B.S. passing by. CS, like the last reply mentioned, is a science. A lot of schools will lump it in with the college of engineering (e.g. the one I went to), which isn’t necessarily wrong, but ultimately the discipline is a natural science.

In fact one could argue that hardware computers aren’t even necessary to perform the activities of pure computer science: people like Leonhard Euler were discovering its principles long before the first transistor had been made. Heck, even if your laundry-sorting process is rigid enough you could call it computer science.

I think of computer science as the study of the ways to move and store data. The best way to accomplish those activities happens to be with computers, so we concern ourselves with applications on the creations of our computer engineering friends.

hey! could you help me with the difference between computer science and computer engineering?

hi! my background is experimental physics, so you might be better off asking someone who is actually from one of those disciplines. but my understanding is that computer science focuses on software (eg data structures, coming up with algorithms) while computer engineering is a marriage of cs and electrical engineering, which involves more work on the electronics/hardware side of things. because of this, you'd need to learn a lot more physics for a computer engineering degree.

Big things are happening, people. Teammates are frequently coming to me for help on their projects.

Do I always know the answers to their questions? Absolutely not. But they THINK I know the answers. Which actually means more, if you don’t think about it.

Now that I have a degree in computer science, I will insist that I am a scientist and must wear a lab coat and goggles while I work as a software developer.

Typing a paper for class and one of my subheadings reads, ”What’s the point of working?” And I didn’t think through how much that would affect my ability to write the rest of the essay.

I have so much respect for the ToString() method of Pandas Dataframes in Python.

If you’re wondering why, it’s because I’m currently trying to make a halfway decent depiction of a C# matrix multidimensional array that just puts my hashkeys in the right places and things are not going well at all.

You’d think after all the time I’ve spent on front-end dev I’d be able to at least write efficient CSS. You’d think.

I do hope I’m not the only one who takes 8 hours to decide on a font stack. And it still never feels exactly right.

Raise your hand if you spend more time criticizing yourself for inefficient use of keyboard shortcuts than you would actually save by using them

There are only 2 options when I’m writing my commit messages:

1. “I haven’t pushed in a while so here are a LOT of changes to at least 7 files.”

2. “I hate myself because I worked for 2 hours tonight and as I write this message I realize that all I have to show for that time is a 3 line for loop.”

CSS, the most toxic lover

Oh CSS,

I have not a single guess

how one can hope to ever

with you win success.

Sweet CSS, 

you leave my sanity a mess

and my div tags all in shambles

while I trudge on with hopelessness.

Bitter CSS,

though you display indifference

as you treat me miserably

to you I will always return, nonetheless.
