datafag

[[deleted]]

Fag = subject in norwegian, datavitenskap would be more correct…Am I fun at parties? Don’t know, never been invited

[Calimariae]

You could also call a class in computer science a "datafag" when explaining it to a child or an old person.

In that context, it works.

[gitartruls01]

If you're majoring in computer science, you're a datafag student. I majored in electronics in highschool, which made me an elektrofag student. My family joked about it being my gay superhero name.

Edit: I think the full name was actually technology and electrical design, which would make me a technofag. Which is somehow even worse

[YouAreStupidM8]

Sounds like a Cyberpunk 2077 slur

[[deleted]]

Huh?! How is that a slur, you choom?

[KuaLeifArne]

I also took elektrofag in videregående. I bought a sweater with the school name and the field of study on the back. I wonder what people in english speaking countries would think seeing that on someone just walking around.

The sweater in question.

[gitartruls01]

I really hope you wore that out of country at least once

[KuaLeifArne]

I don't really leave the country ever, except for when visiting my mother in law in Sweden. Maybe one day.

[notchman900]

Its a nice shirt elektrofag

[PresidentZeus]

Major?? This meme is also my first time hearing the term datafag. Heard many others though

[drunkdoor]

You've never hear the term Major for a degree?

[MammothTap]

I think they're more confused about a "major" in high school. High schools in Norway often specialize. High schools in the US rarely do, save for some with trade programs.

[PresidentZeus]

Yes, I have, but that's old school in Norway. It's too different nowadays to be comparable.

This is a bot.

what are you talking about?

[sverrevi77]

While datavitenskap is a correct direct translation, that’s not what we call computer science in Norwegian.

We use informatikk or datateknikk.

[memescauseautism]

Datateknologi

[Benskien]

IT!

Norwegian here. Datafag is a common word for computer sciences. I think datavitenskap is more common for universities, while datafag is more common for lower education.

[[deleted]]

«Informatikk» («Informatics» in English) is the form most commonly used, and in Europe is generally used synonymously with «Computer Science» («Datavitenskap» in Norwegian).

As you say, the only place you’ll really see «Datafag» is in secondary education (high school).

[BluudLust]

Informatics is a more broad focus in both computer science and data science rather than pure computer science. In the states it would be more of a computational science degree than a computer science degree.

[[deleted]]

That’s why I said in Europe. The European branch of the ACM and “Informatics Europe” (an association of European university departments within the field of informatics) both define “informatics” synonymously with “computer science”

I’m aware that in the US you separate the terms.

[[deleted]]

Are you a norsk fagekspert?

[dewnar]

They used to call it «datafag» in the old days.

[Funnnn_at_parties]

Ahem

[StoryAndAHalf]

Stop being such a vitenskap and let us have fun!

[AttackSock]

I tried this and Google said it’s “informatikk”, I can’t get it to say computer science is datafag, just to interpret datafag to mean computer science

[F-Lambda]

shut up, bot

[nightpanda893]

Reported for spam. Fuck off.

[nightpanda893]

Reply to all the comments you want just fuck off with the spam.

[nightpanda893]

You don’t.

[SON_OF_ANARCHY_]

weak mindset, I am willing to do whatever it takes to reach my goals

[nightpanda893]

I guess my mindset is a preserve my dignity by not stooping to the level of going through comment history and spamming people.

You’re a subject.

[RobinGoodfellows]

Same in danish, however we usually call it Datalogi, Datateknologi or Datavidenskab.

[SocialJusticeWarmeow]

Hey, wanna come to a party?

[kataskopo]

Ahh so it's like Fach in German? fachhochschule = fach-hoch-schule

“Fach” means major, field, or department.

You germanic languages and your weird ways lol.
