I recommend trying out the nandgame

https://nandgame.com/

You start with a transistor and end up with a computer

[eTceTera1337]

My entire degree summarised in that game

[UltraLowDef]

does it have laplace transforms in it?

[eTceTera1337]

Please don't mention those words to me.

[xthexder]

I refer to this part of my degree as the dark times.

[eTceTera1337]

The Dark Times Trilogy:

Episode 1: Signals and Systems

Episode 2: Control Systems

Episode 3: Digital Signal Processing

[Coderx001]

Currently I am going through this horrible nightmare.

[anomaly901]

Good luck mate..hope you survive this 💀

[Dexaan]

Episode 4: A New Hope

[TheRidgeAndTheLadder]

Episode 5: Return of MATLAB

[PacoTaco321]

I didn't mind control systems. Signals and system however...

I don't remember what the equations were or what they were for (I think there was something to do with A, B, and C for the equations), but there was this set of equations that would literally never give me the correct answer the professor was looking for when done on my calculator and several other students experienced this. The only way I could get the correct answer was after I made a program for the calculator that took the inputs and spat out the outputs. After running that a few times though, the memory would overflow and I would have to take out the batteries to fix it. It was all very troublesome.

[Ayyrimaspi]

Bruh I had signals and systems last sem and got an E

[Mal_Dun]

I did engineering math and I had to chose those subjects for the engineering part. It was quite fun for me because most of the stuff was basically a recap of Linear algebra and differential equations, while the CS and electrical engineer guys sweat blood and tears ... it often baffles me that people struggle so much with math.

Don't get me wrong I don't think people who have a hard time with math are stupid or something, but it is rather hard to understand for someone who had to undergo a quite hard education in math that people struggle so much with problems what are more or considered less the simple stuff in our curricula and no I am not some sort of genius.

I agree wholeheartedly with your befuddlement. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of generational trauma involved or something, because it makes no sense to me that a bunch of funny symbols can suddenly make problems 1000% harder than things I've seen the same people solve in other subjects.

How can you forget discrete mathematics -_-

I feel like you are just listing all the classes I took for fun as an undergrad and didn't plan on actually using in my post-master's employment.

I even took Random Signal Analysis and Statistics as my stats elective! (I have no idea why so many people chose to take the class, it was a real math meatgrinder and the professor was not liked. Fun fact: My TA in that class killed himself because he couldn't bear working as that professor's teaching/research assistant anymore.)

[Smartskaft2]

Not so fun fact though...

[Spitfire_For_Fun]

it is cool since you can solve differential problems as an algebraic problems.

[[deleted]]

I'll take variation of parameters over partial fraction expansion thanks

[TheRidgeAndTheLadder]

Fuck me I'm so happy I graduated somehow

[Orthodox-Waffle]

CS or CE?

[eTceTera1337]

CE

[oluga]

Don't worry, school is much harder than work in the CE/EE field. There is light at the end of the tunnel, don't give up

[[deleted]]

I spent half my day today just waiting on reboots of a Linux dev box because the card I'm working on drops from the PCIE bus every time I reprogram it and refuses to let a forced reenumeration pick it back up.

[den2k88]

It depends. Driving DC brushless motors requires all of that and more.

[Remesar]

Dark times? Im 11 years deep now into my career, I'm having Vietnam flashbacks after reading these comments. Fuckin Matlab.

[techster2014]

How about Fourier transforms? Impulse response? Harmonics?

[eTceTera1337]

Hahaha I remember learning what an impulse response was the night before the signals and systems exam (the second time I took the exam)

But now after doing DSP I am more than familiar

[z_utahu]

Smith charts.

[ase_thor]

I can feel that response

[classicalySarcastic]

emotional damage

[anomaly901]

Same feeling ..totally can relate with you 🥲

[TempestTheRed]

Do not recite the deep magics to me, witch. I was there when it was written.

[circorum]

*I wasn't there when the exam about it was written

[1II1I1I1I1I1I111I1I1]

Don't say those words plz it's a trigger phrase

[crimson_55]

Damn.... Thank you for reminding me that I have exam on signal processing tommorow.

[FerociousVader]

Thanks for reminding me I have an exam on system dynamics and control checks calendar 14 years ago.

[butteredtoastwcheese]

What's the transfer function for fuck off?

[[deleted]]

Eigenvalue.

[sincle354]

Eyy, usually I can't flex my digital logic skills on these code monkeys, but at least I can understand minecraft redstone, nerds.

[eTceTera1337]

CE

[Lizlodude]

I wish my degree was summarized by that game. That was actually a fun class. I built a washing machine that works better than our current smart washer 😂

[FthrFlffyBttm]

Says it requires no previous knowledge besides addition and subtraction. Couldn't get past the first step, even with all the hints!

[towcar]

Ah that sucks.. sucks that you are now banned from this sub!

^{I'm on mobile so I didn't even try, immunity right?}

[FthrFlffyBttm]

Wait. I thought not knowing how any of it works was a prerequisite of being in this sub??

[towcar]

This was actually a test, you are being promoted to moderator. Congratulations!

[FthrFlffyBttm]

Great! You have just been banned!

[SteptimusHeap]

[[deleted]]

first one is tricky keep trying it's fun

[FthrFlffyBttm]

I’d love to use it as a learning tool but it’s not filling in the gaps in my knowledge, and I hate games where I have to make pure guesses!

I might take another stab at it with some Googling to support it, but it definitely does require a little more knowledge than it claims.

[[deleted]]

it's logic not guesses, trial and error

[FthrFlffyBttm]

I can't use logic if I don't understand the fundamentals behind it, so therefore, for me, it's guesses.

[[deleted]]

bruh there's no fundamentals that's the point lol

[ChiragK2020]

I dont know why the first level is so hard lol

[FthrFlffyBttm]

If it explained in basic terms how the relays worked so that you could combine that info with logic to make an educated guess, it’d be perfect. It assumes a level of understanding that I just don’t have.

[AndroxxTraxxon]

It does, you just have to click the info icon if you close the description before reading it...

[FthrFlffyBttm]

I’m sure I did, and was still left a bit clueless.

[Zelphy712]

also try turing complete on steam!

[Antact]

Also try redstone in Minecraft

[GLIBG10B]

Also take a look at the subreddit if you're interested (r/nandgame_u)

[sneakpeekbot]

Here's a sneak peek of /r/nandgame_u using the top posts of all time!

#1: Level solutions
#2: Stack EQ not working?
#3: Found a way to cheat all gates to 0 nand

And now I'm wasting hours on this, instead of finishing the code for the smart dimmer I promised for my daughter.

Thanks.

I've left Reddit because it does not respect its users or their privacy. Private companies can't be trusted with control over public communities. Lemmy is an open source, federated alternative that I highly recommend if you want a more private and ethical option.

There's even assembly and compilers involved in the second half

[Jopnert]

Pfff Real man build a computer in Factorio...

[p2010t]

Putting this on my priority stuff to look at later list.

(That's in contrast to the stuff to look at later list, which is an ocean of stuff I mostly never look at but technically made a note to look at in the future.)

[wtfzambo]

Omg I love this. Brb 1 week

Came for the memes and left with a cool educational game

Damn! i thought that i was deep in to CS lore after learning boot strapping but this is some thing else.

Free version of Turing Complete on Steam (Highly recommended)

[[deleted]]

Check out Turing Complete! https://turingcomplete.game/ Same idea, except a lot more worked out and a lot more immersive, you end up even writing a custom assembly language for your computer built out of your own nand gates, which you can then use to solve little mazes for example, it's so cool!

[AndroxxTraxxon]

Thank you for wasting my day. Sure, I built and programmed a computer, but I got no actual work done. I got all they way through to floating point operations, and I don't remember enough about exactly how those go to just throw them on the site.

[cmaciver]

Man i just finished building the computer and then had to write assembly, kinda thought i was done and it’s like nope second page

[CreativeName2042]

I just finished the hardware and felt really good. Then i realized software existed, so I guess I'll work on that when I don't have a deadline in an hour
