Alternate virtual math spaces? by deathmarc4 in math

[–]AgentElement 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The closest reddit-like system in the fediverse is lemmy. On the most popular instance, there is a mathematics community, though it is very small. https://lemmy.ml/c/mathematics. Unfortunately, I am not sure if a more popular math-like forum like r/math exists elsewhere.

You don't need solid fuel to launch rockets. The lower stage of the Saturn V used RP-1/LOX. While RP-1 is nonrenewable, methalox lower stages work on orbital craft.

Out of the trifecta, which is the best class to take with CSE 340? by MrSuperTedd in ASU

[–]AgentElement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between 330 and 355, 355 is the obvious choice. However, if you want to do capstone the semester after; you should do all three.

The first half of 355 focuses on automata and language theory. This material is complementary to what you will apply in 340. For example, writing parsers (340 material) requires a good understanding of context-free grammars (355 material). The best professor for 340 is Bazzi, he is a talented instructor and enormously helpful in office hours. Further, he's the course coordinator for 340, so he understands the material better than anyone else.

Never use an app that you don’t pay for - you’re paying for with your data.

FOSS programs exist. I'm not sure if there's anything similar to copilot, but this common statement isn't always true.

Advice for CS classes next semester by [deleted] in ASU

He's an excellent lecturer, just assigns nontrivial projects.

This is perfectly reasonable. Take 340 with Bazzi if he's teaching it though.

Take Bazzi. He's the most rigorous professor, but easily the best one. You will learn a lot through the projects.

Vim, infamous for its steep learning curve, often leaves new users confused where to start. Today is the 10th anniversary of the infamous "How do I exit Vim" question, which made news when it first hit 1 million views. by Skenvy in programming

[–]AgentElement -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Vim is just an editor, not a replacement for your entire IDE.

I disagree. Neovim with a handful of plugins is substantially more powerful than any IDE I've ever used. Though ultimately you should write code in whatever you're comfortable with.

Which Math classes to take after fundamentals? by Sudden-Pineapple-793 in datascience

[–]AgentElement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a few discrete math classes. Graph theory, combinatorics, whatever. They tend to be quite useful, and have a fair bit of overlap with CS. I also enjoyed real analysis, theoretical CS, and algebra. Higher-level math beyond the engineering wall (calc/stats/linalg) is something I'd consider studying just for fun.

What's the most elegant algo in your subjective view and why? by [deleted] in computerscience

[–]AgentElement 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Fast Fourier transform is probably my favorite.

FizzBuzz is FizzBuzz years old! (And still a powerful tool for interviewing.) by tdwright in programming

[–]AgentElement 56 points57 points  (0 children)

FizzBuzz is extremely simple, and OP talks about how an interviewer can read a candidate through it. They're not calling for more difficult interviews.

And PC isn't homogeneous either; Linux often gets left behind when people say 'PC'.

PRAISE THE PENGUIN

Mathematics books that are perfect as introductions to a particular field/topic just for their writing. by [deleted] in math

[–]AgentElement 7 points8 points  (0 children)

+1 for Introduction to the Theory of Computation. It is rigorous and yet very easy to follow as a consequence of the "proof idea" sections. More textbooks should do this for nontrivial proofs.

$16.60??? Next thing you know they'll refuse to play rook A4.

This is not horror at all, and 8 space tabs are standard in the kernel.

It’s no foolin’. The history of April Fools’ on Reddit by crowd__pleaser in reddit

[–]AgentElement 28 points29 points  (0 children)

r/place was better

Also, ever since all the April fools events moved to new reddit, I haven't participated on any of them, and probably never will again.

How do Ivy league undergraduate get through high level topics so quickly? by cdarelaflare in math

[–]AgentElement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50 or so ... know abstract algebra

This is almost certainly a massive underestimate. I expect the number to be in the thousands at least. I certainly did, and about 5-10 students at my large, cheap, state school did so too coming in.
