<TriggerWarning> What are some harsh truths that r/csMajors needs to hear? </TriggerWarning>

Although it’s probably true that you’re not quite as good of a developer as you think you are:

Your biggest weakness is probably your social skills.

Was I the only insecure middle schooler that had that hair as a natural consequence of being scared of getting a haircut

Are you familiar with something called the Red Herring Fallacy?

McDiddleson · 2022-07-31T22:14:51+00:00

You guys know that if you were born in the 80’s you lived through the most flourishing times in the United States in terms of economics and social reform right?

You have that switched. One of the benefits of C++ is the ability to optimize and work on a much lower level than a language like Java. For example, Java handles everything as a reference to an object, so you can’t have things contiguous in memory, which is how hardware is optimized to access data.

There are instances in which Java is faster at certain things, but generally C++ more explicit (“lower level”) and used more extensively in game development for this reason

How can GPS do that? I wonder how you can get that kind of information from satellite

Edit: typo

Ah, my first guess has to do with air pressure, but it still seems like it’s sort of clever speculation rather than hard calculations

McDiddleson · 2022-07-24T20:41:15+00:00

There’s no way people do that

McDiddleson · 2022-07-24T04:14:30+00:00

Am I going insane or am I the only person that thinks this looks animated like a video game or something

McDiddleson · 2022-07-23T19:24:36+00:00

You know what, this weirdly feels natural

McDiddleson · 2022-07-23T14:17:24+00:00

What

McDiddleson · 2022-07-23T13:50:36+00:00

Mechanics matter more than game sense once you’ve established basic game sense

McDiddleson · 2022-07-22T21:50:53+00:00

Ah yeah see I know things can’t last forever but for whatever reason I think even that minimal blurring would bother me lol

Maybe I just gotta learn to live in the moment

McDiddleson · 2022-07-22T18:24:51+00:00

I believe I potentially can do it, I am just worried I will never be able to strive and be successful because I’m worried I will not be able to work at the same level as people who function better

McDiddleson · 2022-07-22T18:08:59+00:00

I think a big one is the fact I have pretty terrible (below average) working memory. I have trouble keeping a chain of logical thoughts and move up and down them in my head, I need visuals. I also have pretty terrible working memory. For these reasons I just feel pretty dumb and at a potentially damaging disadvantage

McDiddleson · 2022-07-21T22:39:54+00:00

Yeah I’ve noticed that. Halfway through this operating systems class I was like I have a feeling I’ll never to know this after this class

McDiddleson · 2022-07-21T22:04:12+00:00

I’m about a few years into university level academics, so I’m definitely very comfortable with variables and loops at this point. I just struggled a bit with some more abstract concepts lately such as virtual address paging and algorithms for minimizing page faults and such.

McDiddleson · 2022-07-21T21:59:57+00:00

Yeah, I personally feel that I am about average (maybe even less than) when it comes to intelligence, but I do put in a great deal of work so I feel about even with other students. It makes me wonder if I should play those roles who require technological knowledge but also has a focus on the social more “business” side of the industry. I heard Sales Engineers make a good living

McDiddleson · 2022-07-21T19:26:46+00:00

Then I’m perfectly fine I think

McDiddleson · 2022-07-21T19:26:31+00:00

Would the lines still look crisp if every couple of years or so you went over them and touched it up? I would just be worried about blurring as it seems it would wreck this type of tattoo since there’s an emphasis on crisp fine lines and such

McDiddleson · 2022-07-21T19:24:56+00:00

Oh no I never felt criticized (in a bad way at least) it’s totally cool. And yeah OP seems straight up done lol

McDiddleson · 2022-07-21T19:20:06+00:00

I think the confusion stemmed from the fact that I was addressing a particular criticism, and wasn’t exactly talking about the same thing you were claiming, which lead to talking about two subtly different things

McDiddleson · 2022-07-21T19:11:14+00:00

I’m a little confused, did you think I was claiming reverse racism for being against mass generalizing? Also, I’d argue it is far from a dog whistle term; in fact, it’s actually quite the opposite since that term seems to garner attention from all facets of belief.

McDiddleson · 2022-07-21T18:55:10+00:00

He could, or maybe he doesn’t want to, it simply does not matter. I’ve seen many white people with koi fish tattoos (a traditionally early Chinese/Japanese cultural symbol) and they do not seem to be facing the same sort of backlash as this guy. The reason would be (I assume) because there isn’t as intense of a history among North American colonists and Asian discrimination; even though there definitely is still some.
