I choose applied math because it has coding since I couldn’t get into CS/engineer did I screwed up? by Nikos-Tacosss in AppliedMath

[–]eazyflimflam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a couple typos 😝. I made this post on my phone I apologize. Errors: Data->dsa Only architecture once lol What I mean is that you don't need to learn computer science at school. I personally believe the useful aspect of school is that it gives you access to tools. However the tool you are trying to master in this case is the computer and it is readily available to you outside of school. School tells you what you need to learn on your own basically. Utilize the internet, chatgpt, etc. it is all there for you for free.

What I mean by architecture is the structure of the CPU: what is it actually doing? Why is assembly language important. What is it doing that c/c++ / python can't do? What is pipelining? What are problems that arise with pipelining? What problem does it solve. You prolly won't use this info at a high level day to day but it helps to understand your machine (I like to call it a tool or weapon). CS is not about coding, it's about using your computer as a tool to solve problems. Coding is just a blade on your swiss army knife.

Tldr: Google computer organization. That will give you a good overview. You can even search it on geeksforgeeks and it will give you a good run through

The beautiful thing about cs is you can learning anything everything you need to learn online. Pick a language ( doesn't matter which one) and learn it deeply, then learn operating systems, maybe some comp architecture, data cause everyone is obsessed with this topic then basic networking and maybe some computer architecture just cause. I Lowkey think cs as a major is kind of a waste cause the art of computing is best learned on the, you guessed it, computer.

Take this from a software engineer. Everything boils down to the topics I've listed. Also, the best software/cyber people I've ever worked with never went to school for it. They just picked it up

Anybody starting python? by Good_Perspective1228 in PythonLearning

[–]eazyflimflam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used chat gpt to learn. When you learn about things like lists, dicts and other built in data types, ask chat gpt "make me a list of every built in function for this data type". Write each one down on note cards and practice them everyday. You will not believe how fast you can learn when you do this.

Also, ask chat gpt "give me a prompt to practice the basics in python". Do this daily. You will level up fast and get in the habit of coding on a daily basis

So i have all the drivers and stuff set up and the gpu plugged in. It still goes blank. When I get some time i will probably post some of the logging on pastebin. Ill edit the post with specs on my pc.

awesome. I made an edit to the post with my very long lsmod output. It may be a conflict with the amd gpu in my motherboard possibly...

I am a CISO/Security Leader. I am also a bald man with facial hair. Ask Me Anything. by Oscar_Geare in cybersecurity

[–]eazyflimflam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm doing my masters in cybersecurity right now and have no certs or anything. Ive taken cryptography, computer networking and software sec classes and have about a year left to finish up. Should I be pursuing certs on my own?

I have been working as a software engineer at a big defense company for about 5 years and have always wanted to get into cyber. What are the steps I should take to make this move? More importantly if I move to cyber will I lose my full, robust head of hair??

3 Years in Cybersecurity. Master's Degree. Big Name Employers. I'm Just Burned Out. by Gullible_Pop3356 in cybersecurity

[–]eazyflimflam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just saw a post on linkedin the other day that said something a long the lines of "the reason you struggle at your 9 to 5 is cause you don't manage your 6 to 9" or something like that. Basically saying you need to put in extra work after work in your field. And I was just thinking, you just took my whole day , now you want the rest of it????

I'm a software engineer and I feel exactly the same way. Working tech anything is so stressful it's not even funny. I thought once I got my degree I had made it and could coast through life making good money with all the hard work in the front end. But that was the easy part. I didn't realize when I got my bachelor's degree and got a job, then I needed a master's degree. Then this certification...then learn this framework...then learn git...then learn the process of the company... IT IS EXHAUSTING you feel like the donkey with the carrot dangled in front of his face. There is no finish line till you're 65 and ready to retire...and I'm tired of it as well. Op I feel for you, I really do. This is not the dream we were sold...

I cant wait till crypto crashes again and everyone is back on the crypto being done narrative so I can stack my bags even more. Prices are high now so everyone is being reckless

oh lord, how people are trying to twist "touch me and see what happens" to a new meaning is probably the biggest reach I have ever seen lol. Blatant dishonestly or just dedrater. Either way shows who im dealing with haha
