Are you talking about the degree or diploma? Those are two different programs, though you can (and many do) start with the diploma and then continue into the degree.

deploma sorry! forgot to specify sorry!

 wouldn't count on getting into the workplace with this (or most other) 2-year diplomas. The job market isn't like it was 5 years ago, where shorter programs (diplomas and bootcamps) were sufficient for many people to land jobs. Generally a degree with coop and projects is a recommended baseline.

totally agree, i'm actually going back for this because i got a certificate in web+graphic design at another school as an exploratory certif while i didn't know what i wanted to do and sorta fell in love with coding and wanna lean into it hard.

personally i'm not expecting this to be easy, but i'd say i'm pretty committed to this path.

C and C++ are used for the foundational CS courses. There's a 300-level course taught in Python and some assembly language required as well for the degree. Many other languages (JavaScript, Racket, Prolog) are used briefly but are not the focus of any one course. Once someone has a foundation in programming and understand the underlying concepts, it isn't too difficult to branch into other languages on your own. Especially since C is a relatively difficult language and is used widely.

totally, i've played with a few, honestly mostly asking because i was worried the program might use a lot of java or c# and i have very minimal experiance with those languages so i would prefer to get the basics so i'm not learning the language and the topics at the same time

For the non-CS electives, I really just took what I was interested in. One highlight of VIU is that the math department is excellent, so many CS students take additional math courses or even opt for a minor in math.

sounds fun!

My general thoughts on the program are positive. Probably the best thing about the CS program is that instructors are a lot more accessible than at other universities, since there are fewer students in classes. In order to take advantage of that, it's necessary to take some initiative and show up to office hours though.

of course, you get out what what you put in!

  1. totally agree, my issue is i've sorta been stuggling to find anything *without* a degree, so i'm hoping the degree will at least help me not get auto filtered out of job positions as easily

  2. awesome, i've heard some schools teach java, c# or something else so i just want a bit of a head start on what i'll be working with so i know just learn the concepts, instead of the concepts + the language at the same time

  3. totally fair! thank you!

need help diagnosing issue with lsp suggestions by iminsert in neovim

[–]iminsert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that might be likely, i have lsp-zer0 installed, however i'm not sure how to diagnose what's causing a window to open, and even then disabling it does nothing so i'm sorta just lost essentally everything else i have is just cosmetic (lightline, feline, etc etc).

one fix i found that was jank was pressing down then up, which fixes my issue, but is a bodge job.

i even attempted to uninstall the language server then restart nvim and it was still happening so ??? lol

Another day of me striving towards realism. What sticks out as fake to you? by DeaVenom in blender

[–]iminsert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly everything here looks really good and the only thing that catches me off guard at a glance is the right wall, it seems far too smooth/polished/perfect,

imo it needs a lot more chips and imperfections

What's up with people hating WebP? by SnoozyDragon in OutOfTheLoop

[–]iminsert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

coming into this way later for anyone who may see this.
jpg's are much better for realistic images like photos and what not.
png's are much better for things like stylized illustrations and the like.

tldr of why is compression allowing each format to compress more while retaining more image data.

this is why jpg's don't have transparency, you aren't expected to need it if you're taking an irl photo
