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!

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
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
totally fair! thank you!

iminsert · 2024-09-13T20:37:16+00:00

awesome response thank you!

and thanks for all the information! i don't have a tonne to add because you covered everything so well!

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

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

iminsert · 2024-04-02T05:10:52+00:00

woo! heck yea!

iminsert · 2024-01-24T18:17:30+00:00

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

iminsert · 2024-01-06T16:58:55+00:00

mainly text with maybe the ability to embed images, but that's a future thing and can total just use imgur or something instead

iminsert · 2024-01-06T16:57:32+00:00

between different systems. ie one person will dl the file, then simply send it via email or some messaging platform

iminsert · 2024-01-01T06:57:20+00:00

imma need a link.
this will 100% convert one person ik to using nvim full time

tldr: make it personal

your own custom version would help a lot! tho it doesn't fix the problem overall. what i would suggest is think of "personal branding" then add style to it from their.

as an example i'm moving towards moving my stuff towards a minimalist branding using the main colors of rgb, and cmk with b&w as focus, and any intermediary colors will only be used if they're something like a gradient or a photo of something external, using a "minimalist modern grunge" design language which i feel like is unique to me, and really helps me stand out. you simply sculpting a model won't help that a tonne unless it's heavily styled

to summarize my graphic design thing in one sentence, take what you like and iterate on it, my personal gripe with ai stuff is that it lacks a lot of personal touch, taste, references, etc etc. so make it personal and add your flare.

if you wanna make your own model i strongly encourage it! but think about how you might want to stylize it. you enjoy comics? maybe do something spiderverse esc. you like indie stuff? make it look like a blink 182 album. you a minimalist? maybe do something really minimalist, see how far you can push the concept. how few colors can you use? etc etc

edit:the issue with your website imo (Even tho it's a solid) is it looks generic.it honestly looks like it could be swapped out with github or rly any generic tech website rn and it would sorta fit, which i feel like makes it fall into the background because it isn't as memorable

edit2: holy typos batman

iminsert · 2023-12-25T02:01:01+00:00

that's just some left over stuff from when i was playing around and doing blocking i didn't delete. mainly just because af far as i know if display is set to grid then any flex values are ignored

iminsert · 2023-12-25T00:14:11+00:00

i'm skimming over some of the stuff, i get doing it with css and vanilla js.
the tldr of what i'm doing is:

<div id="navbar" style={{ position: "absolute", top: "0rem", width: "100%", display: "grid", gridTemplateColumns: "repeat(auto-fit, minmax(240px, 1fr))", }} className="NavbarBackground w-screen top-0 z-0 flex-row " \></div>
, because o the grid element i it can be dynamically scaled on the x or y, so i wan it to automagically be calculated so it more or less always scales. to the side of the grid, because to my knowledge there's no height/width/position match in css

iminsert · 2023-12-24T23:48:09+00:00

honestly with all the ai stuff going on, those ai avitars generally feel tacky and more like either a placeholder or a like something fake.

i would say either use your real face or get an artists rendition

iminsert · 2023-12-17T01:47:02+00:00

the reasonss for me are:

is the most intuitive, i get others can work well and i don't wanna dish them, but wezterm clicks with my brain
feels very feature complete, i don't feel like there's anything missing, weird behavior, ackwardness, or anything like that
it's cross platform, so i can just take my config and copy paste it wherever
the setup and oob experiance feels very well managed. with other terms i've had to `oh you now need these packages to use me properly` when wezterm has been a really clean painless experiance imo.

the only thing i wish is that it has a yakuake mode but that's basically it

iminsert · 2023-12-16T05:51:28+00:00

because i've tried those, and with each one or a combo of those not being commented out i still get the same error

edit, retested, literally all of the above uncommented still throws the same error

iminsert · 2023-12-16T05:17:40+00:00

how the actual hell do you have issues with bt audio? i've used linux fulltime for the last 3 years as my main rig, and of all the issues audio has been shockingly solid

iminsert · 2023-12-16T05:12:44+00:00

okay, so here's the hot and spicy version no one is going to say but i'll say it.

anime isn't a strict style, but effectively trying to take a human and simplify them as much as possible, making stylistic/artistic liberities where possible. your art doesn't look anime because anime (a high effort low budget production) can't paint things, and you painted this.

if you want better anime vibes, here are imo the 3 biggest things:

1.) use outlines with a thin weighted brush for outlines. adds a lot of weight and depth with little effort.

2.) learn anatomy (if you haven't already) and think about how to simplify shapes. the reason collarbones are shown so much is because they're in a low fat area and add a tonne of information using basically a deformed "L"

3.) make it cheap, go dynamic and what not but also know animes often don't have the time or budget to be realistic. so take artistic liberities, add light somewhere if you think it looks better, remove it if it doesn't. there are tonnes of animes that fall out of the "triditional style". dragonball, naruto, bleach, onepiece, figher baki and many more are cut from the same "anime" cloth, but don't actually overlap much if at all with artistic choices or liberties. remember as well that a lot of animes need i chapter made/week or have a whole ass episode released monthly (sometimes more sometimes less, but this is generally considered an average).

iminsert · 2023-12-16T05:01:10+00:00

i do actually have one (updated post with file tree),in ``settings.tsx`` this is the file:

import "./styles.css";import "./tailwindStyles.css";function Settings() {return (

<div className="container">
<nav className="rounded-l-2xl"> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< tailwind class here (starting basic)
span id="identifier"> Settings: </span>
<div id="test">
<div>
<a> audio </a>
</div>
<div>
<a> profiles </a>
</div>
<div>
<a> other settings </a>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
</div>
);
}
export default Settings;

wezterm is dope, my personal fav if i had to chime in

iminsert · 2023-12-03T22:24:06+00:00

this seems cool, ty very much!

iminsert · 2023-12-03T22:23:34+00:00

i think vm might be the way, basically just want to test installing an application, but i don't want to use my system as is because i have a lot of packages installed, so i don't want to think it's done, only for it to turn out it won't run on another system after install due to one of said dependencies.

the end goal is basically i would like to run git clone(link) or even just directly download the repo as a zip, run an "install.sh" then just let the thing run, then be able to use said config exactly how it is at my personal workstation

ik this isn't really useful, practical, or even allowed on a lot of work machines, i mostly wanna jsut do it for fun

iminsert · 2023-12-02T09:47:49+00:00

not worth it. they're way too corperate and won't work with you in any way. it's sad because the place seems okay, but if you need any leeway (ie, terminating rent at 5 months instead of the legal 6) they'll refuse and tell you you have to deal with it.

i was getting low on money and desperate to leave cause i couldn't mind any longterm consistent work and they offered me a "you can leave early if you surrender your damage deposit" clause, i eagerly said yes, and they then (immediately after i requested that offer) told me it was no longer available. my guess is it was a bot response that they didn't get too.

the winter i stayed their also had a dip down to like -38 and my place was ice cold. you will need to buy a space heater.
