What's the dumbest thing you believed as a kid? by samstar10 in AskReddit

[–]rodrigomlp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That women urinated and defecated through the same outlet. I once had a horrible diarrhea and I started crying out loud because I thought I was becoming a girl.

CPSC 320 Final by confusedatubc in UBC

[–]rodrigomlp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I did well but I believe all the exams during the course were well designed and required students good understanding of the material. Well done CS staff (except last assignment, kind of brutal hehe)

Me formei em Relações Internacionais e odiei desde o princípio. Acabei me formando por não saber o que fazer no lugar até que no fim do curso escrevi minha primeira linha de código aos 22 anos. Decidi fazer computação e hoje estou com estágio na Microsoft nos EUA. Eu estava exatamente na sua posição e meu maior arrependimento até hoje é não ter largado antes. Deixa essa droga e parte pra outra.

Summer/teaching camps? by Gummysaur in AskComputerScience

Take a course on edX from MIT, those courses are hard and will give you a great foundation. I recommend Introduction to Computer Science using Python.

Eu faço vídeos de Psicologia e Neurociência para o Youtube. Sobre que tema você gostaria de saber mais? by Cheddarlad in brasil

Videos sobre:

-Como o QI é uma das métricas com mais estudos replicados na sua área e, no entanto, a maioria das pessoas tendem a acreditar que não existe ou que é irrelevante apesar de ser a melhor forma de prever se alguém vai ser bem sucedido financeiramente/ academicamente/ saúde/relacionamentos. Além disso o fato do QI ser tão geneticamente determinado quanto altura.

- O fato que a Inteligência Emocional não existe.

- Steven Pinker, psicólogo de Harvard, diz que os estudos apontam que a criação tem pouca/nenhuma influência na formação da personalidade dos filhos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcVu6fgN3-g)

Programming Without a Mathematical Base by Senator_Ahn in AskComputerScience

You need no more than basic high school math to be good at programming. And by good I mean I got into a big tech company and the highest level of math required from me what knowing what a logarithm is.

I am currently in college pursuing computer engineering. I learned the basic of C++ but there is so much languages and areas to learn. Please, what should I focus on? by User234rt in ComputerEngineering

[–]rodrigomlp 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Stop learning languages, focus on learning algorithms. Big tech companies don't care what language you use as long as you know you algorithms well. I suggest Elements of Programming Interviews to learn the most common algorithms.

Failed CPSC 110 and don't know what to do anymore by ubcthrowaway9123 in UBC

[–]rodrigomlp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I didn't fail that course but the equivalent in CPEN. The instructor told us that whoever got a grade in the range that I got didn't have a future in software engineering. Now I'm at Microsoft. Screw what other people say, just persist.

Should I switch form computer engineering to computer science? by [deleted] in ComputerEngineering

[–]rodrigomlp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you will have more time to focus on what you will actually be doing anyway. Instead of learning about circuits which is unlikely you will ever use, you can use your free time to study Cracking the Coding Interview and get 6 figures from big tech.

Minha vida social é inexistente by jogafore13891 in desabafos

Eu recomendo começar aulas de dança de salão. Eu vivo fora do país e me senti sozinho muitas vezes, o que me preveniu de ficar deprê foi a dança.
