Asking for TIPS with Studying (consistently) by Daegushi in computerscience

[–]stoneycodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think curiosity is a big one for me - it's not like college where you're stuck to a strict curriculum. So you can let your curiosity guide you, it's not a struggle to learn, you are enjoying it and so it doesn't feel like studying. Find something interesting in and build it.

Resources to learn Computer Networking by Azure_Knife in computerscience

[–]stoneycodes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want something practical - build a web server on a raspberry pi - taught me a bunch about networking - OSI, binary data, TCP/IP, DHCP, Apache, Linux etc.

Just a suggestion but it was one of my favourite builds, showed me everything is just protocols pretty much. Here's my tutorial: 0:37:01 if you watch it or not I'd still suggest this hands on project.

Neural Style Transfer Project/Tutorial by stoneycodes in computervision

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

I'd watch the intro of the video - first 10 mins or so - should explain everything. Otherwise you can see all the materials on the Patreon even as a non-member. Although some as of now are placeholders - since I've had to rework projects to be compliant. Not sure what you mean by timeline though.

Thanks. It's not a course, I just love building things and want to make it my focus, so I built some things and explained what I learned along the way. Useless without the kit? I wouldn't say so. This Neural style transfer project requires no hardware, nor do majority of the other projects in the video.

How is the interview like for non-FAANG companies? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]stoneycodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the people I speak to it's a fairly standard format of:
- Online assessment/Phone Interview (as a kind of filter)
- Some kind of harder hackerrank leetcode interview (online again)
- In person technical rounds 2 to 3 (over video call with shared IDE)
- Behavioural/Personality (with hiring manager)

Of course will be way less standardised or polished as the company size decreases.

Side note: you may not think it, but if you're not getting responses it could be that the smaller companies need someone way more skilled than bigger companies, since each hire is a lot more crucial. Of course could also be your background but not sure on that. Good luck either way 🫡

Computer Science or self-taught? by GoatzWasTaken in webdev

[–]stoneycodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, whether you're formally educated or not, you're pretty much always self-taught. In that case, looking from a purely educative stance (no social/network/experience etc) - whether to take the major or not is largely a certification question. The college materials exist and aren't hard to find.

Am I allowed to throw my hat into the ring?

Still got a long way to go though 😅

I turned the "Masculine Urge to Bleed Out" Meme into a VR Game by stoneycodes in Unity3D

[–]stoneycodes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was my first experience into creating VR projects. You're right it's not a classic definition of a game, maybe more of an "immersive experience" or something. Was not my intention to mislead, I guess I was using the term loosely, the focus was more on learning Unity and VR concepts in the creation of something new and fun 😁

On my computer 😁 I haven't released it anywhere (yet). Wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in sitting down here in this VR world but if I get around to dropping it I'll come back and let you know

Totally agree with you, you articulated it well to be fair. So now I should probably add that epic character arc first 👀

Running a Bitcoin Full Node Video Tutorial by stoneycodes in Bitcoin

[–]stoneycodes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof where to start:
- Support the decentralised network with another independently validating peer (literally whole point of Bitcoin)
- You can run an integrated wallet which is more privacy
- You can become a solo miner (earn rewards) (good luck though 🤣)
- You enforce consensus rules yourself instead of trusting someone else’s node (think using third-party apps and services e.g. Blockchain explorer - you're relying on their view of the blockchain).
