Wow burgers are cucked. Meanwhile on ETH, CS students get work offers as soon as second semester. Most of those anti-intellectuals drop out after first year, same goes for Physics. In my year, they admitted ~800 people, second year there were less than 100. There were 26 people who got BSc.

Because CS is such a vague term, BSc programs in CS often offer many possibilities to branch out in the elective part of the program. At my university you had people getting their BSc with 2 semesters worth of pure maths classes (most also taken by the maths students) - and you had people literally making it a 4 year GUI degree only taking shallow into X courses and avoiding any theory and maths after the mandatory logic course and calc 3. Most people did the latter of course.

And as /sci/ posters are mostly undergrads and overidentify with their subject, they only compare to the undergrads of other fields and deduce that as CS students are scum, the field must be shit.

I'm in computer engineering and I notice a fairly large difference between the kids in the CS classes vs engineering classes at least (this is not counting the wannabe elitist math/physics majors). The weird guys in engineering might be a little bit of a dick or a showoff, but it pales in comparison in the CS classes

The weirdos in CS are the cringiest, most absolute sperglords you'll ever meet. I am taking an advanced programming class other cmpe students don't have to take, so it's all CS majors and some of them are like characters out of a movie, but unironically. There's:

1. A big, fat guy that laughs (really loud, and often) like a psychotic cartoon character.

2. A girl that cannot contain her autistic commentary outbursts to whatever the prof is saying

3. Typical loud autism guy that shouts and sounds half-retarded

4. Around 10% of the guys all have man-buns

5. Only class I am in where there are multiple kids playing games on gaming laptops (why even fucking come to class?)

6. Tons of foreign students that always seem to either be actively cheating, or getting caught cheating

7. Another 20% of the kids think they know better than the professor and constantly get BTFO all quarter.

8. Literal autistic meltdowns (turning red, shouting/swearing, crying) over bad grades and having to be asked to leave by the prof.

It's a fucking circus full of irritating clowns. Thank god I will be done with my last CS class on Thursday.

CSfag here. Finished calc I and II and plan to take classes on vector/multivariable calc, linalg, diff EQs, and real and numerical analysis (as well as a few other math courses that are related to computing.) Is this enough to save me from the memes?

I did a rigorous undergrad going through hours of lab courses and doing undergrad research in chemistry l, going to conferences, writing papers, even getting a small grant for my lab as an undergrad. Now I'm in grad school where I am basically a slave for the next 4 years where I'll *hopefully* get my PhD while listening to every grad student and their brother around me bitch about how depressing it is there is no jobs after we graduate and how shitty their life is.

Meanwhile, my friend who graduated with a CS degree has worked for multiple companies, has no student loan debt, is seeing the world, living in beautiful city apartments, and driving sexy cars. And now CS majors want my respect? No thanks. You have enough going for you.

Anyone saying CS majors are unemployable are delusional or just plain butthurt. The major is far more complex then the intro classes make it out to be. Any decent university requires the same number of math classes that an engineer would take.

In my experience, /sci/ in general doesn't like engineering or computer science because they're much more like trades than they are actual sciences. They employ math and science, but they aren't descriptive in nature.

It's the societal infatuation we have with CS because of societal infatuation with computers, and the fact that it's such a new advent that leads us to respect CS in the real world. On /sci/ that pretense is dropped because a lot of people are fully aware of just how bullshit it is to put CS on a pedestal compared to other sciences.

I don't know, the fact we can separate problems by their hardness into distinct classes is fucking weird.
complexity deals with fundamental problems of time and space, and I think the question of what can be computed in any given amount of time and space definitely describes something larger about the nature of our universe.

I think computer science is unique in that it's research can be of science, engineering, theoretical methods.

Oh yeah, I definitely don't think we can discuss it as an issue of difficulty.

I think it's that we end up trying to do that, and lose something in the process. CS is fundamentally different from the descriptive processes of physics, chemistry, or biology, and the fact that we can conflate CS with them is silly, since it has a lot more to do with engineering and the application/creation of processes based on what we've already discovered than it has to do with formulating models of understanding and theories like in the natural sciences.

Regular society is rife with the problem that people who utilize these principles prescriptively are idolized, and so it grates on a lot of people on /sci/ I've talked to. Doctors, Engineers, Programmers, etc, are thought to be the academic elite, when people actually studying subjects like Chemistry and Physics are very much aware there are a lot of brainlet programmers, engineers, and doctors.

That's not to say there aren't geniuses in the aforementioned fields, just that they are fundamentally different on the aspect of whether or not it's descriptive or prescriptive, and so it should be treated as such.

Pure maths, logicians, and the like are more akin to the natural scientists than people who develop things, simply put.

As a pet project, yes. I dedicated a couple weeks to HTML back in high school and learned all I'll ever need to know about it. I only even did it so I could put a lot of custom fuckery on my MySpace page. It's PHP, SQL, JavaScript, and the like that really make the resume for your CS majors.

If you put your name onto some shitty little Web site as its sole developer, you get flooded with calls about jobs. I'm an ME major, too, not CS, so Web design experience might be all you really need to easily land a CS-related job.

A bunch of Indian companies, right? I thought it had more to do with putting it on LinkedIn and being from a nice school.

She is projecting herself into the Wired, hair and all. The screens projected around her have a magic about them, too.

My question is how she got all of the materials to make that shit up into her room. I can buy that her dad who was always buying computer parts before the start of the series would fund her, but when the explosion went off, it showed the pressure rise on what looked like a fucking boiler.

Also, no, rave boy, the green fluid is not liquid carbon.

That actually sounds like a decent way to structure a Web design course. Get your students to dick wave to each other about how great their custom pages are. Maybe with an implication but no explicit guarantee that they'll be graded competitively.

>yes, I did take the CS department's shitty discrete math course. It was required. Yes, all the memes are true. No, I'm not taking the real version of the course.

Most schools let you switch one for the other. I took the math's department DM as a replacement for the CS one. Also took Math's Stat instead of Business Stat.

I was thinking about switching from CS to Math. Just finished first year. Future CS modules look so shit. It is another 3 years of doing interesting shit vs making platformers in C#. Ideally I will be able to take a module in programming every semester as the course load looks very easy and is stuff I have done before in C/C++ anyways.

what the fuck that wasn't what he was talking about at all
cs is no less an application of maths as physics is, think you're confused as to what the field actually is
pretty much what >>8973081 said

CS is where the people who find real world physics too hard go to. They take solace about being able to simulate complex systems (and noting how much they deviate from real life experiments, ironically) rather than having the mojos to do physical experiments.
