    Struggling with "randomness" Computer Science

    Struggling with "randomness"

    Posted: 07 Aug 2018 10:07 PM PDT

    When I was taking my first year of Computer Science, we were told that "Computers can't generate random numbers".

    Do you agree with that statement?

    The more time I spend learning, the harder time I seem to have figuring out what the word "random" means and how it is being used by people in different areas of science. I am hoping that someone here can help me unpack it and clear up my misconceptions.

    Software engineers, what would you say are the most essential CS course?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2018 03:13 PM PDT

    I'm entering my 3rd year in CS and I'm interested in becoming a software engineer. For the first time after 2 years in university, I finally have a variety of CS courses to choose from. And I want to use that opportunity to take classes that would help me with my goal of becoming a software eng.

    How do Computer Networks (Client/Servers) play into Theory of Computation?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2018 11:51 PM PDT

    The theory of computation and models of computation such as Turing machines only talks about the computability of problems using algorithms. It only talks about solving problems on a single computer. Do the networked computers we use day to day have more power than a single computer in solving problems? Do they require some expanded computational model?

    Ethics in Computer Science?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2018 03:35 PM PDT

    For nearly every profession that creates/does something that can impact someone's life negatively, there is some sort of board that they have to listen to. Doctors have to have a medical license to practice, Professional Engineers must have a license to sign off on designs, Lawyers have bar association, etc.

    Why do programmers/ software developers not have something similar?

    Developers are able to create code that can potentially impact more people than any other profession, but have no code of ethics to follow and virtually no repercussions for creating something that will violate someone's privacy. Many universities don't even require an ethics class to be taken at any point to earn a degree in computer science.

    I'd love to hear your thoughts and input.

    Awesome Quotes about Mathematics (and related fields)

    Posted: 06 Aug 2018 05:09 AM PDT

    Hello all!

    If you're the kind of person who enjoys quotes about the beauty or nature of mathematics, physics, computer science, etc., then I've made just the place for you! The sub /r/MathQuotes was made with the idea of gathering people together who enjoy non-trivial quotes (to see what I mean by non-trivial, check out the sidebar and the quotes on the page).

    I expect this sub to grow into the kind that doesn't flood your feed, but rather gifts your feed with occasional nuggets of wisdom, with the hope of bringing you joy. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to bring the same joy to someone else the next time you come across a neat quote, if you so decide to post it there! :D

    -Foobanana (the real one)

    P.S. - As usual, when I advertise on a sub, I trust the moderators and subscribers to kick my ass if my posts are deemed as spammed.
