    Error accumulation estimation

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 02:12 PM PDT

    Suppose you implement some mathematical function with a fixed precision data type. How might one go about estimating the point at which switching to a higher precision data type would be beneficial?

    For example, I've been toying around with a basic mandelbrot set plotting program. The grunt-mover code is iterative of the form fn+1(x) = f(fn (x)).

    After a certain number of iterations the accumulated error will start to be significant and I'd like to know if there's some sort of rule of thumb for when it might be worthwhile to swap from a 32 bit float to a 64 bit one, for example.

    Ethical issues - What's your scenario?

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 05:39 PM PDT

    Most Computer Scientists will be familiar with the IEEE Code of ethics and I am teaching it to students next week. I thought it would be more realistic if I could share some real dilemmas that have happened to Computer Scientists? Any issues that you can safely share in your careers or things that you have heard about? If I get a good enough collection, I plan to turn it into an open source board game...

    ​

    For reference here is the code:

    1. PUBLIC – Software engineers shall act consistently with the public interest.

    2. CLIENT AND EMPLOYER – Software engineers shall act in a manner that is in the best interests of their client and employer consistent with the public interest.

    3. PRODUCT – Software engineers shall ensure that their products and related modifications meet the highest professional standards possible.

    4. JUDGMENT – Software engineers shall maintain integrity and independence in their professional judgment.

    5. MANAGEMENT – Software engineering managers and leaders shall subscribe to and promote an ethical approach to the management of software development and maintenance.

    6. PROFESSION – Software engineers shall advance the integrity and reputation of the profession consistent with the public interest.

    7. COLLEAGUES – Software engineers shall be fair to and supportive of their colleagues.

    8. SELF – Software engineers shall participate in lifelong learning regarding the practice of their profession and shall promote an ethical approach to the practice of the profession.

    Recommendation for MS in Theoretical / Applied computer science.

    Posted: 02 Nov 2018 05:02 AM PDT

    I'm a bachelor degree holder in computer science with 1+ experience in industry grade Software development. Currently interested and seeking out admission in a MS programme taught in English. Any recommendations for colleges admitting international students for August 2019 are welcome.
