    Best computer science books...

    Posted: 28 Mar 2019 06:43 PM PDT

    I am a freshman in college, I have a year of pre-reqs that I have to knock out before getting into any fun courses...My question is this, what are the best all-around computer science books that are updated..I am decent with math and I have some fundamental programming knowledge, therefore I want a solid book but also something that isn't too intensive that I won't be able to understand it. I learn best through reading actual physical books for some reason. While obtaining my degree I want to focus on the following..

    C, C++, Java

    python

    data structures & algorithims....I use codewars with javascript right now....

    compiler & programming language architecture & theory

    CS mathematics

    Does adding Unicode characters (§■╚) to my passwords increase their strength?

    Posted: 29 Mar 2019 02:41 AM PDT

    If I were to create a password containing Unicode characters like §■╚♀☻♥ etc. does it improve my password security or are the characters included in say a brute force attack. I guess what i'm asking is if attack methods like dictionary and brute force will account for Unicode characters.

    High Quality Assorted Computer Science Resources [self promotion]

    Posted: 28 Mar 2019 11:54 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I've noticed a common pattern amongst us. We collects loads of resources and bookmarks but don't actually take the efforts to go through any of them.

    An effective way to get past this is to focus on one tutorial / concept and take it to completion.

    So I'll be sharing one resource / link every 4 or 5 days. Sometimes I might fall behind the schedule but certainly won't exceed the stated frequency.

    So in short.

    • One post every 4 or 5 days.
    • Different domains and different languages.
    • Sometimes it'll be a drill down article on stuff we use but haven't explored.
    • At times touch upon new concepts in an intuitive way.
    • I'll only share articles that I can vouch for.

    If it's something that might interest you, here's how you can follow along.

    Thanks for your time :)

    Could someone help me visualize the behavior of a "continuous alphabet automaton"?

    Posted: 28 Mar 2019 10:51 PM PDT

    So, I've recently been studying some abstract algebra and automata theory just for fun. I was reading about omega-automata and how, unlike Turing machines, they receive an infinite sequence of instructions. I started looking into different "tweaks" to the classic 7-tuple Turing machine like making its set of states infinite or turning its transition function into a relation. But I came across one tweak that I can't begin to wrap my my mind around.

    A Turing machine has a finite alphabet. This alphabet is understood to be discrete. My question is: what if an automaton's alphabet were continuous? What does that even mean?

    I'm trying to think about it in terms of the English alphabet, which might be a mistake. The English alphabet is discrete. It has a finite number of letters. If I wanted to make this alphabet continuous, what would I do? Draw a symbol that is somehow located on a spectrum between the letters A and B? What if I try to turn something continuous (like the real numbers) into an alphabet? Ok, so we assign an infinite amount of distinct symbols to any continuous subset of the real numbers. Perhaps nearby numbers would have similar looking symbols or maybe not. Again, I can't visualize this at all.

    Maybe my question is really: what would a language with a continuous alphabet look like? Music maybe? Sound? Any analog input? Are there any applications for something like this in modern computation?

    Verification method for course-styled website

    Posted: 28 Mar 2019 03:35 PM PDT

    Hey all, I'm currently working on a website that requires a confirmation of understanding on certain subjects, but I have no clue how or what to do to verify the completion of a task without supplying an adequate course or a test as it's too broad of a website to do so. Any suggestions/ideas?

    Thank you all for your help!
