The last thing we need is more people with half a clue writing shitty un-maintainable and un-verifiable code.

While it is true that computer literacy is a very important skill and is becoming a baseline for engaging in society, computer science is not. Computer science is much more than writing microsoft excel macros and requires years of active engagement to fully learn the impact of the code written.

What is needed is a better licensing program for software developers that must be required for working on projects that have potential safety consequences. Software has quickly become the underpinnings of our society but with that has come mountains of technical debt and shitty code that is one bad patch away from caving in.

Do you realize that everyone who knows CS knows you are lying about you teaching your cousin at 11, how to write a metacircular evaluator in scheme?

The thing about CS, and why STEM is valuable, isn't because there are so few people with degrees. Even if college is free and nignogs get the best classes, you need some level of autism to do well in this field.

Like 85% of the pollacks on here would never cut it in a CS class.

She is talking about prepping kids for AP CS. You need to complete AP CS to get into CS, along with maths and sheet. A lot of the poor americucks have access to computers, computers are everywhere, but they do not have access to an intellectual culture that encourages and facilitates excellences in using it. So having CS Ap courses in shit tier highschools are non-starters because they wouldn't get any thing out of it, and that's what I think she means.

but honestly, she should just focus on computation thinking for the nignogs.

Half my class was this. 2500 enrolled in CS first year at my university. First term, that dropped to 2000. After first year, with the prospects of having to pass another calculus class, another 3rd dropped. By the end of second year, there are only 150 of us spread in 5 different streams. The rest didn't drop out of school, they just switched majors.

I don't know why you CS fags delude yourself into thinking CS is difficult. Most of the math in CS is reasonably straightforward. You could probably teach a 12 year old a large part of CS since you typically don't every need algebra. Obviously certain things ,like computer graphics, would be a lot more difficult to teach.

Appeal to progress, a subset of the appeal to novelty fallacy. Basically they believe that we are more enlightened than anyone who came before and thus must hold certain views. They are so sure of the righteousness of those views that they don't even need to form an argument because it should just be obvious.

Thus they can't explain why someone might not be okay with transsexuality or kids claiming to be gay or straight at ages where they either don't know what that means or are likely going through a phase. For them, the current year states that this is good and true so why even argue? It's 2016 after all, are you against progress?

Do you mean the infrastructure that is several times older than any software that continues to function? Sure some bridges are old, but it is extremely rare for them to fail in an uncontrolled manner. This is due to the rigor of the policy that goes into the planning and maintaining of such things, which is completely missing with software despite us depending on it in similar ways.

Furthermore, one cannot put up a bridge after taking a month long civil engineering boot camp and expect to have thousands of people use it without any problems.

The comparison is fair, but highlights the difference between civil and software engineering.

If you do maintain an average, you are forced out of the program. The average is variable for the given cohort. My school is huge and one of the best ones in canada for CS, so the first year enrolment is always large. What's really off though is that all of us who enter into the program did really well in high maths, like calculus, but we stumbled when we realized that our calculus isn't about taking an derivative or evaluating a limit. It was all proofs. It wasn't fun envying the other streams. A lot of people GTFO when they bombed the first mid-term.

Understanding of computers != computer science. People don't need to understand algorithms, Boolean algebra, data structure design and implementation, or any of the numerous different subjects that all compose comp sci. The thinking/logic is good for people, but it's not necessary at all.

Professional programmer here. Honestly I have nothing against having a basic introductory programming course as part of say a basic high school curriculum in the same vein as physics, chemistry, biology, etc. Much like those subjects, few people will use it once they graduate, but it challenges you to follow a new way of thinking and seeing the world. CS is extremely logic-driven, a mindset that children desperately need experience with, especially in today's education system.

It also has the added benefit of weeding out the uninterested/incapable earlier on. Programming is not something that everyone can do, nor is it something a lot of people really want to do once they've had first hand experience. Drop out rates for freshmen CS students are massive, because many underestimate both how challenging it is if you aren't accustomed to thinking logically or you aren't a creative problem solver, and how fucking boring it is if you don't enjoy it.

>>68285330

>>68292530
Our CS program is really good. Our logic course was done by the CS department, also in first year but second term. Second year we learn linear algebra and the rest of the maths we are exposed to come from courses within the department, for specific streams. The rationale for exposing us to proofs early is that in our logic course we were required to learn to think about thing about how things are determined/computed and why it works. That then feeds to our first analysis of algos course in second year.

It's not a bad idea that everyone is required to take computer science courses any more than it's a bad idea to make everyone take electrical engineering courses. Only a very small subset of the population is even going to use computer science, so she's either misusing the term computer science in her speech or she lacks a fundamental understanding of what computer science is.

>>68293590
Operating system design falls under either, it really depends on the school and how it was taught. Computer engineering in a lot of places is very similar to just taking computer science with a minor in electrical engineering, you do a lot of device programming and physical device design. Computer science deals a lot more with theory, but I would argue that software design can really fall under either discipline.

It's a science, because there are elements of it that aren't purely theoretical, or can just be reasoned about. Math isn't a science because it isn't empirical at all. But in CS, there is research done in terms of collecting evidence and through experimentation.

>>68294367
OS research is done in the CS community, not in the computer engineering community. You guys focus on translating computations to physical devices, that's the departure. If you are doing computer engineering and basically learning how to be a code monkey without means to reason about what you code, you are doing it wrong.

CS can be applied to anything to do with computing. It's not computer specific is my point.
You learn about logic, layers of abstraction, and data structures; both abstract and concrete. This can be applied to many things, the fact that 90% of computational devices are servers, PCs, and phones is the only reason they're so closely related.

I agree that our education system is sorely lacking since we try to appeal to the lowest common denominator which constitutes inter-city people and cleetus who don't give a fuck about learning anything, and that we should try to improve our education system.

This isn't the way to do it, computer science is a very specialized field of thought and focus.

>>68294852
My program did a lot of both, we worked a lot with device design, and with logic and proper coding techniques. We learned a lot about data structures and algorithms, in fact our programs had the same introductory courses. We also did a lot of hardware design, logic gates, and hardware design as well. We don't take a dedicated software engineering course, but we do still have to have similar logic courses, and a similar mathematics regimen. I would argue we aren't as specialized as computer science majors when it comes exclusively to software design, but we do have a pretty solid footing in the field.

Let me rephrase my answer, computer science does need computers and you are right, it is pretty pointless without computers. However, computers are just a tool used with computer science, and computer science is still functional as a logic base without computers. A lot of computer science is applied logic and mathematics to specialized problems, computer scientists don't necessarily need to code to fix their problem.

Computer science does not need computers to function, it would just be entirely theoretical and logic based just like some of the highest level mathematical concepts. You don't need an understanding of hyperbolic geometry to build a house, for example.

Not necessarily. We do both, but most of the courses are about coding and optimising it for IC's. We also worked with an FPGA and had to optimise it for floating-point operations to draw, transform, and rotate a .stl model on a TV screen.

We used VHDL though, not Verilog. It's the pretty much the same syntax, except VHDL is used by Eurofags I believe?

99.999% of people don't have weak enough knees to have them break like that nor are they flexible enough to lock their knees at over 180 degree angle with the pad.

Its like guillotining yourself in the squat rack. Its actually very easy to do if you un-rack way more weight than you should and try to squat forward.

that's 2nd year CompSci @ Uni material. Teaching public school students introductory programming, which will foster logical thinking and an appreciation/understanding of discrete mathematics, is a splendid idea.

Lol yeah, public school cs classes? We're on motherfucking MIT's Scratch project, full of shitty programming techniques and disgusting animation, and the networking is bullshit. At least last year we had learned a real programming language.

While I have no problem with introductory programming courses being offered, I really don't think anyone other than advanced students would be able to understand discrete mathematics in highschool. I'm pretty sure Hillary was trying to say we need to teach computer literacy to everyone, anyway.

Really whatever you learn in highschool is pretty basic level stuff anyway, like it pretty much gives you the stuff you need to be a code monkey and that's basically it.

I don't get this stupid push to have everyone code. People think they are going to be designing robots or something and don't relieze that "coding" is like "writing"--a shit-ton of work that takes weeks, months, even years to complete and that's not taking into account the time it takes just to be able to invest that shit-ton of work into something meaningful. You'll only stick with it if you actually enjoy the most basic, monotonous parts of it, which these CS trumpeters never mention.

Well, that's bullshit. Oh, I've been trying to learn networking and OS basics, but can't find a good source that teaches it well. Almost everything I try is way too basic or way above my head. Could you redirect me, please?
