Whats the opposite of gothic? I'm in love with comp sci anti-gothic where it's just people being surprisingly polite and nice and funny through computers. A program's first lines are always "Hello world!". SMTP protocols apparently say "hello, pleased to meet you" to each other to establish a connection with a handshake. Python has a different version called Andaconda, which has a smaller version called miniconda. C++ is just C continuously improving on itself, because the ++ operator means to add one onto a previous value, and C# is two ++ stacked on top of each other. Lawmakers have to talk about the ethics of saving "cookies" to computers because one guy liked fortune cookies and decided to call them that. The internet itself wasn't created with security in mind because it was just meant to be a way for a group of people who trusted each other using it to send each other information, and so on, and so forth

Being autistic feels like having to emulate brain hardware that most other people have. Being allistic is like having a social chip in the brain that handles converting thoughts into social communication and vice versa while being autistic is like using the CPU to essentially emulate what that social chip does in allistic people.

Skip this paragraph if you know about video codec hardware on GPUs. Similarly, some computers have hardware chips specifically meant for encoding and decoding specific video formats like H.264 (usually located in the GPU), while other computers might not have those chips built in meaning that encoding and decoding videos must be done “by hand” on the CPU. That means it usually takes longer but is also usually more configurable, meaning that the output quality of the CPU method can sometimes surpass the hardware chip’s output quality depending on the settings set for the CPU encoding.

In conclusion, video codec encoding and decoding for computers is to social encoding and decoding for autistic/allistic people.

Personal Update - 1/14/2017

This semester I started at a new college! All though I was almost done at my old school I was very unhappy with where things were going there. My professors were very standoffish and unwilling to answer my questions and I was all around miserable. 

My first few days at this semester have been beyond amazing and I can’t wait to see where the rest of the semester goes.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself forced to learn MATLAB

me? having a breakdown over the 6 colleges i have to supplements for that add up to at least 15 essays? its more likely than you think!

I'm sorry you're going that :( idk if this will be helpful but as someone who is chronically suicidal as well it helps me to think "okay I'm going to wait until I'm 35 before making a decision on whether to stay alive or not and focus my efforts on building a life worth living". If you succeed, you have an happy life. If you fail, that's ok, you have an exit. This thought helped take me from being a 21 y.o. 8th grade dropout with severe disabling BPD to a semi-recovered CompEng/Physics undergrad

That actually is pretty inspiring so thank you for sharing your story ❤

Something that I've been thinking about a lot recently since my therapist brought it up is that I think I quite possibly have a really significant mood disorder or something that just went undiagnosed and unmedicated for too many years. I mean, in the present it could be because I smoke a lot of weed and taking any drug in excess can cause certain issues, but I've always had certain mood swings. I had a period as a young child where if there was going to be a substitute teacher I would stay home that day because I would just be?? Very defensive and hostile towards substitute teachers specifically? Like literally I would be kept home sometimes and at the time we chalked it up to me not adjusting to change really well, something something problem with authority figures, but I also had a period where I got a lot of school suspensions and was even physically fighting with other kids sometimes. Mom shared with me a detail about how her and my sister used to think I would grow up to be a school shooter or something which.... bitch why would you even tell me that, that's rude as hell and i had a lot of trouble at that age, leave me alone 🥺

I always had a lot of issues with depression and anxiety and they were kind of attributed to things and traumas I had gone through, when I'm wondering if there were other causes that were just not considered. I didn't actually even start getting proper therapy or medication until I was in like, middle school I think, and by that point I was having such massive truancy issues. I would literally think about cutting off one of my fingers so I couldn't properly hold a pencil and hope that would mean I wouldn't have to go to school anymore. I mean, the whole reason I never finished high school was partially because we kept moving and I would wind up being yanked from one curriculum to the next and it was hard if not pointless to try and follow, but eventually my anxiety got so bad that I just refused to go and eventually aged out of the system

My therapist kinda keeps swinging around from "is it bipolar? Maybe you should be assessed for bipolar. Then again you have a lot of BPD symptoms, maybe you should be assessed for that" which i understand because psychology is tricky but uh. Yeah. I feel like maybe there's some sort of extra component or factor that isn't being addressed because even as I keep changing medications I still have certain issues 🥺 I actually have a mental health assessment to see if I need a social worker today so. We'll see where that goes!

Hello out there, welcome to my blog!

I’ve been thinking whether creating this blog or not for a long time, but finally I’ve decided to share my knowledge and experience in the CS field. So let me introduce myself:

I’m a 20 something year old MSc CompEng student from southern Europe. I’m currently learning Python and planning to excel in this language. My desire is to get a full time data scientist job after finishing my degree.

Also, I’m fond of some fields such as Art, History, Literature, Science and Techonology, and I love reading books about this fields, as much as I enjoy drawing.

Since I’m a visual learner I’ll try to post as many resources as I get to learn visually some CS concepts , and I may be posting my own stuff!

I’m super excited to join this amazing community! :)
