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.

my summer vacation have been so busy…
some of the things i have been up to: i started a ux/ui bootcamp, moved to my first apartment, started driving lessons and i’m currently focusing on front-end development.
a gentle reminder:
it’s only delusional until it’s done.

I had a busy day today, I had to code for some hours and wrote my physics report, It's almost done and I need to deliver it tomorrow. I studied Russian, studied a bit of physics concepts and I'm working on my portfolio to show my codes and the projects I've done.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic
Those are words of Arthur C. Clarke, but I do not think he was exactly right.
We now live in a world where every one of us has a personal device that allows them to communicate with the whole world, if they wish so, read and research any piece of information, watch from endless well of content. And yet how many of us can actually explain how exactly does it work? If it gets broken, how many of us can open and fix it?
We're now slowly coming to terms with the fact that Gen Z and Gen Alpha, which everyone assumed will be more tech-savvy than Millenials, are technology illiterate, having to learn from the basics any UI that isn't the touchscreen tiles.
Both of those are by design, as the corporations do not want us to be able to repair or tinker with their product, just buy a new one whenever something goes wrong. The way young people have been taught to operate a smartphone and an ipad was purposefully designed to discourage learning past the basics, or they'll "mess around" in the programming or see past the marketing guy's bullshit when he is selling them new one. Hell, so much of grift of NFTs crypto and AI relies on people not understanding how it actually works. This is why AI bros love the "you say AI is bad but can you explain what it actually does?" defense, trying to lord over how smart they are over "the masses", rely on ignorance to push through the scam.
In one of the Witcher stories, I forgot which one, Geralt mocking asks a wizard to explain the difference between menstrual blood of a teenage virgin struck by lightning in an open field of dandelions under clear sky at midnight of the winter solstice, and blood of old peasant matron that drunkinly stumbled and fell off a cliff last thuesday, and what makes the former necessary for magic rituals in the way the latter cannot substitute for. The wizard, smugly, admits he's actually using pig's blood. But if any peasant would know that would suffice, they would be doing magic themselves, instead of paying him. And if too many people would be doing magic, the profession would be far less prestigious. And far less profitable.
Clarke was, fundamentally wrong. It's not advancement that makes technology indistinguishible from magic, at least not on it's own. it's how much work wizard from Silicon Valley put into obsctructing its nature and making sure no one but them understands it.

i find it really funny how computers are a bunch of rocks that some people learned how to communicate with, they’re using some weird unknown language that you need to learn for years, and a bunch of symbols that they write on the stones. and then they combine these stones with other stones so normies could see cats from the past. like it’s literally a magic system we just call it “software engineering”. someone need to make a book or a dnd campaign where the magic system is just computers.

Tech jobs requirements prt 1 | Resource ✨
Tumblr media
I decided to do my own mini research on what languages/frameworks/tools and more, are required when looking into getting a job in tech! Read below for more information! 🤗🎀
Tumblr media
The website I have used and will be using for this research is Otta (link) which is an employment search service based in London, England that mostly does tech jobs. What they take into consideration are:
ꕤ Where would you like to work? (Remote or in office in UK, Europe, USA and, Toronto + Vancouver in Canada)
ꕤ If remote, where you are based?
ꕤ If you need a visa to work elsewhere
ꕤ What language you can work in? (English, French, Spanish, etc)
ꕤ What type of roles you would like to see in your searches (Software Engineering, Data, Design, Marketing, etc)
ꕤ What level of the roles you would like? (Entry, Junior, Mid-Level, etc)
ꕤ Size of the company you would like to work in (10 employees to 1001+ employees)
ꕤ Favourite industries you would like to work for (Banking, HR, Healthcare, etc) and if you want to exclude any from your searches
ꕤ Favourite technologies (Scala, Git, React, Java, etc) and if you want to exclude any
ꕤ Minimum expected salary (in £, USD $, CAD $, €)
With this information, I created a dummy profile who is REMOTE based IN THE UK with ENTRY/JUNIOR level and speaks ENGLISH. I clicked all for technologies and industries. Clicked all the options for the size of the company and set the minimum salary at £20k (the lower the number the more job posts will appear) I altered my search requirements to fit these job roles because these are my preferred roles:
ꕤ Software Developer + Engineer
ꕤ Full-Stack
ꕤ Backend
ꕤ Frontend
ꕤ Data
I searched 40 job postings so far but might increase it to 100 to be nice and even. I will keep updating every week for a month to see what is truly the most in-demand in the technology world! I might be doing this research wrong but it's all for fun! ❀

hi! icy here! ♡
i am currently studying computer engineering as my college major. i have great interest with the intersection between design and engineering.
in my free time, i love to learn (just learning in general). some of my favorite hobbies are ballet, reading books and playing video games. i also love being creative... i also really like anything related to astronomy and self-improvement.
academic interests: engineering, computer engineering, ux/ui design, human computer interaction, design, ai, robotics, astrophysics i have degrees in history (focus is on american immigrant history), visual communication design (graphic design) and liberal arts.
i don't think i'll ever stop learning.
i hope that sharing my journey would help and inspire someone out there. ♡
icy's (big sis advice portion): i know it may get overwhelming sometimes but here is a reminder that you are right in the middle of something you used to pray for... be kind to yourself and trust the process...
