i found this website called workonclimate and i highly suggest anyone in compsci take a look at it! it genuinely seems to have some pretty cool resources wrt to how you as a person in compsci can help the environment + break into a job that would help stop things like climate change, as well as learning more about things like climate change itself in depth.
they also have a slack group in case any of you are slack users.

learning the linux command line has been fun... stressful but fun... i needed to use additional resources because i didn't really understood what my professor is trying to say... it's an online class without video lectures so it was blegh...

I don't have the kind of reach to get real data for this poll but I'm so curious

I hate being a teaching assistant but I love teaching
I love running my discussion section and walking around to students and talking about their algorithms
I love holding office hours and having students ask me questions about the challenge problems and I get to ask them leading questions and show smaller examples and give them the tools to solve future problems on their own
I love meeting one-on-one with students struggling to pass the class and giving them the focused attention they need to get over their misunderstandings and get a hold of unique strategies that will work for them
I love teaching. I love tutoring. I love guiding.
Why does my job burn me out so

Math... My enemies to lovers troupe in real life. I hate being taught it but I love figuring it out and executing the steps. I was suuuper nervous for this test but I ended up doing really well on it! I got a 93, which is pretty solid in my opinion for a math test with 11 questions. I did get a hot white chocolate mocha though, it was like a motivation for me to keep working!

"Writing for The Guardian, Cathy O'Neil, the American data scientist and author of Weapons of Math Destruction, explains how online tech-hiring platform Gild (which has now been bought and brought in-house by investment firm Citadel) enables employers to go well beyond a job applicant's CV, by combing through their 'social data'. That is, the trace they leave behind them online. This data is used to rank candidates by 'social capital' which basically refers to how integral a programmer is to the digital community. This can be measured through how much time they spend sharing and developing code on development platforms like GitHub or Stack Overflow. But the mountains of data Gild sifts through also reveal other patterns.
"For example, according to Gild's data, frequenting a particular Japanese manga site is a 'solid predictor of strong coding'. Programmers who visit this site therefore receive higher scores. Which all sounds very exciting, but as O'Neil points out, awarding marks for this rings immediate alarm bells for anyone who cares about diversity. Women, who as we have seen do 75% of the world's unpaid care work, may not have the spare leisure time to spend hours chatting about manga online. O'Neil also points out that 'if, like most of techdom, that manga site is dominated by males and has a sexist tone, a good number of the women in the industry will probably avoid it'. In short, Gild seems to be something like the algorithm form of the male computer-science teacher from the Carnegie programme.
"Gild undoubtedly did not intend to create an algorithm that discriminated against women. They were intending to remove human biases. But if you aren't aware of how those biases operate, if you aren't collecting data and taking a little time to produce evidence-based processes, you will continue to blindly perpetuate old injustices. And so by not considering the ways in which women's lives differ from men's, both on and offline, Gild's coders inadvertently created an algorithm with a hidden bias against women.
"But that's not even the most troubling bit. The most troubling bit is that we have no idea how bad the problem actually is. Most algorithms of this kind are kept secret and protected as proprietary code. This means that we don't know how these decisions are being made and what biases they are hiding. The only reason we know about this potential bias in Gild's algorithm is because one of its creators happened to tell us. This, therefore, is a double gender data gap: first in the knowledge of the coders designing the algorithm, and second, in the knowledge of society at large, about just how discriminatory these AIs are."
Excerpt from Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez, 2019.

hi. to anyone who sees this- if you are doing (or have done) like a time consuming or 'difficult' degree that requires a lot of work can you please tell me how you manage it? like how do you make time for doing other things that make you happy? basically how do you not let it become your entire life?
i would really appreciate any tips or answers :)

intro post ~
hi studyblr!
my name's yara (she/her), im 19, and im a second year computer science student from the US.
i've been a lurker on here for years at this point, but since i've largely quit all other social media ive been craving engagement from this app. so im hoping to get to posting my own content on here and engaging a bit more with the studyblr community!
some of my hobbies and interests:
listening to music - i am huge alt/indie music fan. some of my fav artists are paramore, björk, charli xcx, and phoebe bridgers, but im always keeping up with current releases and looking for new stuff
reading
journaling
visual art - ive been experimenting with digital art lately, but my heart lies with traditional mediums tbh
currently studying Japanese in college, so expect some japanese study content!
i do a lot of tutoring work on the side, and i especially like to work with underprivileged kids - educational inequality is an issue very close to my heart
currently im on winter break, so im studying in preparation for the next semester. it's not something i normally do, but i want to take a course on AI next semester so im taking an udemy course on object oriented programming which will (hopefully) prepare me for that. and i need to keep up with my japanese as well.
give me a follow if you'd like, and if you're a studyblr ill be happy to follow back <3

I've been inactive here even though this is a study blog. Major update: just finished my Bachelor degree in computer science! 🎉
I moved to Lausanne, Switzerland in 2019. Living, studying and working abroad during a pandemic was difficult, but rewarding. I'm happy to have experienced this 🤍

hmm you know what would be cool. having a discord server or something for all of the codeblr blogs. i don't really have any programmer friends that i can talk to regularly, and it'd be neat to maybe interact with a few mutuals and get to know each other (i'm a little shy so it can be hard reaching out one-on-one)
it wouldn't be only mutuals of course, and i don't know if anyone would actually be interested, but if you are feel free to reply/reblog/like/dm (who knows - it might even be a general studyblr or stemblr thing?)

A dumb idea for fast file traversal with bash
Pre-ramble
Over the last couple of years I've been trying to get into the whole personal knowlege managment craze using obsidian. I find the whole community to feel like self-help-guru types, but that's besides the point. One of the big interest overlaps with the pkm community (likely because of the large number of files they end up working with) is organization and categorization.
I've gone down that rabbit hole a bit too reading up on things like the Johnny.Decimal system or the Library of Congress Classification System, which is itself partially an offshoot of the Cutter Expansive Classification System, or extreamly facinating Colon Classification System. Library science is cool and good, actually.
All this to say, I really like the idea of having a classification system for sorting all my computer documents so that they can live somewhere spesific instead of in ad hoc folder hierarchies that eventually become unmaintainable over time.
Johnny.Decimal and its AC.ID notation is alright for a single project but trying to shove your entire digital life into it absolutly wouldn't work because that's not what it's really ment for. Its creator John Nobel gives the suggestion of having a project number floating outside of the AC.ID notation (e.g. 023 23.24 for file 24 in project 23 secion 2 subsection 3) and feasibly if you could organize all or at least most things as projects this could work. If you gave yourself infinite projects you absolutly could shove everything in there.
It's worth noting at this point that literally everyone I've ever heard talk about this says that this is a really bad stupid idea and you shouldn't do it. However, if the most successful people of the last decade have taught me anything it's that one should never let valid well thought out reasonable critisim stand in the way of just doing stupid shit and pretending you're brilliant for doing so.
The actual thing
So here's my pitch: Have top categories like the Library of Congress CS then projects then Johnny Decimal AC.ID notation.
So a sound in a game I'm working on might be at /documents/maker/games/space_invaders/sounds/player/pewpew.mp3
so I want to cd into that folder. Well with what I've proposed that file might be at Mg 003:31.01. I only need to cd into the folder so imagine some function @ where we can say @ Mg 003:31 and be there.
Bash (shouldn't be on one line, just doesn't render well on the dash)
function @ { cd -P ~/@/"$*" }
If you keep the ~/@ folder (which is filled with symbolic links) populated that's it. It seems to work.
I'll probably expand this into a more fleshed out program but man it's nice so far.
