Hi /sci/, I'm a newfag. Why is CS considered a meme?
I'm on my first year of CS and I fucking love it. I honestly didn't even went to CS after the money.
And well, I hope I don't end up as a code monkey. What are your thoughts?

It is considered a meme because it is considered as the new-age factory job.
To draw out the analogy, yes you can be a factory worker making sure the machine is working. Or you can be an engineer making sure it doesnt break. Or you can be a scientist developing new ways to accomplish the same process.
Code monkeys fall under the category of being just factory workings in the realm of STEM, at the same level or below as technicians.
Long story short, you can do brilliant things with CS but it is easier to fall into overly simplified grunt work, hence the meme.

Am I autistic if I use one of these to concentrate when I study?
I'm not hyperactive or anything but all these intense stimuli we get exposed to like videogames and TV make it hard for me to focus sometimes

Is it still a reference 40 years later ?
How much time will it still hold before relativity get beaten by a quatum gravitational model ?
Are you hyped ?
Will you buy it ?
Have you prepared yourself with a course on special relativity ?

1. 0.99999.... is not 1
2. Light DOES have a mass it just hasn't been measured yet
3. The Higgs Boson is a fake discovery and it's supposed spin is not being "revealed" for some reason
4. Solar roads are forgotten about mysteriously probably due to the big money flowing from Elon Musk to shush such ideas
5. -1/12 fags need to off themselves
6. Squaring the circle should not be allowed for a mathematical proof (muh hyberbolic you just don't get it)
7. Using "brainlet" should get you permabanned.
8. Pic unrelated just really into them right now

Start with expansion of universe ( different ages of the evolving universe
Then hit on star formations, basics of nuclear fusion, diff types of stars.
Then planetary formation and composition
Then relate planets and sun, discuss methods of finding other planets in solar universe
Maybe some bubble theory to keep your panties wet

So, what's up with this current fad of getting a solar celling, connecting it to a Peltier heat pump (basically making a dehumidifier) and proceeding to call it 'ground breaking' water collection technology that is going to revolutionise the world?
Whereas it is equally as beneficial (and saves money in R&D) to simply get a solar panel and hook it up to a pre-built dehumidifier?
What is up with this and why are so many 'engineers' claiming this 'breakthrough'?

Have there been any studies done on the ejaculation strength and how it relates to the sex of the offspring?
Pic related basically explains my reasoning:
The more force behind your ejaculation, the further ahead the female sperm will be relative to the male sperm. Conversely, the less distance between the male and female sperm, the more likely the male sperm is to overtake the female sperm. So basically the hypothesis is that more powerful ejaculation = higher probability of producing a female. Thoughts?

either way you should abort it because you're going to get klinefelter babies with sperm like that

Ok, disregarding that. Is there anything blatantly retarded about my hypothesis?

a sperm doesn't immediately fertilize the egg upon reaching it
a large number of sperm can reach the egg and basically orbit it until one of them is permitted to enter

If you hooked up electrodes to a car battery and stuck one electrode up your butt and touched the other to your tongue, how much of a shock would you experience? What's the electrical resistance between your mouth and anus? Post sources; I was having trouble finding any.

I wouldn't do that. I'm not sure of the electrical resistance between the mouth and anus but through your blood stream it is low enough that it is theoretically possible that a 9v battery can stop your heart if you pierce both your hands.

This, while a great achievement, has sold his ideas and views to idiots out there. Anyone with enough time and money could of done this as well but its ridiculous this man is given credit for those he hired to make it an accomplishment
>>8884758
Well this is true that he has shown great interest, I find it now that he trying to pull out anything out of his ass to just generate more hype for his business instead of making any real progress. All he has been doing is combing old tech.

Hey, Canadafag here, my little bro is in grade 10 now and he wants to do something useful for grade 11 and 12. He's smart but doesnt really want to do shit. I think he got tested for 135IQ, so he has a bunch of schools and programs that would take him. Right now he's looking at AP, and IB. He wants to do IB but he's not sure if it's worth it for university. Any IB grads here that can vouch for it's usefulness for uni applications, and curriculum?

Ib is shit in the sense that they try to teach you "advanced topics" but in a really shit way. At least for science and math. It is challenging though, and if you do well it can aid you if you want to go to college, though it's not that useful in the U.S. But well, all highschool education sucks so just tell him to focus so he can enter a good uni and that he should suck up.
