What is it about computer science that makes it a meme?
Why should/shouldn't it be classified under a "science" term?
is it more like an engineering field?
As a side note, a lot of brainlets in school thought making a powerpoint or being good at using windows meant they are destined to be an expert at computers and then some meme teacher tells them to do computer science and they ultimately fail heavily. Hence why at many low-tier universities comp sci degrees have a high failure rate.

>Why should/shouldn't it be classified under a "science" term?
because it doesn't follow the scientific method
>>8825237
Comp Science is at it's very core and pure level a better science than other fields. It has better fundamental questions than in any other field.

So you're implying that every field that doesn't utilise the traditional scientific method in every single problem isn't science?
I would disagree that computer science doesn't utilise the scientific method.
Hey /sci/. I'm the guy who mixed CuSO4+NaCl+Al of some days ago. I've let the reaction go for 2 and a half days and now the bubbling of hydrogen has stopped. There is a lot of bluish stuff in the solution and this is what it looks like. What salt/salts is this? Could it be CuCl2 which is green-blue in colour?
did you cum in a mango
The salt probably dissolved into the copper sulfate.

what?
So... here's the thing...
I'm 29 years old.
Between 18 and 27 years I did random jobs, lazied about a lot and basically wasted my youth.
Now I'm currently halfway in my way to an Accounting degree which I got suckered into mostly because of parental pressure after getting my shit together.
By the time I graduate I will be 31-32.
But I've realized that I hate Accounting, and that STEM (Biology actually) is what I've loved since I was a kid.
My question... is 32 years old too late to start a STEM career?
Is it worth it? Should I finish my current degree? How much of a difference do those 3 years make?
Or is it too late anyway?
No, it's not too late. My colleague started his degree at 31 and now is pursuing a Ph.D in physics at the age of 35.
Robin Hanson (look him up) managed a mid-30s career change but (a) he was very accomplished in his former field, (b) a genius with an IQ in the high 150s, (c) worked his ass off, and he still *barely* got tenure at a university. It depends what you want to do, of course, but this should give you some idea of the ridiculous hatred for people who try to change paths after their 30s.
Genius or brainlet?
smart guy but used his intellect for fucking nothing. not that I mind, it was his life

>Fuller was the second World President of Mensa from 1974 to 1983.[2]
>He had trouble with geometry, being unable to understand the abstraction that a chalk dot on the blackboard represented a mathematical point, or that an imperfectly drawn line with an arrow on the end was meant to stretch off to infinity.
What the fuck? How can someone with mensa-level intellect struggle with basic geometry?
3 to 4 standard deviations is a reasonable guess. Clearly bright and creative, but not preternaturally so. A lot of productive generalists are in this range.

Is it possible for a function, say f(x), to have a derivative equal to itself? The closest I can find is 2.7^x, but as soon as I try to inch closer with 2.75^x it starts diverging again

CS-majored idiot here. I'm willing to dedicate my time to read just one book on math and one book on physics to make myself less retarded. I want as much understanding of modern physics per buck as possible. What do I go with?
>>8857462
Try Bourbaki for maths. It's really just one book.

I swear once I found a Functional Analysis book for mentally challenged people.
Are y'all ready for some REAL science? It's time to get with the times and realize gender is a SPECTRUM.

A thread died for this, OP.
http://citizengo.org/en-us/39715-tell-national-geographic-gender-ideology-harms-children
>96,752 people have signed. Help us reach 100,000 signatures.
On August 17, 2016, the American College of Pediatricians issued a statement saying “gender Ideology harms children,” and “urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts – not ideology – determine reality.” In their statement, they go on to say “a person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking.”
These statements are supported by three leading medical doctors in the field, including Paul McHugh, M.D., University Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medical School and the former psychiatrist in chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
The statement goes on to say "Conditioning children into believing that a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse."
Guys it's much worse than we ever imagined

THE RACE FOR MARS IS OFFICIALLY OVER.
Say bye bye to any chance of seeing a man on mars in your lifetime.
Since Elon Musk is out of the game, how many years we will have to wait for another guy like him to show up.
RIP marsboy
There's already fags on Mars.

>Why is it that most (not all) scientists are pure unadulterated jerks?
Is it a characteristic of intelligent cucks?
>>8859880
No. It's a characteristic of living in a rock and having no social interaction for 18 years.
>>8859880
its all ego and getting your name into a book
>>8859880
How many scientists have you met or actually seen interacting with other people? Probably not many, if any at all. They're just people.
>Money doesn't bring happiness
Is this true?
False. Ask Eon Mosque or Papa John.
>>8859735
Not necessarily, but it certain can create the environment where happiness, or rather contentment can be achived. It's definitely awesome not having to deal with a shiton of anxiety and stress that's slowly killing you because you can't pay the rent, nutrition or education to reach your full potential.
can you please help me in identifying whats happening to me. I am having partial seizures, but with very specific symptoms and I would like to know exactly what type of epilepsy or episode is this.
Please help, internet is very wide and I have read a bunch of things but haven't pinpoint what is it.
here they are

>lose balance
>fall
>black out and hallucinate
>shake

sounds like rectal cancer
>>8859132
O yes and it is usually triggered by lack of air, like if I am getting up too fast, or smoking a cigarrette and coughing
>>8859135
this is all I am going to get isnt it?
well, I should have expect it hahaha
