Is it better substantiated if I post a source? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-15/1746-american-adult...

I studied for four years during my bachelor at Utrecht University, and during that I spent half a year at UCSB (See my other post with all the courses I followed).

At my university, they have a CS program without math, and on top of that an easier major (it's not officially, but everyone considers it an easier version of CS) which is called "information sciences". This program has easie

For those interested, I studied at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. The CS courses I took were: Imperative programming (learned C#, nice course), Computer science project (program something in a group), Logic for computer science, Web

I don't think math majors consider statistics a math course. I should note that I did study a year in California. There, the computer science was much harder, and the math was much easier (scored straight A's in math courses liter

Well, I took the route you suggested (the CS program). I liked to program when I entered, but most of that joy is gone now. I had the same in high school with reading. I might be downplaying CS programs, I just experienced one of them. In t

I'm not saying git is a useless tool. I simply think that if a course expects more than common knowledge of the tool, it should teach it too. You can't expect someone without git experience to fix broken repository. Furthermore, I

That's funny, I never heard of the result. Thanks for the information!

No, everybody hated it. I didn't learn git. There was a weekly assignment, and I ended up mailing the TA every other week at the day of the deadline because I broke the repository again (thankfully, he was very understanding and helpfu

We followed a very different program then! Maybe the one you described would be better for me. In the program I followed, students learn how to program (which I already could), and that's about it.

In my experience it is much more stressful and hard to learn these things for a course, because you're not interested in them but HAVE to use them in order to do something (e.g. hand in your assignment with git). Now I'm looking a

It is crazy. To be fair, there was some math buried in the courses (like modular arithmetic in the cryptography class, and some discrete math in the concurrency class), but it felt rather awkward and not relevant to the classes.

True, you can make it as difficult as you want. But generally, math, physics, and engineering programs are much harder.

Ow, come on. I get the point, but it's well known that American education isn't doing too well on geography, and the media in the rest of the world is a lot more interested in the US than the other way around.

Working on the last year of my masters degree. I switched to computer engineering. Basically I was busy learning the things I missed during my bachelor.

Just a vanilla computer science program. I combined it with a math major. I think the program at my uni was especially soft; there were no math courses at all. I suspect it's a bit better at a 'technical university' (I do my

I remember this too. For me it was the other way around. I learned QBasic - which I still think is awesome, even it was for DOS only - first. Then I learned C# in my first year at uni and it was a breeze. There were basically the people who

Such a check would be very useful for checking domains. Right now, a malicious attacker could register google.com, but with one of the characters replaced by a (nearly) identical looking unicode symbol. Then, the attacker could use HTTPS an

My comment may look kind of trollish, but I'm rather serious. The American media has a serious disinterest in news that is not American. On the hand, this is understandable, since the USA is so big. However, most Americans do not reali

Great article. I especially like the interpretation of the statistics by the author, which is, well, hardly any interpretation at all: "One 2014 study of more than 3,000 people in Finland found that the amount of sleep that correlated

Let me phrase it this way: one would expect that the class of file formats for subtitles are easiest to handle (as opposed to say, the class of file formats for images or videos). On the other hand, images and videos are likely to be handle

When I was doing a little research on great mathematicians, I found exactly the opposite: 90% was either home schooled or had education at some elite institution.

The thing that most amazes my about Popcorn Time is how they find the subtitles. It seems to succeed even when I can't find subtitles myself. More related to the article, you would think that subtitles are literally the easiest file fo
