Ask HN: Attend a post-baccalaureate CS program or double down on self-study?
Read on for background to my question, or see the TL;DR below.

TL;DR:

Do I go for the post-baccalaureate degree in CS, or do I double down on self-teaching?

- I won't have student loans because paying out-of-pocket.

- Complete the program = full-fledged B.S. in Computer Science, no caveats.

- I work in software as a technical writer currently and have a liberal arts degree.

I've been working in the software industry as a technical writer for a little over a year now, and I was recently accepted to Oregon State University's online post-baccalaureate Computer Science degree program.

I applied to Oregon State's program because I've been teaching myself some computer science fundamentals over the last year or so, and it's a subject that really interests me. Learning some web development in 2020 helped me switch from being a marketing copywriter at a government contractor to technical writer at a software company.

Before I applied to Oregon State, I was finding information on computer science wherever I could: free university courses on YouTube, Udemy courses, software engineers' blogs, textbooks I bought or rented from my local library, you name it. I've learned a lot, but my self-imposed learning plans can get a little scatterbrained because there's so much to learn.

Oregon State's program is all-online and costs about $36K start to finish. I've got a pretty flexible job schedule as is, so I'd be working full-time and taking a class or two every quarter. I'd pay out of pocket for the degree, so no loans.

A few things I like about the Oregon State option:

- I don't have to take all the core education requirements. It's basically a few lower-division intro CS courses, but the rest are all upper-division CS.

- I know there are great online master's programs in CS, like Georgia Tech's, but Oregon State's would make me learn the fundamentals that I didn't get in my first degree (which is in liberal arts). I know it seems odd to go back for a second bachelor's degree, but I wouldn't want to be overwhelmed by graduate-level courses I'm not ready for in a post-grad program.

- If I complete the program, I'll end up with a full-fledged Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree from Oregon State. No asterisks; I'll have the same credential as any other CS undergrad from Oregon State.

I'd like to take my career into a more technical area, partially because I'm interested in technology and partially for financial growth opportunities. I know I can learn about the technical stuff for free (mostly), but there are some jobs that literally require a CS degree. On top of that, I don't want to be unprepared for highly technical problems in future roles.

Any guidance/perspective will help. Thanks!
With an Indian company, you can fund phd research through the prime ministers fund (they pay the remainder of the fees and support). I think it is a wonderful program. Assume funding a top PhD student might be $20k per year.

If I had the gumption and ready money, I would just reach out to university deans with a letter indicating an intent to fund a particular profile. It might help to have a professor in the USA to help with the mentoring, because some of the academic connections may be valuable.

But this particular topic has potential because the tech could be cutting edge — so you can contribute to a field that has been very staid.

Think about it these terms: originally there are 100 people in the line because the 101st will not queue since the time to get to the beginning of the line is more valuable than the raspberries at the controlled price. If nothing changes there will not be more people in that queue.

When the government gives free coffee to the people in line now the perceived value is the value of the raspberries at the controlled price plus the $ .75 of the coffee, making it worth to queue more - until the queue gets to the length at which the waiting time exceeds the value of the added coffee.

You can make all the predictions you want. Predictions are forward looking, not backwards. Saying your predictions are obviously correct in hindsight is engaging in survivorship bias.

Easy way to prove this is to ask people what the obvious winners and losers will be in the next 5 years, and then see how they've allocated they're investments to that. If you can predict the market so obviously, you'll be rich.
For the current reality that is directories and files, you can get pretty far with sed, grep, git grep, shell scripting, find -type f -name 'foo' -exec ... '{}' ';', etc, etc...

Meh. You still seem like you're so fixed on making your point that you're entirely missing mine.

My point is that the way that they were censored made it easier for them to find a likeminded echo chamber that helped them become radicalized extremists. And now rather than dealing with obnoxious idiots with a few bad ideas, we've got an armed rabble. Which is far worse.

Whether or not this dynamic happened is completely independent of the specific extremist rhetoric that they absorbed. But having been on the receiving end of a liberal conspiracy to censor information which might be supportive of Trump, it was easier for them to take everything that Trump said to its illogical extremes. And it was easy to discount all information coming from any source which denied the existence of the conspiracy that they experienced.

The result is that they were convinced that powerful liberal forces had subverted democracy and were trying to shut down the truth that Trump presented. This made Trump's lies about a stolen election very believable to them. And they got fired up enough about such conspiracy theories that it came to seem reasonable to them to ensure that the TRUE will of the American people prevail, even if that required undoing electoral fraud by tying down representatives with zipties and making them recognize Trump as President. And executing those at the heart of enabling this fraud to destroy democracy.

If we don't like this outcome then it is on us to decide how to handle such extremists. My position is that it is best to undo the conditions that encourage the creation of extremism. An alternative position is to fight fire with fire, to become as extreme in opposing the extremists as they are in fighting for what they believe.

However I fear that the alternative position, as emotionally satisfying as it might be, is a recipe to turn political polarization into political unrest and potentially into a civil war down the road. Enough other countries have gone down that road to project what it would be likely to happen then. And it isn't pretty.

Everything that I've said is part of an argument about how to best respond to the potential for extremism. None of it legitimizes extremism or extremist positions.
At least in my experience dynamic programming only comes up when I'm studying for interviews.

> Crypto is promising a financial system that has so far appeared to be much more resilient than the traditional system

I strongly disagree with this. When SVB failed, there was a system in place to insure some of the depositors' funds. The government chose to augment that by insuring all the depositors' funds. That was an unusual move, and then the banking system returned to normal when a better capitalized bank took over SVB's assets and liabilities. The bank failure cost those who invested in the bank. It cost the bank management. It did not cost the depositors.

When a crypto exchange fails, depositor funds are unrecoverable. There is no system to protect the depositors, no system to recover funds from the failed exchange.

While financial authoritarianism is imperfect, its rules are designed to reduce fraud and to reduce the impact of fraud on innocent bystanders.

x86 has more pathways (interconnects), x86 implements a "mesh" design, which is a low-latency, high-power configuration of pathways. ARM uses a neat hierarchical design that favors low-power consumption.

So, given a x86 and an ARM chip with the same number of transistors, the ARM one will still be a simpler, low-power chip with probably a higher number of cores.

>As an atheist I'm perfectly fine with people having beliefs.

This rings hollow, because as soon as we want to police our own communities according to our laws suddenly it becomes 'you are sexist, you are homophobic, you are anti-democratic, now hand over your children, your wealth and your guns'.

>What I do have a problem with, is them imposing their values and morals on me, or judging me by them. They should keep that within their own communities.

So that we can instead have your morals and values imposed on us?

>But I would not wish to suppress other beliefs as long as they don't impose their values upon atheists or followers of other belief systems. And if they do try to do so my problem is with that imposition alone.

So you would have no problem with Christians fining other Christians for premarital sex, or imprisoning women for having abortions, or Muslims flogging other Muslims for engaging in sodomy? Hell, what if we just don't want to bake a cake for a gay couple?

>Something that does not affect or hurt them at all. I never understand the reason for this.

Our morals are based on our religious texts. It has nothing to do with whether we feel 'affected' in the short term.

This resonates with me and I'm in a similar stage.

I'd like something between hooking up with a stranger and recreating my life (again) around a new person. It's hard to do that once you're older and I'm actively avoiding being financially intertwined with another person.

Besides having a lot to lose, I also question if I'm desired because of what I can financially bring to the table and as a labor source. Maybe I'm cynical, but this seems to be the calculus of a lot of single parents. I'm not looking to be the solution to someone else's life problems.
I think this has "because" and "despite" flipped. The internet took off despite federation, because it let people do things they couldn't otherwise do.

But reinventing something that everyone can already do (eg. tweeting) with federation is not a winning game.

I think humans want to explore it with intelligent beings, not necessarily “humans”. These new technologies have the potential to create agents in the movie “Her” sense that are compelling to interact with. The metaverse applicability seems clear.

> If it wasn't for a good portion of tech leads FAANG aspirational goals I bet a lot more companies would be on monoliths.

I think you inadvertently pointed out one of the advantages of microservices: the ability to bootstrap ideas without having to be hindered by artificial barriers to entry. If you have an idea and want to show it off, you just implement it and make it available to the public. Call it "aspirational goals", but I don't see any advantage in barring people from providing value without having to wrangle bureaucracies, red tape, and office politics.
This isn't a new idea whatsoever. Even going back to the '90s, Windows had ads, but people have a very selective memory. This is likely where the anecdote came from in first place.

> Console emulators (especially of the HLE variety) seem to have a similar flow.

Good insight.

I was going through this same spiel in my head the other day.

It's a flow that if properly managed can provide a good feedback system. It provides the developer positive feedback and at the same time successful milestones.

Say I'm building an emulator for a simple architecture with a few dozen opcodes...

"Alright. Let's start. Where do I start? How about NOP." So you implement NOP. You write some tests for it. Maybe you build a pretty printer into your opcode and you test it on disassembling a single byte file with a single NOP opcode.

Suddenly you have a working dissassembler! It's obviously an artificial toy, but it works.

Maybe next you add an INC instruction. Add some tests. You'll need registers...

Build a simple one INC opcode binary file. Maybe add an executor in addition to a dissassembler. Suddenly you've got registers working. And if if add another INC opcode byte, you can see your emulator changing behavior based on real external input!

And so on. It's an interesting flow, you're right.
You're getting downvoted, but I'm not entirely sure why. It's not some toxic Andrew-Tate-esque take to consider low testosterone as a possibility for the lack of drive the author mentions.

Personally, I plan on doing it soon, there's no harm in it.

Yet trying to get my keyboard to be properly configured on Mac OS is next to impossible. The time I spent trying to get it configured is comical, I just decided to get used that a couple of keys are switched around.

Doing the same on Windows or Linux was pleasantly easy.

Mac OS sacrifices usability in the name of having a "sexy" interface. There's nothing user friendly about it.

It was an argument from one of the definitely-not moral panicking Florida legislators whose legislation you're defending. Sounds super scientific to me!

Drag shows aren't necessarily about sexual attraction and most the definitely not moral panicking laws in question makes being a "male impersonator" or "female impersonator" in the presence of children (or in some cases within quarter of a mile of them!) a felony rather than the actual content, which would be a shame for the pantomimes I used to attend as a kid. And strangely, there wasn't much porn in classrooms before the definitely-not-moral-panicking parent vetting organizations started picking titles like Anne Frank's Diary as "sexually explicit"
Maybe I'm totally misunderstanding, but figuring out the "best current path" means re-running A* every time you break a wall, as removing arbitrary walls can give you a totally new path to the goal; to wit, it might be a path not even originally visited by A*. And you have to do that every time you try out a wall candidate, so to me this appears to be quadratic(ish) complexity.

(But maybe this is exactly what the SO answer does "under the hood," to be honest, I haven't done a deep complexity analysis of it and I haven't thought about this problem in ages.)
My guess is (since I don't claim to be a 4chan expert), in the beginning, 4chan users were just being edgy by being trolls and being for the choices that would lead to chaos (by being not politically correct, by supporting Donald Trump), but this attracted many genuine right-wingers, and if they do bother to hang out there, that would mean 4chan has become a far-right message board.
> I then push them on this until they realize that any implementation of the dictionary lookup function of a string would be o(n) at best, and as such the total runtime of the solution is O(n²).

Is that true?

I am actually siding towards the candidates on this one

presumably it would be O(n_words_in_dictionary) for the dictionary check, which as the number of words in the dictionary is constant, would make the overall algorithm O(n) ...
Does anyone know of the devices will work even locally? That would provide some value, though of course most of the value is in remote notifications and status availability.

Separately, is there any chance that folks here might be able to come up with something like Rebble to give these devices life into the future? I have a lot of sensors and hate to think this will go completely to waste!

UPDATE: If these will still run locally (like they can now when my wifi is down), then I'd probably buy a HomePod Mini and train it on the Nest's alarm sound for use with the Sound Detection feature. [1] I first heard of this feature at an Apple presentation at the CSUN Assistive Technology conference and thought it sounded really useful.

Although it wouldn't let me know what door/window was opened, it would at least send an alert to my phone so that I would know to look into things further.

Yes, that's mostly true. In terms of the tendency of government regulators to have been ex-corporate middle managers, this is called 'the revolving door'.
An equivalent formulation to the SO solution with a simple implementation is to double the vertices and edges in the graph G by making a duplicate parallel universe G'. One can always move from v in G to its corresponding v' in G' at zero cost, but there is also a cost-1 edge from vertex u in G to v' in G' whenever u and v are separated by a wall. Once one crosses into G', there is no going back.

One can pass the new graph, G ∪ G' plus all the intermediate edges, into the already existing A* implementation to search for an optimal s-t' path. This works as long as the heuristic for v is also admissible for v', but most are. I think all three of these algorithms could in principle run into problems for certain uncommon admissible heuristics.
