| Computer science on the field is ugly. I went in university to learn physics, so I have my geometry and numerical analysis basic understanding. I honestly thinks people who learnt it has a cursus for graduating did not care, and that they actually don't understand their difficulties even though they learnt about it. They don't see it is a float. One of the other misconception I have to fight with is what is time. CS engineer believe in a perfect synchronized time and timestamp that are monotonicly growing the same everywhere with a 10-9 precision and rely on that for distributed systems. My guts (and general relativity too I guess) are telling me they are wrong. But since I am stuck reimplementing a bubble sort for phone numbers I don't quite have the time to work on it. I have to live with my tingling intuitions telling me I am either an overpessimistic ass being a pain for my colleague that is becoming obsolete by lack of studying, or the whole industry seems getting more magic oriented than science oriented. Anyway, like a lot of people I am getting inadapted out there. At least, I have spare time to work on game of life and complex systems... sometimes, and I have a lovely caring wife, so I am happy either way :) |
