That's neat. I enjoyed abstract algebra but mostly only needed the linear algebra part since then (11 years ago). Rotation groups and some other stuff relevant to geometry, but not much more. Cryptography seems interesting, we did cover RSA at some point, I only remember the main idea, that factoring is hard 😁

@ThisIsChris wellyeah, some pajeets found a way to crack RSA with you guessed it, Galois fields

2018-10-22 07:42:06 UTC  

Is that a recent thing?

2018-10-22 07:42:10 UTC  

yeah

2018-10-22 07:42:12 UTC  

like a year or so

2018-10-22 07:42:43 UTC  

it's amazing how irrelevant Abstract Algebra used to be until computers, and now it's hella important

2018-10-22 07:42:47 UTC  

Huh no kidding. Guess I better put 2FA on my bank accounts then

2018-10-22 07:45:28 UTC  

yep

2018-10-22 07:45:36 UTC  

idk about you, my dad make me take applied math

2018-10-22 07:45:49 UTC  

it was "fun" i guess, but I really want to go back to college and get a pure math degree

2018-10-22 07:45:52 UTC  

later

pure math is so much more fun that learning about how to earn money at google

2018-10-22 07:47:09 UTC  

"pure math is fun" I will never understand you types

2018-10-24 03:54:06 UTC  

I'll stop there

2018-10-24 06:23:54 UTC  

@YourFundamentalTheorum haha I like the sigma algebra one but don't get the epic one? It's a true statement if f is 1-1 and onto. Not sure what else.

2018-10-24 06:24:54 UTC  

@ThisIsChris epic means an epimorphism

2018-10-24 06:25:01 UTC  

which is literally defined by that equation

2018-10-24 06:25:12 UTC  

so f is epic

2018-12-15 23:02:36 UTC  

So this Julian Von Abele's phsyics QCI theory of physics- anyone think anything of it?

2018-12-15 23:12:01 UTC  

@Jonaltright I'm thinking of buying the book to support him, I don't really know what his theory is. I did take a physics class in college so I hope I can understand something of it 😁

2018-12-15 23:15:05 UTC  

Yeah I saw people doing that. I'm sure they'll suspend publication once they see an uptick in sales though :(

2018-12-15 23:16:39 UTC  

Hopefully he makes out ok. Doxxing has been devastating for me

2018-12-15 23:18:48 UTC  

@ThisIsChris Physics classes can be harsh. I took some to fulfill return requirements for a computer science degree. Are they actually useful in your career?

2018-12-16 03:39:01 UTC  

@Jacob Some intro to physics is a "now to know" but not "need to know". The main use in my career has been to better understand some calculus concepts, since the beginnings of calculus and physics are tightly connected.

2018-12-16 03:40:09 UTC  

😳

2018-12-16 03:40:21 UTC  

you actually use calculus in your job?

2018-12-16 03:40:39 UTC  

I heard programmers don't actually use it

2018-12-16 03:56:30 UTC  

I'll DM you

2018-12-16 04:25:41 UTC

Hey, has anyone here changed careers using a 'code bootcamp'? Or is anyone a front-end web developer? I want to get a new job as a web developer this summer.

2019-01-01 19:06:58 UTC  

I’m currently trying to do that. Just going off of free courses online as of now

2019-01-01 20:59:59 UTC  

Cool @VinceChaos. I've been doing that for a few years now, but wasn't really taking it seriously. Now I'm doing a code bootcamp. What courses are you doing? Codecademy? W3Schools?

2019-01-01 21:15:17 UTC  

@NuclearReactionary Khan Academy, the Odin project, SoloLearn, and another that I can’t remember the name of rn
