Jeff AtwoodDo you prefer to perform overt, immediate evil, or slow, indirect evil? 🤔
Billy O'Neal@codinghorror Finance is a STEM major now?
Barry Schwartz 🫖I believe the ‘ST*M’ acronym is evil. It is truly an abomination, an archdemon directly reporting to S*t*n himself.
BTW I majored in engineering in the 1980s, before the evil acronym existed.
BTW, as a past engineering major, I can attest that the diagram is nonsense. Digital signal processing is a branch of engineering. It is very similar to good old analog signal processing, but can be done entirely in software, if need be. And I am currently reading a PhD dissertation on computer graphics software. It comes from an engineering department at Cambridge University.
Theo Honohan@chemoelectric The fields sometimes interact, but that doesn't mean they are indistinguishable. For a joke diagram, it contains a lot of wisdom. I studied compsci at Cambridge University, and you would, categorically, not confuse it with engineering. There was zero interaction between the Computer Lab and the Engineering department.
Darwin Woodka@theohonohan @chemoelectric Haha my major was Computer Science ENGINEERING
Sören@chemoelectric @malwareminigun @codinghorror this is why STEM is bad and we need STEAM instead: so more people learn about humor
