Anything like assembly for java?
For the past term I've been taking a class "Computer Organization and Intro to Assembly" also known as 15-213 at CMU. It teaches about dissembling programs and being able to look at assembly interpretation of your program. I found the course although, very hard very informative and gives a lot of useful and applicable knowledge. As I primarily use Java, I am transitioning from it more and more everyday. But I was mainly curious if Java has something similar to c or c++ where you can look at the guts and insides of he program more. I know Java uses byte code but is it similar to assembly as being able to read it and understand it ? TL:DR is there something similar to C's disassembling and examining the assembly code in java

Statistics or Discrete Minor?
Most of you probably know i'm a college student pursuing a B.S in Computer Science. I have to choose my classes for next year tonight and looking for a good minor to complement my major and I'm pretty sure I want it to be math. But, because of the intensity of my curriculum and the required 4 business classes to major in applied mathematics a double major is not an option. I play on doing, Artificial Intelligence or Cyber Security. So what do yo think is better Statistics or Discrete Math? Course I've take: (Non gen eds) *Will take with projected Discrete Minor Freshman Year: Calc I-III Discrete Math I Linear Algebra I Function Programming Design Object Oriented Programming Systems Programming Intro to Machine Organization and Assembly Language Sophmore: Probability Applied Statistics Graph Theory* Operating Systems Algorithms Database Systems I Software Engineering Mechanics Physics Electromagnetic Physics Intro to Electrical and Computer Engineering Intro to Biology Jr - Senior * Combinatorics * Discrete Optimization * Discrete II plus other engineering. computer science, and required classes

Why do we need diversity?
Well i'm in a university now, but the question just popped in my head looking around some VICE news articles. the question was meant to be open ended....

Why do we need diversity?
Another random question for everyone out there. I just want to know what you guys think because the question just popped in my head. As the title states why do you believe we do or do not need diversity. Types: - Racially Diverse - Gender Diverse Areas: -Academia -Work Force my opinion: In academia I think it's good to be diverse racially and by gender because, at this point in a college students life they must adapt to a new environment that is probably much different than their own at home. I think i prepares them for the possibility of what type of environment and people they will be dealing with in the future. I also think it brings in many opposing views and opinions which is important for everyone at least be exposed to, which allows a student to be well educated. workforce: In the workforce I think it is good (not essential) to be racially diverse because again you bring people from different backgrounds and experiences, who have different ways of solving problems and dealing with them. In a workforce I don't think it is important to be gender diverse. I mean yeah it's good to have a women's or male's approach on something. But, gender is binary and I don't think having half male and half female is diverse at all. Nevertheless you could have 5 women and 5 men from the same area and all of them be similar. Which is why I believe it's important to be racially diverse because you can get many people whether male or female from different areas and backgrounds and different experiences. Chat away..

Why get a degree in CS?
I don't know this probably will sound really snobbish. But what I intend to do in my lifetime through my career is to evolve and progress society. I want to be that person who helps send people to space, program robots to do necessary petty jobs or do something that some how improves and builds onto today's technology. Unless I'm getting billions and finding a new social media app, I don't want to work in consumerism where I program apps and back end websites to satisfy someone's inessential needs.

Why get a degree in CS?
Okay, so right now I am pursuing a B.S in Computer Science and a minor in Discrete Mathematics. I plan on focusing my courses around cyber security and algorithms/A.I. But I'm becoming more and more hesitant of my choice of major. My overall problem I am having is 1. Whats the probability I'll be attaining a job that is below my skill level, such as web development or app development. 2. What's my job security. Everyone online says C.S degrees are useless because anyone can learn how to program and get a job. Then I go on google and find tons of responses showing successful people who didn't have a C.S degree getting a programming job. I don't want to waste my money on school if my degree is useless. So for you people out in the tech world, all comments are encouraged and welcome.. Also, what do you think is a better minor for a CS major -Discrete Mathematics -Robotics Engineering

Good Definition of Socialism/Democratic Socialism
I'm really trying to understand it. But when I search for anything explaining what it is. It's just a bunch of people spitting out broad and unspecific phrases like, to empower the middle class!, help the many not the few!. I mean anyone could say that practically for any political ideology. So does anyone actually know what the hell it is. For me it just sounds like a irrelevant world that people label themselves to push a far left liberal more communist like agenda.

Meet a Black Person [Q&A]
There probably isn't one because there is no need for one.. The answer to this is a simple google. BET was created when blacks werent allowed to be on other channels with whites so they created a network for blacks. Which was like 50 years ago which is not a long time ago. I mean it isn't any different than another white dominated network with their token black actors.

Good Discrete Mathematics Books?
Im looking for a decent book for my Intro Discrete Math course. I want to be a Computer Scientist so I want to learn the content now just get through. There have been two lectures for my class and I'm already lost. So if you've read a good one please leave a reply...

Meet a Black Person [Q&A]
No I don't see myself less than a white person. What I do see thought is that many or most blacks (African Americans not to be confused with immigrants) get the short end of the stick. From my experiences and people I know, white families are more connected, have better connections, get better education and exposed to more high level thinking at a lower level. E.g Many whites know people who know.... So they are able to get good internships and jobs. Many white families have parents with well off jobs and are very educated thus their parents teach them or expose them to higher learning at younger age; such as my friend who's dad is a computer scientist who taught him to program at 12 and works at EMC at the age of 15. You probably get the gist Um no lol. My cousin played and introduced me to the game. I think @Chicken Wing is black. But that's about it

Meet a Black Person [Q&A]
pros: you get strict parents there are some programs that can help minorities out you don't get jumped in the hood, as long as you don't dress differently cons: strict parents people have stereotypical expectations of you Yeah... If you've read many of the previous posts, you'll probably see that stereotypes is a prominent problem. Many people have this expectation that all blacks are ghetto people who grew up without their dad in the hood, we all speak ghetto, we are dumb. So I mean when people meet me they make it a point to tell me how astounded they are to find, that i speak very white, or act white. Um yea in a sense that their is * im going to sound very social justice rn* of systemically oppression that whites and blacks feed into equally. But it is more of a combination of my race and the person I am. Whites are surprised and treat me different because they expect me as I said earlier to be a stereotypical black. While blacks see me an outcast who betrayed the culture and treat anyone who is different, differently.
