    Computers are powered by magic smoke.
    When the smoke escapes, the computer doesn’t work anymore.
    Also, the earth isn’t flat.

      It has been so, so long since I last saw the Time Cube. Thank you.

      Uh… no? Well, maybe for the guy in the picture because they’re clearly dumb, but “computer engineer” sounds more like chip design and circuit layout than even software engineering, let alone basic IT work…

      Basic IT work is wholly and completely different than any kind of computer-related engineering.

        As a computer engineer who works with FPGAs, thank you. I can’t tell you how many times someone comes to me with a CS question and I’m like, I dunno! Ask a CS person! I hardly know Python. [Admittedly, I really should learn.]

        Computer engineering is precisely the crossover between EE and CS. In many places it is a program within the EE department.

        You’re arguing that words don’t mean what many people use them to mean. Most service desk techs that I know have “computer engineer” in their LinkedIn.

        And that’s coming from me, a person with a B.E. in computer engineering. I hate that it is what it is, but it is.

        You mixed that up, computer engineers know that the earth is flat, it’s geologists who know about the tiny people making all our electronics work

      Sometimes, but it is a real engineering discipline. It’s a hybrid of electrical engineering and computer science

    I say that computers work because we tricked some rocks into thinking by carving special runes into them.

      It’s not that magic doesn’t exist, it’s just that our current spells and rituals are rudimentary.

      source
      • captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I’d say it’s that the information on how it works is out there and not secret. If I want to turn lead into gold that knowledge is available to me, I just need access to a nuclear reactor and to learn a fuck ton of stuff.

        Also the fact that it’s all very math dependent doesn’t help. The “when will I use this” subject is the biggest prerequisite to magic

    The smoke that comes out of computers sometimes is caused by the little people getting pissed off and lighting little fires out of protest.

    • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      In the U.S., education is mostly about being able to regurgitate what you’ve been told. Wisdom is, as you suggested, not necessary for that.

      source
      • MellowSnow@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Unfortunately so. There should be more emphasis on the why and how rather than the what.

      Intelligence and wisdom.

      Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

    I’m just a medical student, but as a computer engineer can’t he just hack into the mainframe and reveal that the earth is flat?
