Most of the people on CompSci in college now are not computer people. They are just there to jump on the "oh look at the tech industry I can get rich quick too" band wagon only to find out it takes skill and experience to keep rich in tech not a title.

I work with so called "college graduates". Have to show them how bash works and why we don't use 'slack'.

I have had to explain how pgp works to people with compsci related degrees. I bet some of them didn't know bash either now that I think about it. I hate explaining pgp to people who are smart/dumb enough to say things like "isn't that what https does" because the simple explanation goes out the window.

I assume you live off campus?

>Isn't that what https does
If you're trying to explain public key cryptography and they ask about https, follow them there. If they know HTTPS, you should have no problem teaching them gpg.

>The security of HTTPS is that of the underlying TLS, which typically uses long-term public and private keys to generate a short-term session key, which is then used to encrypt the data flow between client and server. X.509 certificates are used to authenticate the server (and sometimes the client as well). As a consequence, certificate authorities and public key certificates are necessary to verify the relation between the certificate and its owner, as well as to generate, sign, and administer the validity of certificates.

this nutech meme (SJW, JS, etc) is just one tiny problem. software engineeering has been a complete joke for the last 30 years. if you're ever optimistic you're doing it wrong

actually that reminds me in the opening day of some class 10 years ago in college, the prof went something like:
>blah blah blah and this piece of shit [shows Internet Explorer on the screen]
and a few kids were like "ye >:)"
but who cares? making a program support browsers other than internet explorer is one tiny issue. we have much worse issues, like that there isn't a single sane file browser, image viewer, or anything period for the desktop of any UNIX (the windows ones are all terrible as well except for Explorer.exe which is still not good but better than everything else)

>running javascript on webpages is not normal
He's wrong, though. There's a lot of things that running javascript on webpages is not, like:
<a good idea
<safe
<necessary most of the time
but it's definitely normal.

Nanonymous No.3231 [D] >>3241

Normal as in 'healthy and correct', not as in 'the current norm'.
Yes that is not the true dictionary definition, but its how the word is sometimes used. Unfortunately, JS misuse is normal but it shouldn't be.

off the top of my head:
slow
panning has input lag
no vsync. panning has constant judder/choppiness (which means you cant see fine detail in the image while it's moving, but you wouldnt see that anyway if you're using an LCD monitor)
panning by keys is retarded. it moves a few pixels, then pauses for a second, then finally starts moving (at a bad rate that causes judder, which again means you can't see fine detail during this pan)
the mouse panning concept, while unique, doesnt make sense to me. I can't remember the exact problems i had with it, but the most annoying thing i can think of right now is that if you move the mouse and then hold middle click to start panning, the panning position jumps to the other side of the image, and you have to recenter the cursor on wherever you actually want to go. feh or nigchink dont have this problem for example (and neither does any image viewer with a conventional mouse panning system)

Technically https does use public key cryptography to establish a shared key. So they're not wrong, >>3192 is right, it would be good to then explain the differences between pgp and https.
