Here's the great thing about not having studied compsci: you can be blissfully ignorant of the insane theories they made up and just bodge shit together. Nobody will know the difference

@MightyPork TL;DR without weird symbols:empty string and all letters are regular expressions.A regular expression followed by a regular expression is a regular expression.A regular expression or a regular expression is a regular expression.A regular expression repeated 0 or more times is a regular expression.Nothing else is a regular expression.

@MightyPork knowledge of big-O—what it is, how to derive it, why it's important—is good to have. otherwise, yeah, pretty much.

@impiaaa yeah in EE we had about enough of it to get by without the more crazy stuff

@MightyPork @impiaaa I'm having trouble thinking of a compsci thing that isn't a bodged-up thing borrowed from some other field, hehlike, asymptotic analysis came from, well, analysis, and the function you find is just as important as counting the right thing, but we kinda bodge that and say "uh pick some operation"

@MightyPork @impiaaa hmm I guess automata theory is a really uniquely Comp Sci thing so maybe I can think of something

@ninjawedding @impiaaa yeah big o is kinda "uhh squint a little and add a log or two to look more sciency" ime anyway

@MightyPork @impiaaa heh, if I could just insert a log or two my algorithms would look fast as well

@MightyPork would be pretty great if computer science was either more more… falsifyable, or more applicablebut as it stands it's very meh.____this message sent from someone who hasn't studied it
