>Any cool topics in computer science I should know more about?
depends, what do you already know?
and are you more interested in theory or stuff that is useful for a job?

>>1344
useful for a job

>>1345
>useful for a job
>cool topics
pick one
just learn full stack web development if you haven't already
also learn infosec too
that's where all the money is these days

I don't care about making money. Any shell scripting nerds out there want to tell me about mathematics in scripts? Particularly bash.

>>1348
math in scripts? like what, basic arithmetic stuff, or what?
python is better for more advanced math tbh

Last thing I was working on was Dennis MUD, and before that Driftwood. I haven't had that programmer energy for three months now though, so I haven't been really working on any software projects. Usually I get interested in programming for about a month and that comes in 2 month or 6 month cycles, or somewhere in-between.

Mostly I've just been maintaining the server, and I also set up a server and website for a roommate a while ago who got kicked off of Tumblr for lewd artwork.

If you want to learn a programming language I always recommend Python, but lately JS has become a good general-purpose option too thanks to NODE. My first language was actually FreeBASIC, followed by C. FreeBASIC has a lot of cool old hobbyist games.

It's also good to know HTML and CSS so you can make your own websites. I probably end up using HTML more than anything else. You could also learn Linux so that you can host your websites and whatever services you want on a server you run yourself.

Basic arithmetic that a beginner to programming would find useful.

>>1345
learn blender tbh
3D stuff has many, many uses and is way more fun than you'd think.

>What are sushis working on right now
Simultaneously completing my Psychology degree and reestablishing the Allgemeine Ärztliche Gesellschaft für Psychotherapie (AÄGP) against the Terran materialist mindvirus that has taken hold of the world in the last 100 years

I'm writing some linear motion models for a physics simulation.

working on a imageboard, i know jack heck about proggraming so im using lainchan's base, is sushigirl's base easy to install? i first tried NPFchan's but after installing and entering mod.php once it never let me in again so im just trying lainchan, also im somewhat limited in specs as im running a pentium 4 with 256 MB of ram, should i upgrade?

Sushichan and Uboachan run on Vichan, which is easy to install and use but also a dead project. A lot of newer imageboards run on Lynxchan, which is still under active development, but in my experience way more difficult to set up and use. If you don't care about having cutting-edge technology behind your imageboard, I'd still recommend Vichan. It looks like Lainchan is actually running a modified version of Vichan, so their fork is probably still being developed and might be better than base Vichan. tl;dr if you're using Lainchan's base you're basically using Sushichan's base already, but probably better.

Thanks for the response, installation for lainchan was easy, but other problems arose, especifically webms not working despite any configuration i do and the package mess that is libjpeg62 over libjpeg9
