Another option could be availability being affected by DDoS attacks without appropriate mitigations. Such a medical database would need to be accessed during medical emergencies, so availability is a big concern. Vulnerability to DDoS attacks could open the database owners to ransom attempts or...

It doesn't factor into the calculation, but it provides context to how the ranks compare to the rest of the state and what the marking standards may be like.

I would assume the question wants you to simulate it as a hint to build intuition on how the game works. I think once you "get" the game, as Sam has pointed out, there's not much value in simulating it. The simulation with that intuition would simply involve starting with $-10 and looping for...

Merge sort is commonly introduced in undergraduate algorithms classes as it's a good example of divide and conquer, and how sorting can have a worst case of O(n log n) rather than O(n^2). But quick sort is faster than merge sort in practice even though it's academically worse, since it has lower...

The main ways of comparing sorts would be run-time (worst case, best case + average, constant factors + real world performance), memory usage, stability, parallelisation and if they are online or offline. For SDD, I would probably focus on best case run time, the behaviour for pre-sorted arrays...

It's been a long time since i've seen the SDD syllabus, but in practice... Not necessarily, a big reason for using prototyping is to explore requirements which are sometimes notoriously hard to elicit from customers. Alternatively, you might explore different tech stacks, frameworks, solutions...

I don't know what the forum looked like pre-2005 or so, but between 2005-2019 the forum was mostly using the default vBulletin 3/4 theme which was a light theme with some blue (different shades in 3 to 4). You can find examples of this through the WayBack Machine. Back then, resources were not...

Done.

Probably the popular choice for people with interests like that is something quantitative in commerce, like Accounting+Finance major. For that, you'd probably want to do well at uni and secure a good grad job (e.g. Big 4), but eventually move into something with better pay and work/life balance...

I think it's hard to give accurate advice on this without knowing your interests and strengths. Comp Sci is a good pick if you are inclined to that type of work, but if you're not interested or good at it, it might be a rough course to get through and you might struggle to get good positions or...

Effectively replaced by likes a long time ago, before moving to the new software even. Anyway, this thread is pretty suss, but no obvious spam links lol.

I wouldn't recommend this, it's basically Comp Sci + IT which isn't quite as redundant as CS + SWE, but are different (but highly related) career paths. Information Systems is more for people that want to become business analysts, consultants etc. CS/SWE for people that want to be doing...

These days basically every uni society should have an active discord or FB group. It was already becoming like that before the pandemic, but the shift off campus during lockdowns forced every society to make sure they had an online presence and community. That should give you an opportunity to...

This one is a similar problem: https://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/2006/09/10

Best to just jump in and profile it, an IDE like PyCharm should help as they have profiler tools built in. There should be guides and youtube videos about how to do that. You might be able reason through why some parts of the code are slow, or find known performance anti-patterns for PyGame...

Just wait until your first week and see, usually the enrollment system won't let you pick activities out of order. Most classes lag tutorials by a week so they can scatter them on days around the lecture rather than all after the lecture. I've seen "workshops" refer to multiple things at UTS...

On this topic, a 3 year undergraduate course in Australia (e.g. Commerce or Computer Science without honours) is not considered equivalent to a 4 year bachelor degree in the US. So those programs without honours will not be sufficient for admission to an MBA or other masters programs at many...

Very different to Australia. US universities don't really have a direct equivalent of the UAC or even the ATAR/HSC, so the process is nowhere near as standardised. I would disregard any material about US college applications unless you are actually planning on applying for one. You would...

That still exists, it's called eduroam
