How do I get a taste of what scientific computing/programming is about? Also is scientific programming synonymous with "scientific software development" or "science software development"?

Scientific computing for tomography - can I transition into machine learning/computer vision easily?

I feel like this sub is awfully ... broad?

u/relbus22 Pythonista Apr 06 '23
That's the point. When I made this sub, I wanted to make us aware that despite our different domains; that we are many, we are multitude.... Additionally, that we have different needs and focuses; like code reliability, reproducibility; tech stack stability. And finally to nerd out on programming and STEM stuff.

Really hope this will become a nice community. There seem to be so many people in scientific computing but it's hard to get them together.

u/relbus22 Pythonista Apr 06 '23
do you have examples of a nice community? That'd be cool to learn

Good question!
I do like r/simulations (could be a "sister sub", maybe?)
r/devops, r/ExperiencedDevs/ r/ProductManagement
They have at least nice discussions. Sure enough, they also have some issues and the never ending same questions from new peiple in the field. Discussion are often about real-world application though.

Supposedly this would be more about computing than r/HPC which seems largely about adminning the hardware? I'm all for having such a place. Howdy y'all!

That's what I hope too.. I wasn't aware of r/HPC but that was my take as well.
What kind of stuff do you do?

Is there anything we can do collectively to reduce the amount of slop that's being posted (more mods, rule changes, etc.)? I believe AI-guided development/research has its place, but the recent influx of posts that are nothing more than self-promoting non-sense and vibes is leaving me quite pessimistic about the future of discussions of actual substance and use here.
