“How are 3D graphics, such as those inanimated movies or video games, created?”
“How are 3D graphics, such as those inanimated movies or video games, created?”
Rasterization Most real-time 3Dgraphics systems (videogames, simulators,surgical robots, etc.) usea technique calledrasterization.Idea: Decompose theobject into triangles,then work out the mathto map each triangleonto the screen.
Ray Tracing Ray tracing is atechnique thatproduces photorealistic images.Idea: Trace thepath that photonswould take whenbouncing around ascene.
Ray Tracing versus Rasterizing Ray tracing produces photorealisticimages, but takes an enormous amount ofprocessing time. Rasterizing produces lower-quality images,but can generate them very quickly. Can take hours to render a few seconds.Can do 60FPS or more on a graphics card.Want to learn more? Take CS148!
“Intro to hacking”
Heartbleed The heartbleedbug was a serioussecurity flaw thatlet hackers stealencryption keysfrom web servers.What was it? Andhow did it work?
Array Bounds Errors In Java, if you read off the end of anarray, String, or ArrayList, you get anIndexOutOfBoundsException.This is because Java is specificallyprogrammed to check all array accesses.However, this is not the case in lowerlevel languages like C or C .

Why Security is Hard There's a tradeoff between speed and security.Many security-critical applications are alsotime-sensitive.At a low level, hardware does not containmany security features.The sorts of errors that you likely made inAssignment 5 and Assignment 6 can, in otherlanguages, lead to security issues.Want to learn more?

“How can we use CS to do social good(ex: NGO type application?)”
Some Opportunities cs-for-social-good@lists.stanford.edu Excellent mailing list with frequent announcementsabout opportunities at the intersection of computerscience, public policy, and social activism.A few wonderful student groups: SENSA (social entrepreneurship) ESW (engineering as public service) The Haas Center HOPES (Huntington's disease outreach) SOLE, SBSE, AISES, SWE, SASE, WiCS (diversityoutreach, education, etc.)

Learning New Languages Good news! Picking up your secondprogramming language will be wayeasier than picking up your first.You'll learn languages best if you're surrounded by people who know it, you have a good tutorial, and you know how to get your questionsanswered.
Learning New Languages There are a lot of really good (and reallybad) programming tutorials online.A few suggestions: CodeCademy is a good way to learn the basicsof many standard programming languages.Learn X the Hard Way is a well-respectedbook/set of exercises for learning manyprogramming languages. (“The hard way”means “by doing it a lot and getting practice.”)
Getting Help Stack Overflow is a great place to getprogramming help online. General Q&A forum with lots of active users. If you have a question: Try your best to answer it on your own first.If you're stuck, try Googling or search StackOverflow.If you can't find anything, ask a question on StackOverflow. (Be sure to read the FAQ first!)
“Legal issues in CS and tech- right to beforgotten, network neutrality, etc”
Take CS181!
“How can we share the programs we'vemade? (send them to friends / parents /whoever to play)”
“A lot of what we've done is trivial,seeming more like a puzzle: in disciplineslike Philosophy or Physics, paradigmatic,meaningful knowledge is imparted moreabundantly, whereas we seem to be onlygaining programming dexterity. Whyshould we do CS?”
Science is what we understand wellenough to explain to a computer. Artis everything else we do.-Don Knuth, “A B”
