Timmytheturtle: interwiki link fix CompSci.Ca->CompSci.ca

== Welcome to the CompSci.ca Wiki ==
This Wiki is for anything relating to Computer Science, [[the]] site [http://compsci.ca/ CompSci.ca], any technology-related stuff, or anything you want that is within reason. It is free to edit for everyone as long as they respect others and the site. We welcome any new pages you can think of, or anything you can add to our existing ones (incuding this one!). This wiki is for the users of [http://compsci.ca/ CompSci.ca]; it is up to you to add or update the content of this wiki!

== CompSci.ca Current News ==
The first [[CompSci Comic]] (Season 2), comic was completed today. As the current Comic Site is being fixed by [[dan]], there is no means to publish it. The comic will be published as soon as possible.

The Compsci Season 2 Comic has been released under the Compsci.Ca website. More work to be done on future comic designs and sections.

IRC channel

2009-10-19T12:22:48Z

Timmytheturtle: Updated #exile-cafe, statastics, status, fixed links, spelling fixes

[[The]] #compsci.ca channel on [[IRC]] is where all the cool members are hanging out. Chances are, if you're not there, you're missing something exciting and important.

To join the CompSci.ca IRC community, you need an [[IRC Client]]. We recommend [[X-Chat]]. Join any of the servers and channels described below. [[Hacker Dan|Dan]] has integrated a Java-based [[IRC]] client in [[V3]], that will send users to the channel directly from the forums.

==Networks==

===CompSci.ca community on AfterNET===

'''Server:''' [irc://irc.afternet.org irc.afternet.org] or [irc://irc.compsci.ca irc.compsci.ca]

'''Main Channel:''' #compsci.ca

==History==
===Of The Main Channel===

Much of #compsci.ca's early history is shrouded in mystery. Nobody is quite sure the exact time when it was created, but rumour has it that [[Coutsos]] was its founder, although he did not begin to regularly attend it until quite some time later. Its first regular inhabitants were [[wtd]] and a mysterious lurker named [[Ultrahex]], who though a member of [[CompSci.Ca]] does not seem to ever post on the forums. Things took off sometime in early 2005, when a wave of members, including [[Hikaru79]], [[Coutsos]], [[Cervantes]], and [[Gandalf]] started regularly attending the channel. At present, #compsci.ca has a regular population of about ten, give or take, although it is subject to occasional flurries of activity, often when the moon is full.

As of April 15th, 2006, #compsci.ca is for [[CompSci.ca]] and programming related discussion. Excessive off topic discussion is to be held elsewhere.

''Please note: The above rule of 'off topic discussion' rarely holds, and don't think you've gotta be a stickler. That doesn't mean you can be a jackass, though. And there often is a lot of programming talk, or otherwise geeky conversations, usually [[wtd]] dispensing out some parcel of [[wtd's infinite wisdom]].

===Of The Self-taught Programming Channel===
This channel was thought of on the [http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=10613 forums] by [[wtd]] on December 14, 2005. The main interest of this new channel is [[Ruby]] and [[O'Caml]]. This channel is not for the people who are taught programming in high school but for the people who self-teach it. When [[wtd]] announced it, there was a great cheer for [[wtd]] since he created the channel for the rest of the users to use and ask questions about. Now that the #cs-self-taught channel has been merged into the #exile-cafe channel, all relevant discussion may proceed there.

The channel no longer exists, after users stopped using it.

===Of The Compsci.ca Chat Channel===
Founded in April 15th, 2006 during the [[Great IRC Crackdown]] of 2006, it was designed to reduce much of the spam going on in the #compsci.ca main room.

This new channel is a place for more relaxed chat, the old is for more [[CompSci.ca]] related discussion and computer science in general. Programming, operating systems, etc., it's all welcome in #compsci.ca. If you are going to spam, please join #compsci.ca-chat. If you spam too much, you will be devoiced and/or kicked.

As of July 2006 this channel's existence has dwindled, and it is no longer used. General discussion may take place in #compsci.ca in a moderated fashion. Spamming and the like are still not tolerated on the main channel.

==Daily Life==

Much of #compsci.ca's time is spent in utter silence (while its members spend time in deep personal reflection and thought), broken periodically by outbursts of conversation, instruction, and weirdness. Hilarity often ensues. Confusion can become rampant when [[the]] mature members take to stealing each other's nicknames (see [[Coutsos Identity Crisis]]). On a good day, [[wtd]] can be observed teaching some interesting, mind-blowing new programming concept.

Occasionally if you are really lucky you'll witness something as bizarre as [[IRC_2006_01_17 | this wonderful event]], or the short but horrifying [[vibrator incident]].

===Statistics===
Statistics based on a combination of logs from many different users is available at [http://theferret.ath.cx/Logs/compsci.ca.html http://theferret.ath.cx/Logs/compsci.ca.html] They are no longer updated.

==The Future==

The future for #compsci.ca is looking bright, as it receives more and more attention in the compsci.ca community, particularly through the siggies and evangelism of [[Cervantes]], [[Coutsos]], and [[Hikaru79]]. With any luck, it will soon be as integral a part of the compsci.ca experience as the forum has come to be.

Anime

2009-10-19T12:01:38Z

Timmytheturtle: Added a few links to anime related sites.

Anime is Japanese animation or Japanese "cartoons". Most of the storylines tend to be influenced by [[manga]], or Japanese "graphic novels" and are generally fictional. There are many types of anime out there, involving different names for different audiences or genres. These names tend to also refer to manga types, as well. For example, Shōnen is anime targeted for boys, Mecha is anime that involves "giant robots" called mechs, Seinen is for men, and Kodomo is for little children.

CompSci Server

2009-10-18T18:03:46Z

Timmytheturtle:

In July 2007, CompSci.Ca started a switch from their old host [http://www.dreamhost.com Dreamhost], to a dedicated server, hosted at [http://corenetworks.net Corenetworks], it is to be responsible for all of the hosting needs of CompSci.Ca.

In February 2009, CompSci.Ca rented another server, to help with load balancing (among other things), this one is hosted at [http://server4you.net Server4You].

Shortly after the second server was added, [[Hacker_Dan|Dan]] decided to name them, and on March 1st, 2009 [http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=20380 poll was held] to let the community decide what the names should be, the names chosen where [[Eclair]] and [[Lumiere]]. The name [[Eclair]] was given to the first server, (hosted at Corenetworks) and [[Lumiere]] to the newest one (hosted at Server4You). Since both of these servers are hosted in data centres in the US, they fall partly under the [[DMCA]].

Together they are responsible for the hosting all of CompSci.Ca's websites, and services.

Noob

2009-10-14T12:28:22Z

Timmytheturtle:

==Definition==
In literal terms, "noob" is simply a title describing somebody who is new to something. (related terms: newbie, newb)
In practice, however, it is meant to be a form of disrespect. Not only is [[the]] person's new-ness being pointed out, but also it is made clear that this is causing a problem, regardless of whether it is intentional or can be helped.

==The Newbcake Rank==
The newbcake is a very rare honour given to only those who show above average noobishness. Most Newbcakes are arrogant and just do not seem to want to leave CompSci.ca even after receiving such a rank. It is believed that there is a secret society of the noob and that some day they will try to rule the earth but fail miserably after forgetting to null terminate their strings. The Newbcake rank is one of CompSci.ca's special [[Ranks]] and can only be gain through the magical powers that be.

Turing

2009-10-14T12:27:17Z

Timmytheturtle: added links to location of turing

Turing is an interpreted pseudo-[[Programming Language]] developed by [[Holt Software Associates]] in 1982. It is intentionally similar to [[Pascal]] in syntax.

==History==

The primary developers of the Turing language were [[Ric Holt]] and [[James Cordy]], although it was later maintained by a larger group of people. Ric and James wrote it as an extension of the [[Euclid Programming Language]], an earlier project they had worked on at the University of Toronto. The original Turing variant was written largely to replace [[Pascal]] in Canadian high schools and universities, a goal that it has achieved quite admirably. Although originally written as a DOS-only compiler, the language has evolved over time, spreading to other platforms, and including an [[Object-oriented]] model. In 2001, Turing became "Object-Oriented Turing," and this is the version that largely dominates Canadian high-school classrooms today.

==Features==

Turing is first and foremost a learning language, so it is lacking some of the features present in most 'modern' languages. Although Turing [[interpreters]] exist, there is no real Turing [[compiler]]. The one built into the standard Turing editor actually takes the Turing code and converts it to a machine-dependent "[[pseudo-code]]", and then compiles that together with a stand-alone execution environment. This means that whenever a program is compiled, because of the inclusion of the execution environment, even a simple "Hello, World" program will take up approximately 700kb of disk space.

However, for first-time programmers, it is a useful language. It contains all the essential programming features -- Input/Output, Control Flow, Iteration, graphics, etc. It strives to make common tasks (such as recieving keyboard input) as simple as possible, so that the student can focus on the logic of the program rather than details about the implementation. Most interestingly, it also offers direct access to the PC Parallel port, making it an ideal choice for high-school level Computer Engineering courses.

==Version History==

The latest version of Turing, according to Holt Software Associates, is 4.0.4c. However, there is a 4.0.4d (4.0.5), 4.1 and 4.1.1 versions available.

Before HoltSoft went out of business, they made Turing available for free download. They have since stopped distributing them, but can still be [http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/ found on CompSci.Ca.]

==What is Arch?==
Arch Linux, first released in 2002, their goal was a simple and lightweight distribution, which is optimized for i686 and x86-64 systems.

They follow five priniciples which they refer to as "the Arch Way", or "the Arch Philosophy", or in other terms KISS (Keep is Simple, Stupid).

Their goals are:
#Simple
#Code-correctness over convenience

#User-centric
#Free

A full description of their goals can be found on their site, [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way here]
