CST:338 Wk 1

 Did some codingBat practice with was a fun refresher to java.  Looking up examples of Map help refresh my memory.  I haven't done too much of the lambda functions in the past but I do like the style of them.  Reminds me of the loops you can do in Python, so it's something I'll use more in the future.

 I 100% prefer MongoDB, it's very intuitive compared to SQL statements, since it's more modern.   Some similarities are the CRUD operations, which makes going from SQL to MongoDB easy to handle. I do like how flexible the data is stored in MongoDB rather than SQL.

wk2: Trust the Process

 In the year 2012, Kobe Bryant was having a season filled with injuries and ups and downs, but confidently he said to "Trust the process" in order to achieve his goal of another NBA championship.  While he wasn't able to get this sixth championship, his saying still lives on.  Though I'm sure Kobe wasn't aware that trusting the process lies within our computers that allows them to perform whatever we tell them.   I've learned the interesting bits about how the OS manages processes through the fork() and exec() commands, which appear simple but allow the OS to perform multiple processes.  I later learned about how the OS manages permissions between the user and kernel, so the user can temporarily access higher permissions through the use of traps. Also fun to think about the potential of traps if one were to gain access, they can run malicious code.

CST334 - OS - WK1

 The first week of CST334 has been interesting, since I've always wondered how computers bridge the gap between hardware and software, and it seems like the OS is the glue that holds it all together.  I remember back in the lower division course of Computer Architecture, the professor spoke about how data is placed in memory and seeing where in the memory this information is being stored.  He was careful to point out that the memory address that was seen is not exactly the hardware memory address because of virtualization.  Then in the first week of this course we were exposed to virtualization to see how the OS manages the flow of information.  I find that all the computer things I've learned in the past through online tutorials like setting up linux machines, etc, are coming together, to understand why that command I copy and pasted to change file permissions are actually doing!
