Hi, as computer science student, do you think its possible to enter this domain without physics? I'd like to study it but i don't have physics atm in high school.

Usually computer science doesn't feature any physics courses - at least I've heard that our curriculum was special by including a physics lecture.

So, exactly how much has the CTB diff algorithms changed? Will songs with small quick adjustments get evaluated properly now? (like neu)

Better than before at least. Tuning is still hard and breaks things too easily, but it's going in the right direction.

du hast in den letzten 12 monaten gehackt, was du ja selbst bestätigst. wieso darfst du dann im OWC mitspielen?

Was? Nö, hab ich nicht, das war vor 2-3 Jahren.

To add on to what you said about, I'd say to find something you enjoy and try making or recreating it. Always push your limits of what you can do or else you won't improve, and don't be afraid of making mistakes. The last one is the most important; making mistakes is a vital part of learning.

Can't agree more. You'll rewrite your code hundreds of times because you'll start feeling like the code you wrote literally last week sucks big time. But you'll improve. :P

" Make the best performances list capable of dealing with multiple scores on the same beatmap by the same player." What exactly does this update mean? If you have a 99% HR FC and then get an HD SS afterwards, will you still keep your pp?

Some time in the future, yes. For now it's not yet the case but the list itself won't break when we make the change - which is what this changelog entry says. :)

Hey there. I was wondering if I can get some advice from an experienced programmer like yourself. I am currently studying as a computer science major hoping to get into video game programming. Any suggestions of what I should do? What did you do to get so deep into programming?

Well... program a lot as a hobby I guess? :P
Find whatever you like making and try making it.

Do you like math and physics? Or is it just a necessity due to your interest incomputer science?

I like Physics, but while I don't dislike Math I view it more as a tool for what I'm doing rather than something which is interesting on its own. I'm not particularily thrilled about purely mathematical things, but there still are some cool things which I find cool (I do have Vi Hart and Numberphile subscribed on YouTube :p).

should I take multi variable calculus if im wanting to be a programmer? have you used any high level math in anything?

I did have multi variable calculus but never needed it for programming myself, _yet_. There are various applications for advanced mathematics (both linear algebra and analysis), though. Physical simulation is a prime example where (multi variable or not) calculus comes in handy.

do you know about or use Fitts's law in your pp calculations? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts's_law

pp does use the ratio of circle size to distance (by normalizing circle positions so that CS is uniform) but the logarithm isn't applied. Tbh I think using a logarithm would be counterproductive since that would imply smaller circles starting to get worth less rather than more which is what people want. :P

I remember hearing someone say you single-handedly destroyed flyff. Is this true?

I guess so, but you could also say I singlehandedly saved it since for some years 100% of the private servers were using my hack protection software (which DID prevent my own hacks from being used for free!). ^_^;

How does https://osu.ppy.sh/u/[-Nightmare-] have 96.99% accuracy when nearly all of his top scores have much better accuracy? Has it not updated because he hasn't played since ppv2 was introduced?

That is most likely the reason, yes. I don't have the implementation 100%ly in my head so I can't say for sure.

If somebody wanted to help with osu's development in the future, what language would you recommend them to learn? By help I mean for things like what you did with osu!tp and implementing that kind of stuff into the actual official site.

osu! is written in C#, I wrote the pp processor in C++ (for performance reasons) and the website uses php. So if you want to help with pp-related things you need to know all 3 languages.
