Parents who, despite clearly seeing a code on my monitor think that I'm playing games, and need to nag me to study cause they "rarely see me with the textbook".
I'm in an IT university and explaining that everything's in PDF or just online doesn't help

    I once asked for a GPU upgrade for deep learning neural network based project, they said which AAA titles do you wanna play

    I once had trouble with a functional programming language in university, the language was Mozart Oz.

    My dad, bless him, volunteered to help me with the assignment... It was a graphical n-queens problem solver... My room began to look like that clichéd detective room with diagrams all over the walls with string linking them. He never volunteered to help me again and I never asked him to, we occasionally remark "Remember that Mozart Oz stuff?" And shudder...

    If your parents are giving you trouble, ask them to help you do the same.

    You're welcome.

    @nmunro they're the kind of people who know how to turn on a PC only because the power button looks the same as it does on a TV remote, and use it for very basic Word typing, not even internet. No understanding of English whatsoever, and don't wanna learn.
    Also, not supportive at all about of me coding because "I don't look like I could do anything with it, so it's just distracting me from finishing university".

    My parents are the same, not particularly technology minded, my dad just saw I was struggling and volunteered to help, he perhaps thought it couldn't be much harder than the mental arithmetic he learned in school.

    The point was to trick them into helping, doing a massive brain dump of all the computer science concepts you already know in one big go, then dive right into a complex problem with the desired effect of showing that A) What you're doing is actual work and B) It's actually quite hard.
