No it isn't. There's no such thing as "code monkeying" - that's just something /g/ NEETs tell themselves to justify wasting their time writing fizzbuzz in haskell rather than bettering themselves.

IT is concerned with information technology - not programming. Maintaining networks, systems and operations, particularly in a corporate/enterprise context. Most IT staff will never write more than a few batch scripts in their whole career.

Yes, in the 18th fucking century. No university in europe does gen ed any more.

The classic example is some asian kid who got her Ph.D. at like 15 or something. She retired from research at 21 or so and cited "lack of childhood" as the reason. It's one of the reasons you never hear of child geniuses accomplishing much. Slamming a kid through school usually fucks them up emotionally without any benefit. She'd still be really smart if she had gone through classes normally, she'd just be really smart and also HAVE FRIENDS

If "everyone" has a degree, that would make it more important for you to get one. Short of sheer natural and *proven* brilliance, what does not having a degree say about a person who lives in an environment where "everyone" has a degree?

Besides, degrees exist on a spectrum of quality. There's web development 101 courses masquerading as "CS" degrees and then there's properly comprehensive transistors-to-software top-to-bottom courses than give you a grounding in all areas and a specialisation in one or two.

How is it more objective than a competition? I'm talking about STEM here, where your performance can be objectively measured, not some bullshit "research only" discipline.

>>35266958
This tbh. The same also goes for holding kids back in school, sending them ahead a grade or even homeschooling. The most important part of a child's academic development is their development of proper social skills. Everything else can be corrected. Throw a child into an environment where they're not with their peers and they will be rejected and they will suffer significant distress and permanent damage.

The most famous examples are probably Kim Ung-Yong and William Sidis.

Kim was a physics university student in Korea at age 8 and was invited to America by NASA at age 10. He worked with NASA and got his Ph.D. by 15. He suffered from burn out, talking about how his lack of childhood and being pushed too hard academically put him on the verge of suicide. He returned to Korea. Unfortunately, the Korean media labeled him a "failed genius" and his American degree weren't seen as legit, so he had to complete another degree(this time in civil engineering) all over again.

Sidis was born into an academic family. His father, Boris, was a psychology professor, and essentially used his son as an experiment to see how much a person could truly learn. Sidis could reportedly speak 8 languages by age 8. He was an avowed atheist upon first reading the Bible at age 6. He enrolled at Harvard at 12 and graduated with honors with a degree in math. He enrolled at Rice University for graduate studies, but hated the fact that at age 17, most students he taught were older/bigger than him and made fun of him. He later enrolled and dropped out of Harvard Law School. He later got arrested for being involved in a violent socialist rally. At one point, he talked about how humanity wasn't worthy of the intellectual contributions he could make. He pretty much died a NEET neckbeard @ 46.

Not very impressive.

I'm actually disappointed.

For example my brother just turned 17 and he has written much more complicated stuff than that.

Fucking hell, reddit ruined atheism and tumblr ruined feminism. People really think these ideas are invalid just because they associate them with insufferable prattling teen bloggers. It's pathetic.

In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area. An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test.
My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it. I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan).
I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is.

>>35268518
A bunch of things, in 5th grade which was my last year, I asked why miracles don't go against the tenet of free will, that one the teacher just sort of flushed and got needlessly aggressive with me and started accusing me of being an atheist

One time when I was really little I asked a question about dinosaurs in Bible class and the teachers didn't have an answer so they spaghettied all over the place and obviously, even to us kids, started making stuff up. It was something along the lines of "Satan placed dinosaur bones in the ground to shake our faith in God." I wasn't trying to be counterproductive, I was just curious, and at the time genuinely interested in Biblical teachings. In those sorts of environments, asking any question is akin to being a disruption and attempting to refute biblical teachings.

I don't have anything against Biblical teachings, but there's a lot of questions that followers are programmed to avoid from birth.

People like you are a dime a dozen. You scored in the 99.9th percentile? So did 7 million other people world-wide. You've invented things other people have invented? A lot of technological progress has happened since then, and our ways of thinking about science and the world have changed too.

Know body really cares about ACM, it's a US community college level (ok maybe CSU level) competition.

>>35268915
No, it's not that, it's the opportunity cost you have in America.

Prepping for something like the ICPC takes a TON of time. In bumfuck nowhere, that might be your best bet to get some recognition. At places like Stanford, MIT, you have a lot of other options.

>>35268880
FGPAs are, in a couple of words, programmable hardware. You use hardware description languages such as VHDL or Verilog to design circuitry and they form what you request of them.
Lisp machines were machines optimized for lisp operations. Some had machine-level instructions for common lisp operations, and they included registers specifically designed to hold list components (so-called car and cdr registers, for example). Possible hardware-level features may include hardware-side garbage collection. A good lisp machine should be able to run lisp code orders of magnitude faster than c code runs on current hardware now.

I was confused about this too, most of us just aren't given that opportunity (ie, unequal opportunity at play here). Turns out it was community college, considering you called it "uni" you might be Australian, so consider it the same as TAFE. You don't need high school to apply for TAFE/community college, but generally they don't accept people under 16. She probably got in because lol, why not?

I have friends that skipped VCE/HSC, went to a technical college and went straight into a bachelor degree, skipping the gruelling, frustrating VCE/HSC bullshit. If our government didn't force students to attend high school until 16, they could have applied for technical college at whatever age they're capable and then found themselves with a bachelor degree 6 years later, or a PhD ~10 years later (if they were really good).

>>35269272
Why would you expect them to be otherwise? Children are deemed too irresponsible to make their own decisions, so until this thinking of them changes, the best system for them is totalitarian rule.

Likewise, certain leftists, liberals and Marxists believe that even adults are too irresponsible to make their own decisions, so we have nanny states and people who want nanny states./

>>35269190
It runs lisp code in hardware. Lisp code is compiled to machine code, of course, but the machine code already resembles the lisp code such that the compiler doesn't have to do most common-place optimizations today. The hard lifting is done in hardware instead.

This.

>>35269292
How do you expect children to become responsible if they are never allowed to make their own decisions?
I think leftists are correct in believing that many adults are incapable of being responsible for themselves, but I think it's because no one is taught how to be responsible for himself as a child.

>>35269292
Maybe if you had social skills you'd understand his point:

>Should we put him in a higher grade?
>No... he'd be even more awkward and excluded
>Let's keep him where he is and at least give him half a chance of having a social life

>>35269292
Ironically, the people that make decisions about education are arguably the least responsible of everyone involved in education. They're usually detached from the system and real world function of said system; for example, schools still don't embrace that data processing is more valuable than data retention.

Being a Britfag, all state-funded schools have uniforms and a strict curriculum; it strikes me as stifling that we (as in England) use a system that encourages merging into a monolithic entity rather than enjoying your freedom of mind. What's worse is kids in the UK start taking standardized tests at 7 years old to 'test how the teachers are doing'. What kind of insane system conditions children into one way of thought because the people teaching them need to be tested?

It's absurd on so many levels. I completely concur that children need guidance and that it's the job of adults to provide guidance; but I see a difference between guidance and railroading them.

People aren't responsible for themselves because it's easier to elect an official who "we like" to make all the decisions for us.
Then, if he does a shit job, we can blame him. The electoral process at this point is just a scapegoat generation system.

>How do you expect children to become responsible if they are never allowed to make their own decisions?
I don't. I don't claim to know or understand what's "right," I'm not a politician, I'm not even a philosopher.

Maybe you're right in that second sentence, but it's none of your concern. If you can understand that you're responsible for yourself, and that you're entitled to make your own decisions about yourself, then you can understand that it'd be equal to view others in that light as well.
