OP, there's a lot of wisdom in this comment. I suspect you might be 20-something instead of 30-something, and in hindsight I wish I'd relaxed more. And I especially wish I'd learned to play the politics game, or at least pay attention to it. Your alliances will make or break your career at BigCo. You should make sure that your manager feels like you're directly advancing their career, not just yours.

I suggest channeling your ambition into your own projects, hobbies, and interests. If I'd spent more time making my own game engine rather than working on theirs, I'd still have it today.
Yeah, if you do mapping all over like that, it can get really bad. The solution, I feel, is to avoid the mapping by pushing more things closer to that central place (as outlined in the article).

At least this works well for us when building a web client, but I can't speak to how easy it is if you're using that architecture for other purposes.

> Github "left our macOS model behind and moved to Codespaces for the majority of GitHub.com development".

Yikes. I wasn't planning on working at GitHub, but I definitely wouldn't if that quote is genuine.

Imagine actually being forced to use VS Code to do your work. I love VS Code, but it seems wrong to center the team's workflow around it. I guess you're screwed if you want to use Vim or Sublime?

"Oh, but there's plugins for that!", I can hear someone say.

Yeah, f--- that sh--.

And after all, who's to say that GitHub Codespaces won't someday drop VS Code when it's no longer in vogue? GitHub Classroom touted its Repl.it integration and then deprecated it almost immediately without an equivalent alternative (just use VS Code bruh), so it's not that farfetched.
Just read what he wrote?

> Black students are 66% less likely to be identified as gifted compared to white students with similar test scores. Black, Latinx, and Native American students are far less likely to attend a school that even offers a gifted program.

The thing about 3d modeling and animation is that you should actually know a few tools. Most places ask you to have a portfolio with 3d projects. They almost never ask for specific applications. If you go to artstation.com and look at the tools modelers use they typically use a few at a time. Blender is insanely good for just modeling. you'll see lots of artist use blender just to model, then substance painter for materials then import into 3dsmax, cinema4d, or maya for the renderer.

A cool note I just learned recently is that game companies are using blender to make hard surface modeling easy. Like EA is using blender to make all the levels in the Deadspace remake and importing that into Frostbite(their game engine)
Estonia was exactly what I had in mind when I wrote my comment. You can't just guess PKI keys, but they are less accessible. You need the physical card, you must have a process for issuing/reissuing, and the technology must be available to use it. There are trade-offs. They can be good trade offs, but they exist.

America keeps conflating equity for equality.
Eliminating accelerated or gifted programs doesn't create equality any more than mandating a uniform maximum height will stop people from growing past 2 meters in height. All it does it rob society at large from the possibility of the exceptionally able from realizing their potential sooner. If we're willing, as a body politic, to eschew the possibility of an exceptional learner from discovering things like the cure for cancer in the name of equity then we'll reap the fruit of that collective decision.

I think most people have more of a problem with the fact that “no legal obligation to protect you” means that the cops can watch you get stabbed by an assailant from the safety of another subway car, and only come out once you’ve subdued the criminal and they can get the credit for capturing them.

I don’t think anyone reasonable expects the police to protect the citizenry from all danger. We do expect them to protect us from _something_ however, and the police are currently indicating that they will not even meet that low bar

Add a really good vim mode and I’m there.
I’d write the SFTP stuff as a script and invoke it as needed via a VS Code task.

I have a few workflow-type things like this that I normally do via the CLI, but now I’ve added them as tasks to VS Code for convenience. I can also create the task at the project level and check in the JSON config so that teammates can use those same tasks.

Khan Academy has some great CS tutorials, but they also have a feed of popular programs created by users. (They have an editor that lets you write and view JS side-by-side.)

I learned programming by looking at the code of programs in that feed and by making my own projects to be voted on by others. For a couple of years that was my social media, talking to other users on there, tracking what types of programs got votes, trying to circumvent Khan Academy’s security restrictions, etc. I ended up making one of the most popular programs on the website, before I started moving on to more “real world” coding.

KA’s hot list is still live and there are definitely gen Z (and below) on there making programs. I would be happy to share more if you’re interested.
Just to be clear, I have immense respect for A Short Hike. It is one of my favorite games. :-) A Short Hike also has source->sink value chains in it! If you look at how they are built, the lack of exploration and feather sinks in the late game is one of the reason it is a short hike vs a long hike. It was a smart decision to cut it off where he did.

And to the following comment, metacritic has sadly become a poor method of rating games these days. The whole game industry seems to have shifted to regular updates and metacritic remains stuck in the previous era of one-time boxed releases. Cozy Grove, for example started out around a 77% and after a year of updates is at about 94% on Steam right now. Still room to improve!
Is that because the program discriminates or because their family lacks awareness of such programs?

Those have very different solutions.

This is not just normal, but this is "The Deal" that you are accepting when you join a large company.

It's normal that a single developer is maybe 20% as efficient at a big company compared to at a small company. What you used to accomplish in one day will now take you a week (after team processes, code reviews, deployment requests, etc, etc).

But the trade-off is the big companies have figured out how to keep thousands of people productive. They might individually be less productive, but as a whole they accomplish more than a small company can accomplish. Some do it better than others, but no big company works like a small company.

That's just how it is. It's easier to solve problems with small groups of people than large groups of people. If the problem takes a large group of people, it will be a lot less efficient.

I would even say that working at a big company as essentially a different skillset than working at a start-up or small company. In a big company, your main job is to get other people to do things and you are successful based on how well you can do that. In a small company, your job is to do things yourself.

If you really hate the big company world, you should consider moving back to a small company. It's never going to not be like that.
Police may not be obligated, but almost always, if you call the police and tell them someone broke into your house and is holding you at gunpoint, the police will come and deal with the situation.

Who exactly are you helping by sowing FUD about police behavior? Even if it is technically true that police have no obligation to help you, putting that statement out there without any kind of context of how often they will help you even without the obligation is engendering uncertainty and doubt.

I support affordable universal access to basic healthcare regardless of ability to pay, but you're overestimating the impact of the healthcare system. Up until a few generations ago there was no real "system" at all, and treatments frequently caused more harm than benefit. This wasn't a significant cause of violent revolutions.

Even today, organized healthcare beyond vaccines and antibiotics has only a marginal impact on lifespan and healthspan. It's way behind sanitation (clean drinking water, sewage systems, waste disposal) and lifestyle issues (substance abuse, obesity, lack of exercise).
Dang dude, love your creativity! Let me know if I can contact you for some personalized domain suggestions for ideas I have but cannot come up with domain names for?
I purchased pycharm, couldn't stand it, logged bugs that are still open from over 5 years ago coupled with the fact I didn't see any immediate benefits coming from vim and vscode. I would never deploy from an ide, and I'm willing to make a small investment when it comes to my tools and productivity.

Also, as of lately, copilot is saving me an insane amount of time especially when it comes to boilerplate and testing.
I like the idea presented. The application of it to various constructs brings about ideas as to how to reverse the entropy:

Software: try to build orthogonal features so that maximum value can be obtained with minimum complexity; build tools with well-designed deprecation mechanisms, then have releases where underused/redundant functionality is first deprecated and then removed entirely.

e.g. all the major extension repositories for a particular tool parse the machine-generated deprecation list, scan extensions, and email owners when they use deprecated APIs. Maybe provide "shims" where APIs are internally removed entirely but transitional packages are provided that implement the removed APIs in terms of still-present ones.

Companies: deliberately design policies and organizational structures that are simple and minimize entropy; be prepared to pay some upfront financial costs to do so (e.g. because your policies aren't layers upon layers of hacks that grow every time someone makes a mistake), but reap rewards in the future as incidental costs of running your company are lower and less bureaucracy means workers are more efficient.

e.g. instead of having a bunch of different rules about different kinds of vacation time, consolidate them all into 1 or 2 kinds (normal and medical?) and give everyone a bit extra to compensate for some of the edge cases that were smoothed over.

Governments: legislators should spend some time attempting to "refactor" old laws such that fewer words and less complexity still results in effectively the same legal environment; reduce government functions (as much as some of you may dislike that idea).

e.g. instead of trying to provide hundreds/thousands of different special-case tax breaks for low-income families, use a "sliding" tax rate where e.g. at $1k/year annual income your tax rate is 0%, at $1M a year your tax rate is n%, with linear interpolation between those two extremes (or whatever). Simpler, still somewhat fair, people might actually be able to do their taxes by reading the law, and no suspicious discontinuities[1]. Or something else - with some thought and a little experience in government, I'm sure someone could come up with an income tax system that was an order of magnitude shorter than what the US has now.

It's pretty easy to implement that if you have a central authority to manage the public keys, which a government can do.

A bigger issue is how to handle it being stolen (if the "card" also needs something like a passphrase it can reduce this risk, but it's probably better to make it relatively easy to "cancel" if you lose yours, and then you have to head to the DMV or whatever to procure a replacement).

A better interpretation of unemployment insurance is you are no longer able to work through no fault of your own. That varies a little between states, but most places you are able to quit for cause and collect UI. A few examples is if your pay significantly drops, or your job duties change significantly, or your place of employment moves to an unreasonable commute. The flip is also true, you may be ineligible for UI if you're fired for cause. Quitting vs resigning isn't a direct correlation to collecting UI, though they often rhyme for general cases.

How is that an answer? If someone isn't meeting the qualifications they aren't in. What's "unacceptable" about that?

Information thermodynamics is what you are looking for, it's the unification of thermodynamics and information theory. Bear with me because I'm not a physicist, but my understanding is that information needs a medium, in which way it is similar to heat, and you can use the same statistical mechanics to describe it, or fluctuation theorem, which is more precise.

My understanding is that this is pretty cool stuff that solves Maxwell's demon and also sort of explains biological evolution, because apparently a system responding to it's environment is computation, performed by changing the system's state as a function of a driving signal, which results in memory about the driving signal that can be interpreted as computing a model, a model that can be predictive of the future. Now apparently how predictive that model is equals to how thermodynamically efficient the system is. Even the smallest molecular machines with memory thus must conduct predictive inference to approach maximal energetic efficiency.

The conflation is a very recent intellectual phenomena.
Humble question, I don't mean to sound confrontational, I ask of genuine curiosity: Why not contribute to VS Code instead?

For Julia, Atom+Juno was excellent. It was the first time I could select+run on a proper IDE (I was coming from python+notebook). To me this was revolutionary. Then I discovered VS Code, so Atom+Juno stopped making sense. You seem to be a very competent developer, so why not just contribute to VS Code?
The kids of elites and the rich will always have opportunities regardless of aptitude. Is it any surprise actor's kids tend to also have many opportunities in acting.

Are there qualifications other than test scores?
I would actually say that my gifted classes probably brought my grades down, at least in those same years.

But at the same time, they gave me a broader education and I learned more than I would have otherwise.

At my elementary school, you were taken out of normal classes 1 day per week. You still had to do all the work from that day, but you didn't actually attend those sessions for those classes. Instead, you spent the whole day in a different classroom that was solely for "gifted" students.

Of course, this meant that it really was only the top students that could handle it.

Prior to being tested and accepted into Gifted, I was a pretty constant disruption in my normal classes. I would finish all the work in class, even the stuff that everyone else had to take home because it took them so long. That left me constantly bored, and clued them in that I needed more.

TBH, I probably would have said I preferred being given a book and let sit in a corner and learned or just read fiction. But instead I was forced to be social and learn about things not usually taught in school, such as puzzle solving. I'm still very much an introvert, but I have to wonder how much more introverted I'd be if it weren't for that? Perhaps cripplingly so.

I'm a huge fan of gifted classes for obvious reasons, but not at the expense of other students. If there isn't enough budget to teach everyone to a basic level, gifted classes are not a great idea.

In fact, we should probably restructure everything so that everyone who isn't being taught at their full potential can learn more in school. I'm sure there were students around me that were almost in my same situation, but they weren't in Gifted. They were probably also bored and could have been both educated and entertained during those times, if we had the programs for it.
Are they less likely to be identified because they they are treated differently or because they go to schools that don’t offer those programs?
