I think bootcamps are a social signal as much as anything else, if you get a private tutor it's basically invisible.

Sure, you'll most likely learn an absolute ton more but with a bootcamp it's public and you'd network and meet people there too.
"yet the upcoming generation always ends up surpassing their parents achievements"

What do you consider "surpassing their parents achievements"? Sure we may be continuing the technical progress of their generation (i.e., picking up where they left off to go retire), but who's to say that given a greater lifespan, they wouldn't go on to achieve what we have?

If I spent 30 years of my life developing principles of some new science, and the next generation uses these principles to make life better, are they surpassing my achievements?
Very elegantly put.

> no robotic maintenance systems ... neutron load.

ITER has full remote handling as it's expected to get extremely radioactive. Scaling reactors up does not really mean increasing the neutron load on the walls as you want to keep that fairly steady per surface area.

Tritium production has ~zero impact on operation. The breeding blankets are really simple, you take lithium and enclose it in a metal of some type. Replace after a few months.

Also, a ~10x device is unlikely to be 50-50 DT as while hard to operate on pure DD fusion it's not that hard to get when you have some tritium in the mix.

A cool story no doubt, and this is a blog post, so the author should write whatever they please. But as someone who likes Lisp and genuinely does believe Lisp-family languages have underappreciated and incredibly powerful benefits, I was dismayed to see them leap to the conclusion that it was grappling with s-expressions that allowed him to solve this problem so well. Non sequitur, navel gazey paeans to Lisp are among the reasons why people have so much trouble taking the wild claims Lispers make seriously.

Bump (YC W18) Is Hiring a Front-End Web Engineer to Own Our Web App
BUMP is the only peer-to-peer marketplace dedicated to streetwear (clothing, accessories & sneakers from brands such as Supreme, Palace, Nike).

Sam and myself built BUMP so we could find, buy and sell our own streetwear more easily. We raised $2M from Kleiner Perkins amongst other top investors in April and are hiring someone to fully own our web product which we're already in the process of building. This is the most requested feature from our 300K+ MAUs so there'll be thousands of users from day 1!

We’re building the eBay for generation Z and we’re starting with streetwear.

We're a team of 9 FT with 5 of us based in NYC so getting involved this early means you'll be defining large aspects of our company culture and future!

If you’re interested or know of anyone that would be then drop me a line! jack@sobump.com

My official diagnosis is atypical cystic fibrosis. I manage it with diet and lifestyle. I'm off all medication.

You say you have seen big improvement with diet. Let me echo what others here are saying: If you aren't getting regular, gentle exercise (walking, hydrotherapy), try adding exercise to your regimen before seeking more drastic measures, like stem cell treatment.

The lymphatic system is powered in part by exercise. It is how the body removes wastes from the tissues.

I spent several years doing a great deal of walking, often several hours a day. It took a long time to get better, but I have seen much more dramatic improvement than I ever expected.

Diet is a major aspect of managing my condition, but walking plays a really critical role. If you aren't exercising regularly, you are actively denying your body the opportunity to take out the trash. This isn't good for anyone. It's worse if you have a chronic condition.

I don't agree. If I genuinely believed all of the claims made about Jews on sites like Gab,I think it would make a great deal of sense to be anti semitic. And I think that these people genuinely believe the things they write. Within that context it seems fairly clear that the solution is not to feed their persecution complex, but to continually engage with them in the most honest way possible
The structural and functional division isn't between the eyes; it is present in both eyes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divided_visual_field_paradigm

So if we are reading horizontally, the not-yet seen text is in a portion of the field of vision of both eyes that is routed to one brain hemisphere; the text already scanned is in the opposite field of vision going to the other hemisphere.
Basic examples, a big late to go diving into old documentation.

Modula-3 version:

GENERIC MODULE Slices(T)

TYPE
Slice = RECORD
start : REF T; (* If you want the GC out of the way, replace with UNTRACED REF T*)
length: CARDINAL;
...
END;

END Slices;

Or one could simply use open arrays:

TYPE
Slice = ARRAY OF T

Eiffel version:

expanded class Slice[T]
start: detachable T;
length: INTEGER_32;
...
end

Naturally, one would use Array[T].slice() instead.

I'm not surprised. My understanding was that encryption was originally added as a whitening step to the data, a product guy somewhere heard about it and added it as a checkbox.
i really wish they would say "the .net standard" rather than just ".net standard". missing that prefixed article is confusing for someone not in the ecosystem (or me at least).

even better would be "specification" rather than "standard", the later being a word frequently used to indicate a particular version of some thing.
I'm in a similar situation. Increased patience is one of the more noticeable outcomes.
>ICE manufacturers produce ICEs because they are cheaper than EVs and that's where the market is at right now.

That's correct. But as I said, battery prices are falling and so around 2025 they won't be more expensive.

>This is a problem that solves itself automatically by simply waiting for cheaper batteries which is the strategy ICE companies are following right now.

The problem with that strategy is that an auto company can't just one day switch over from almost all ICE's to majority EV's. It takes at least half a decade to do so, so a company needs to be working very hard on the change-over before it comes.

One example is batteries. If VW should want in 2025 to switch over, it couldn't do so because there would not be remotely enough batteries being produced, and building new battery factories will take many years. So what VW and every other ICE manufacturer needs to be doing right now is investing billions in battery factories.

However they just are not doing that, or many of the other things needed to get ready, and so when the time comes they are going to get totally clobbered by Chinese manufacturers who have been ramping up EV production at a very rapid rate, and Tesla.

And the reason the Chinese companies are rapidly expanding EV production is the government is pushing them so hard. But in Europe, not to mention the US, the governments are mistakenly assuming that it is going to be ICE's forever, or at least that the EV revolution will be two or three decades from now.
It's almost religious in the end. There's no global optimum for life, even at an individual scope. That said, spending too much time trying to optimize makes you myopic, which is clearly a subpar way to live one's existence. A baby is probably near peak life.
There are two extant genera of cephalopods able to live for a few decades in fact. Ironically they are the 'dumbest' (but are elusive and keep still a lot of secrets, so maybe this point of view could change in the future).

Mass is energy, energy is mass. What's the difference? They are at different points in a curve that relates space to time.

If you trade away all the time, you get a maximum velocity: c. So the things moving at c don't experience time, and have momentum but not mass.

http://www.math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/ParticleAndNuclear...

In the same direction, if you take a mass and accelerate it, it experiences less time. There you have relativistic time dilation, as beloved by science fiction stories.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

And you simultaneously get length contraction in the direction of each velocity:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction

These are all aspects of the same thing.

Really not a dumb question at all.

> Choosing based on culture wars is buying into the bullshit.

> Gay marriage, for example, is federally protected.

Small comfort when you are gay and wish to find a safe place to hang out for a drink and hook up... Small comfort when you are an ethnic minority waiting for a bus....

> We need to fix the culture divide in this country

In my opinion this is not gonna happen any time soon. The divide is almost to the bone. It is a fundamental divide that can't be solved with mere empathy or compromise. There is no empathy to be had and no common point for compromise.

Too bad over 90% of the votes were predetermined based on the candidates original political party, not their merit.

Wait, what?

Node is very happy to asyncronously stream chunks of data over HTTP. You could write a blocking server by collecting the whole response in memory and sending it out all at once, but that’s not required by Node.

This is literally the reason Node even exists, nonblocking I/O with a simple threading model. You can have a million open connections all asynchronously nibbling data as the buffers empty.
It is almost definitely not the case that FIPS certification of any kind reliably informs you that a capable crypto engineer verified the implementation.
> Find 10 people who have adopted Poly1305 and ask them what Poly1305 does better than GCM.

Two things, one of which cannot be credited to Poly1305 directly.

1. Poly1305 is easier to implement without introducing side-channels (modulo integer multiplication on some CPUs; in which case, I defer to Thomas Pornin on how to avoid them).

2. The Chapoly constructions that use Poly1305 do so in a way that leaking the one-time Poly1305 key doesn't buy you much. (This is the one that cannot be attributed to Poly1305 directly.)

Others may have better or different answers. I implemented it in PHP [1], so anyone reading this thread should keep that in mind. :)

life a lot more fun if your improving at what your doing.
if your playing golf and over the course of the year you improve and hit the ball farther and more accurately - or you life weights and you get stronger, or your coding stuff and you can do it faster, whatever it may be.
I think there is a way to approach improvement, perhaps with the mindset of detached perseverance which will not only allow you to improve, but will allow you to do so without too much mental torture and will make the whole process pleasant.

"Millions have died in wars for us to have what we have today."

What we have is going to vary from person to person. I have no thanks to all those people for giving me a life filled with discontent and conflict.
This is a really interesting statement:

It doesn't matter what the data says, the feeling that our society is crumbling is palpable, and that is what drives this overwork.

There is an interesting conflict of interest buried in there, "someone" who is benefiting from your work figures out that if you "believe" that society is crumbling, you will work harder (which generates them more benefit), and so they arrange it so that in spite of the data to the contrary you are left feeling that society is crumbling.

Even the most intelligent and rational person will take action against their own self interest if they believe that such action is necessary. You can see that principle in action all too often today as people get caught up in a conspiracy theory and then decide to take action on their own.

It'd be interesting to see a course where you're given a large open-source project (say, Chromium or Linux or Postgres) and your task is to make & submit a small change in the codebase to implement some plain-language user request. The instructor would then walk you through how to download the project, read developer documentation, and build it; how to identify the relevant portion of the codebase, and everything else that your change might affect; how to match coding style & conventions; how to run tests; and how to submit a patch to the maintainers in a way that is likely to get accepted. Reading code is a real skillset, and being able to quickly grok & modify an unfamiliar codebase is a huge leg up in many jobs. Bonus points if the homework assignments for this course are real bug reports, so you end up contributing to open source for class credit.

Yeah I realized self help books and audio books are a waste of time and money. You get the gist from the back cover. I believe in improving myself, sure, but my approach is much simpler - just deliberate practice and being a well rounded person. Being humble and realistic helps too - I’m probably not going to be super rich, wealthy, or famous but my current life is far from bad.

This self help obsession especially among urban professionals is pretty amusing. A lot of people who only read the latest self help books and listen to the same podcasts at 2x speed but don’t actually do much.
