Knowledge is a bit rusty (took a module in Uni) but I'll try to answer.

A mixed state is that which is a linear combination of pure states e.g. a|0> + b|1>

What determines an entangled state is that qubit values will correlate exactly with each other. |00> + |11> would be an example of an entangled state as measuring one qubit determines the value of the other with certainty. If you measure |0> for the first qubit, the second will definitely be |0> and vice versa.

They are also not mutually exclusive as mixed entangled states exist.

Getting Productive with Vim in a Week Without Hating It
Definitely pays off to go back to school. You will be in an environment where everyone around you, tenured professors and young students alike, are pushing hard to keep learning and growing. That will be specially true if you pick a research area in which the state of the art changes every 6 months (maybe distributed computing fits this description, I'm not sure, I work with AI/DL/RL).

And if you are the kind of person that can only be happy while you are personally growing, the motivation is learning in itself.
Be very sure you like research and academia. CS != programming.

You haven't mentioned anything about teaching/mentoring others, or hobbies. Maybe it's time to focus less on your job?

I purchased a (I believe) mid or late 2014 model Macbook Air with the upgraded CPU and RAM and it's one of the best computers I've owned. Very snappy still to this day, extremely durable, and it wasn't terribly expensive compared to other laptops with similar hardware/form factor.

The borrow checker is mainly a problem when the same data needs to be modified in two different places. Only the PPU writes to a frame buffer(that it owns), so it wasn't a problem there.

The game controllers were another case: They are mapped in CPU address space, so the CPU needs a permanent mutable reference to them. But the top-level also needs to update them with inputs read from my Xbox 360 controller.

Another concern with Elixir is that, like Node, it is optimised for IO, not computation. Take chatbots, for which Elixir is supposed to be ideal - what if my chatbot connects to a computation-intensive AI/NLP model. I'm going to need something else for that, surely? Elixir and Node are good for the orchestration layer but lack the all-round capabilities of, say, the JVM platform.
Oh wow, of all the random things to turn up!

Years ago, I occupied by commute time by learning some Spanish with Pimsleur CD's. I'm nowhere near native, but got far enough along with it to take some continuing education classes at a local community college. I built up a small bookshelf of Spanish-language books, from various random sources.

One of those books is "Donde No Hay Doctor". I thought it purely an obscure Spanish publication, and am ALMOST a bit disappointed to learn that it's a well-known book in numerous languages.

I've been chronically ill for over a decade and founded my first company last year. Perhaps the hardest truth I've had to learn to accept is that I simply do not have as many hours in the day as a healthy person. I spend at least 2 hours a day physically managing my illness, not to mention the mental overhead of my illness being at back of my mind constantly. So I've had to either become more efficient, hire and delegate more effectively, or come to terms with the fact that I can only expect so much output from myself (I've done all three).

As far as finding balance in my life - I've done a terrible job at it, but I was creating a novel product and rushing to get it to market. If I had to do it again, I probably would have done the same thing.

My company is not yet successful and my finances are dwindling, so I'll going to pick up some contract work and build up my reserves again. When I've got enough money saved for another 12 month run at my company, I'm going to jump right back in.

I'd agree if the problems is within the software "black box" (the software term, not the aircraft thingy).

But to me it currently looks like it's largely a problem of how the different systems interact and how it's communicated to the users aka pilots. That's something one should be able to spot from the flowcharts/blueprints or whatever they have to document system integration.

Tuning Hyperparameters Without Grad Students
I’ve taken psychedelics a few times. Sometimes, it’s just been mild and giggling at colors and nature. Pleasant, but just kind of a fun drug. Sometimes it’s been just extremely confusing and not at all fun, to the extent that I’d forget my own name or what I’ve taken and basically just all memories. It’s very frustrating to be in that state, constantly trying not to fly away but not able to ground yourself. It’s a little disturbing, but not horrific.

Sometimes though, it’s been a truly beautiful, enlightening experience. I still think of it sometimes. It’s very difficult to really explain in words, but it feels like kind of extreme empathy with all life. Buddhists would call it going egoless. I just felt very at peace: we all live, we all die, and it’s all okay. I’m not particularly religious or spiritual at all but that experience really changed me a bit, I still think of it. It feels like a shortcut to enlightenment that usually takes a lifetime of meditation, albeit short-lasting. To really get it permanently, you probably have to meditate a lot. It was amazing. It feels like life is in all these different forms, and you just happen to be one variation of it, but you could easily be any other living thing, so you just feel love and empathy for all life. And you know it’s finite and you’re not afraid of death. I would still attempt to avoid death, but I was just at peace with it if it was inevitable.

I think it’s a shame psychedelics get put in the same category as other drugs in the law and in people’s heads. It’s not at all the same as heroin, meth, cocaine. Not at all. I think on balance they should probably be legal, but I can easily imagine someone with mental illness struggling with mushrooms so I’m glad John Hopkins is doing these studies. It does seem like the therapeutic affects are long-lasting, and it’s not like you can overdose on them. The worst that can happen is you do something stupid while on them. However if the dose is so strong, you probably wouldn’t be able to move much anyway.

Edit: a lot of replies to this post seem to talk about LSD. I was actually talking about mushrooms. I've only taken LSD once. Maybe the distinction matters.
Get This Seven Simple REST Client Examples for Retrieving API Data
On one hand, I really like Clojure (and Lisp in general). On the other, I find that I have to have a much higher level of focus to get anything done in a Lisp, and 90% of my time I'm fighting to stay on task anyhow. When I was doing Clojure, it wasn't uncommon for me to have days of struggling to understand the (very terse) code punctuated by a few hours here and there of extremely productive programming.

Those productive hours were very, very satisfying, but the biggest thing I took away from the experience was that it underscored my ADD. If I didn't have ADD, I think I would be spending a lot more of my time in Clojure/Lisp.

Except that this isn't hypothesis testing. The graphs are not clearly labelled, but I'm interpreting the results as indicating that the entire population is shifted. This would be a significant advantage.

(If it was hypothesis testing, 1 sigma could be statistically significant depending on sample size. You might be confusing the population variance with the sample mean variance.)
The problem I had with the bullet gem however is that some times you actually want N+1 queries. Especially with Russian-Doll caching.

I want my cache key to be lean, only fetching one record without its associations, because if the data is cached, I don't need any further queries anyway. If I "fix" my N+1 queries and load all associations, I actually negate the benefits of the nested caching and incur a cost I can avoid.

That's why I'm such a fan of TurboGears - it's an easy starting point, but as soon as you want to step up to making your own library choices it's trivial to do so. I think the key insight is that no-one ever wants to go back to upgrading all of their different libraries in lockstep; a "platform" of libraries that are versioned together is a good starting point but at a certain point in the project lifecycle you want to unlock from that and after that trying to go back to the platform is only ever going to be pain.

Everyone is okay with restrictions on freedom of speech when it comes to child pornography. But restricting 8chan is suddenly too much?

I'm curious where we draw the line and what the criteria is. It's clear we need a line, since we shouldn't encourage the proliferation of child pornography for example.

But should we tolerate a community that had a "Brent Tratton Appreciation Thread" on the day of the NZ shooting? [1]

I forgot to add, the reason they don't drill down is because it's hard and expensive. The arms are 4km, and to get the required sensitivity they bounce the light about 300 times before detecting it.

Drilling down 4km would be quite expensive, especially since you need a large mirror assembly[1] and vibration isolation system[2] down there. The mirror assembly and vibration isolation systems would also have to be of a different design, further increasing cost and complexity.

I was in a similar situation in late 2017 and ended up getting a 5K iMac since I didn't need portability anymore. Best Mac I've ever had.

The 5K iMac couldn't cool the i7 7700K properly, and since fan noise is extremely annoying for me I got the i5 6500K model. In over a year I've heard the fan a couple of times, but it is silent most of the time. Performance wise, I've never found myself wishing I had gotten the i7. I do mostly dev, but also video editing, photography, and music production as hobbies. Of course I got the SSD and 16GB.
Free speech didn't cause the Charlottesville murder. A murderer did.

Removing freedom doesn't make anyone safer. Look at London, for example, where they have less freedom than in Soviet Russia; no guns, not even tipped knives are allowed. That's like a child's school cafeteria. They're literally treated like little children, and yet the murder rate is epic. Would you fix that by removing more freedom? If you lock all Londoners in separate cells, the murder rate will surely go down.

The great revolution in the history of man, past, present and future, is the revolution of those determined to be free.

How often does that happen? It doesn't seem reasonable to put off security updates that have already been fixed and are simply waiting to install.

Firefox is the only program I've run into where automatic updates have led to a negative experience. Every single other program handles them just fine.

Just like the idea goes "if we make it harder to get guns, we may still have tragedies but fewer", the rationale may go for making it harder to find like-minded hate online.

Right now. On your personal computer or through tor, go to 8chan /pol/. It is a cesspool.

Where those cesspools exist, publicly searchable and accessible, hate can breed. I know I /want/ them gone, but I'm not sure if I'm okay with it being done by law, because that's a lot of power over the Internet that governments haven't had.

I've been coding for years using a preprocessor that eliminates most parentheses: Indentation implies parentheses. A pipe "|" opens a parenthesis that auto-closes at the end of that line or at the next ")". A dollar "$" opens a parenthesis that auto-closes when the indentation recovers. The result has a lighter, more poetic look than any language I know, and the parentheses that are left actually matter, so I pay attention to them.

I've seen other proposals online, but they felt untested to me. Leave out either "|" or "$" and the above system gets clumsy. I check for the equivalent of "$" in other proposals exactly as I check for marrow in a stew recipe: Did they really think this through?

One can't change existing habits. An idea that appeals to me: Write a Lisp preprocessor for Rust, and happen to use this syntax.

> the typical meat based, western diet is strongly linked to all of our most deadly diseases

The standard American diet is composed of 70% plant-based foods, which is the same ratio found in the Mediterranean diet which is lauded as one of the most healthful.

It's not the meat that's causing the issues, it's the processed plant foods and plant-derived oils that destroy one's health on a western diet. Or in other words, the horrible food quality. Any diet that doesn't include processed plant foods and oils will be an improvement from one that does, regardless of whether it includes meat.
