XML predecessor.

To remove and install Shimano and ISIS Drive splined 20-tooth bottom bracket cups.

Bought: 2020-11-07. Also getting a park Tool PAW-12 adjustable wrench to use with it.

They seem to do some cool stuff.

They have also declined every one of Ciro Santilli's applications for software engineer jobs before any interview. Ciro always wondered what does it take to get an interview with them. Lilely a PhD? Oh well.

In the early days at least lots of gamedev experience was enough though: www.linkedin.com/in/charles-beattie-0695373/.

This is the discrete logarithm problem where the group is a cyclic group.

In this case, the problem becomes equivalent to reversing modular exponentiation.

This computational problem forms the basis for Diffie-Hellman key exchange, because modular exponentiation can be efficiently computed, but no known way exists to efficiently compute the reverse function.

A cool thought: bacteria like E. Coli replicate every 20 minutes. A human replicates every 15 years. So how can multicellular beings possibly cope with the speed of evolution of parasites?

The answer is that within us, the adaptive immune system is a population of cells that evolves very quickly. So in a sense, within our bodies there is fast cell-level non-inheritable evolution happening daily!

Binds an amino acid to the correct corresponding tRNA sequence. Wikipedia mentions that humans have 20 of them, one for each proteinogenic amino acid.

Unit of electric current.

Affected by the ampere in the 2019 redefinition of the SI base units.

What you see along a line or plane in a wave interference.

Notably used for the pattern of the double-slit experiment.
