This morning my daughter walked into the living room and started telling me about something that happened to her. She stopped talking mid-sentence when her eye fell on the television that I had forgotten to turn off.
Only after calling her name three times and considerably raising my voice I got her attention again.
The show that was on was... the cooking channel! So the bar for television completely absorbing a child's attention seems quite low :-)
I try to make it a point to do all the chores when the kids are awake. When they are asleep is time to relax; not do mundane tasks
I don't feel it's my duty to entertain my kinds every waking hour, so if they have to settle with watching me fold the laundry or unload the dishwasher, so be it.
This probably won't win me the father-of-the-year award, and it is parenting-style me and my girlfriend don't always agree about, but I refuse to sacrifice all my free time for my children.
The article gives a nice intuition about how encryption works using elliptic curves without going too deep into the math.
I'm curious for a similar explanation for how decryption would work though; a trapdoor function is nice and all, but it's only half of the story if there is no 'way out'.
I noticed that more and more freelance development jobs (at least in the Netherlands for regular non-rockstar-developers) are asking for full-stack skills. So being only a back-end developer makes it a tad harder to find a gig.
So I suppose I am saying: good question, I wonder about the same thing.
Since the title isn't very informative about the content of the article: it's about the 2017 world expo which is held in Kazachstan and the steadying decline of visitors to these events.
I hadn't even heard of the fact there currently was a world expo in Kazachstan if it wasn't for this article. For previous expo's I at least remember them having quite some coverage in the news.
For those who are also wondering about the briefly mentioned hexagon-shaped jet stream:
One hypothesis, developed at Oxford University, is that the hexagon forms where there is a steep latitudinal gradient in the speed of the atmospheric winds in Saturn's atmosphere. Similar regular shapes were created in the laboratory when a circular tank of liquid was rotated at different speeds at its centre and periphery. The most common shape was six sided, but shapes from three to eight sided were also produced. The shapes form in an area of turbulent flow between the two different rotating fluid bodies with dissimilar speeds
I always understood the distance is measured by the amount of red shift: the further away a galaxy is, the faster it moves away from us due to the expansion of the universe. As a result, the wavelength of the light originating from this galaxy is streched moving it more to the red end of the spectrum. The amount of red shift can be used to calculate the distance of an object fairly accurately.
