@Kacccha_aam Memorizing doesn't work. Try spaced repetition

@CodeFryingPan Why yours and not https://t.co/WxIlcAaOXc?

The Microsoft / CrowdStrike outage has taken down most airports in India. I got my first hand-written boarding pass today 😅

@ozanyrc Sleep on it. Figure it out in my dream lol

[James @jamesrp13]

Work with great people. That's the tweet.

Things I can work on:

- time management, procrastination (no late assignments)
- more time for events/social gatherings
- start things early
- solve more problems on leetcode, hackerrank, codewars
- time for reading, podcasts
- post more on x (maybe 😂)

Some other spring highlights:

- met an engineer from MIT
- met a startup founder
- received an invite to the Grace Hopper Celebration event
- I got picked for a summer group project (not first pick, though 😂)
- professor gave me a recommendation
- got paid to mentor

[Jen @JenDoesCode]

Most importantly, I learned to appreciate the math behind the code a lot more.

I learned how to hash strings with math first and then code. It made me realize how important it is to understand theories, computation, and linear algebra.

[Jen @JenDoesCode]

The 2024 spring semester is finally over!!!! I feel like I can breathe again 😊

I learned a lot about
- greedy algorithms
- proof by induction
- number theory
- regular expressions
- finite state machines
- OOP
- program design
- timing algorithm runtimes

Thanks to @LastMileFund and @ShelminaAbji for giving women access to a free copy of her book. I was lucky to receive one and I feel like it was something i needed to remind myself why I'm here and doing what I'm doing.

[Jen @JenDoesCode]

I need to get back to building...

@aMichaelLyons I just cleaned mine this week and removed every key. How did you know? 😂

[Jen @JenDoesCode]

@hernandoabella eeeee too much for me. I'm out.

[Jen @JenDoesCode]

@Jackiesafari 😂😂

@vavesalon @CosimoCapital @erinmagennis @DeSciResearch @MuseMatrix_ @vavesalon i didn't know you knew @erinmagennis lol small world. 😂
Nice meeting you today btw!

1871, a tech incubator in Chicago, hosted a career fair to get to know some of the startups in the city. I met some pretty cool people today and got free headshots. @0xEthChicago, @_thegreenzone_, Quality Builders among a few

Another good research on CPU attacks on Apple's M1 and M2 processors. Ciphertext blinding and running cryptographic processes on specific cores are suggested, but they come with performance penalties.

🔮Future Trends: Future advancements in RSA cryptography might explore quantum-resistant techniques to ensure security against emerging threats posed by quantum computing. MIT Reading on emerging encryption standards: https://t.co/wpwuvyHvdI

🔐 A Thread on #RSAHistory: RSA encryption is one of the oldest public-key cryptography systems that involves raising a message to the power of the public exponent modulo n, while decryption requires raising the ciphertext to the private exponent modulo n.

[Jen @JenDoesCode]

🔍 Security Measures: Selecting large prime numbers enhances security by making factorization difficult. This ensures the security of RSA encryption against attacks.
