  Nah, just the basics is fine. I would recommend Griffith’s and then moving on to Shankar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a good starting point for learning about quantum fields⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also really important to remember that QM is really a formalized algebra of probability/stats, so it’s really really important to get a good grasp of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a good starting point for learning about quantum fields⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d really recommend going through the basics about learning QM. Specifically: classical mechanics, a very good stats & probability math course, calc prereqs, intro to QM, maybe an atomic course, intro chem course. I’m not sure of the exact steps, but as a physics undergrad major, it’ll “click” after a certain amount of prereqs and if you need any help, feel free to PM me and I’ll gladly be of assistance (as far as I can remember, at least).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d argue it depends on who is serving it and what their intentions are. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. I went to a local Juneteenth celebration and the food stands were serving some fried chicken, collard greens, jollof rice, etc.

  It’s something our business does on occasion, as well as a hobby of his.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Boss moved resin printer into my office and it reeks⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Quick update: talked to my boss and he’ll be moving it “soon”. I think I’ll just wfh for the rest of the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there’s an update with that but I’m not entirely sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s some things Lemmy could potentially implement:

  • a default sort that favors smaller communities
  • better onboarding for users that guides them into discovering new communities
  • giving recommendations to other similar communities

  With that being said, I don’t think the current Lemmy devs would prioritize any of these.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ziply Fiber launches 50-Gig residential service for $900 per month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had Ziply Fiber before (but not 50 Gbps) and would max their upload and they didn’t even bat an eye. It’s the only ISP that I would ever recommend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC to propose a minimum 100mbps to qualify as broadband, with a future goal of 1gbps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you had really slow Internet, like smoke signals or semaphores across a nation, you could characterize it as millibit:

  1 bit over 1000 seconds = 1 millibit/s.

  But yeah, it’s basically meaningless in today’s age for Internet speeds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In college, I used to drink Starbucks’ Via. That instant coffee hits different.

  Nowadays, I make either an espresso or a pour over. But I still crave Vias sometimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure what you mean here, this is what the forum post said:

  After emailing (admittedly not current best practice), the passwords are hashed and only the hash is stored.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but SSL/TLS also solves that problem in a standardized way.

  In either case, the backend will have the plaintext password regardless of how it’s transmitted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But in situations like this there is a much larger chance it’s being stored in plain text.

  I suppose, but OP said in the title that the passwords were being stored in plaintext, despite that not being the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  People weren’t really nitpicking.

  • it’s obviously bad to send an email with a plaintext password
  • the website owners had apparently already resolved the issue
  • it does not mean the passwords were stored in plaintext
  • the OP sounds like a skiddie in a bunch of comments and doesn’t seem to understand how most websites with auth work
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but backend servers will almost always have the user-submitted password in plaintext as a variable, accessible to the backend server and any upstream proxies.

  It’s even how it’s done in Lemmy. The bcrypt verify accepts the plaintext password and the salted hash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wisest Upgrade from Raspberry Pi⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I got a free computer and upgraded the processor to an i7-6700T (eBay) and some old SSDs. It measured around 15W and I haven’t had any problems with it. It is miles ahead of using any Pi or ARM-based SBC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge in US v. Google trial didn’t know if Firefox is a browser or search engine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like most average people don’t even know alternatives to internet browsers exist, so why would I expect a judge to know? They’re obviously not experts in every field, it’s up to the attorneys to inform them and persuade them one way or another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do Multivitamins actually do anything?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My sister, who did her master’s in nutrition or some related field, says multivitamins are a waste of money. She suggests getting bloodwork and seeing if you’re deficient in anything. And if you’re deficient, it’s better to change your diet than buy multivitamins (if possible).

  With that being said, I still take a multivitamin…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
  • founder has donated several thousand dollars in support of anti-gay-marriage groups
  • they optionally replace ads on websites with their own ads
  • they are associated with crypto schemes (like their own cryptocurrency), and previously had an ftx widget
  • they sometimes add affiliate links to the end of urls, so they can collect revenue

  Same. Everyone used to rave about how good it was, but I always thought it was just average. Slightly better than the major fast food chains, but on-par with every local chain.
