Drew DeVault tried building something similar to this under the name SearchHut, but the project was abandoned [1]. I tried hacking on it a while ago (since it's built on Postgres and a bit of Go), but I ran out of steam trying to understand the Postgres RUM extension.
I had this tool saved as a bookmark, and didn't find any existing HN discussion, so I decided to post myself.
At first glance this seems to offer similar functionality to PAR2, with the disadvantage that errors cannot be corrected, as parity data is not stored in the digest.
I am always deathly afraid of forgetting a definition/key result in an exam.
Whenever I practice, I always have my notes in front of me and I focus on puzzling through the problem at hand rather than testing my memory.
But in an exam, for me there us always the possibility of failing to recall some fact. To combat this, I record every not-completely-obvious fact into Anki and aggressively practice it in the run-up to the exam.
The benchmarks are sometimes comparing an old build with bypassed denuvo with a newer build with optimizations and no DRM, and claiming that performance increase is only because of no drm and not because of optimizations.
Worrying about reputation rather than character then? Do you give other people such considerations when they're speaking but not yourself, or do you judge other people (like you judge yourself) if you don't get everything 100% clear to someone even when there's inadequate time to do so?
Perhaps needing to learn to forgive yourself for "looking stupid," when there's a reasonable reason that you realize if having enough time you could correct or clarify it; part of the extreme difficulty and hard work to grow when being a conscious individual who feels things strongly-cares a lot.
It differed quite a bit. There were a handful that put in the same effort as I did and the few I've kept contact with are doing quite well. I'd say that just over half of the students stuck to core hours and most of them didn't make it through the bootcamp at all. I recall that many of those that stuck to core hours and graduated had some programming knowledge already or were exceptionally smart.
About a quarter of those that graduated in my cohort are in the IT field, but are project managers or something similar.
The bootcamp was in 3 phases and you had 2 chances to test out of a phase or you'd be kicked out. Of my starting cohort of 16 people, 12 of us completed the bootcamp. Our cohort grew to 22 people though because there were people that had repeated phases to complete it.
I have fewer personal software projects going on than I used to (in fact, almost none), and these days I think I spend a lot of the time on unimportant busywork, under the excuse that "organising myself will free me up in the future, when something interesting comes around".
However I also recently quit social media (by this I don't count IRC, HN and the Fediverse as these are mostly text-based - okay to browse in my books), quit soft drinks, quit YouTube (almost, new videos come in through my subscriptions about once a day) and started reading (albeit very slowly) after a multi-year lapse. So it's not all bad.
