alt-l opens, alt-h closes currently. h takes you to the parent of the current node.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of removing the node if you never typed anything. Good idea.

=) that's coming.

I can imagine client-side routing, sane data management, and intelligent code base organization all without mutating the data of your state. Granted, JS won't move to immutable data structures, but React encourages you to treat your states as immutable, which leads to lots of benefits.

maybe "details" is the wrong way to phrase it. I'm excited to see /a real world implementation/, either proving that it really is that simple, or showing what other complications arise.

the difference here is that there's no "fake-world" contest. Tarsnap is asking for a real-world hack of their system.

Telegram, on the other hand, is trying to prove that their algorithm is unbreakable. AES is pretty good too. As is noted in other comments, it's generally the system, not the algorithm, that gets broken.

You're definitely not "too late" to make the switch, as long as you're ok with staying in school a few more years. I would say definitely jump over to CS, get to know some professors and their research interests. College can be invaluable for making those connections and experiencing cutting-edge research. source: I'm currently a cs undergrad doing some awesome machine learning research :)
