The bigger issue is learning to use makeup, unless you’re just talking about lipstick and nail polish.To learn to use makeup effectively, you will need allies, not just a makeup kit. Here’s three good options to help you find allies and supportive friends:Join a theatre group (or cosplay group) and be 100% open about wanting to learn to do your own makeup.Disclose your makeup interests to a female friend to help you. Look for someone who is kind and good at keeping secrets … and good at doing makeup! :-)Show a bit of gender non-conformity publicly. Some girls/women find that very attractive, so the ones who spend the most time with you would likely want to help you with makeup, too.Androgyny is the type of gender non-conformity that your parents are least likely to notice. That’s the way androgyny works, people who know you as male will still see you as male. People who don’t know you, might see you as either male or female. Androgyny blends between male and female presentation. Here’s a post on that if you’re interested in how to do it.Naomi Lauren's answer to What are subtle ways (dress, scent, manners…) to make others read me as female?An easier kind of gender non-conformity is rebel, hippie or musician styles. Do some google image searches to see what I mean. These will be noticed by your parents, but they will probably write it off as a passing phase.punk+gender+creative — Google Image Searchrock+musician+androgynous — Google Image Searchhippie+musician — Google Image SearchIf you just want lipstick and nail polish, all you need is:Lipstick and makeup remover.Nail polish and nail polish remover.Youtube to teach you about colour coordination and makeup application.Practise, practise, practise. :-)Save up your money, then travel to the LGBTQ part of town, drop into a drugstore (pharmacy), and ask for advice about colours!If you need to hide this from your parents, don’t use nail polish, nail polish remover or makeup remover in your bedroom. The smell is quite distinctive and your mother will recognise it.IMPORTANT NOTE: Doing this by yourself might seem fun and exciting at first, but you will eventually lose interest, or else want to do this with other people. My recommendations 1, 2 & 3 above, are some of the easiest ways to find supportive friends.

Correlation functions in quantum field theories are usually calculated using the Lagrangian approach and order-by-order perturbative expansion (i.e., Feynman diagrams). However, in some cases, when the theory has enough symmetries, other and better approaches may be used. Conformal bootstrap is one such approach, applicable to conformal field theories.This is, of course, extremely useful in the study of conformal field theories themselves. However, it also has uses in "real-life" applications. For example, when thermodynamical systems are at the critical point they may be described using a conformal field theory. Studying conformal field theories may thus yield results about critical phenomena in various "real-life" systems.In a recent influential paper, [1203.6064], conformal bootstrap was used to compute bounds on the critical exponents in the 3D Ising model. It was shown that the conformal bootstrap approach produces results consistent with the values of the critical exponents previously calculated using other approaches, and measured experimentally. Conformal bootstrap thus provides a rigorous, non-perturbative method to calculate the critical exponents to arbitrary precision and, more generally, provide a better understanding of critical phenomena.

There’s no right answer here.I like to fall back to the Philip Crosby quality model to measure stuff like this. If you’re not familiar:The definition of quality is conformance to requirements (requirements meaning both the product and the customer's requirements)The system of quality is preventionThe performance standard is zero defects (relative to requirements)The measurement of quality is the price of nonconformanceLet’s look at this in two parts: part one, you specify the security requirements fully up front; part two, you discover security requirements not in the original spec after you’ve deployed.Part one: you have fully defined the security behavior of the program suite, the APIs, the network interfaces, the server implementation, the data security model both at rest and in transit, the identification and authentication portions, it’s all well understood and fully modeled, and you believe there are no edge cases which have not been considered.Waterfall: you write code, in phases typically, have code reviews, unit test, integrated test, as you have code ready to deploy regression test so new code doesn’t break old code, and staged release cycles. At every stage of development, you have someone verifying and validating all of the functional, performance and security requirements are being met, and no code ships until it does.Price of non-conformance: low, nothing slips out without being vetted. In the words of the ’86 Gallo Wind commercial “no code is shipped before its time”.Price of deployment: high, because you can only estimate timelines, and you will have time slips as things delay due to not passing test.Price of enforcing conformance: low, because there’s no non-conformant code in the system.DevOps: you write code in a continuous integration model, with for every unit of code the writer of code being the tester and deployer of code. The end goals are defined, the interim workproduct much less so; as code hits unit test (maybe before, depending on how well run the shop is) it is deployed to production. New code is deployed against old code, and the functional requirements of the code are incremented from baseline to maximum over time without scheduled releases.All behavior of the program is in flux as all of the code base is in flux. You have some baselines (typically the data security model, the network model, the auth and id models and an initial API) that are relatively immutable, but the API grows over time as more backend function is added or as frontend needs things that aren’t readily done via the current API.Price of non-conformance: high. At any given point in time, the code may or may not meet the requirements because release is continuous.Price of deployment: low. Code happens as it happens, and while feature availability may trail a desired trajectory, there is no situation in which at least the major components of the system is not available.Price of enforcing conformance: moderate. The code being adapted for continuous integration, new code can be injected and old code can be rolled back really simply.Part two: As in Part one: you have fully defined the security behavior of the program suite, the APIs, the network interfaces, the server implementation, the data security model both at rest and in transit, the identification and authentication portions, it’s all well understood and fully modeled, and you believe there are no edge cases which have not been considered. And then, mid way into the cycle, or later in the cycle post-deployment, something changes and you need to revise the model, the specifications, the requirements, the measure of success - and build new code to match.Waterfall: You now have to re-analyze the existing code base, figure out how to modify it to meet the new requirements. There will be a significant amount of time doing this before you can even touch writing code. Depending on the size of the code base, this may be measured in years, and it is not unheard of for a project manager assigned such a task to lobby for a “2.0” release that meets the new requirements that is in point of fact a new build from the ground up, not based on prior code.Once the process is agreed, a release cycle defined, the staged release functionality set, it proceeds as in Part One.Price of non-conformance: Under Crosby, this would be a new project where you’d set aside the fact that you previously have a working system, so the cost would still be low-to-zero. In reality, you’d have to take the time spent figuring out how to modify the system to meet the new requirements plus the modification time, making it be thorough the roof. God help you if you just “missed something” as opposed to major regulator change that forced the new requirements.Price of deployment: massive. You have to cut a full production system over to a new production system. You can use some DevOps techniques, notably using load balancers to split load, once you have a unified backend data store that can be used by both old and new systems, but it’s still painful.Price of enforcing conformance: same as in Part one.DevOps:You have a new set of requirements that you add to your previously set of requirements, and as before, things get implemented as they get implemented and rolled out as they’re done. Regression testing becomes more important as you don’t want to break old expected behavior against the new code which enforces new requirements, and analysis of how the new requirements change user interaction will drive a lot of code.Again, absent changes to the backend datastore that impact both forwards and backwards deployment, code just rolls out.Price of non-conformance: high. at any given time only part of the code base will be meeting requirements, and code that is meeting requirements today may be reverted tomorrow.Price of deployment: low. code rolls out over time, shifts to new instances managed by load splitting.Price of enforcing compliance: moderate, much much lower than waterfall. Again, the code deployment happens incrementally and new code can be injected and old cold reverted simply.So, if you believe that the security and functional requirements can be fully understood and defined and tested, and time-to-first-deployment is not an issue, waterfall flat kills everything else.Which is why that’s still how we build secure systems, embedded systems, device firmware, and everything else that can be encapsulated and shrink-wrapped.If on the other hand you believe that you only partially understand the full requirements and their implications and expect that before the project is fully delivered that there will be changes, you’d pretty much be an idiot to not use something other than waterfall.Do note that there is an alternative, pioneered at Cisco for their IOS router code releases, called “code train”, which provides all the rigor of waterfall with some of the flexibility of DevOps, by chunking the overall code into smaller pieces with a release schedule and a set of rules for modifying what’s in each progressive release chunk.If you have concerns about maintaining tight control over code quality but keeping to something approaching continuous integration release speed, studying that is in order.Further note: you have to be able to understand and articulate the functional and security requirements across all anticipated use cases to make any of this be more than guesswork, and that’s where 90%+ of modern code fails.
