    1. Generally, bootstrap involves the following steps:
      1. A sample from population with sample size n.
      2. Draw a sample from the original sample data with replacement with size n, and replicate B times, each re-sampled sample is called a Bootstrap Sample, and there will totally B Bootstrap Samples.
      3. Evaluate the statistic of θ for each Bootstrap Sample, and there will be totally B estimates of θ.
      4. Construct a sampling distribution with these B Bootstrap statistics and use it to make further statistical inference, such as:
        • Estimating the standard error of statistic for θ.
        • Obtaining a Confidence Interval for θ.

    1. Second, there are some fantastic projects out there like Create React App, preact-cli, nwb, and much more that avoid the boilerplate problem but at the expense of some other tradeoffs. Your configuration could be black-boxed and not able to be modified. They could force you to eject your configuration, making maintenance of the entire build dependency tree and configuration your responsibility again, and also preclude future configuration updates.
    2. First, while boilerplates are great for getting a project up and running quickly, over time, you may run into difficulties with the build system being tightly coupled to the application repository. As you make commits to your project, it is often hard or impossible to apply updates from the upstream boilerplate, which could include crucial bug fixes.

    1. 1) <hex_major><hex_minor> device number in hexadecimal represents itself * no leading 0x, for example b302. * 2) /dev/nfs represents Root_NFS (0xff) * 3) /dev/<disk_name> represents the device number of disk * 4) /dev/<disk_name><decimal> represents the device number * of partition - device number of disk plus the partition number * 5) /dev/<disk_name>p<decimal> - same as the above, that form is * used when disk name of partitioned disk ends on a digit. * 6) PARTUUID=00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF representing the * unique id of a partition if the partition table provides it. * The UUID may be either an EFI/GPT UUID, or refer to an MSDOS * partition using the format SSSSSSSS-PP, where SSSSSSSS is a zero- * filled hex representation of the 32-bit "NT disk signature", and PP * is a zero-filled hex representation of the 1-based partition number. * 7) PARTUUID=<UUID>/PARTNROFF=<int> to select a partition in relation to * a partition with a known unique id. * 8) <major>:<minor> major and minor number of the device separated by * a colon.
