There's an old Bayesian thought exercise: Imagine that the test for Condition X has a 1/100 false positive rate (specificity), but X occurs in only 1/1000 people. If you select a random person and they test positive for X, it

If you really want to fire someone, you're willing to bleed a little (or a lot) to do it. I've seen key personnel be let go, followed by a scramble to figure out what only they know. In this case it sounds like a "junior quan

Good PSA, but to be fair: It's a blog and not a big publication with professional editors, which themselves tend to make more egregious errors (Malcolm Gladwell's "Igon Values" comes to mind). I'd be more worried if

I wonder if there's no attack on these. I think I'm fantasizing, and I suspect this won't work, but: Inject the vacuum-sealed package with a thermal plastic/resin that keeps the beans in position. Then cut open the solid

Python's subprocess, os.system, etc. offload the work to your system's shell. Bun, on the other hand, is running the scripts in its own runtime.

It's infinitely divisible, so not in the same sense as the loss of any other limited item. There could be only one Bitcoin in existence and it wouldn't change the utility of the system.

It's not a "no true Scotsman" (scrumsman :)) if the counterexample is in fact not a Scotsman. Whether it is or isn't depends on your feelings on scrum, but it's not a fallacy to try to defend the initial definitio

IANAL. I think this varies by jurisdiction, usually about wiretapping laws. Some places are single-party consent (i.e. if you're a party in the meeting, you have the right to record), but others require all party consent (i.e. you must

This feels like a low-content article. The only thing I can get out of it is: Learning Haskell teaches you language features and patterns that you can take to other languages. As an FP dabbler I agree, but I wish there were more to this. &g

I don't know if in-video ads are a mark of a bad creator. It seems like it's one of the only ways to make money on YT if your primary product is videos (as opposed to having a larger brand, product, merchandise, etc). So you can b

I don't think that would work? Exit nodes proxy traffic from the Tailscale network to the internet, not the other way around. Kind of like a consumer VPN. The other reply mentions Funnel, which I think fits the use case better.

How would you set this up? You'd still need a box with a public IP to proxy the traffic, no? (Unless you get all your friends to install Tailscale so that they can access your private network).

That's correlation at best (as you said, but worth emphasizing). And IQ is a problematic metric for anything other than how good you are at taking IQ tests.
