The sisters “paradox” – counter-intuitive probability

It seems simple, but it isn't There are a couple of famous counter-intuitive problems in probability theory and the sisters "paradox" is one of them. I'll tell you the problem, let you guess the solution, and then give you some of the background. Here's the problem: a family has two children. You're told that at least one of them is a girl. What's the probability both are girls? (International Film Service / American Releasing Co., Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons) Assume that the pr

Uncertain<T>

You know what’s wrong with people? They’re too sure of themselves. Better to be wrong and own it than be right with caveats. Hard to build a personal brand out of nuance these days. People are attracted to confidence — however misplaced. But can you blame them? (People, that is) Working in software, the most annoying part of reaching Senior level is having to say “it depends” all the time. Much more fun getting to say “let’s ship it and iterate” as Staff or “that won’t scale” as a Principal.

Over 450 Diablo developers at Blizzard have unionized

More than 450 Diablo developers at Blizzard Entertainment have voted to unionize with the Communications Workers of America (CWA).

The best Labor Day sales for 2025: Get up to 50 percent off gear from Apple, Dyson, Sony and others

Labor Day marks the unofficial end to summer as the weather starts to get crisper and students head back to school for the new semester. It also marks a good time to check out the tech deals available across the web. While seasonal holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day are not the boon for tech sales that shopping events like Amazon Prime Day are, they can present good opportunities to save on things like laptops, tablets, smart home gear and more. Here, we've curated the best Labor Day sa

Big News: reMarkable’s E-paper Tablet May Be Getting Small

reMarkable is back, teasing something big (but also maybe small) slated for Sept. 3. In a teaser on YouTube, the company is building hype about the upcoming event with a very brief glimmer of what appears to be a new product. In the teaser, reMarkable includes on-screen text stating that “something is on the move.” I don’t claim to be some kind of riddle-solving brain genius, but I am going to go ahead and guess there’s a deeper meaning to that statement. “Something,” in this case, most likely

Honor’s Magic V5 foldable almost feels too thin

As soon as I picked up Honor’s Magic V5, I was a little concerned about its durability. The fourth generation of Honor’s Android foldable may not be massively thinner than its predecessor, but it sure feels like it. Yes, it’s built with aerospace-grade materials to make it sturdy despite its svelteness, but it’s also the first foldable I’d insist on buying a case for because goodness me, it’s thin. If you recall, the last handset in this series was the Magic V3 and no, you haven’t fallen asleep

Investors are loving Lovable

In Brief Investors are clambering to get onto Swedish vibe-coding startup Lovable’s cap table, making unsolicited offers of investment that value the company at more than $4 billion, reports Financial Times. Lovable CEO Anton Osika isn’t currently engaging with the flurry of inbound, the Times says, which comes a few weeks after the startup announced a $200 million round at a $1.8 billion valuation in a deal led by Accel. A Lovable spokesperson told the outlet the company isn’t fundraising now

A Ritzy L.A. Enclave Learned a Bitter Lesson About the Limits of Its Wealth

In June, after months of thwarted efforts, the City of Calabasas received a favorable ruling in its case against Los Angeles County: The Superior Court ruled that Calabasas had the right to test the fire debris deposited in the landfill. The court decision seemed to have an effect: For the next seven weeks, the county and Calabasas tried to negotiate a settlement. No agreement was reached, however, and finally, on Aug. 11, experts hired by the city took 20 samples from four trucks arriving at t
