It was very simple to set up a tailscale network-wide self-hosted DNS. Briefly, these are the steps:
1. Ensure that the device where you will be running your DNS (something like adguard with docker compose) is registered and has a static tailscale IP.
2. Start your DNS server/container.

Email is the cockroach of the internet - it outlives every wave trying to kill it. Forget Slack, forget Discord, forget chat apps. Email is universal, decentralized, and asynchronous. It's not sexy, but it's the ultimate survivor.

Why is the empty subset a valid subset of every set?
Let's investigate this through a bookstore example.

Another nail in the coffin of cosine similarity!
I started disliking cossim some years ago due to multiple reasons such as the non-linearity around 0.0 and the loss of certainty-information due to the normalization of feature vectors but this study seems to give another good reason to abandon it.

Today's installment in why shouldn't work when you're tired:
Integration tests pass locally but not in the CI. What gives?
I forgot to commit and push a file to the branch. That's it. Wasted the equivalent of a day.
The holidays can't come soon enough. 🥹

ASK A DEV!!
Since the year is near the end it's time for one of my favorite things to do, Ask A Dev!
If you have any questions, if there is something confusing you, this is a no judgement space.
Either I or another dev will answer!
Devs, please help these folks out!

PHP can do anything!
I used it at work to build a classifier based on keywords in the description. It worked really well as a production prototype.
We'll supplement the classifier with a better dataset but it will stay as a backup.

I've been mired in building machine-learning models in... PHP for the last few days.
I never thought I could pull this off, but it would appear I have a pretty accurate audience size prediction system using ridge regression on hand-collected data.
Still fiddling with it, but it's working 🤯

Dear Mutuals and Followers,
Does anyone have experience with local version control for spreadsheets? Ideally the Microsoft Excel: XLSX format?
Git would need a binary diff detection extension, I think?
