What hurts the most is almost more than 2 million students have to appear again. All the trauma and stress all over again :(

I like to think of it as a magical checklist, it helps us to quickly check if something _might_ be there, without actually looking through everything.

A few non-exhaustive real world use-cases that come to mind:

- Databases: To quickly check if a record might exist before doing a costly disk lookup.

- Spell Checkers: To check if a word might be in the dictionary.

- Spam Filters: To check if an email sender is on a list of known spammers.

- Browser Security: Chrome uses Bloom filters to check if a site might be malicious.

- Password Checker: To check if a password is known to be leaked.

- Web Caches: To check if a URL or resource is definitely not in the cache.

- Distributed Systems: To avoid sending data that another system definitely doesn’t need.

>> VSCode mounts a full-scale invasion

I love to read articles that have a bit of humour(no offence to VScode people); somehow, it seems one can connect more with the writer.

Thank you, kind stranger on the internet. You made me smile when I most needed it :)

YouTube/Gmail/etc etc and everything that the government is tracking. FWIW, they are tracking our internet with all sorts of fancy technology. I think probably what I meant to ask is:

What do you use to by-pass censorship ?

If this is the current condition, what alternatives are there that you may suggest apart from; `Don't use it!`

I started exactly like this. I wanted to get more and more points as soon as possible; You would ask why ?

I wanted to appear smarter than I actually am :(

One of the reasons was to fill the void of me not being able to socialize. Eventually as time progressed, I stopped caring about these fictitious karma points and use this place to improve my self.

I think it is not bad to want more karma, IMHO, the thing that matters is how does one gets there.

This may not be something that helps you immediately, but I feel, if you stick around enough; karma will follow :)

Good Luck!
