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 :)
