Lasagna were tasty last week!
“When the underlying measurements are normally distributed, you can “convert” a range measurement into an estimate for the standard deviation” using the D2 constant. As always, Rick Wicklin wrote a very interesting article for those involved in QC or dealing with small samples. See also On using flexible distributions to fit data for another interesting story.
Some estimators provide reasonable estimates even when there are correlations among observations, but estimates of uncertainties of estimates can be badly affected by correlations. — What Does a Statistical Method Assume?.
I have almost two years of backup data for my home directory, thanks to kopia. It works great, it runs smoothly and doesn’t harm the RAM or disk, and it wakes up nicely when the laptop returns from idle.

TIL about Faircamp which looks amazing.
I recently switch from MC 1.19.4 with Forge and Optifine to MC 1.20.4 with Iris and Sodium. Now I got a lot more mods available with less frictions overall. And it looks like we can now play MC on a laptop with texture packs and shaders all time long.
It’s probably time to stop building on 1.19.4 I guess, and just start a new survival journey.
