First time seeing a rare event
Suppose you’ve been monitoring a rare event for a long time, then you see your first occurrence on the Nth observation. Now what would you say about the event’s probability?
For example, suppose you’re wondering whether dogs ever have two tails. You observe thousands of dogs and never see two tails. But then you see a dog with two tails? Now what can you say about the probability of dogs having two tails? It’s certainly not zero.
We’ll first look at the case of 0 successes out of N trials then look at the case of 1 success out of N trials.

The case for Nushell
Recently, I had a chat with some of my friends about Nushell and why they stuck with traditional shells like bash/zsh or the "new" hotness like fish rather than using Nushell. After chatting with them, my brain kept bubbling away at the state of how folks were using their terminals and the end result is this blog post.
In this post, I make the case for really taking a hard look at Nushell and also for generally asking the question: "can the state of shells be improved enough to overcome the inertia of sticking to what you know?"

My Favorite Command Line Editors for Linux – What’s Your Editor?
Knowing how to edit files quickly and effectively via the command line is vital for every Linux system administrator. File edits are performed on a daily basis, whether it’s a configuration file, user file, text document, or whatever file you need to edit.
