šā⬠Life
Hi friend! Howās the week going for you?
This week has been a bit weird. Not in the sense of work or anything, but in lifestyle. My covid QR code thing doesnāt work properly for some reason so I canāt leave the house without my mom lol. I also canāt spend any money and most places wonāt take cash. Iām 26 and Iām like OH DEAR I have to ask my mom to go to the gym with me and buy me a coffee. I know itās nbd but for someone who had been independent for so long, it does feel very strange. š Ah well, hopefully it gets sorted soon! Ā
On the bright side, Iāve quickly picked up a lot of the Chinese that I had forgotten over the years! Has anyone else ended up speaking a second language better than their first language? Chinese is my first language but my English is much better now - especially when it comes to professional terminology. How do you say heteroscedasticity in Chinese?Ā š¤
š„ Things I Watched
I watched another couple episodes of House of the Dragon. So what I was thinking about (trying to not spoil anything) is that if a white-haired Targaryen has a kid with a dark-haired non-Targaryen, how can the kid have white hair since it is recessive???
IDK SEEMS SUS IF YOU ASK ME
š Books
I read the book called Profit First, which is a business book aboutā¦taking profit first. Itās quite highly reviewed but I feel like I summarize 80% of it in three words lol: take profit first. Except for that itās about how to do environment design and design habits that are more catered towards human tendancies. Idk maybe because Iām already quite familiar with this topic, but I didnāt get much value from it. I also found the writing style to be very repetitive and he keeps going on tangents. Would not recommend.
š» Learning & Productivity
Ah yes Iāve been quite productive because DEADLINES lol. Nothing gives you a jolt of productivity like a deadline huh? š
šØāš» What Iām Working On
I have a video in the making and spending most of my time on Lonely Octopus! Thereās only a month left!!
š» Todayās coding challenge (technically not coding but probability)
Letās switch things up a bit today and do some probability! Donāt feel bad if you donāt know how to answer this, itās actually quite a hard question!
šŖ Make an unfair coin fair.
Head on over here to answer the question!
*Btw if youāre prepping for data science interviews or just want to keep yourself sharp, Stratascratch is a great platform with 10k+ real interview questions on SQL and python coding, probability, product sense etc. You can use my code ātinahuangā at checkout for 20% off ā¤ļø
PS: Thank you to everyone who comments and responds to the newsletters. I read every single one and REALLY appreciate them so much. Unfortunately, thereās not enough time in a day to answer everyone, but I just want to say that the stories people have shared have helped me so much.

Gday Tina, I love your work, YouTube vids and of course LonelyOctopus(i'm a sucker for cute things). You seem kinda random but have very clear purpose...kinda reminds me of heteroscedasticity hahaha. I have subscribed and will be reading/watching everything you post. Stay well. Cheers (>āæā )ā
IF hair color is defined by the law of independent assortment, it could be a couple of one parent homozygous recessive and the other one could be heterozygous. So the combination would be rryy x RrYy (not RrYy x RrYy).
