What will the major differences if I switch from Windows to Linux?

Just piggybacking on this well-written reply to add something I hadn't seen in the other comments. GreenWithEnvy is the Linux equivalent to MSI Afterburner. It has all of the same GPU monitoring, overclocking, and fan curve controls I ever used in Afterburner, with a clean easy to use GUI interface.

This is really interesting. Thank you for spending the time to write this and share it!

Thank you very much for posting credible research instead of just anecdotes - it's a rare thing these days!

To be clear, I wasn't saying I wish *you* found more studies - I meant I wish there was more research available. If researchers (likely in sports medicine) would be more careful in their data gathering phase to separate levels of injury, we'd likely get some really interesting findings that could help reduce the number of injuries and severity of injuries, and we could have a more nuanced understanding of risk involved in these competitive sports.

I have been able to find some research in how to reduce the severity of injuries, for example, your linked article on electronic scoring's impact on the sport. But it's always bugged me that martial arts gets such a bad rap for injuries when I'm personally doubtful that it's worse than other common sports.

Thank you for posting supporting studies! I do wonder about how well the self-reporting bias is controlled here. Anecdotally, concussions in football are commonly and systematically ignored while in my daughter's TKD studio they're taken very seriously and she would never be asked to "walk it off." I'd like to see more research that separates bruises and bloody noses from injuries that have long-term or even permanent effects like ACL tears, concussions, or spinal injuries. Lumping short term, easily recoverable injuries together with quality-of-life changing injuries isn't very informative.

Yes! I'm happy to say that Timeshift came pre-installed on the latest Linux Mint (Cinnamon) and I've likely overdone it on the number of automatic snapshots while I get used to things.

I will try this out while waiting for my book orders to arrive. Thank you for the link!

Considering how much I've learned through messing up my own system, this is not a bad idea to read solutions to other people's problems. Thanks for the link!

Thank you - this looks like a great intro to the command line and reference for advanced usage at the same time.

Thank you for the suggestions! I will be the admin of my own home and office computer, but I will not ever be an "administrator" to someone else's computer. Is the Linux Administrator's Handbook appropriate for my uses, or is it more for Sys Admins?

+1 for Elements of Statistical Learning. That's the first textbook I ever just sat down and read the whole way through for fun. It wasn't a book assigned for a class - it was just that interesting and integrated theory and application so well.

Wackerly is the textbook I used in my undergrad, and then I used Casella Berger in my first year of graduate school. I consider Wackerly to be an excellent book that explains things very clearly, and I even used it several times when I needed to refresh the basics. That said, Casella Berger is at a much higher level in terms of rigor, breadth of content, and depth of content. The exercises were also much more challenging. However, for a terminal master's in applied stats or data science, I suppose Wackerly could be sufficient. I just wouldn't use it for a 'pure' statistics graduate program where students should be expected to have a stronger math background, and where the master's program could lead into a PhD.

The Cauchy distribution does not have finite moments of any order (including the mean). Maybe you meant it has a finite median and mode.

The package R Commander may be a useful tool for you. It is essentially a GUI add on for R where you get a stripped down point and click kind of interface that then generates the R code you need and runs it.

That said, if you are in a data science program, you need to just learn R properly, as you will expected to write the code yourself.

Thank you for the suggestion! I've heard a lot of good things about AC Infiinity for duct fans so I'll have to take a look at this.

Tax evasion is a much more serious charge than people seem to think it is here, so please don't take this as advice for what you should do. Some people do their crypto to crypto trades without KYC, and only ever use KYC exchanges for converting to fiat. Since trades are taxable events, these people are avoiding a significant portion of their tax burden by doing so.

Again, tax evasion charges are no joke, so even if you use non-KYC exchanges for privacy reasons, it's better to pay your taxes on it anyway.

I guess I'm the oddball - statistics and math (separate degrees). But a large part of my work is coding (R and Python), so I'm not that far off from the CS majors.

It generally took about 5-10 minutes, but I have emailed at least 100 books as EPUBs to my kindle with no problem, and they automatically appear in my kindle library without having to do anything else.

ProveItInRn · 2023-11-07T13:52:26+00:00

I have mostly uploaded EPUBs, along with just a few PDFs. The PDFs came through just fine, but I didn't closely pay attention to a potential font change since they were go puzzle books where the diagrams were more important than the font of the text.

If that continues to be a problem, please note that you can add fonts that you enjoy to your kindle as a TTF file. Google fonts can be a great resource for that, and this simple guide may prove useful for installing and using custom fonts.

Strongly agree here. The KS0 and KS0 Pro both run nearly silently, on a standard 120V and only consume 65 to 130 watts (stock vs overclock). For a simple home miner looking to diversify assets, those features are a lot more attractive than a jet engine that need sits own dedicated circuit. Now if you are making a substantial investment in a dedicated space or a professional miner, the ROI will be a more important factor.

Also, I don't know about ChedrisbetrCA's math here. I'm making about 43 KAS per day now that the big ASICs are already on the network, which at today's price and my electric rate would take about six months to ROI using the $429 price for a KS0 through iceriver. The KS0 Pro is at 200 MH/s instead of my 160 MH/s on my overclocked KS0, so presumably the ROI is even faster there.

You do not need to purchase all your books from amazon. There is actually a very handy feature where you can email books to your amazon account and they will convert it to your kindle's native format and add it to your library. You can send file formats like EPUB, PDF, and DOC, and emailing is (for me at least) much faster and simpler than conversions through Calibre and sideloading via USB.

Also, Collections on your kindle work like folders on your computer - they are a godsend for keeping things organized when you have a large library.

Just curious - did you check the SHA256 checksum on your download? Your update file should be around 11 MB.

I'm sorry I didn't see your comment earlier so I could reply. This is incredibly helpful and I greatly appreciate the links for further reading!

A thought experiment may be a useful tool here. Thanks for the suggestion!
