This article was ported from my old Wordpress blog here, If you see any issues with the rendering or layout, please send me an email I have a little secret: I don’t like the terminology, notation, and style of writing in statistics. I find it unnecessarily complicated. This shows up when trying to read about Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. Take, for example, the abstract to the Markov Chain Monte Carlo article in the Encyclopedia of Biostatistics. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a techniq

Before narrowing down what could be (mathematically and astrophysically) the sources of GWs, let's consider when are GR effects most relevant? A typical quantity to look at the so-called "compactness" \(M/R\) with \(M\) mass of a source and \(R\) its linear dimension. Note that in natural units (\(G=c=1\) typically used to simplify the formalism in GR), this is a dimensionless number. For low values of \(M/R\), General Relativity reduces to Newtonian gravity – as it should being an extension of

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET After using Linux for a while, switching from one distribution to another becomes a fairly easy task.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s wide-ranging tariff hikes are already resulting in growth forecasts being cut amid an uncertain public mood — all of which will inevitably impact the technology sector, too. On Tuesday, however, one food e-commerce startup, GrubMarket, seemed impervious to these macroeconomic concerns: it announced a new equity round of $50 million on a raised valuation of over $3.5 billion — underscoring how some tech businesses are not slowing down their expansion plans despite th

ZDNET Choice is one of the greatest things about Linux. You get to choose which version of the open-source operating system you use, what desktop environment you want, how secure you want it to be, and so much more. Linux is rife with choice, and that ideal permeates the platform. Also: The 4 most Windows-like Linux distros to try because change is hard One choice is whether or not to go with a traditional release or a rolling release. So, what's a rolling release? Let me take a step back and

Statistical Formulas For Programmers By Evan Miller May 19, 2013 Being able to apply statistics is like having a secret superpower. Where most people see averages, you see confidence intervals. When someone says “7 is greater than 5”, you declare that they’re really the same. In a cacophony of noise, you hear a cry for help. Unfortunately, not enough programmers have this superpower. That’s a shame, because the application of statistics can almost always enhance the display and interpreta

Distrowatch When I first started using and writing about Linux in the late 1990s, there were just a few distributions to choose from, and even those were a bit hard to discover (unless you knew the right bulletin board or mailing list to join). I remember asking around and chatting about new distributions we'd discovered with Linux user groups -- which were actual face-to-face meetings! There was a bit of mystery to it all. But then things started to change. This underground movement was brou
