I have plenty of colleagues with their master's degree - some went back to get a math related degree for actuarial roles, and some finished exams and just wanted more money when they switched companies (already employed as actuaries). The latter usually focus on data related degrees as the market aggressively hunts for folks who can pass new technical skills/knowledge onto their team of juniors.

If you can swing the master's degree with your personal tolerance for debt, I think it's a viable option. However, I'd aggressively study for exam P and FM to get at least one passed by the middle of fall semester so you'll be ready to apply for summer internships. If you snag one, you may be able to work part time during your final 2 semesters if you prove yourself valuable enough.

Also, a huge topic in actuarial science is proving you met regulatory standards, and I presume you're very familiar with git and/or other VCS, which can be a useful skill (include on your resume).

Actuary of 3.5 years - entry level is also tough in this field. If you have no exams passed, you'll probably need at least 2 to be considered for an opening. Your CS degree may count at some places but not others, although I've seen more openings accept them these days so the trend is in your favor. If you started studying hardcore now, I'd expect you to pass 2 exams by next spring. If you're interested in the field, I'd recommend trying to also apply to actuarial internships since nearly all are well paid, include room and board, and lead to employment opportunities.

I'd hope mint but it's probably Ubuntu

Is your CVT vehicle a Honda? I know Nissan CVTs have had their issues but the Toyota ones have a fixed/real first gear before they switch to the CVT to give you that reliable start from 0 mph/kph.

FAQ page has your exact question answered - saved you one click from the link above. Clearly a lot of effort has been put into the site because online spaces we've enjoyed can't be enjoyed any further even if we were interested in maintaining them ourselves as volunteers.

I love that aggressive splay on a unibody - my split keeb.io cepstrum moves around on me on different table surfaces so I'm considering a unibody design

That's their playbook. But honestly I think anyone who plays with WSL will either get a taste and begin learning/transitioning to Linux or device to stick with their "safe" windows machine

I mean the alternative was a liver transplant, and I have no idea how an infant liver transplant would even work. The only way doctors and researchers were ethically going to be able to treat someone with CRISPR is exactly this kind of situation

Sometimes a flashlight just isn't enough. The Flying Sun 1000 drone system was designed with that fact in mind, as it uses 288 airborne LEDs to light up the night like the alien mothership from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Nice! I was lucky to have extra drives when I switched to Linux on my PC, haven't done it on a laptop yet. Do you just back up all your data to an external SSD/HD beforehand or go the partition route?

Yeah, said I had to buy a tpm module for my mobo to upgrade to win11. My steam deck works so well running arch based Linux I searched "gaming arch Linux" in DuckDuckGo and installed CachyOS. Easier and cleaner than installing windows 10 when I built my PC and the constant updates are awesome (they also offer long term support LTS builds). Highly recommend, I have an Nvidia 2070 Super and CachyOS has been a great upgrade from Windows 10.

Trying to justify an even bigger hank light order: how do you like the size? I'm already set on buying the DW4K and might order a couple of these to complement my surprise favorite light the DW4

Agreed, just frustrating that they wait until their corpo donors are done signing checks for a big election year. Would've been a huge game changer years ago when Dems were in control and perhaps would've proven everyday Americans support progressive policies

 

Donald Trump waving at Americans flipping him off with the text "I'm banning paper straws" above his waving hand and the text "FUCK YOU TURTLE KILLER" on the Americans Bender from Futurama holding a turtle and pointing at a crowd while shouting "No one insults the turtles"

 

Recently switched from windows 10 to Debian 12.5 bookworm since I have a unique setup (Nvidia 2070S GPU, 2 1080p monitors, Dell Canvas, and TV) and the default inclusion of Nvidia proprietary drivers and years of Wacom support have made everything workable (nearly out of the box!).

However, touch still isn't great. It works well in Xournal++ and decently in Krita, but struggles everywhere else as a mouse input.

I'm considering hopping to Pop OS! once a stable version of their much anticipated COSMIC DE launches since I love the upgrades over GNOME.

Anybody running a pen display similar to the Dell Canvas on Pop OS! that can speak to it's support for pen and touch input?

 

What do y'all think? Does switching to Linux as an entire corporation mean RedHat? Or could it be done on a distro like Debian?

 

Howdy!

I have a keeb.io cepstrum split board that I'd like to travel with when I head into the office. Anybody have good experiences with a carrying case they could recommend? My cepstrum is 8 inches / 20.5 cm by 4.5 inches / 11 cm for reference.

 

If I could flip a switch and change this one aspect of modern life, I'd be willing to re-learn all my old reading/writing habits. It just makes more sense to "build" ideas upward.

 

Can anybody with experience in fabrication reveal more about this? Very exciting ideas, but hoping to learn more in real-world context

 

My last post

I recently posted looking for help diagnosing my D4K which all of a sudden stopped outputting anything from the main emitters. After trying all the suggested troubleshooting steps, I decided I'd just have to talk to Hank himself and see if he'd send me a boost driver for free so I could attempt to replace it with some soldering advice from YouTube.

I was already saving up for a DW4 as my next light, but with the sale I had to jump on an M44 too. I emailed Hank after placing my order, and he quickly responded that the solder job would be difficult, and he'd include a brand new head for my D4K with my order!

With all the rave reviews about Hank's customer service I thought he'd do me a solid with the driver, but I did not expect basically an entire new light!

Now the hard part is deciding what to order next. . .

 

Hi all,

I've had my cyan D4K Hanklight for only a few months (ordered in April) and I can't seem to get my main emitters to turn back on? I had the light on while cable managing my PC and all of a sudden it turned off. I didn't touch the switch, it just cut off.I checked the cell first which runs fine in my K1 and was at 60% capacity. I've tried these 2 factory reset methods:

  1. 13H (I held for 5 seconds), and
  2. disconnect tail cap, hold switch, reconnect tail cap, release after 4 seconds.

Neither appear to do anything. The auxillary LEDs are still running in low mode, but I can't seem to change them with the usual 7C for mode and 7H for color.

Is there any possibility my dedomed 519A emitters are still alive and kicking? Or should I just order a "domed" normal version?

Thanks for reading!
