Pro-tip: do an "experiment" with blockchain (built in house to keep it cheap) so they can tell their golf buddies they're looking into it. Make sure it's compared to a sane solution, because then they can feel superior…
Having been addicted to prescription pills, and currently being prescribed (and presumably dependent on) antidepressants, I think there are a few points that make the distinction abundantly clear: 1. When I consider…
> I may take you up on that offer when I can muster up the courage. Thank you. Please do - it's always a pleasure to help someone out of a bad situation that I've been in. And remember, fear is a prison without walls -…
You sure you're not me? I got into coding seriously in college after I started to take adderall to help study, and ended up making a career of it. I was absolutely terrified of quitting, because I felt like I couldn't…
Hey they finally fixed the issue with SecureRandom using OpenSSL instead of the OS CSPRNG implementation! I worked for a company a few years ago that made security software, with Ruby as a primary language, and this…
I'm with you 100% that this is silly, show-off-y code golf at its worst. The fact that its purporting to generate something a bit sensitive (why else would you use the awkward `crypto.getRandomValues` interface?) is…
I am extremely stoked that a huge sample of 17 people have decided to upvote my comment ;-)
17 subjects per group is extremely small. Looking at it either from a machine learning or statistical point of view, using such a small sample is problematic. This is the chronic issue with fMRI studies, since…
I got massively addicted to drugs and alcohol in college. Flunked out and bounced around through various stages of homelessness and unemployment, putting my programming skills to use to score a few bucks when I could…
TL;DR; tooling is improving rapidly, and while this AI boom will someday end, we'll be left with tools to incorporate the things that do work in our everyday work. Working for a "digital innovation lab" where a big part…
Thermal regulation is the most important difference, followed by low depth of discharge. There are also some (rather weak) reports that if you take the individual 18650 cells out of a tesla battery they last…
I've recently had to become pretty familiar with this subject for work, and your comment is only partially correct. Li-Ion battery degradation is generally modeled as two (roughly additive) components, called calendar…
Video games, especially competitive ones, do this to limit the effect of randomness on the outcome of the game, while still keeping the sequence of random events unpredictable enough to "feel" random and preventing…
So refuse it. Tax documents are private.
1 ) Banning past salary inquiries allows more rapid increases in salary, thus accelerating a trend induced by other factors of a shrinking gender gap. This is also why you should always refuse to reveal your past…
People have been dealing with problems like this for thousands of years. The solution, developed in almost every culture, has been some form of spiritual practice. I view spirituality as the technology of human…
Story time: I was playing with the kaggle lending club dataset and getting really high accuracy (high 90s) predicting default with an out of the box sklearn model. Just for fun I ran it through LIME and discovered that…
Basically this. I was going to contrast a couple of (heavily anonymized) employees we just hired - a smart but inexperienced twenty something and a smart and very experienced 40 something, when I just remembered that…
That sounds really awful. You've followed the recipe, gotten the killer career, the fat stacks, and the hot wife, and there you are, still miserable. Please try your best not to read this as being condescending - I have…
Working remotely killed my mental health. Even with Slack, Hangouts, and all the rest, I became lonely, had difficulty focusing on work, and generally became significantly less happy and productive. I tried a coworking…
I think you made the right choice. I live in Madison and have some friends and coworkers who work or have worked for Epic. The burnout is epic (pun definitely intended). I think the only ones who really like their jobs…
I joined the lab after it had been up and running for about 6 months, so I'm not sure what setting one up looks like. However, I can tell you that probably the most important thing we had going for us in terms of…
Looks like they already do that according to the FAQ.

If it's as easy and reliable as it is with Postgres (and I'd suspect it is), the answer is in my experience yes.
