Yes, whenever feasible, the donor is still on life support and the organs are removed before the body dies, ideally in close proximity to the recipient. I used to work with the eye harvesting team all the time when I was a surgical tech. A

It was a change that Firebase implemented that went into effect about a month ago. Check this out and the look at the "Old Export Schema" at the bottom. The export schema went from multiple events per record to one event per recor

Did you all work together with the Firebase team on the recent schema change? We're scrambling to mitigate the ~2x cost increase that caused for us, since it blew our analytics budget out of the water.

Slack is the epicenter of all manner of communication problems where I work, and sadly, we have not yet figured out how to solve the problems. We have no remote employees, yet the 30 of us, who all sit right near each other, spend all day S

I'm reminded of this Agile Bits blog post about "curing" themselves of Slack. https://blog.agilebits.com/2016/04/19/curing-our-slack-addic...

Check out the work that Local Projects (NYC) did for the Cooper Hewitt Museum. One component of their installation involves museum visitors standing in front of a screen and a computer searching for art that matches their pose. http:/

As the father of two girls, I relate to all of this. I'm sure you've heard this 1000 times, but they grow up fast, so enjoy they time you get with your daughter.

I've had consistent trouble getting Godot to play in debug/development mode on a Mac with an external monitor attached. As much as I want to use it, that's a non-starter for me.

The first thing I tried was pull to refresh on the linked page, but it does not appear to be implemented there.

This is great and would be even better if it included the official adopted guidance from the working groups. For example, this is a very useful document: http://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/article29/item-detail.cfm?item_

Working with nonprofits can be very rewarding. I do ~15 hrs/week volunteer nonprofit data analysis and dev work. However, working with nonprofits can also be extraordinarily frustrating, so make sure you have the tolerance and communic

Metabase is great but try as I might, I cannot get it to connect to a Postgres database over SSL. So... I'm using Redash instead, where it was easier to make that happen.

I'm keen to try Godot. The only thing I'd like to see soon or at least on the roadmap is Switch support. Other open source toolkits, like Monogame, have included it. I believe Love2D also supports it now, or at least has a partner

We use Google Cloud and I'm really pleased with it. The team often adds useful new features and are pretty accessible through support. Perhaps most importantly right now, they're working hard to put in place to help people manage

What we are seeing is that the ad providers are considering themselves "controllers" under the GDPR and the tracking of device ad identifiers as critical to their business. Hence, their plan is to inform of the collection via a pr

Yep, I’ve used MS SQL products and I write C# sometimes and read and write code to parse it very often because it is the primary language of the products I support.

There are two "poles" in data science: math/modeling and backend/data-wrangling. Most of the time, the backend/data-wrangling piece is a prerequisite to the math/modeling. The vast majority of small and medium

It does. There are Lua and Love2D extensions. I use Atom when working with Love2D, however. The tooling there is better. BTW, there’s a great short Love2D course on Udemy. https://www.udemy.com/lua-love/
