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

As part of my job, I often have to convince business folks that they don't need to buy a fucking private blockchain (from IBM of course, because they're old enough to think that no one ever got fired for buying IBM). This is very

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 stopping antidepressants

Anyone know what "triadic arguments" means in this context? Is it a typo of variadic? Some C features are still not supported by dffi (but will be in future releases): * C structures with bitfields * functions wi

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 do the one

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 caused no end of frustra

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 especially troubles

I am extremely stoked that a huge sample of 17 people have decided to upvote my comment ;-)

I think that a small sample size is mostly an indicator that one needs to treat the results with far greater caution. Effect size is very important in this. To continue your grad student murder example, it's completely trivial to dete

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 administering an fMRI is ext

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 stay sober long enough

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 of my

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 significantly longer than the NC

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 and cycle aging.

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 simple exploits

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 salary. 2 ) Assertive beha

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 existence, and take a pragma

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 every single defa

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 I'd run into the 2

Only if you're in the ALL REGULATION BAD|GOOD camp. It's more nuanced than that for most of us.

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 a weakness for

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 space, and while I

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 are a barista and a

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 getting of the ground

Unsubscribe to the default subs, subscribe to the ones that interest you. My reddit experience was more or less untouched by the election shitshow.

This seems like an extremely silly move. Reddit can broadly be partitioned into a small number of very popular "front page" subs, such as /r/TIL, /r/AskReddit, and /r/news, where drama and toxicity ab

If you're interested in working with cool tech like blockchain and AI, but are tired of startup culture, a good option might be one of the "Digital Innovation Lab" organizations that more traditional companies are putting tog
