Sure, but the risk of getting injured is higher on a construction site.

The majority of OSHA regulations out there are meant to protect people in the trades. Let's not romanticise things: white collar workers have it easy when it comes to toils on the body. If you get injured, you can probably take a few days off, work from home, heal properly.

In the trades, you pop some Ibuprofen and suck it up. Sit out injured too long and you're out of a job, unless you happen to win some workman's comp lottery.

In addition, lots of risks with sedentary behavior are preventable: eat well, take frequent breaks, go for a walk after dinner, etc.

Granted, they shouldn't go to the media until they've done their own test.

What I’ve long wondered is how women react in the real world now that they have all the power on dating apps. Why would they try to find a date in any other way?

There were a few articles that came out a few years ago arguing that, no, dating apps were terrible for women because it makes men even more noncommittal with such easy access to dates. My hypothesis was that the women they interviewed for those pieces were all going after the same small group of elite men. Thus, ~3% of the whole male population is sleeping around with ~20% of the female population. Makes me wonder if polygamy is the natural course of things.
I understand that sentiment, but for the overwhelming majority of poor questions the "if you really want to do that anyway" isn't useful to OP - they're clearly confused and looking for something else. In those cases, it's not worth your or the question asker's time to write an extended answer (especially if that goes from trivial to complex, overengineered, and esoteric). The StackOverflow community refers to these as XY questions.

Of course there are cases in favor of both sides here or there. If you have reasons to go the esoteric route, then you should simply explain why. If you're browsing from the internet, you have to understand you're reading a conversation between two individuals, catered to the question-asker and not the rest of the universe.

>>>So you assume that in the west, seduced by free market economics, rent control is coming back?

Not really; but I also don't think UBI is likely to happen in any real way without pretty drastic societal changes. In a world where UBI is close to being implemented I think rent control is too.

>>>Why do you think the state is trying to force independent, semi regulated economic entities to perform a social welfare outcome?

I don't think the state forces that, I think people force that, by being unwilling to have their taxes go towards "those lazy poor people".

I think once society changes for the better, UBI might solve some of the remaining problems. But no, I don't think UBI would fix everything that's currently broken.

Going to college might not be financially rewarding for many, but neither are trades. I worked in the construction trades for about two years before switching to engineering, and later software. In retrospect, switching careers paid off several fold. As a white male, without having served in the military, I could not get into the carpenters union, not without losing a couple years waiting in line. So my only option were small time contractors, remodels and the like. Poor pay, no benefits, underemployment, long daily commute. The worst part for me was the very slow learning rate. There was no training. I had to steal the knowledge, in the fake it till you make it fashion. I wouldn't get to do new tasks otherwise. I found engineering (civil) and software development very much in the spirit of craftsmanship. I still think of myself as a tradesman, just without all the crap surrounding manual trades in the US.
Uh. Maybe I'm then the exception that makes the rule... Four years now together and it just gets better every year. I may just have been very lucky.
When I ran across this a couple years ago, I transferred this to the IBM PC (which was my first computer) over a serial cable (I still have Telix installed) from a Windows XP desktop since it also had a serial port, and use Hyperterminal to transmit the file. And in order to get it to that computer I had to put it on a USB drive.

It was pretty cool seeing it run. That PC was what I used from 1987-1993 and it was mostly obsolete during that time but I tried to get everything I could out of it. There was nothing that approached what this demo was able to do graphically. (There were a lot of cool music programs even for the PC speaker back then though.) Although, I get a memory parity error partway through the demo because I don't have the full 640k due to some bad memory chips on the memory expansion card.

It helps that they designed it for composite output, since I no longer have a CGA monitor, but you can still hook it up to TVs.

This went into effect Jan 1 2018. Two important provisions applying to all employers in California.
-employers or agents cannot ask about salary history
-employers must provide a payscale for position upon reasonable request from job applicants

I've been in the job market lately, and I've been seeing mixed reactions in terms of the second one. Some companies willingly disclose the range, others demur until "later in the process". My guess is that the law wasn't sufficiently clear what payscale and reasonable request mean, so companies aren't changing their policies en masse quite yet. Was curious what other readers from here have been seeing.

Docker Image: Swift for TensorFlow REPL
I've created a Docker image to allow users on any OS to easily play around with Swift for TensorFlow without worrying about interfering with any existing Swift/Xcode installations or worrying about dependencies.

You can drop into the Swift + TensorFlow REPL with the following single command, provided you've got docker installed:

docker run --privileged --cap-add sys_ptrace -it --rm zachgrayio/swift-tensorflow-repl

From here, you can begin entering swift code and import and use TensorFlow! There's usage guides in the official repo, as well as in the dockerfile repo - it's here if you're curious: https://github.com/zachgrayio/swift-tensorflow-repl

I know there's a lot of people who loved their AirPort Extremes but there is one reason that this made my day: with the discontinuation of Apple routers that used NAT-PNP (0.01% market share), it means UPNP port mapping (99.9% market share) is now universal. That means for any app that needs to accept inbound connections, the arcana of port mapping just got smaller by an order of magnitude.

"A players hire A players," he said. "B players hire C players. Do you get it?"

Apparently not. Somebody in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, "so how do you hire more B players?"

> Which is a pity, because I thought SO is a place where you can ask questions on obscure features of the tools we're using.

You can, as long as you're clear on why you need these obscure features. So there's nuance... if someone asks "hi, I want to call `add` like `add(10, 20, 30)` and it's not working" and the answer is "Use `10 + 20 + 30` instead!", they're answering the intent of the question. They've totally not answered the original question (I want to call add) but OP is probably misguided.

It'd totally be fair to say "Oh, declare a function with 3 params and return the sum, or even make a function with variable arguments, then enumerate over each of them, summing into an accumulator. You can also do this as a functional reduction. In fact, you can use the mapreduce framework to do this, and here's how to create an adder circuit" - Every tidbit of the above is just... overkill.

I totally empathize with you - it sucks to google "how to do X given good reasons Y Z" only to find a question "how to do X given terrible reasons A B" that's answered by "don't do X"! I think the way that's respectful of others' time is to ask another question and clarify why you truly need X.

If you've taught a multidisciplinary class, you'll have faced people who truly are confused - EE students who want to understand, for example, "how do I declare a 20 bit integer in C for this program that's running on Windows?"...

I can comment on this from the "other side" since I have discussed this on meta.

The problem is that answering questions which are borderline low quality/too specific, etc or need imorovement before it can be answered are usually frowned upon because it encourages the asker to ask more low quality questions.

The abuse you got is not OK though. If I comment at all on such questions it is always polite.

What I think is also a big oroblem is closing questions as duplicates which are not duplicates.

As with every system I think the incentives are the culprit so I expect SO to improve on this soon. They should be able to since they have all the data to do so

These aren’t just arbitrary “social norms” though. Cost of accidentally getting pregnant and child bearing is very high and it simply does not exist for men.
Oh, I absolutely agree with building more housing (and office and retail space, etc) and less roads and parking in the city. But that does not eliminate the commute. You have to live in a really small town and/or be very lucky with jobs to not have a noticeable commute. Of course, if you can do that commute on foot, bike or public transit that's better for everyone.
But isn’t that sort of the issue? If you make assumptions about overall code quality, you’ll probably let smaller stylistic things slide because “this is a good coder.” I think about this in terms of some of the more contentious project (think bitcoin, this would be great for removing some of the personality clashes there).

If that 2x price/performance scales for all of Google's inferencing then it is definitely not a loss for them. If they can halve their running costs for inferencing then they are saving themselves a ton of money. Their TPUv2 was announced slightly before the V100 and the money savings they make by not paying Nvidia premiums probably helps.
From the customer point of view, what is a GPU other than a specialised accelerator. Without more details we can't know how a TPU really compares, but if your aim is to train/run inference of Tensorflow models, then they're a really competitive product at the moment.
My point was that making EV vehicles that aren't susbstandard in their features (interior materials) and sell at a good price wasn't profitable. Batteries+Motors were too costly. Tesla managed as their fanboys would buy costly cars of substandard quality.

Now you'll see that dozens of electric cars will roll out in 2018-2022. But you'll come out and tell me that Tesla showed these guys that electric cars were possible.

Ever wonder why Nissan leaf always had a small range and wasn't "fun" to drive? because batteries and motors are costly.

Microsoft Earnings Release FY18 Q3
I usually don't care about the delivery time (although it is very nice when you're on a trip), the big thing is I used to wait until I had enough things to buy that I would qualify for no additional cost shipping, and with prime for most things, that's not needed. So if there's a nice movie on sale for $3, I don't spend a bunch more money to get the deal.
>First, construction in general is a pretty up and down industry. Construction booms don't last forever, and in general you need to 'follow the work'. This is great if you are young, single, and willing to chase the high paying jobs. Not so great if you have a strong desire to stay in one spot.

This is worse in software engineering. You are probably in the bay area or some other tech city, but for all the people who live outside of those areas, they have to either move to them or get paid a ridiculously low wage relative to their work.

Here in Australia, only those people who want to work in the mines have to go anywhere. All the other trades can not only live wherever they want, they don't have to live near the city. Programmers have to live close to the city and pay the extra in housing because all of the jobs are in the city.

>Second, trade jobs are usually pretty tough on the body. After a couple decades of work your body begins to break down, assuming there are no workplace injuries to put you out of commission sooner.

Sitting is worse for your body than most trades. Some trades may be really tough, but the majority are not. Programmers generally look completely out of shape. You talk about "after a few decades", well, I wonder if you have met any older office workers? I work with people in their late 30s and early 40s who have done nothing but office work. Just the other day, we were walking up a large group of stairs to go to a conference and they were all going on about their knees and groaning on pain. I suspect you are confusing people just getting old who don't really look after their body, with a specific effect of a type of job.

>Third, workplace conditions are on average undesirable. Outdoors in the heat/cold, or indoors in tight spaces or high places. It's tough sell over companies that glorify bean bag chairs, nap pods, and free beer on hand.

This sounds like someone who just hates the outdoors. I have worked in both types of jobs and I absolutely hate being in an air-conditioned office. I hate unnatural air and the lack of sunlight. I also hate beer, and bean bag chairs are terrible for your body. Nap pods, jesus.

>Fourth, there's a social stigma around trade skill jobs.
This does seem kind of true, but I see people in trades with much prettier girlfriends than most programmers due to the better shape they are in both mentally and physically, and the fact that money is all that counts. Trades outside of tech cities get paid the same or more as programmers.

>All of these observations are based off my fathers experience as union based pipe fitter/welder for >30 years.
Exactly.
I think I fall between the two extremes of the parent and grandparent comments.

I think there are at least 10 gigafactory scale battery plants in the process of being built, so that's a positive sign.

I also believe that EV batteries will benefit the grid with basically no added infrastructure. Let someone sign up for a special tariff that gives them cheap power at certain times and let the computer in the car decide when to start charging. Already happening today with dynamic info from the net on carbon intensity predictions.

Finally, overproduction of solar and wind are not problems in themselves, nor are negative prices a problem. People repeatedly stating they are a problem is a bigger problem for renewable energy than the so-called problem.

As you correctly go on to imply they are an opportunity for storage and demand response but the bottom line is that wasting energy is not s problem as long as the costs (financial and environmental) when divided over the energy that is used, is lower than the next best alternative.

Most effects worked really well with that card surprisingly. Kefrens bars started halfway through the screen for some reason but otherwise were fine too.
> First step is to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself `do` you find yourself physically attractive? Do you have good posture, Do you have a low 10%-16% body fat percentage? Are you dressed to impress or just dress just it over with?

I've had exactly none of those things and I have had a fair degree of success with women. In fact, when I started bodybuilding/lifting, I found that my sex drive became unbearably strong and would scare away many women due to how aggressive I had become.

The key is not trying too hard and becoming a good conversationalist/wordsmith. That's what I like to call the right hand path. Of course, there is also the left hand path as well. That involves using pharmaceutical agents such as nootropics like Phenibut or GABA PAMs like Etizolam, but the cost is possible addiction, so I wouldn't recommend it.
