Some parts are difficult to go in. I just put together a shelving unit with a threaded metal piece to be hammered in. It had four spikes rather than nails so it took a lot of force. Tapping wasn't going to do it.
You have to have it on a flat padded surface as well. Put it on a hardwood floor and any slight movement is going to scratch it somewhere. Have it too padded and firm hammering may break the piece.
Me as well, this makes me wonder what kind of insurance TaskRabbit provides. Presumably if the assembler you payed for wrecks a piece by scratching it or whatnot, they would cover it.
You seem to think I was defending the cloud solution; I think that is stupid as well. The correct way to archive tapes is either in your own datacenter, or pay an offisite storage company with a vault to do it. All tapes should be inventoried and tracked.
The fact that management let you take the tapes home instead of having an offsite storage solution probably means you don't speak for any large enterprises.
Is the Kirby bagless? If not, no thanks, I'll never buy a vacuum with a bag again. Also, I can go to walmart and get a dyson but what the hell would I have to do to locate a second-hand 20-year-old kirby?
So I can buy a reliable vacuum for $400 or I can buy one equally as reliable for $1200? I'll take $400. Also, an additional factor in the dyson vacuum is that the pieces fit and click together very nicely. Easy to pull the handle out into a hose, etc. I know many people with old Dysons that simply are not dying.
That's why many families don't move apart. Even in the nomadic age you mentioned previously, families moved together. Humans did this because it was safest and made sense. Moving apart from your family to make more money is a fairly recent trend, like highly processed food.
Was python your job? Then put it under your job. Python wasn't your job, so you shouldn't be putting it there. It's that simple. I guess I can see how some people have such an easy time landing a job though. I'm just going to go through an alphabetical list of languages now and make a script in each one, and I can claim I know every language on my resume.
Honestly, I think the other more senior people in my group grew concerned that I could do something they couldn't. I was a relative newcomer at the time.
Personally I couldn't consider that enough to put 'python' on my resume, because I had hacked my way through one script. That's what I meant by stretching the truth.
The same thing happened to me. I was configuring middleware, and some of the fields had javascript. There was a problem that required changing the javascript. It didn't seem that difficult to me so I changed it and tested it, everything worked fine. Well they ran up one side of me and down the other for doing something that apparently wasn't my job.
Well, I guess if you think online video chat is a substitute for actually doing things together I can understand how you think you didn't give anything up.
Cost of vehicles have not gone down since the 1970's if you adjust for inflation, and in most places house prices have gone up. Sure cars are more complex now and houses tend to be bigger but really that is a small trade-off considering both parents are usually stuck working to afford these things. Since those are the two biggest expenses most families will face, not sure there is anything else to talk about. Sure, some types of technology is cheaper now but that's really a drop in the bucket. Not sure where you are seeing prices coming down due to automation.
The right place to live is where the job is. Our ancestors followed the food out of Africa. Grandpa went where the CCC said there was work. If you plant your feet and whine there aren't any jobs it's not the job's problem, it's yours.
Spoken like a raving sociopath that hasn't felt a real connection to anyone, ever.
So you worked in some places that allowed you to work on side projects. Good for you. For every one of those places there are ten companies that want you to stick to your *actual job*.
Ultimately the number of people attracted to STEM will reflect the ease of obtaining sizable and life long opportunities in the STEM field, regardless of what schools do. It's up to corporations to decide what they want.
You can't apply for a job with modern skill X unless you have already done modern skill X for a legitimate job. That's the trap that people get into, and open source projects and book learning usually doesn't count.
It just occurred to me that many people here think that prices and the cost of living will go down, or salaries will go up as jobs become less available. That is a ridiculous stance, no one is going to pay you an 8 hour day for working 2 hours or transfer cheaper running costs to the prices of products. That just isn't going to happen.

If I was a grandmother I wouldn't want a stranger in my house putting it together.
And now their employment standards are going down in quality as well. Ah the race to the bottom.
And I forgot encrypted.

Maybe you're lying about the skills you do have, or at least stretching the truth lots. Or you just happen to live in the right place.
Not to mention the issues with the NFL on the domestic side. True seeds for revolution in that.

Maybe he'd like to be a rocket scientist or a nuclear physicist.
