My wife did this job - "office plant watering". It really isn't as great as it sounds or looks. The pay is about what you'd expect (ie - tiny). Lugging around jugs of water, trying to find a nearby working (and accessibl

I've sometimes thought about this in terms of being in the military, or what it would take for being involved in one of the "TLAs" - so to speak. At 45+ years of age, all of those doors are permanently closed to me. I do thin

That would be a rather interesting challenge for an interview; I'd love to be able to try it someday. I recently did something similar, that was of my own devising. At one point several years back I wrote down some "code" in

What you're kinda describing is something that the "godfather" (if you will) of Deep Learning, Geoffrey Hinton, also has suspicions about. https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Geoffrey-Hinton-suspicious-of-b... Basic

I love this part of the system req's (from the stylegan repo): "One or more high-end NVIDIA GPUs with at least 11GB of DRAM. We recommend NVIDIA DGX-1 with 8 Tesla V100 GPUs." I'm sure my wife will understand why I took

I'm not sure what it is today - I would hope the same mindset applies, but maybe not - but back when I was using SQL, the idea was to let the database engine do everything it could with the data, before sending the results over the pip

I was fortunate that my early SE career experience involved a lot of SQL (and my first experience with a SQL-like query language happened under PICK). But as my career has gone forward, I'm touching it less and less; today, I hardly to

My suggestion - for the future of course - save up an "FU" fund - 6 months of your current salary (gross or net is up to you). Having such a thing available makes these kinds of decisions more bearable (not easier - just bearable)

Hey - thanks for explaining that to me; I was under a different impression of how it worked, and your explanation has really cleared things up. Now I know a bit more!

Another small tidbit: IBM standardized a terminal screen size of 80 columns because that was the same width as a standard format IBM punched card. In theory you could show two cards on one screen (height was 24 or 25 rows, usually) - but I
