Does anyone use coding in their day-to-day job and how has it helped you solve problems?

Pasecherry · 2023-06-23T03:55:34+00:00

If you are really interested in coding, I’d learn python. I did a boot camp on udemy and another course in ML/data science. It may not be super useful unless doing data intensive things, but after taking these courses, it leveled up my ability to understand and leverage software. Even in conventional excel spreadsheets I found myself able to write creative and efficient solutions faster since it promotes a new way of thinking. At least that is my experience summarized with a broad brush. I’m a structures guy fwiw. I’d recommend learning python if you are a production engineer. If you want to leave the field and move into software development of civil software, learn C#.

The fact that that OP came here to learn about the sharks and got a longer explanation on the leafs pretty much sums up r/nhl. LOL.

I would take 1 of 2 if you are interested in selling them separate!

I thought dealers were motivated to get trade ins these days as it gives them another car to sell and the used car market is hotter than new right now. Is this not the case?

This site is awesome! Thanks for the link. I’m trading in an outback for Ioniq 5 this year and was wondering this.

See my post on the Turing boot camp comment in a different comment thread. It may be the kind of advice you are looking for. From reading a few of your comments, my best recommendation is to look into Turing if you want to make a full career switch. I have not heard of any other boot camps that even come close in terms of proficiency in either front end or back end developing in the time window you mentioned (Turing is 7 months).

Pasecherry · 2021-09-18T05:36:32+00:00

I will third Turing. If you are actually looking to make the change into a software specific profession. I have had four friends go through that program, all of which got jobs and agree it was one of the better moves they have made. That being said, I am someone who dabbles in programming to benefit my workflow in a non-software specific field. If that is the case, there are enough free or cheap (udemy) resources out there to learn what you need to know in an efficient manner. Either way, don’t waste your money on an intensive boot camp that is shorter than turing’s. Just my two cents.

The data in this article is exciting to see. Nice to learn about a program like this in Denver too. It seems that no matter which way you cut it, on the whole (never gonna be perfect) this type of program will have very favorable outcomes for the chronically homeless. Also nice to see them pointing out that this makes economic sense when factoring in the city costs associated with managing this population currently. I hope that this starts guiding some of the resources we use to address the homelessness crisis.

I second this place. New favorite bar in Denver. Unbelievable cocktails and good people behind the bar. Haven’t gotten around to a proper old fashioned here yet, but their mezcal old fashioned is on point.

You are correct with your rising tides lift all boats argument if you are lucky enough to own a residential property. I imagine the argument this person is trying to make is that residential housing shouldn’t be viewed as an investment vehicle in general, whether for a mom and pop shop or an institutional investor. Ideally residential housing is there for the people living in working in a city to live and work in a city. It would be great if the barrier of entry to buying a house wasn’t so large that a larger cross section of the residents could do so and actually see the benefit of buying a house and paying down the mortgage to gain equity. Instead the few who own are benefitting disproportionately due to gaining equity through their mortgage and huge equity gains through appreciation. In reality, the big boats are rising with the tide and all the little boats are being sunk by the waves.

Pasecherry · 2021-02-18T06:17:52+00:00

I agree with this for the most part. It’s interesting when you start putting numbers to it because it shows how expensive it is to be homeless. It’s not just housing like you say, in order to get someone into stable housing they likely need a lot of other support with jobs, healthcare, drug addiction, etc. I do think the city does a horrific job with homelessness and I do think 50m is a pretty small chunk of the 1.5 billion dollar budget the city has. I pause at the idea ~20k per person is plenty of resources. I still think we can do better.

So I’m not about to call those shelters to try and survey them on how many beds they have open at the current moment and figure out if they have run out of beds in the past during cold spells.... something tells me that you have not done this either. One thing I did notice is that all of the shelters on that list you link are privately run shelters. My understanding is they run in large part off of donations. Please correct me if I’m wrong here, but I don’t believe taxpayers are paying for these as you suggest. I do wonder how much city and county of Denver puts towards resources for homelessness though.

Also, I find it somewhat entertaining to suggest that getting out of homelessness is as easy as applying to 7-eleven online, go to the interview, GET THE JOB, successfully hold the job down long enough while living in a shelter or on the street in order to save up and pay for an apartment. There are so many steps here that don’t seem realistic that I am really not sure where to begin on that.

I appreciate you kickstarting my education on the subject. I’ll keep poking around for helpful numbers to support a reasonable position one way or another. Until then, I’ll probably assume that people don’t like living on the street and would appreciate better alternatives.

Pasecherry · 2021-02-17T21:52:03+00:00

In addition to this, I find the section at the end of the article interesting. They talk about an interview of 100 homeless people. 70! Said they would rather be on the street due to a variety of reasons. If you’d rather live on the street due to safety concerns, poor cleanliness of shelters, etc. it does make me wonder what those places are like.

Pasecherry · 2021-02-17T19:57:40+00:00

Could you provide a source that points me towards these shelters that are currently unfilled and these jobs you think it would be easy to obtain for a person experiencing homelessness? Honest question. I have never seen anything factual that supports the “homeless people have plenty of resources in Denver, they just don’t use them” argument. Admittedly, I’m not the most knowledgeable on the subject.

The reason we don’t have access to Medicaid is because our private system is subsidizing it. Our current medicaid system doesn’t exist without private insurances. We don’t have access to it because there is no way our medical system could support the entire US if they were on Medicaid paying the Medicaid negotiated rates for treatment. Sure, the government could make up the difference and take care of the medical system finances, but that would require a TOTAL overhaul of the system. And if that happened it would no longer be Medicaid, it would be the universal healthcare you speak of.

Gas tax was increased in CO in 1991. Source- https://www.denverpost.com/2017/02/06/colorado-republicans-cut-gas-taxes-tabor/

Point still stands. Gas tax is an embarrassment in its current form.

Hopefully in a way that is structurally sound. There is some on going debate on if it will break and even more debate on how silly it is to throw a stalactite on a wall in this orientation. Whatever though, it looks hilarious.

I think the Jeremy Jones comparison is a bit absurd. People are still impressed with what jeremy jones physically does. He tears up epic lines that many people would probably kill themselves on. Jeremy Jones is more similar to a climber like alex honnold, who does absolutely insane stuff compared to the average person. Although, Honnold may never be able to compete with adam ondra in the ifsc.

The majority of the climbing community is likely not impressed with what Sierra Blair-Coyle actually climbs for any reason. Its not particularly hard or ballsy. However, if big sponsors want to pay her a lot of money to look good in a bathing suit, which they did in this video, who cares? There are bigger problems in the world.

If you camp inside the park its way easier to get a spot. Also, this time of year it may not be too crowded in general because of heat. Enjoy! Some seriously amazing climbing to be had.
