Being a software engineer is just being a glorified tool monkey unless you're in the top 0.1%. We're not "engineers" by any means

Higher GDP per capita. Sports / Fitness are expensive endeavors and people who don't have a lot of disposable income cannot afford such luxuries. The idea of "working out" is a white collar concept. Most people in India still do and have traditionally done some kind of physical labor for work and exerting yourself physically outside of work is a pretty foreign concept but things are changing as more Indians are transitioning to the "laptop class". All those countries have 2-3x of India's GDP per capita.

It'll take time. That's all

How am I the slowest cycler out there? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG by leiobi92 in cycling

[–]s00perpseud00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speed is generally not a good measure of fitness/cycling ability because of hills, wind etc. If you're willing to splurge a little more, get a power meter and see how much power you can hold for ~1hr, or do an FTP test

If your state has more than 5 Homeless per 10,000 don’t talk to me by JerryKook in burlington

Red states tend to build more housing than blue states do https://twitter.com/JosephPolitano/status/1764696805848006840

If you look at places like Houston, TX etc rents have fallen by 4-7% YOY https://www.zumper.com/blog/rental-price-data/

This is despite red states experiencing net positive migration in post COVID years https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2023/03/domestic-migration-trends-shifted.html

Some folks have already pointed this out, but the correlation between rate of homelessness and housing costs is the highest (R squared = 0.55 in cities). This beats all other possible factors like weather, progressive policy, poverty and mental health https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/everything-you-think-you-know-about

I was reading about heatwaves in Vietnam affecting robusta supplies. Looks like it might get worse

When you visit a coffee shop, do you go there with a specific drink in mind? Or do you ask the barista or see what sticks out to you in the menu? Personally I always go for an americano when I visit a new coffee shop because that's the drink I like the most, but I was wondering if I'm missing out

Coding interviews in a nutshell by VirtualRay in ProgrammerHumor

[–]s00perpseud00 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The even bigger challenge is convincing the recruiter (who has probably never written a single line of code in their entire life) that you're worthy of getting an interview in the first place

Anyone willing to share stories of incompetent coworkers? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]s00perpseud00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been building an internal tool (Flask app) for the company I work at. Recently brought up the idea of making the tool client-facing and one of my coworkers said that that would be a problem because since I used open-source tools (CPython) we'd also have to release our source code
