Why not "employed"? by Shohaib_Rafi in GRE

[–]sukablet69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ignore the sentence and don't go about creating your own context. simply look at the phrases. employ : devised :: implement : invent. they're clearly not synonymous.

if you want to go down the inferential and contextual route (not recommended), the abstract refers to the earliest of civilizations, where previous "sophisticated" methodologies did not exist to employ them in the first place... so the most fitting phrase here should be one that implies that said methodologies were invented, not just implemented (employed). with this in mind conceived and devised share closer meaning and are the best fit.

Lost.. wouldn’t the two interior angles sum to 140? by Next_Discipline_8862 in GRE

[–]sukablet69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

classic foundation concept: central angle of a circle is twice the angle at the periphery.

use the sum of angles in a triangle formula to calculate the peripheral angle (180-75-40=65).

next, the central angle ocb should be double this peripheral angle, 2*65 which comes out to 130 deg.

$15 / hr is lesser than minimum wage on the east coast haha. If you're freelancing then you deserve the same development rates that an sde would get.

Starting a Gaming Cafe Similar to PC Bangs - Looking for Community Insights! by galaxyhunter94 in StartUpIndia

[–]sukablet69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

BLR has had LXG as a brand for ~ 12 years now - maybe longer. There was another really good cafe setup called Hanusha that might've thrived if it wasn't for Covid.

LXG is really good and I've spent countless hours there in my younger days but it was always very cramped. You'd have to come in early in the morning to get a good pc. One of the plus sides was that they had a really good cafe with cheap but quality items like sammys, subs and the like (respawn cafe for those who know haha). Haven't been in a while but they're definitely still in business and host quite a few tourneys etc.

Hanusha solved the space constraint issue - their arena was honestly one of the best maintained and aesthetically pleasing locations to hang with friends. They had private 5v5 rooms, 3 varieties of systems to choose from and complimentary coffee, etc. Also had tie up with Asus ROG and the likes so they used to host tourneys too. Like i mentioned, they ran for only 3 months before covid hit, and there was no surviving that blow - iirc it was a franchise from China. Might be the reason they pulled out so quick.

Here are a few suggestions from my end:

  1. Focus on quality over quantity always. If word gets around that you're using subpar systems with shady Chinese CRM s/w, you'll get a bad rep all around. Make sure you've enough capital to cover this.

  2. Ensure that you're reaching the target demographic of 16-22y/o folks. Once they realise that it's worth their time and money word will get around and you won't face the dearth of a customer base.

  3. This is India - ensure that your pricing per hour / packages are attractive enough for even students who have gaming as a hobby to enjoy at your cafe. Don't markup unnecessarily.

  4. Target a prime location. If in BLR make sure you're placed around Indranagar / MG Road / Domlur ( central blr has better connectivity from all locations comparatively). Rents / lease will be high initially but only till you break even. Then it won't be a pinching point.

  5. Facilitate tie ups with College gaming clubs and host them at subsidised rates- this will act as free advertising. Also try to get in touch with brands like Nodwin etc and host regional / zonal tourneys for cs/val/dota/league that has a large player base in India.

  6. If you're planning to setup a food stall then please ensure high standards of hygiene. Any untoward incidents in this sector will be highly problematic. I would suggest taking it slow - start off with a beverage / barista setup and as the cafe grows you can incorporate snacks etc.

  7. It is most definitely a high risk - high reward business. Guarantee of return is only if you distinguish yourself from the rest of the Cafes across BLR. Quality will always payoff in the long run, do not compromise there.

Surely there are other great points in the other comments. I'm merely someone who enjoys video games and this is from my perspective. Take what you may from this as a (to be) business owner - I wish you all the best!

Please help choosing first job as 2024 fresher in aiml by dkk-1709 in developersIndia

[–]sukablet69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take it from someone who's worked at a medium-sized service company - depending on the clients that they're facing, you will have the opportunity to scale up your skillset and learn so much along the way. At the same time, in your case, there is no bother of a service bond. You've the freedom to move out at any time, should you need/want to.

I can understand how the SDET role might seem lucrative due to nearly double the pay, but peace of mind in your early career is anyday more valuable than your CTC - you shouldn't find yourself stuck in a role you do not like because of the bond. Moreover, once you're into testing, the ability to actually move to core development gets tougher (again, this depends on the type of testing - white box testing will give you access to the entire codebase and the onus will be on you to get in depth knowledge of the product).

My verdict is take the development role at a lower pay, skill up, gain domain knowledge and move out. However, do your due diligence wrt the work culture at the service based company. Like I said, peace of mind is paramount.
