There are some no haggle dealerships though I don't know how common they are. I bought my last Honda from one.

Honestly though. If you can detach the financing ("Got the cash. Nope. Not interested in talking monthly payments.") and trade-in ("If you don't give me X, I'll just donate it.") whether or not either of those things are true. Then look up the dealer cost on Edmund's or whatever. Add $500 and tell them to take it or leave it.

It's still a bit of a hassle and you may not totally optimize your purchase but there need be very little actual haggling involved.

The issue with your suggestion BTW is that manufacturers probably couldn't sell to them because doing so would violate their contracts with existing dealers.
Were you expecting the same keywords for the same things in a different language? The original Rust designers had a goal to have all keywords be under 5 characters in length to try and make the language as small as possible. I do not think that this is an issue. But to each his own, I guess.
Trump literally CANNOT make Congress do anything. It's up to them to limit their power. And it's not like Trump has a popular mandate to use to his advantage. Mitch McConnell himself said infrastructure and term limits were absolutely not a priority of this congress. This is completely out of Trump's little hands.

But go ahead, keep living in your made up dream world where Trump can wave his scepter and make all those nice little promises he made come true.
One thing fundamentally broken on xiaomi phones is GCM. So if you are not whatsapp or Facebook (they have pre configured exceptions) and you need push notifications, you have no options. You can't even have a persistent connection because your app is killed whenever. The user needs to specifically turn off restrictions for your app which do not persist across updates. Users don't really understand all that so your app is "broken" for them.

The FCC has stated that the RP-SMA connector (the connector used on nearly all wifi routers that have detachable antennas) shouldn't be allowed on part 15 devices, but also that it will delay enforcement of this indefinitely[1]. So even the FCC is fairly "meh" on enforcing this unless actual interference is reported.

If you don't mind me asking... What? The tracking of Trump or the things being tracked?
I disagree, I feel its very relevant
I was curious about this post as I've come across a couple such cases in my own experience, though my interactions with them were not so deep.

One thing we need to develop is the strength to not care about what the other person might think of you and confront such behaviour head on. In the best case, you'd be doing the candidate (and the industry) a favour if they realize and transform to be better. In the worst case, you haven't wasted anyone's time or energy. So we have to pick up a "I don't care if you call me a *&^%, but.." kind of attitude with this.

In one interview of a "certified" candidate, I'd realized that the candidate had discussed an answer to a question with one of the earlier candidates, but knew so little that answers to two different questions were mixed up. When I realized that, I told the candidate point blank that this wasn't acceptable and that I wasn't willing to continue with the interview and may the candidate please leave immediately. (I'm not describing it in detail enough to convince readers here, but the evidence of false competence claim was aplenty.)

So in the case of "Bryan", I read it as a lost opportunity for transformation.
We could provide a device -- say, in a nice friendly shape like a cat -- that can read these codes and open up the relevant text on their PC or iPad or whatever! What could possibly go wrong?

Every now and then, it seems a thread of luddism creeps through the geek psyche - and here we see it again. For all the benefits being talked up by the authors and the posters here, a few things are being overlooked:

* Paper isn't searchable. Say whatever you want about how it lets you clear your mind, but what use is all this information you're taking down if you can't easily locate it later?

* Paper media doesn't have adblock. If you want to talk about distraction...

* Paper media can't be reformatted to make the fine print less fine, or to fix an awful font choice or layout, etc.

* Paper is a pain to handle. Any serious amount of writing is going to require desks, filing cabinets, and so forth, more physical stuff to organize other physical stuff, when an entire lifetime of plaintext notes could fit on a MicroSD card of modest capacity.

* Paper isn't safe. The aforementioned MicroSD card can be trivially backed up an indefinite number of times and rendered immune to fire, theft, kids, angry exes, acts of God, acts of Cthulu, and pets. And not to mention, encryption. While you can, technically, RSA encrypt your paperwork by hand[1], it's almost certainly not an efficient use of your time.

I've no doubt that these hard copy systems work for the people that say it works, but I can't help but imagine there's a certain irrational rejection of technology happening, borne out of a refusal to leave the comfort zone when even something ridiculously easy like Simplenote or Notational Velocity would provide actual efficiency gains.

Our bearded forefathers wrote C because assembly had some issues. They still compile to assembly.

Haskell compiled to C for the longest time (and quite a few other compilers use that trick). That didn't make Haskell a bandaid around C, did it?

Yes it does. I can caution a friend that's been spending his unemployment sitting around watching tv, or caution a stranger on the internet for trusting the promises of a populist politician. I'm not being condescending to either, but i am worried for both.

I would hardly call it a pain, it takes me all of 3 minutes to write a .spec for most python packages and from there it's basically 'tito release'. Sure, if I wanted to package for debian-based distributions it'd take a little more time, but it's worth it to make a quality package that a distribution itself can decide to pick up (packagers love other people doing the work for them, though they won't refuse doing it themselves) with minimal effort.
In no limit, if you lose a hand you have fewer chips, which changes the applicable strategy. There is no version of no limit where every hand is played with the same number of chips.

It is akin to only playing the first 10 moves of a chess game, then resetting.

Municipal governments can just set up the same system and undercut Uber with public subsidies. Uber has nothing special. People will happily install a new app if it means saving money.
First off all, the meaning is equivalent and this sentence is completely unnecessary. Repeating your intents in sequential lines doesn't add meaning.

"The first order of business will be" is a placeholder used in speech, to me it has the equivalent meaning of "Uhm, I will be". Care to elaborate further on what you think the special emphasis of this phrase is in this context?

>Congratulations!

Not to edit your style bro, but the condescension is a bit much. Seems like you have just soured on editors due to some bad personal experiences. Editing is suppose to be a two way conversation in which the editor marks up all possible errors and you accept the changes that you think add clarity or just rewrite it yourself knowing that your previous version was unclear to at least 1 person.

That said, I don't really see the grey area in this case.

Well I'm not an employer, but I would probably hire the person that can fit to the schedule that I prefer. Different companies have different needs - some prefer a team that spans an entire day, some prefer everyone to be online at the same time. That really is up to the employer.

My argument was totally not against remote work, and I agree with all the points against open-plan offices. However, changing the time you go to bed and wake up is so trivially simple that it just made the author seem obstructive.
It is not always about "not liking going to bed" at a certain time. Sleep is not something everybody can easily control. Not giving the body sleep when it asks for it can easily become a health risk.

It seems to be default when you count governments and businesses. Those have lasted decades even when they didn't want individual records to on occasion. Whereas, the current systems use individual components that break faster with huge damage loss per square inch provided through services that charge you & try to cause lock-in more over time. The competition for those services is also intense in a way that often results in firms going under with a few surviving.

Whereas, the older tech that lasted so long used simple components on older, process nodes with careful engineering practices. The better ones were also extremely costly with Voyager being a good example at $800+ million.
I mostly agree with you, but the side project can be a huge factor in differentiation between candidates, either at the resume or interview stage.

My rules for the ideal portfolio ready side project:

1. It is "complete". Not just started but something that actually works. This means that a side project needs to be something which you can actually finish. No matter how great your code looks, it will be outweighed by code that works.

2. The problem it can solve can be described in 10 seconds.

3. The interviewer will not be able to sketch it out in their mind in under a minute. While the problem solved may actually be quite simple to implement, it is best if it's just outside the interviewer's knowledge.

Actually publishing a usable library, even something trivial, provides great separation at the resume level and gives you something specific to discuss in the interview.

The easiest examples I could think of would be a library that does some math. Odds are the interviewer doesn't know how to do trig functions on a sphere, but it is something easy to look up and implement. You can describe it quickly. No amount of time will help them figure it out. Some people's eyes will just glaze over and they'll assume you're really smart (don't go into too much detail on these guys, show them your communication skills instead).

With the usual method of declaring a function, it was easy to understand that 'x' was local to the function. Adding a second, more concise way to express functions led to confusion about the scope of 'x'.

Also, declaring types for the function and arguments (which is optional but has been strongly recommended since the Fortran '77 era) had to be done outside of the function, which again is unlike the usual syntax.

The only code I've ever seen statement functions used in dated from the 1970s.

Readable JavaScript or not might not make a difference in the long run, but it sure helps adoption when a single person on a team can start using Bucklescript without having the pure JavaScripters hate her for it (or even having to know she's not writing her js by hand).
I was asked the impossible, to write a complex piece of software with no ability to test it and it had to work first time without defects, and I had no specification, no one to talk to about it and no idea what hardware it would even run on. There is the impossible and then there is just the "are you even serious" type of impossible, they were serious although I still think its funny because its obvious insane to spin up a team of hundreds of engineers on that basis but that is what they did!

The moment passed because I chose to leave. I took the easy route to solving the problem for me, but its still costing people billions.
> - Expert in MySQL

That crap gets me especially. Look, there are zero candidates who can truly claim to be a "MySQL expert" applying for your CRUD dev job, because all of the people who can truly claim that are making more money doing just that and not having to worry about the other junk in your requirements list.
"Paper" used to mean endless soul-destroying reams of office printout, or before that, typed memos. And thank goodness, that seems to be receding.

The new "paper" isn't really the same thing. Like handwriting, woodblock printing, and the making of books from hand-inked parchment, it is receding into a handicraft.
I've had a subscription to three physical magazines for many years now; for two of them, it's been for 20 years. I've also kept all of those issues (ugh).

Recently, though, for one of the magazines I decided to get the CD version with PDFs (Servo Magazine); for the other two, it would be impossible to do this - Servo Magazine hasn't been out as long, and so it was easy to "catch up".
Energy Dept. rejects Trump’s request to name climate-change workers, who remain worried:

House Republicans revive obscure rule that allows them to slash the pay of individual federal workers to $1:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/house...

Both have been extensively reported and are well-understood. In the interest of fairness that Trump and his cronies do not deserve, they claimed significantly after-the-fact that the former request for the names climate workers was "not authorized." This is a lie, and a bad one, and the truly damning thing is that they think--perhaps even correctly--that the lie will be taken by their listeners. "Alternative facts" (hat-tip to Trump's mouthpiece Conway for that gem) are the measure of the autocrat: make the people doubt everything to exhaust them, to instill the notion that there is no truth, and to prevent them from focusing on what you are actually doing. It provides cover when suspicions are actually aroused by something you are doing to fade away, and then it is as if it never was.
> It refuses to acknowledge that there are people out there who are less productive when working remotely

What? Direct quote from the piece:

"In the case of working from home/remote work, some employees do not do their best work from home, or simply don’t like it. That is fine."

That looks like an explicit acknowledgement to me.

It's not just difficult, it's a bad idea for you. If you know your company will be successful enough to give you your paycheck for the entire duration you stay there (10-15yrs seems like a reasonable maximum), then you should actively defend the status quo. Why make such investments, stick your neck out, and assume extra risk when you're not going to see the payoff?

This is my theory for why so many companies have outdated business models.
I've been bitten by this problem too... but the "fix" sounds like allowing anybody to push code, so in the end, the repository remained private!
This is very interesting and it looks useful - thanks for posting this!
Wow, my system is just like yours. The key is the daily review and transcription to a digital format (in my case, a big textfile with a rigid date format for everything, Google Calendar for appointments, Habitica for TODOs).

Like bullet journaling, the review ensures that I actually see what I've written. The searchable digital copy can be hugely helpful later. It also adds the possibility of recording daily metrics to be parsed and made into charts.

It's truly the best of both worlds: paper to record, digital to archive.

(I'm about to hit 50 Field Notes in just under five years of doing this. I plan to do a write-up of my system now that I have a pretty good idea of what does and does not work for me.)
Are you disagreeing with my comment? Or stating that I should have included additional points in my comment?

In any case I think I understand your comment, that in addition to the control problem, there's a perception problem.
I think it is more interesting for companies if you contribute in open source projects relevant for your future jobs rather to single-person side projects. It means several things: you can join a team working in a project, you know how tools like git work and how make a pull request, you have experience with something you might use in your future job and you can collaborate with others.

If it has to be a single-person project, then it only has some value if you released it and people is using it.
Wow, don't know where to begin...
1. this article seems to be aimed at startups, but the author then goes on to complain about having to work 8-5 ( good hours for a startup).
2. "Let the bad actors fail" I've met very few people who are actually trying to game the system, the vast majority of people perceived as "Bad actors" need managements help to align their goals and values with that of the business.
3. The title implies this is an issue of trust, where as it seems that it's more about preference and fit. Some software engineering problems lend themselves more to an in-person environment than not. For instance, when I was working on an oil sensing project, All I did was write software but I had to have the hardware close for testing my software. They sure aren't going to let me drag 20k worth of equipment home in my honda.
4. ROWE, how do you measure the output of knowledge workers especially programmers? If anyone figures it out write a book you will make a bajillion dollars.
I agree with both of you. Netflix has the best UX, but that UI is still terrible! I personally would love to see a competitor with a catalog similar to Netflix come out and actually create a good UI.

Once you have a path to follow, classical control theory can be used to control the steering angle to follow it.

But classical control theory hasn't been able to extract, from camera pixels, the open path in a road with cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. Camera inputs are million-dimensional, and there aren't accurate theoretical models for them.

Firstly, the sentence you quoted, while unfortunately ambiguous, is correct if you take "of which" as picking up "assumptions" instead of "results". That is, the assumptions, of which a famous one is AC, have counterintuitive consequences, of which the original poster does not give an example but Banach–Tarski is a commonly cited one.

Secondly, the axiom of choice may be independent of ZF (depending on whether ZF is consistent) but it is certainly not independent of ZFC :).
I think you're misinterpreting the mass market. Yes if you're into watches you know Patek. How many people are into watches? Even the people who can afford to buy Pateks aren't necessarily into watches. I know nobody who would know them.

On the other hand, Rolex is literally one of the most recognised and reputable brands in the world. There are companies which track this stuff, and every study ranks them within top 100 in the world for brand equity, recognition, reputation, etc among general consumers. Just with a cursory look now, I see one study from 2014 which ranks them second in the world, only behind Disney:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/arieladams/2014/04/14/why-rolex-...

Don't forget, they sponsor a lot of stuff. You can't watch sports without seeing their logo everywhere. As I said, people wouldn't recognise a Rolex watch...but the brand, yeah.

I'd be extremely surprised if 90% of people in a bank in Switzerland don't know of the brand Rolex.
