There's value in removing negotiations to end consumer. The expectation to negotiate can introduce stress and uncertainty into an already-stressful large purchase. CarMax removes that, and captures the value in higher prices.

But it is interesting that more people don't do a quick check of Kelly Blue Book. For example BMW 328i in article at Carmax is $27k. On KBB selling to private party value is $21k-$23k. Maybe there are some special features on one in Carmax inventory but doubtless there is a markup there.
Why not abolish Title IX completely?

College students are adults, so the most serious (and possibly violent) sexual offences can be prosecuted according to criminal law, and the rest is just something two adults should be able to figure out by themselves.

Cases like the one described in the article are simply impossible to be correctly assesed by the judge or jury: too little information, and all the reasoning rules that one could apply are subjective and culture-dependent.
Entire article summarizable under “because people pay more per-unit for service equivalent to elsewhere”:

When it comes to gross profit per unit, on average, CarMax raked in $2,147 per vehicle. Lithia Motors wasn’t far behind at $2,038 while other dealer groups such as Asbury, Penske, AutoNation and Sonic had a profit range between $1,565 and $1,090. Startup Carvana only managed to average $902 per unit.

But the fact that CarMax makes is the most profitable used car retailer in the country, is mostly the direct result of buyers often paying more for cars then they could have found elsewhere with a similar “no-haggle” experience

Living in Vienna, the title had me chuckle - a common stereotype of the Viennese is beeing generally discontent and complaining about just everything, specially the state of things in Vienna and quite much all the other people living there.

So "... and other Vienna-hating Viennese" instantly sounds pretty satirical, and just the type of unexcited cynism that would qualify as "Viennese humour" as well.

May I ask how you’re managing secrets with this setup? For example, the secret key or database URL.

Our current setup deploys an env file which is sourced before starting the process. I’m less sure how this translates to a production docket deployment.
Clojure has its own very effective strategy for multi-threading, and it is not the actor model. The language is built for concurrency and much careful language design was tailor-made for the challenges on modern threaded applications. Rich Hickey investigated the actor model considerably, and decided on a different model. In the core language, you have the choice of using its normal futures/threads with highly efficient and lock-free data structures, or using core.async, which is a model like Go channels. The latter is particularly popular in the community and generally the recommended approach.

Clojurescript offered the first and still (in my opinion) best option for hot reloading via "figwheel" which nearly all Clojurescript developers use. It automatically updates the UI as you code it.

Clojure, on the server, being a proper lisp with a real REPL, lets you poke and inspect and reload parts of the running program with no recompile cycle. A typical workflow there is to reload individual expressions or functions in the context of the running program to alter behavior as you develop.

The paper may be good, but the article is poorly written:

- it suggests that it is only after the publication of this paper that people have questioned the causality relationship in the results of the original study

- it talks about reinterpretation of the original study's outputs as 'replication', whereas nowhere in the article does it suggest that anyone attempted to replicate the experiment

Is it working well? Even OP used the "but the majority of the less successful studios are stuck in this seemingly unbreakable cycle" expression. While I guess that similar dynamic can be found in successful studios, the focus here were less successful studios.

While the supply of exploitable young people is large, they leave industry after 5 years on average. I am willing to bet that they get more productive after few initial years of experience - but they leave pretty much as the benefits of it should kick in.

Then there is self-selection. Passionate dreamers are heavily over-represented in your pool. People who investigate before they do major decisions and people who based their decisions on more practical considerations underrepresented. To large extend, games are art and as such require that emotional side in their creators. However, work might be more effective when there is presence of the other type of personality - the people who will tell you openly that "feature is cool, but we should postpone it to dlc anyway".
I think you will find that as far as composability and hot code reloading, the combination of proper functional programming with a true REPL make this a powerful combination in Clojure that will at least match what you would get in a language built around actors.
Somewhat premature to conclude that this 900-person study is definitive.
For me this is the response to 'how do you build stable/scaleable/.../good web apps in 2018', but sadly not to 'favorite way of getting a web app up quickly in 2018?'.

The whole process of starting a new VM for every little project seems to me like overkill and developing components if you just want to get a prototype out the door can be difficult as the components will most likely have such a poor quality that you can't reuse them for anything else.

With that said, I am 100% pro Golang Server + Vue.js UI when it comes to building something which will be definitely more than a prototype (no shortcuts taken).
It works by toggling a GPIO pin on and off. This results in a square wave carrier signal, which means you get an infinite stack of odd harmonics - 3f, 5f etc. This means you're not just transmitting on the frequency you meant to, but on every odd multiple of that frequency (with correspondingly decreasing amplitude of 1/3, 1/5 etc) all the way up the entire spectrum.

It's very easy to accidentally clobber something like that. The only reason regulators haven't come down like a ton of bricks is the amplitude on PiFM is really too small to be very harmful - you're unlikely to mess up anything beyond the range of your own home, maybe your neighbors. If someone with a little knowledge tried to hook it up to an amplifier however, they're gonna have a bad time real darn quick...
If the client does not not care, why suffer by using something that is worse for you? I mean, you might as well use something that you like.

I don't get the logic here.

Another thing is that, if it it worse for you, it is automatically worse for the client. I am not sure why it is so hard to see. if your tool is bad, then your work ll suffer, and thus the client. So it is worse for them also..
I've been hovering in intermediate/mid-level jobs, around 60-70k/year, the chance at 90k + 10% of the company and to be a manager of other devs, was tempting to at least take a chance. -- Time's run out though. I've told my boss if I'm not paid this week, I'm going public and running sending his name/company name to the state attorney general (Utah), I'm contacting the FTC, as well as cc processor, and attorney general on behalf of the client as well (it's MLM so already somewhat shady in my book.).

I used to do SEO before becoming a dev full-time in 2012, I can make it so no other developer ever works for this guy again.

My hope while it'll feel good to get revenge, is that I truly save other devs from going through this...it's one of the most horrible things I've ever experienced professionally.

Big fan of Isaacson's Benjamin Franklin biography, but also did not enjoy his Jobs one. The most interesting part of the story was when Jobs returned to Apple and executed perfectly on everything. It seemed that he'd learned some very important lessons and had undergone quite the transformation. The book doesn't hint at what he'd learned; it just recounts things happening really well. It left so many unanswered questions, and didn't even notice they were there to be explored.
* The Egyptian border is closed since the Egyptian army took control of the country. They hate Hamas more than anything. They have no love for Israel. Israel never asked them to close the border. What is your "not a chance" based on? Egypt blamed Hamas for terror attacks inside Egypt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_positions_on_the...)

* My stories are anecdotal, but my work for the past year has almost 100% to do with Gaza and it's internals conflict. I wish I could say more but I can't, and by the way, I can't because it would put my Gazan friends in risk of being hurt by Hamas. I'm sure it doesn't represent the majority, but you have to remember what's possible to say and what's impossible to say in Gaza. It was about two years ago when thousands of youth in Gaza wanted to organize a protest against Hamas. They FB event went crazy. Hamas broadcasted a very simple slide on all TV channels saying that everyone who'll be out on the street in the time of the protest will be immediately shot. The whole thing was canceled. So yeah, the voices against Hamas are much harder to be heard, but they are there and I believe that it's not only my stories who show them, but everyone who'll you have an honest (and unfortunately, fully encrypted) conversation with will tell you the same.

* I never said Gazans like Israel. They hate it. They also hate America, the Palestinian Authorities, etc'. So what? My note was only that the Human Rights issues in Gaza have only so much to do with Israel.

* I agree that Israel helped bringing Hamas into power. That doesn't change the fact that Hamas are no less of oppressors towards their own people. They abuse them, they care nothing for their lives, they're a bunch of gangsters willing the destroy all of Gaza just so they'll stay in power. Yes, Israel has to do with it, and not a little. But Hamas was chosen democratically.

Again, I've led so many campaigns and protests against Israel's governments and policies over the past years. I'm so far from agreeing with them on anything. But I care for Gazans a lot, and since I started hearing them, I learned that their day-to-day problems are at 90% of the cases things like corruption, women rights, inability to gather, abuse, and internal Stasi-like issues.

You think companies like Google and Amazon don't buy from the same cheapest deal manufacturers?

At the very beginning of my career in 2008, I worked in a trade agency in Singapore, where I was an exchange student. Once, we came upon a client who was bragging to be the sourcing company working for all big named Co's around, Amazon and Google included. We were doing a very simple thing for them - getting USB ac/dc converters.

At first, we were truly surprised why such a "serious company" is not up to the task to do this trivial thing by themselves. The catch was they were demanding price just below $1 for a unit, packaged....

We found one miserable factory in SZ that was ready to do it for 87 cents, sans packaging.

On our request if they do get an idea what this involves, the client said yes.

Not only they went forward with that, they continued to fight for the price, and turned to thing as ridiculous as demanding use of cardboard PCB, shaving microns of plastic from the casing there and there, and, the most ridiculous, demanding "use two cheap diodes instead of this beefy one."

Two years later, I heard people were reporting that half of people buying Google Nexus were the lucky receivers of this usb charger batch.

Writing web servers in Go is extremely easy. https://golang.org/doc/articles/wiki/

Cross-compiling with Go is done by setting two environment variables. That's it. This is not like the mess of C++ cross-compiling. In LiteIDE it is simply a matter of choosing Linux from a drop-down: https://www.wut.de/pics/screenshot/e-505ww-07-pide-000.png

SFTP is not exactly hard. Nor is `nohup ./server &`.

From 5 on I agree though - is that 4 build systems? Insanity. I would just make a static web page with normal HTML forms or whatever and Go templates. If you really need client-side Javascript, I'd just use jQuery, or something similar and lightweight like minifiedjs.
> perhaps you could elaborate on your reasons why your feelings are mixed after the process

My feelings are mostly that $50,000 is a lot of money, no matter how one slices it.

> but it's not an urban legend, it's real legal advice I heard from real lawyers.

What I was trying unsuccessfully to convey is that what a company might do as a legal tactic is not necessarily a legal necessity. I was a shitty law student before I dropped out of it, but I did learn that taking advice from people in a bar, or from Uncle Frank who heard it from TV, or HN for that matter, is a chancy business.

I generally agree that it is always worth knowing that lawyers specialise and that it's no crime to ask for a specialist.

Because it's closely related to research on the genetic basis of intelligence. Poor research on these topics in the past have been used to justify rather egregious social policies (eugenics, birth control, racial discrimination, etc). Even if it is heritable, making the knowledge public can only lead to a sense of fatalism.

I may not be able to change their business practices, but I can make it so they lose more money than they owe me through lost business deals with other people. I can also make it much harder for them to hire developers in the future.

I found the following post [1] to make a very compelling argument that the Marshmallow test isn't really testing for the ability to defer gratification, but for a "generalised ability/desire to take and pass tests" (manifesting itself here as the desire to pass the Marshmallow test). The post argues that this is an underrecognised character trait which can predict success in today's Western test-oriented world. Certainly I personally possess this trait in spades, and my personal history is full of instances where this trait was extremely useful to me.

Assuming the trait is either heritable or culturally imbued (and intuitively it seems very likely that at least one of those is true), it makes sense that rich parents are more likely to have children who are either natively or culturally high in The Desire To Pass Tests: indeed, our society heavily rewards people who have TDTPT, so rich parents are more likely to be high in TDTPT and therefore are more likely to have genetically or culturally passed it to their children.

It's a by-hand recoding of a C decompilation of the original game's binary. Using C++ -- or any abstraction that departs from the original code or memory structure -- would actually have made the process more difficult, at least initially. And given that the project was started using MSVC in 2009, C99 would not have been an option at the time.

The history shows the level of dedication that must have been needed. E.g.:

With these kinds of things, I wonder how well we can extrapolate marshmallows to anything else in life.
I've come across variations of this conclusion many times now: That it is really your parents affluence and educational background that predicts your success in school and how much you will earn in the future. This is often portrayed as being unjust. To me it always seemed obvious that children with affluent and well educated parents are more likely to be intelligent, have good self-control and other traits that are useful for being successful, simply because those traits are hereditary.

>A big aspect of what I'm wondering is about automatically setting something up for keeping local/production environments in sync, quickly deploying to production, and not having to mess with a bunch of server configuration things, user accounts, security, etc.

Auto is sync doesn't really happen but its a matter of clicking "pack all" on local web2py and then "upload" on the one on the server.

On the minus side it doesn't have that many users.
