Negotiating a cash purchase of used car from a dealer

Negotiating a used car purchase from a dealer

(assuming you are paying cash)

Preparation

  • Arm yourself with information.
    • Kelly blue book value. Helps inform what a reasonable price will be.
    • Black book value. Helps define the dealer’s bottom price, what they would acquire the car for in a trade-in.
  • Common car problems and their cost.

Caching debian package installation with docker

TLDR: I now add the following snippet to all my Dockerfiles:

# If host is running squid-deb-proxy on port 8000, populate /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30proxy
# By default, squid-deb-proxy 403s unknown sources, so apt shouldn't proxy ppa.launchpad.net
RUN route -n | awk '/^0.0.0.0/ {print $2}' > /tmp/host_ip.txt
RUN echo "HEAD /" | nc `cat /tmp/host_ip.txt` 8000 | grep squid-deb-proxy \
  && (echo "Acquire::http::Proxy \"http://$(cat /tmp/host_ip.txt):8000\";" > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30proxy) \
  && (echo "Acquire::http::Proxy::ppa.launchpad.net DIRECT;" >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30proxy) \
  || echo "No squid-deb-proxy detected on docker host"

a simple git branching model

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

Examples of RESTful API calls for E-commerce platforms

These examples are type 3 RESTful API requests and responses. The JSON-HAL specification is used to implement HATEOAS.

Some of the examples are based on my work as architect of the RESTful API at http://www.hautelook.com. All proprietary information has been removed.
