Username checks out. Agreed, make is great and this seems like a reinvention (or rediscovering?) of it. Bazel is another good tool if something with more magic is needed

It would be great if we could end this arms race of bigger and bigger cars - they're less efficient, worse for pedestrians (bad sight lines and likeliness of injury if hit), take up more space and most of all - completely unnecessary in most cases!

Moka Pot is the way imo - thick, rich tasting coffee that can be used like espresso (in a latte or Americano, etc...) made by a simple and easy to clean device.

this is a great way to store structured data in js since it saves the memory cost having repeated keys. e.g.:

  records = {
    time: [1000, 1001],
    price: [20, 25],
    volume: [50, 15]  
  }

  records = [
      { time: 1000, price: 20, volume: 50 },
      { time: 1001, price: 25, volume: 15 }
  ]
  // not a big difference with 2 records, but for xxxx records...

I think Learjet brand name has strong connotations with old tech and early days of private GA jets. Also, there is lots of competition at this size of a/c from newer/more modern designs (Pilatus PC-24, Embraer Phenom, Cessna Citation variants) and a very limited buyer pool

Thanks for posting - this is really helpful (reminds me of this similar NYT tool: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/buy-rent-cal...)

A few notes:

- "Final Cumulative Profit" is a bit confusing since this is not necessarily profit - this is how much less of a cost a house is over an apartment?

- Is there a way to factor in opportunity cost of down payment being in the market instead of tied up in the house?

This sparked my memory of using "var self = this;" and "var _this = this;" Can't put my finger on it, but _this_ seems quite funny looking back on it (not to say it didn't work...)

have you looked at real estate prices, healthcare, education - inflation and money supply changes do not impact every asset at the same time and by the same amount

I used to be quite active on Quora, but have noticed a decline in content and ux quality - seems like they are trying to 'growth hack' in a way that is not benefiting users, e.g.:

- Links to other questions open in new tabs

- Most content is not shown unless you login, they are really trying to push being logged in and their mobile app

- Answers with images seem to be ranked higher (even if poor quality)

- Clickbait-y questions and answers

I hope they can return to quality since in the beginning it was such a great resource - it was awesome to be able to get answers from domain experts, celebrities, etc... and the site was very usable.

Why should it be valued on a revenue multiple similar to a tech company? Tesla has gross margins more similar to other auto manufacturers.
