And this is the I don't even know how many'th time someone responds with "They don't get enough money" - How many VCs just flat out lose on an investment? Getting a couple times their money back would probably be ju

Exit seems to imply the "get rich quick" scenarios of a buyout or IPO. I'm saying an alternative exists: Make money running a business the old fashioned way. The last company I was a part of had a similar level of investment,

Alternative: A profitable, privately held business. Those are "exits", but you can also run a real business instead of running away with your bag of gold as soon as is possible.

When did I conflate the two? For that matter, how do you measure "popularity" of a piece of software? You could just as well say a piece of software is popular because everyone knows and loves it or because everyone uses it and ha

Well, I'm sure on a site about RDBMSes, you're gonna get some skewed results. In the wild, MySQL sees higher use than PostgreSQL. That said, as an old coworker would say, MySQL is the PHP of RDBMSes. Ubiquitous, gets the job don

It's surprisingly easy for this to be the case. I'm not particularly great with my salary, entirely because I don't have any pressures. I'm in my early 20s, near the 6-figure threshold and it's easy to fuckup. You t

I honestly wonder if people just refuse to accept their lot in life (and try to improve it) or if they're just bad with money. I'm moving and just sold a TV on Craigslist (relatively new, 50" Samsung) and I kid you not, someo

Solution: Only a candidate can pay for ads, campaigning, and the like. There is a campaign contribution cap reasonably low as your average citizen could reach it. None of these BS PACs, none of this "I'll make a large donation if

I think part of that might be the crowds you hang with. I would expect petty vandalism more from blue collar types than I would engineers and other professional types.

Not for nothing, but my old office overlooked the Port of Charleston in good ol' South Carolina. There were an awful lot of BMW X5s being shipped out of that port on a daily basis. To underscore that, my German professor, a former VP a

To pick on Java is my point of contention. Every runtime has warts, If I did some digging I could find issues with any other environment. It just seems like folks pick on Java disproportionately. That might just be the HN echo chamber, but

I seriously don't understand the "I hate Java" meme. My job and hobby languages are all JVM, front-end notwithstanding, but I cannot get a firm grasp on where the hate is coming from. This is about as sensible as me saying &q

If you are in my fucking lap, it is my personal space. They don't have a fucking right to sit in my space and cause me suffering for a price tag. It is not stealing you fucking dense jackass.

The idea that someone gets to invade my personal space is rather selfish and not a valid option. If I don't want you imposing on me, then I will make sure that damn well doesn't happen.

Actually, I'm pretty tall. It is at the least awkward, if not very uncomfortable for someone to recline. It depends on the plane, but those interstate mosquitoes you get on flights between small cities are the absolute worst. I know it
