If you take a look at the "Ask HN: Passive Income?" posts of the past you'll see a few people who crack 5 digit monthly recurring profits on small, niche SaaS businesses, and who have automated it quite well: The guy who buil

It's discouraging when you look at the standard deviation though. The Eastern countries have disparingly low turnout. Edit: USA numbers are artificially low, because they don't account for felons and the incarcerated population (o

I think a lot of anti-immigrant sentiment can explain the strong political push to varying western members' desire to break out of the EU. People are rightly concerned about the break up of an important institution. However, ever since

I decided to build a robust zero copy network lib for linux. It includes packet injection as well as capture. I'm leaving it here for anyone that's interested in hacking around with it.

Because you might make it big? Seriously though, I just left Seattle after 7 years to move to Madison, WI, for a very interesting opportunity to work on some cool virtualization and orchestration tech. My current company is great, but it&#x

It is interesting that the most successful founders of companies are almost always domain experts in their field, or, at least, have spent time in the trenches of their domain. Bezos, Zuckerberg, Gates, Ellison, Page, and Brin all studied C

What happens in a preemption? An OS would have to manage this on a per-process level to ensure that a lock doesn't stick around on a preemption. Now the OS has to remember locking info per-process. Also, on resumption of a process, an

I received an application from a guy that was getting back into programming after not working for many years. We brought him in because his resume was very interesting. He worked for IBM in the mid 1970s and he started working for MSFT in t

Not to be "that guy", but can someone explain to me what about this architecture is Forth specific? I would have thought that as a stack based language that most architectures would align pretty closely with its primitive commands

No, I didn't mean you, I meant the person asking the question. It's a similar situation because the guy above assumed ianopolous was just complaining and didn't have any skin in the game.

That has to feel pretty good. This reminds me of the cpercival exchange way back when. It's funny to see people set themselves up like that in this community. Hello! A good chunk of the users of this site build stuff for a living and f

These articles are so zero sum. Increased economic activity in one geographical area might be one of the most text book cases on non-zero-sum growth. Why compare yourself to something else? I guess there's a bit of a competition for ta

The "Yes and No" answer by MalcolmDiggs makes good points, and I want to add to the "Yes". There has been a lot of effort around front-end design patterns that makes Web Development a lot easier. There will always be roo

That Sartre quote is incredibly ironic. Sartre turned down the Noble prize. His point was that signing with the affectation was in bad faith.

I mean average compounded over 20 years, including inflation. Seriously, look it up. Almost no fund or person has done it. Everyone who has is a billionaire that you've probably heard of (Buffet, Soros, et al).

Vanguard, VFINX. Keep it simple stupid. Study after study has shown how atrocious human beings are at actively managing an investment strategy. You can, literally, count on two hands the number of people who have consistently beaten the S&a

Well I don't know that it's the economy by itself. The data shows the suicide rate declining for black men, but their unemployment rate doubled during the recession. Let's be careful not to peg a complex social phenomenon on

I can personally confirm this. I bought a brand new Dell XPS 15 with Skylake (i7) in December. I installed Linux on it (kernel 4.3), and it has been a power management nightmare from day 1. I've only ever gotten 2 hours from the batte

I'm surprised Rust hasn't been mentioned. Its borrower memory management pattern, and its requirement of declared mutability prevent most of the most severe security bugs that C, et al, fall prey to.
