Google disabled access to /proc/config, which makes the process of building a vaguely compatible kernel all the more like guess-and-check.

Is there really no .config in their GPL release? AFAIK compile-time config is a GPLv2 requirement as part of the "scripts used to control compilation" (Gpl-Violations FAQ specifically mentions Linux .config files.) I'd hope there's either a .config or a defconfig that applies to Glass as-shipped.

(NB: I don't mean to dispute your overall point by this, just wondering.)
It's also likely people over 50 have more money saved, so it's just easier for them to start a company. Both because they can use savings for living expenses and because potential investors are happier when the founder has some skin in the game.
Heh. You should see the looks I get with my Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 (running Arch Linux and i3wm). People must think I'm entering nuclear launch codes every time I use vim in public on the thing...
Oops, my bad. I assumed the negative connotation in "monopoly on violence" was intended. Maybe we should talk about the "enforcement mechanisms" or something?
Yes, that's just it, it's practically all subjective. You don't have to copy every word for it to be a trademark infringement either.

Personally I think he was lucky to have gotten Chik-Fil-A off of his back in 2006 because the slogan similarities are stunning, but then again I've actually seen Chik-Fil-A advertising for years before this.
The value of their home factors into their annual income when comparing to other household incomes. The grandparent said that $25,000 is a level of income someone would expect on welfare, however MMM does not have costs that people on welfare have. For example I spend $18,000 per year on my rent, I would need to earn $25,000 + $18,000 to have the same effective income as MMM. For most households housing costs are one of the largest (if not the largest) ongoing cost, when comparing MMM and others (as the grandparent did) you need to take that into account.

I'm amazed no one has commented on the fact that the pool of potential entrepreneurs under the age of 25 is incredibly small (most kids ages 0-18 aren't out there starting companies, and a big chunk are in college) versus if you're 50+ there is a much bigger pool (reasonably ages 50-75) and you probably have the means and connections to be more successful.

I'm surprised it's only twice as many...
That's a more specific way of phrasing reversing the hash into a password, yes. ;)
Ask HN: Is English in the workplace important?
I just left a contract (in the US) where english was rarely spoken in the office (mostly when dealing with managers). I found this to be odd, and slightly disturbing. It made me uncomfortable, am I wrong to feel that way?
I think he'd agree that the particulars of his situation are hardly prescriptive.

But it's also hard to argue with the reality that, if you eschew stupid expenses and live frugally, you can very rapidly build up a very healthy savings. Given that, it's trivially easy to retire by 50 or even 40 for most people; for a software developer (like MMM), it's quite possible to do it by 30.

Honestly, though, I would argue that his plan gives him a sense of false security: no one knows what the economy will look like in ten years, let alone twenty or thirty, and building his retirement on the assumption nothing drastic will change in it or his personal life is folly.

And he spent the first... seven or so years of his working life in some soul-sucking corporation. That's a shit load of time wasted. So his problem?

I'd say it's that he retired too late.

If you take his definition of retirement as "having enough money that you can do what you want to do," all you probably actually have to do is save up 100k-200k, plus or minus a bit. That's because most people want to have some integration into the economy; they just want it on their terms. And integration into the economy means you're getting paid some amount. Given a fluid nest egg to last you a frugal decade or so really gives you all the financial security you need. (Of course, shit can happen, but any shit that can burn through that kind of nest egg is likely to ruin whatever plans you have anyways.)

If you have $200k saved up at this point and no real commitments but have grand plans for how you'll retire sometime in the next five to ten years and then do what you really want to do--teaching, or open source projects that interest you, or traveling around the world as a photographer/blogger--more likely than not you can do it now, within a year. You should. Money will come to you, and there's no reason to put off your dreams.
I agree, though from what I gather his investments could let him spend more without drawing down capital. He just hadn't found a need.

But it sounds like he's got emergency cover. Plus with his blog he's adding new revenue.
Need Advice on building a web service
Hi all,

I have been lurking for a while. This is my first post - please be gentle with me.

I am a Soccer Coach, and I'd like to build an open source archive of exercises. I have some experience with databases and taxonomy. Nothing though with images.

Each exercise would need at least one image showing the layout. I'd like to record the elements on that image. Would HTML5 and Canvas be a good solution?

There are thousands of coaching exercises freely available. We desperately need a way to organize them.

Thanks
John
I've experienced all types, never needed anything fancier than Winamp's playlist support + searchbar.
That's a false dichotomy. I was never forced to bike to school in freezing temperatures, and yet I've managed to learn the value of a dollar quite well, if I do say so myself.
He said don't _have_ to work, I think there is a big difference there.
I think it's questionable what knowing what a dollar is worth if you orient your life in a way to make as little of them as possible. I think you should value a dollar, but also work hard and apply yourself.

It's a strange combination... He got the investment income is the secret part, but then seemingly stopped at the earliest opportunity. It just seems lazy. I agree with him that spending more than you make is irresponsible, but I also think there's a happy medium where you can both have a coffee and a retirement account. You're not taking any of it with you anyways, might as well enjoy a few moments of it.

The "Salmon study" was an illustration of the necessity of correcting for multiple comparisons in voxel-wise testing. The problem it's addressing isn't itself data dredging, based on the definition linked above on Wikipedia.

You're probably better off asking this question on stackoverflow.com.
He's not actually working though, so not really a big difference. Technically I could move to a third world country tomorrow and be "retired", but that doesn't fit my goals.

Your plan needs the nest egg + house paid off. I will have 150k USD(100k GBP) by the time I'm 26 but no house. so i doubt I could survive a decade on it.
early retirement doesn’t only happen to Powerball winners and those who luck into a big inheritance.

Right. It also happens to those who get lucky in the stock market, and chose the right job at the right time.

http://money.msn.com/retirement/article.aspx?post=dd544488-f...

I was able to save more: $5,000 into the retirement account, $3,000 into an employee stock purchase plan, and $10,000 in cash. Year 2 'stash: $23,000 ($13k cash/shares, $10k retirement).

Year 3: This was late 1999, and both the job and stock markets were on fire. I cashed out the stock purchase plan shares from Year 2, which were now worth $10k

The investment gains on stocks started accumulating, adding about $10k to our earnings this year. So we still ended up increasing the savings by close to $100k after tax. Year 5 'stash: $250k.

Investment gains on the existing savings contributed another $20k. It is complicated to remember what portion of income was taxable salary, and what was nontaxable gains inside of retirement accounts and such. But a reasonable estimate of the total is Year 6 'stash: $365k.

Year 7: No increases in salary, but similar amazing earnings and moderate spending, combined with $30k of investment gains. Year 7 'stash: $490k.

I wonder why more people don't do this.
Was wondering where that went. I used it all the time, but only for the link to the cached version. Good to know it's still available under the green arrow.
Because it features $10,000 per person deductibles (and then you still have to pay a portion up to $3k). If his kid breaks his leg riding his bike to school in the snow the family income could be cut nearly in half. Better than nothing, but definitely not great. That's a symptom of the US more than it is his lifestyle though.
Yes please do. And then afterwards somebody will be able to use that to incriminate you.

I always recommend the following two posts to anyone who has discovered MMM, as I think they best sum up his context, history, mindset, goals and living situation - all of which are good to understand before you start taking what he writes as guidance:

http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/06/01/raising-a-family-o...

It's important to keep in mind that his goal was to end his reliance on a full time job for income as quickly as possible, full stop. He did pretty much everything in his power to reach that goal, and it's clear that he's very dedicated.

For anyone who glances at this interview or at his blog and thinks, "I'd like to do that," make sure you read the two posts above first. If your idea of retirement is fuck-you money, a yacht and a summer home in the Hamptons, his advice isn't going to work for you - although his blog provides a good opportunity to gain some perspective on how people not like yourself treat money and what they consider the ideal retirement to be.
One of the selling points has been that they may be used gesturaly, rather than requiring explicit point and click positioning - ie they could be similar to keyboard input in the form of touch typing rather than relying on hand eye coordination.
I was trying to make my claim as non-controversial as possible. I agree that it fails under a lot of conditions and many above-average drivers are better off without it.

Profession, by Isaac Asimov (1957)
We aren't talking about people in this specific thread of discussion. You do realize that, right? We are talking about people we work with, people we have worked with in the past, people we meet at conferences, people we deal with at other online venues, people we read articles written by, and so forth.

Some of those people are the ones who are responsible for (unjustifiably, in my opinion) giving the C-style syntax a bad reputation by expressing their dislike for it.

And, yes, the Pascal, Ruby and Python communities, among many others, do exist. They do have very different traits and attitudes. You're free to pretend that they don't exist, but the reality is that they do.
Thanks - I'll try that.
I still use it for the fact I can reduce its size down to about 1/8" of my screen[1] (on a 23" 1920x1200 monitor) and scroll through my playlist with my mouse scroll wheel while docked on the taskbar of my screen. No other player (windows, linux or otherwise) can do that as far as I know.

I know practically nothing about the smarter keys that cars have these days. Could you please elaborate? I'm intrigued.
It all depends on where you live. I doubt where he lives (Longmont CO) is that expensive. There are plenty of places in the USA where 25k will go a long way. Remember he has no mortgage and other debts. If he has relatively low property taxes and doesn't care about having a new car every 5 years etc., then 25k a year is more than enough. It certainly isn't poverty level or anything.

I don't get why people on here are so negative about it. Don't be bitter because you live in the valley and spend 2k+ a month just for a crappy apartment. It just sounds like this guy values his time more than money. He might not be spoiling his kids with tons of toys or free college, but at least he is there for them. I'll warrant many of the entrepreneurs hackernewsers look up to don't spend nearly as much time with their family as this guy. Their too busy making money as a way to keep score in their "life." This guys just living his life.
I don't like how judgmental he is about lifestyle choices alternative to the ones he's made. I, personally, enjoy going out to eat, I enjoy the "$100 happy hours," I'm in Turks and Caicos right now on a stretch of the most beautiful beach I've ever seen and I enjoy that, too. Oh, and I don't particularly dislike working. I'm a well paid highly skilled engineer building cool things for a fantastic .com that takes care of its people.

I get it, he has options and choices and that is an ideal. If I wanted to retire right this very second, I couldn't. But you know if my wife wanted to give birth right this second she couldn't. It requires about 11 months of planning and prep work and the fact she hasn't put that time in already is in no way a bad thing or a disadvantage for her. She LIKES splitting a bottle of wine with me at dinner and eating seared tuna and ice cream desserts and coffee and dirty martinis. So, not yet, for us.

I just wish he could be a better advocate for his extreme frugality and savings lifestyle without building it on criticizing the alternative with every other breath. (And even if some things aren't strictly criticism they are de facto criticism by painting them in a less then gracious light.)
Winamp also has a library built into it. Whether one chooses to use it is another thing entirely though.
Shocking that someone giving financial advice online is not entirely upfront... (Though it is interesting in this case because the sales pitch is pretty universally unappealing.)
Ok, I didn't love the GPs attitude but what you're criticizing him for is basically exactly what MMM did throughout this bio.
Retired? He is a hard working self-promoting blogger, and also does handyman work. By his tortured definition, most middle class people are retired, as they could survive without work if they have to.

This design problem already has a solution: http://readable.sourceforge.net/. But implementing sweet-expressions in BODOL’s parser (https://github.com/bodil/BODOL/blob/master/src/bodol/parser....) would take a lot of changes, even if the author approved it.
We left it as he had written it because it would have been a pain to hunt down the dependencies. Were we working in a compiled world, we would have refactored and the compiler would have caught any missed dependencies in a second.

Ideally, unit tests should take compiler role and be able to catch typos and missing dependencies. There is really no excuse for not maintaining unit tests in the dynamic world.
Unless it is a research grade code with limited lifetime.

You don't have to listen to everything he says. Take the ideas that help you.
He is working. He works hard on bizdev for his blog ,doing his own PR to get submarine press in WaPo. I "retired" from blogging, now I code for fun and some money to pay my entertainment bills.
My primary reason for staying on Winamp is that most of the plugins for playing video game console music formats (NSF, PSF, GSF, 2SF, USF, VGZ, KSS, SPC, and others) are written for Winamp. I've found a few programs that play a few of the formats, but Winamp is the only one that plays them all.

(Any player that fully supports Winamp plugins would be an adequate replacement, but I'm also happy with Winamp in general)
Edit: He actually states his house is worth around $400k, which would make it a nice house for the area.
http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/06/01/raising-a-family-o...

He says he lives in a four bedroom four bathroom house. And he says he lives in what he believes to be one of the nicest neighborhoods in Longmont. His wife also states that the house has around 2600 square feet. That means the house is worth at least $200k. I would suggest that it would be worth at least $300k if it was older. You could get a little bit bigger house for $400k though. I wouldn't say that Longmont is an expensive place to live, it is definitely a lot cheaper than its neighbor Boulder, but I would say there are a lot of cheaper places to live.

PM is a team function, that of (in a nutshell) managing and tracking resources and tasks. It's also a field of study, and optionally a job title.

At the level of abstraction of PM, software is exactly analogous to building skyscrapers, building a rocket, producing a theatre production or capping deepwater horizon.

You are right that there is not just one way to organise a project. However, if the project is being organised at all, at least one person is doing project management.

It's just that the acting PM(s) may not be formally trained it in, or have "PM" as their job title. That's fine.
Poverty-level income is in the eye of the beholder. He and his family sound quite happy at that amount; if they're happy, is it really poverty? If they're happy with that amount, why can't we be too? The "starving children in Africa" perspective is trite, but to an extent true--this guy's quality of life would be envied by 70% of the world, and yet we call it "poverty-level".

God says...

sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen
for wood.

24:23 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And
Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.

24:24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of
thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my
God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the
threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

24:25 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt
offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land,
and the plague was stayed from Israel.
I had no idea that ESC was required by law. Sure enough, you're right; U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Rule 126 [1]: "require electronic stability control (ESC) systems on passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses with a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 Kg (10,000 pounds) or less"

Apparently similar laws exist in Canada, Australia, and the EU. I guess you learn something new every day.

> How do you think people react to hearing that what they perceive (often rightfully) as hard-earned success was, in your eyes, unearned?

Ahh, but that's the guts of male privilege isn't it. Their hard-earned success was much easier to come by than a women whose achieved the same level of success. That's what privilege means. It was easier for man to gain that success than their women counterpart. Perhaps not so rhetorical after all. It just stings. Sometimes the truth does that. And sometimes, the only way to break through the denial of an issue is to take a hard stance.

This _is_ an emotional issue. It's people's lives we're talking about. As young women, it's emotional for my daughters. As a father, it's emotional for me. As developers who want to "expand the talent pool", it's emotional for the industry. As people who wish to be blind to gender, it's emotional for society.

> I'd be interested in sponsoring, hosting, or otherwise contributing to non-gendered youth programs

That's great. I'm involved in several myself, including the STEM outreach program at our schools. That doesn't mean that programs targeted at young girls aren't necessary. These "gendered" programs are as much about counter-acting the social pressure the keeps them out of STEM as they are about introducing and developing interest in STEM generally.

Now, I don't know anything about the Ada Initiative, so I'll leave that alone, but will say this, as I said before, ignoring the problem may not make you morally bankrupt, but it does make you complicit in others bankruptcy.
