This is eerily spooky. I saw this accident this morning on my way to work. They completely blocked off Melrose and Highland with about a 2 block radius. I had no idea this accident was tied to him till I arrived home.

I was able to drive around and get a scope of the accident scene and felt something wasn't right.

The center divider has about a 3/4 miles worth of trees. I want to know where he 'lost' control. Street has multiple stops along the way...
It is not passive...

Yes, although only x86_64 is officially supported at the moment, that should change very soon.
I created a simple SaaS app, https://www.pageblox.com/ that makes $300 dollars a month. I think that in a year or slightly more it could break a thousand a month if I market aggressively. I think I was able to pull it off by targeting a very specific problem and its accompanying keyword phrase: "css layout generator". Over-simplifying, the steps are: 1. find a problem that people and have and its niche, low competition keyword that get about 5000-8000 searches a month 2. build a web based app that solves that problem 3. grow your traffic 4. a/b test and iterate

Marketing is by far the hardest part!
"There are probably around 100 people in the entire country that shouldn't fly" <- this is the problem

if there are people who are guilty of something, they should be prosecuted and jailed. There are procedures for that. There is no "actually you did not do anything, but you're high risk for flying" approach in any law-respecting country. Either you're guilty or you're not.
1. Identify a very niche pain for businesses.
2. Make phone calls every day to the people making buying decisions for that pain. Try to close the deal, even without a product.
3. Start building after your first deal closes.
4. As you build, keep calling and closing.
5. Script out common support issues as you encounter them, and offload to VA.

My previous startup generates many times more passive income than $1k/mo, and I did it the "hard" way by building the product first, then try to sell to customers. Also, don’t underestimate support costs.

Finally, keep in mind that you'll probably have to start an actual business in order to open a business bank account to collect money, and you'll have all the fees and legal obligations that goes along with owning a business, so your $1k/mo can easily turn into $500/mo after all that jazz.

Edit: I'll also add to stay away from targeting consumers directly, and instead go after businesses. Much easier to charge $199/mo to a real estate broker than $9/mo to Joe Consumer. The former won't blink an eye for a truly useful service, whereas you'll get overwhelmed with support issues on the latter.
Is it possible for non-apple developers to integrate with AirPlay? Because that would be a really nice feature to have!

Monetizing your hobbies/interests would be a good way of enjoying your free time and make some money. It won't be very passive though.
False.

Imagine you had a magic formula to create businesses that make $5,000/month and only take up 10 hours/week of your time. Wave that wand once and you have a $60k salary and a thoroughly leisure class lifestyle. Wave it twice and you're living quite nicely without really breaking a sweat. Most of us stopped there.

Notice that every time you use your magic formula, you take away another chunk of your free time. By the time you've done it four times, you've got a full time job.

That's the reason most of us are smart enough not to build $1,000,000/month worth of micro businesses. If that's the sort of money you'd prefer to make, you'll need to find another way to get it. But don't knock the magic formula. It works really well. You'd be doing yourself a disservice to believe otherwise.
It's fun to see that whenever a game concept reaches the front page there are at least 10 different implementations done within hours. Good job.
It is and its on our list (actually its on a git branch). Just didn't make it across the line for v1.

As a stop gap we have this in our FAQ:

Radio currently doesn't directly support Airplay.

However, if you'd really like to stream Radio via Airplay, here is a trick you can use:

Hold the Alt-key and click on the Volume icon in the menu bar, a menu will appear showing any available Airplay device. Select your Airplay device and all your sounds will play over Airplay.
Apple is no more responsible for contributing to Valgrind than you or I am. I do wish Valgrind worked properly on Mac OS X, but I don't have the right to demand someone make it happen for me, especially for free.

Same with GCC and GDB. If the GPLv3 is an unacceptable contract to Apple, they have a right not to agree to it. It's not exactly an uncontroversial license.
The real problem is what happens after an attack or disagreeable issue. Neither party can be sure of the "process", there will be conflicting stories, other factors, reactions from the less informed, societal norms, bias etc. If there was an expectation of a prompt rapid justice process then that would have been the solution, and it would certainly diminish future issues.

Instead the poster has to consider if there would even be justice, how long it would take, if it would be reasonable/objective, comments from the peanut gallery etc. Hopefully societies will keep getting better at this.
I made a lot of passive income by coding trading bots for bitcoin.

Its a steep learning curve but if you are willing to learn, it can be very profitable.

Like you, I can code confidently so during my morning commute I would read books about trading and economics. In the evening I would play with bits of code interfacing with broker API's. Within 3 months I had a working bot that automatically traded away as I slept and went about my day job (passive enough for you?).

Fast forward 6 months with a couple of hours coding a week refining my algorithms, my bots earned me more than double what I made in my day job that whole year.
I saw this on my way to work this morning. I live close, actually. I went around to survey the accident since it's looked pretty odd. Those tree's span for quite a while, and it took him all that time to "jacknife" into one?

To answer your question: He hit the 3 or 4 tree in.
Nice job Kenny! We should play sometime.
Interesting, I felt foolish about an hour after having written this post, realizing that in most scenarios, it really shouldn't ever be any amount of effort minus half a second of planning and felt foolish for writing off unicode. (Normally I go the other route, unicode all the things).

I suppose I feel that I was probably right to call myself arrogant then, to find out what you noted about Spotify's creators/creation. Interesting, thanks for the perspective check

You have a point in that the features may not be one to one equivalents, though that's generally the case when using any new language to a point. Even Java to C# vary a bit for their overlapping keywords/features. Yield might return a collection in Scala instead of an iterator like in Python, but that's not a huge knowledge leap to wrap one's head around.

Are collections immutable by default in Scala? I thought each each was treated as a separate, but equal package (scala.collection.mutable and scala.collection.immutable) and collections within scala.collection itself can be either mutable or immutable since they're super-classes to both subpackages. The difference between the super-package collections and the subpackage collections.immutable being that collections.immutable was guaranteed to be immutable.

I've kind of avoided "yield" so far and opted for the functional equivalents. Something like

val result: Array[Int] = for (elem ← n if n % 2 == 0) yield 5 * elem

just looks more readable as:

val result = n.filter(_ % 2 == 0).map(5 * _)

or in more functional syntax:

val result = n filter { _ % 2 == 0 } map { 5 * _ }

I don't think imperative code is necessarily painful in Scala, it's just constructed a bit differently. On the other side of the paradigm, functional language advocates seem to say functional programming in it is also painful[1]. Just seems Scala cannot 100% please everyone 100% of the time.

Many projects require copyright assignment in case they want to relicense. I wonder if they did that here?
do any kind of freelance/consulting work then invest the process into high dividend stocks and eventually shift to bonds as interest rates rise in the next few years. you can find quite a few large cap, stable companies on the cheap that yield on the order of 5%. take into account the lower tax rates on dividends and your real income rate becomes higher.
Great information, even cooler to see someone's got some code working alongside it, I might have to adapt it to Go if it's fairly reasonable to understand given my relative lack of experience with Unicode (heh as I'd mentioned and is probably obvious given your knowledge on hand).
Thanks, I woke up around lunch and saw the post and was like, well, I guess I know what I'm doing today. Honestly I only originally planned on working on my "color pencil" line drawing. haha

Exactly. I will start considering scalaz once its authors grow up and realize that the lack of documentation is not a sign of quality.

When you are spying on a foreign bank or corporation, aren't you spying on a bunch of foreign people?

I mean, arguably, if the NSA were spying on Google, would that make it reasonably all right? It's not like Google has feelings or a right to privacy -- it's not a person, it's a corporation.

Unless they're spying on bulldozers or kitchen ustensils, "entity" could be easily replaced with "one or more people" and the phrase would retain the same meaning. It's one of the many procedures in the family of othering: we're not shooting at people, we're shooting at the 4th platoon.

Microsoft killed Silverlight like Adobe killed Flash. Ipad killed nothing. And it is not the first product MS kills. they did it and will do again and again ,... that's the price to pay when relying on closed technologies.
The pattern you are missing is that Oracle, formerly Sun, paid Monty a billion dollars for MySQL, which he happily accepted. And let's not forget that MySQL was ALWAYS dual-licensed.
I am not "confused" by this attitude. Can we cut a victim some slack? I think asking her to take on that "subtle institutionalized sexism" is part of the reason she expressed qualms about publishing this in the first place.

I think it took tremendous courage for the author to post this and I don't think it's fair to ask her to try and address all these issues with her tone.

I think the fact we're more interested in analyzing the authors tone rather than sympathizing with a woman who DEFENDED HERSELF FROM RAPE and wasn't given sufficient support at a conference is maybe why she feels like she has to put out such a tone.

Please don't misinterpret me and think I'm saying that dongle jokes are ok and that subtle, institutionalized sexism isn't a big deal. I just think we could do more to give people some safe space to express anecdotes like this, and that might help foster an atmosphere of discussion.

Maybe then the next person who has the courage to come forward with an issue like this will feel empowered enough to talk about the cultural factors you're mentioning without needing to get on the defensive.

Find a very boring problem that you can automate into a product that needs minimal support.

By "very boring" I mean: necessary for a certain line of business and not well addressed by current competitors and not inherently interesting to work on and full of ugly gotchas and corner cases.

In general, solutions to these problems will be very profitable because they represent untapped markets. The only difficulties are: finding a problem sufficiently boring, and how much of it you can tolerate before it crushes your soul.

Ask for advice on my new online resume website 
I had built an online resume website. I built it because I couldn't found one on the Internet that meets my requirements.

And my requirements are:
1. free editing, not form filling
2. standalone resume, not user profile embedded on the platform

So I built a site called Cake Resume. I promoted it on some social media. Now there're about 15 resume on it.

Some user suggested that free editing is good, but some question guides are needed. Since they didn't know what to do with the blank page I gave them (Cake give its user a blank page for editing, not forms).

So I wonder if free editing a good feature? I am afraid if I add more fields on the site, it will be just as same as other online resume services on that already exist.

When you have some ideas, before you start, spend the first couple hours reading "The Lean Startup" [1] by Eric Ries. This book will give you a measuring stick to see if these ideas work.

In Opa, you have too mechanisms that combined provide probably a very high level of security in this sense too:
1) Algebraic constructs, so that the typing system checks properties like permissions automatically
2) Client "guards", aka protected values that can't be transmitted to the client, which Opa checks automatically.
Am I supposed to be intimidated by a list of 100 things you can do with an Iterable? Each one seems pretty reasonable. The C++ stdlib has 100 things you can do with iterators, too.
Passive income isn't. Lots of little projects may look like passive income but almost all of them (not saying it can't be done but I just have not seen any) have some kind of overhead.

It may be better to search for something that can be started small but that you can eventually scale.
It is a bit. Menubar radio players will all seem similar. I was a Radium user myself. It was the "record" function of this app that prompted me to make it. I wanted to record radio shows, budget speeches and a specific Dutch trance music show I listen to and I couldn't find an easy way to do that. There were ways, but nothing one-click and resident on the menu bar.
I was similarly taken aback by her apparent dismissal of feminism. For most of her post, she outlined the subtle institutional sexism that enables her would-be rapist and prevents her from taking any effective action.

Does she believe that by giving credence to the feminism that challenges the less overt sexist attitudes and actions in the community, we divert attention from 'real' violence towards women? Perhaps she's aware of the fact that many dismiss feminism categorically, so she's attempting to distinguish the violence towards her as a real offense.

Either way I agree with you, but I also can't blame her for writing it the way she did. I hope that the incredible guts it took for her to write this post encourages other women to be vocal about their own experiences of this nature. I hope this gently open a dialogue on sexism with an undeniable and overt demonstration of sexism in the community. But right now, I hope that the community supports her.

What stops you from adding a type assertion in a dynamic language that supports Classes?
1) Cryonics is mostly a pseudoscientific money making scheme. "In theory it could work" (maybe) if we get around a lot of huge hurdles. Calling it the best idea we have is just an opinion.

2) Explain to me what a frozen mind is. Explain to me how a mind can be frozen, present evidence. Present evidence that the mind is present and intact in a frozen brain. Explain how the mind can be restored, present evidence.

3) That is not the definition (even if it was, my point would still be valid), it is an obvious ruse to get around a problem with he whole concept of freezing and reviving people that is obvious to anyone who has ever eaten frozen broccoli. Also "reprogramming viruses -> nanotech that can do everything": Non sequitur.

4) Again, you are just asserting things. You are making a positive claim and you need to present evidence.

5) I understand that you claimed that before. But you are just pulling that out of the air without evidence or even a good explanation or any reasoning.

6) I have a canvas with the original painting of the mona lisa that was made before the one we can now see at the museum. You're lucky! I would like to sell it to you! Please note that you can not see the painting at the moment because it has been preserved by a sophisticated technique called "meh". So the canvas might look empty at the moment but future nanotechnology will be able to restore it. Interested?

Trend Chasing
When people say they want "passive income", I take it to mean "I want to start a tiny business and then neglect it and hope it dies slowly".
Businesses are way better than Joe Consumer, they need less support and pay more.

On that subject, stay away from "free" plans, unless you really need freemium marketing - the support for free users is usually the most.
Can you give an example of funds like this? Maybe instructions on how you would search for them?
What's wrong with it, then? Such a language would need:

1. tool support (valgrind, gdb or better)

2. good performance - 64-bit on the major desktop OSes (mobile a plus, obviously)

3. real concurrency

4. libraries

5. build time for large projects ("compiles down to C++" makes me think this could be an issue)

Most new languages fail at several of these, for years. You'll notice that I haven't mentioned language design at all.
You know, medical journals make authors prominently disclose any interests that might matter, and biomedical research has a reputation of being less than squeaky-clean. Expecting the same norm in political journalism doesn't seem inherently ridiculous, even if it's the last thing anyone would expect today. It may be somewhat automatable with natural language processing and databases of contributions.
Yes, but that vacuuming is apparently being done, just not under PRISM (for example, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A). PRISM is just one method of getting the data.

No such thing as "passive income" except maybe buying securitized debt (bonds, etc. but then you got inflation to worry about).

A business is a business; the amount of labor you'll have to put into it will be proportional to the supply and demand that exists in that specific market.

She mentioned on Twitter that she's afraid of a lawsuit. Somebody told her it would be libel. I'm pretty sure that's not true in the US. But even if she would eventually win the lawsuit, they can still be ruinously expensive, so her fear could be justifiable.

Anyhow, other people have outed the guy on Twitter. You can turn it up with a little rummaging. Several people have asked him for his side of the story, but there has been no reply as yet.
I guess you know of BlueJ Java is a bit like this, lots of schools use it to teach programming.

Some kind of logging would help people follow what is going on. When I teach, logs often help clear up a miss conception.

I guess you are aiming at minimal setup and maximum learning. Which is a nice idea. But the next step, after they learn how to use loops etc, is still required. They will need to setup Java etc, you are changing the order of the steps. Does this make things simpler, or just different?
