  5. Ask HN: What is a good side income for retirement?

    45 now and it's hitting me I'm 10 years from a plausible retirement age. I have a cushion of stocks but would like something a bit more income generating. Doesn't have to be a unicorn, doesn't have to be software. Just…

  8. Ask HN: Has anyone gone from work to academia post mid 30's?

    I'm 42 and meh. I've run my own company, worked in a couple startups, and am employed by a big-4 now. I see the people above me and blech: I could get on a bigger stage "architecting" bigger projects but who cares. I…

  10. Ask HN: Is it worth it to move to SV in 40's with family?

    Synopsis: I'm in a job (/city) where I've hit the ceiling in terms of software dev, and expect to get raises on par with inflation for the rest of my career. However I have a nice house that's paid off, reasonable…

  11. Ask HN: If MS spun off Windows, would it be forgiven?

    Just hypothetically, say MS for whatever reason spun off Windows into its own company. Or kills Windows and releases the source to PC vendors et al to do as they will. Then it's just a company that does Office (a…

  12. Ask HN: What's the next big thing that will exceed hiring capacity?

    The current big thing seems to be machine learning. In 2010 I assumed self-driving cars or beating a Go grandmaster wouldn't even be a consideration until maybe 2030. I don't think I was alone. But it has happened, and…

  14. Ask HN: Are there any opportunities for an old generalist?

    I've been working as an independent consultant for about 12 years. However, now age 40 with two young kids in tow, I'm looking for something more stable. The crux is, while I'd want to get paid like a 18-year veteran of…

  15. Ask HN: What does gmail do when showing the “Loading” screen?

    I'm curious if anybody has investigated this. It seems like (a) it should be unnecessary to have a loading screen at all for a mostly static page, (b) even for a lazy-loaded dynamic page there shouldn't be all that much…

  16. Ask HN: How do you migrate from static to dynamic typing

    I've been using statically typed languages my entire life. I've been working with clients on some dynamic languages projects lately though. In a static language, I'm used to being able to e.g. change variable names,…

  17. Strike for physics funding

    So many good software engineers I know are way more interested and talented in physics than they are in software. Yet, the money is here in software. But software seems so obvious, it's always just the next single…
