Re:Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate and from what? on Wednesday November 19, 2014 @12:04PM (#8631148)
$100 per month from my Android apps. I have three apps out, and only one is generating most of the money.

$0 from http://favoriteof.com - Site about recommendations by noteworthy people. Currently focusing on books!

Re:SSH Kung Fu on Monday April 28, 2014 @11:40AM (#7660662)
I have a setup similar to this:

  laptop - user (userid: me)
  F - firewall (userid: me)
  A - machine 1 in colo (userid: colo)
  B - machine 2 in colo (userid: colo, machine I want to access)
  C - machine 2 in colo (userid: colo)
  .
  .
  100s of machines.
Trust (ssh password less login) is setup between me@laptop and me@F, and me@laptop and colo@A, and between all colo machine (A,B,C..). So colo@A can ssh colo@B w/o password.

I am able to log into colo@A via F w/o password as I copied the ssh key there manually. (path me@laptop -> colo@F -> colo@A)

QUESTION: Is it possible to ssh to other machines (B,C..) via A while assuming full identity of colo@A? (Path would be me@laptop -> colo@F -> colo@A -> colo@B/C/..) With my current config when I try to ssh to B it knows request is originating from 'laptop' and still asks me for password.

Can you share your experiences -- how you promoted your previous apps?
Re: Review my iPad app for Comics - Comimix on Friday January 07, 2011 @01:01PM (#2080350)
Developed over the last few months - Just a fun way to browse 180+ comic strips on the iPad. There are a many loose ends as this is v1 - but we already took too much time to develop this and wanted real feedback before working on new features.

I have a few coupons to enable free downloads, message me if you want them. Also, what are good ways for generating some buzz? We are already contacting relevant bloggers/forums.

How do you like it HN? We'd love to hear your feedback!

Wow! Do you do all the maintenance of these sites yourself?
Re:Ask HN: Evaluating app ideas? on Thursday June 10, 2010 @08:14AM (#1419779)
Thanks, I had done a Google query - "site:news.ycombinator.com evaluating idea|ideas" and most of the good results didn't come up on first 5 pages. Changing "evaluating" to "evaluate" in the query gives much better results, still I wonder why they are not stemming [or something with similar effect] right away..

Ask HN: Evaluating app ideas?

Me and a friend have been thinking of multiple ideas for smartphones [and iPad]. I expect that we'll continue coming up with ideas till we have a bunch, and then decide what to work on. We already have a few ideas, but are not sure how to go about evaluating the viability of those ideas [Would a large number of people want it? Would they pay for it? Approximately how much effort would this app...

Should down voting some one also negatively affect the down voter's karma? It will help restrict the number of down votes anyone will give..
Would some research in the field help ? I am reading http://presnick.people.si.umich.edu//#publications for a term paper, seems very relevant. If anyone has read his work before, can you tell us what is applicable to HN case? I'll post back something when done reading!

For DM, try http://cs345a.stanford.edu, just browse through the slides they are pretty good. Also, if you can find - go for some video lectures about the topic. [try MIT, Berkeley ocw sites].

The author paints too grim a picture of mainframes. Isn't legacy code supposed to be that way? As far as I know, not many new code projects are being done on mainframes. But whatever is there, has to be maintained/upgraded. Mainframes are NOT as difficult to use as the author says. They power most of the big life/general insurance companies, and they do interface well with front-ends [with XSLs in middle to convert from/to string streams]. I have worked for two years on mainframes, and loved the simple editor. Like with any command-line type editor, it has its quirks, but once you learn it, it is very fast. Also, z/OS has some version control systems (Endevour), and really good debuggers.

I do not go to google.com and then search all that often nowadays. Most of the search takes place right from the search box (Firefox) or directly from Chrome..
