Some context here: this is for Belkin / Linksys WRT1900AC, which was released as a premium open-source router, with OpenWRT support, now close to about a year ago…

Except it actually wasn’t open-source and didn't have OpenWRT support, due to the missing WiFi drivers from Marvell…

The Aeropress stands as the best $25 I've ever spent. It's amazing how good the coffee is from that (and I've tried nearly every other means of making coffee out there). It's also very travel friendly, I generally take it with me on trips with a little pre-ground coffee.
Ok, I corrected it. He was talking about programming languages in general. He did not mention HTML 5 at all. If I think about writing web applications the first programming language which comes into mind is Clojure. This does not make sense for me.
I agree with this comment, although it might not appear that I do from the other remark I made in this thread.

Spending four years supporting myself playing poker for just-under-minimum-wage on average was a waste of time in terms of career/hard skills, but gave me an instinctive grasp of game theory, excellent budgeting skills, improved my self-confidence and was generally a lot of fun. I don't know if I'd be where I am now without those four wasted years.

EDIT: Oh! I remember the salient point I was going to make - I doubt she'd be earning around £250+ from a Guardian article without that liberal arts degree!

Key observation:

The key to addressing this problem is not to say "public or private?" but to ask how we can make certain people are 1) informed; 2) have the right to chose; and 3) are consenting without being deceived. I’d be a whole lot less pissed off if people had to opt-in in December. Or if they could’ve retained the right to keep their friends lists, affiliations, interests, likes, and other content as private as they had when they first opted into Facebook. Slowly disintegrating the social context without choice isn’t consent; it’s trickery.
I know you can hackintosh, but the thing is I actually dislike OS X, I dislike the missing features of linux etc etc, so that means nothing to me. At the moment I use an Asus UL80vt, it took some tooling around to get it perfect, but it is that from my perspective now, and it only cost me 1k AUD.

Interesting point about the Linus thing, I was specifically talking about everyone I know that actually uses Linux, they'd look at me like I was crazy if I suggested they buy a mac for the hardware (cause it would necessarily subtract from the grunt margin on the box they could get, instead, and also mac hardware is always significantly behind the performance curve at their cutting edge compared to what's available outside apple's walled garden.)
Because people need something to talk about and universities benefit from the publicity perhaps?
We had just launched a test server about 40 minutes ago and had been waiting for it to boot for ages when I finally thought to check the status page. Talk about bad timing.

How about this as an alternative: The user is stuck in a very (corporate/government/sluggish) environment. I will review your site/app from a major bank's / federal government's offices and report back!

Or maybe this: The user is a 65 year old dad whose son doesn't come around often enough to ensure his father hasn't installed countless malware that he blames "internet" on. I will go to my dad's house and use his computer to browse your site/app and report back!

This list really should get longer, HN, I turn to you.

Well, it is a curious idea, and a very peculiar niche for a business! But... "Your website should be so simple, a drunk person could use it" is kind of arguable. For some sites (eg. hacker news...?) the desirable outcome is that a drunk person should probably not use it. Still, I suppose the tester can test for that as well.
I completely agree. Moderation.

Much like how students who get the best grades aren't necessarily the most intelligent, it just depends on how you define "best" and "winning". The best student isn't the one that hypothetically has a higher ceiling on solving obscure complex problems, it's the one that completed the homework and tested the best.
Meh, even Microsoft seems to be better at sponsoring open source projects.

The thing that helped the most and continued helping was not using regular computer mice. Instead I use thinkpad keyboards with a little red button for a mouse that's on the keyboard itself. This has essentialy got rid of RSI for me. Your mileage may vary, but the keyboard is like $40 so not an expensive experiment. As a matter of fact vi use 2 of those keyboards as they are pretty small and i have wide shoulders, also with 2 keyboards you can use the mouse with both hands, which also helps.

The odd thing is that they weren't selling the RT to businesses. Despite being a Microsoft tablet with a "real" copy of Office, it couldn't join a domain and thus didn't fit the most obvious business case.

I figured it was because they were copying the iPad model, which actually makes a ton of sense. If all the apps are locked down to their own little sandboxes, the support costs go way down and the machine becomes nearly trivial to administer. It reduces so many headaches, I think it really was a good win. They didn't need to require signed stuff, but the sandbox model has been proven to work on the iPad.

That said, I don't think anyone would complain if it looked like an iPad. Having the Metro interface was all they needed. Instead they put the full Windows desktop on there because they weren't far enough to replicate all functionality in Metro. I'd also guess that Office wasn't ready for Metro.

So what you got, instead, was the equivalent of an iPad that looked like occasionally fell into OS X, but wouldn't actually let you install any OS X programs.

Truth is, Apple was very smart to make iOS look completely different from OS X. Among other things, it gave them a clean break to change expectations of how computers work and how much control & administration the end user will do.

There were plenty of other bad decisions. I'd say the low end model (storage wise) probably should have just been cut so they didn't end up with those "I only get 4 gigs on my 32 gig tablet" problems. They featured a keyboard as the key differentiator in their ads, but neglected to mention that was a $120 add on instead of a pack in.
Their biz model and revenue aren't based on user features working. The priority is on keeping what we can't see working. Most everything else is window dressing.

Put another way, the engineering heavy-weights work on the important stuff. Interns and such gets the rest.
What's sorely needed is a way to stop the exfiltration of private data when it's not provided for a specific reason. I bet very few people who share their contacts with WhatsApp know they're getting uploaded to Facebook.
Yet plenty of engineers leave FAANG for startups.
Decoupling health care from employment doesn’t actually require making it universal. Private individual insurance would also work.

(I’m not advocating for this — I’m just pointing out that private insurance does not require employment, and the US could easily get rid of the incentives for employers to provide insurance.)
At age seven? Again, if the kid is up for it then great, but I think most kids that age have a hard time committing that amount of time to any single activity.
The author suggests studying Programming Pearls. Bentley wrote there:

As soon as we settled on the problem to be solved, I ran to my nearest copy of Knuth's _Seminumerical Algorithms_ (having copies of Knuth's three volumes both at home and at work has been well worth the investment). Because I had studied the book carefully a decade earlier, I vaguely recalled that it contained several algorithms for problems like this. After spending a few minutes considering several possible designs that we'll study shortly, I realized that Algorithm S in Knuth's Section 3.4.2 was the ideal solution to my problem.

Why is vaguely recalling an algorithm studied years prior and needing to look it up indicative of a poor candidate in an interview?
large parts of the poorer urban communities didn't jump on the smartphone bandwagon until 2010. "Ballers" had Blackberries but most people were still using flip or feature phones. I remember arguing with a lot of people that the iPhone/Android was the future.

Around 2010 all of that changed. Everyone in my neighborhood in Harlem started to have smartphones. And with the rise of smartphones in poor urban neighborhoods came the rise of these same people using social media in record numbers.
This is not going to work if you park your car at a friends house. So really the advantage is simply not needing to deal with power connectors and other cables. Day to day a base station can probably save you more time. Consider 1 or more USB, 2 monitors, network cable, power supply, plus finding all the right cables which may fallen off your desk etc.

That's not really a problem.

Composer makes dependencies flat , and PHP isn't module based,but namespace and class based.

Which makes libraries way more stable,unlike the nodejs galaxy of packages for instance.

And by the way,most of the packages listed aren't routers.

If you only search the word "router",you'll get only 21 pages,roughly 300 packages.

now go on npm.org and type in router you'll get more than 1600 packages.

Where do you think the problem is ? is nodejs a module based language with dependency trees , or PHP , class and namespace based language with flat dependencies?

This makes a good "example case".

If you are going to take something to the Supreme Court you want a Plaintiff who looks like a boy-scout to the press. You want to make sure that they can't retroactively dig up a reason for the guy to be on the no-fly list. It needs to be clear that the only reason that he is on that list is that he said "no, thank you" to the FBI

...or the courts need to wake up to the reality of life in the modern world, where being denied the ability to board an airplane can result in harm to a person's personal and professional life. My boss is great but there is no way he is approving a 5 day trip on Amtrak for my next in-person meeting in California, let alone weeks of travel by boat for the next conference in Europe or Asia (assuming these things resume after the pandemic). I have met people whose entire career would be destroyed if they could not fly freely and frequently.

If the courts are not prepared to rule the no-fly list unconstitutional, then they need to start awarding damages to people who have been placed on the list. Either the government proves in court that there was a legitimate reason to prevent a person from flying or they compensate that person for all the harm that ensues.
Very hard to feel bad for the banks in this, since it's only the epic scale of foreclosures that allowed anything like this to happen, and the scale of foreclosures is a direct result of non-existent underwriting.

However, the problem is, it's not the banks footing the bill, it's the taxpayers. As usual, the less you pay, the more you get, and now apparently that includes the wholesale American Dream of home ownership.

What I don't understand from a legal perspective, is how statue of limitation can possibly apply. The time limit would have to be filing of the case, not conclusion right? I know there were issues with robo-signing and all that, but did the loan servicers really drop the ball so badly? (Edit: The answer is in the actual case PDF I found and linked to below -- the original foreclosure was dimissed without prejudice because the bank couldn't produce the necessary documents, namely an original copy of the mortgage.)

Mortgage servicing is outsourced by the government in fairly lucrative contracts. The bank you get the loan from is almost never (credit unions are the obvious exception) the company that collects your payments each month. I would have guessed it's up to the loan servicer to handle the foreclosure... the article simply doesn't have enough details behind the catchy headline.

Also so good to know they won't even have to pay tax on the income... 
 http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/The-Mortgage-Forgiveness-Debt...

And here's the actual case... so much for "NOT FOR PUBLICATION": http://noonanandlieberman.com/media/pdfs/washington-11-6-210...

Secion I. Introduction:

“No one gets a free house.” This Court and others have uttered
that admonition since the early days of the mortgage crisis, where
homeowners have sought relief under a myriad of state and federal
consumer protection statutes and the Bankruptcy Code. Yet, with a
proper measure of disquiet and chagrin, the Court now must retreat
from this position, as Gordon A. Washington (“the Debtor”) has
presented a convincing argument for entitlement to such
relief. So, with figurative hand holding the nose, the Court,
for the reasons set forth below, will grant Debtor’s motion for
summary judgment.

Edit 2: The lawyers for the bank seem like complete neanderthals?! The statue of limitations is 6 years from the date of maturity, which was accelerated, so debtor claims it's been 6 years since the accelerated date. But the statue specifically says the bank can extend the date of maturity by written instrument. So... write a note de-accelerating the acceleration by 1 year, and re-file the foreclosure.

It's also not even clear the statue in question was effective in this case. The judge assumes that based on a prior statue which did say it was to be effective for all foreclosures filed after that date, but the law in question says no such thing.

And a final closing remark, as I just got to the last sentence in the PDF:

"The Court will proceed to gargle in an effort to remove the
lingering bad taste."

I once wrote one about Jon Johansen (although that was only my second-best-known poem about him).
One of the more useful things that was done with debug.exe was a binary-to-ascii converter for sending files in email or usenet and the recipient didn't need any extra tools. I think the program was called "xxdebug" after xxencode which was a descendent of uudecode. But Google doesn't help, so either my memory is wrong or the internet has forgotten.

I'm positive I have it on an archived disk somewhere. If I were inclined to resurrect it.
Lists of Unicode points (integers), specifically. That said, most real world string manipulation is done by passing them as binaries. It really isn't much of an issue, nowhere near as much as is the hell that is NULL-terminated character arrays in C, which, mind you, power most of our software nonetheless.

Erlang does have a good Protocol Buffers library, by the way: https://github.com/basho/erlang_protobuffs. Even if it didn't, you'd use a more native serialization format like BERT.

As for abandoned projects and library sprawl, that is true. However, I'd say that this is far more bearable in Erlang than in other languages. For one, the module system makes deducing how to use a program's API from source code much easier even if there is no explicit documentation - every Erlang program basically gets a user interface for free just by virtue of being a module. In addition, if the library in question is a properly structured OTP application or if it uses vanilla process primitives efficiently, I can have relative confidence that it is less likely to blow up in my face than, e.g. a random Java library.

Even still, there's all sorts of libraries despite the small community. If you're doing web development and there's some RESTful API that has no Erlang bindings, those are relatively trivial to roll yourself.

> What's $3k in rent today going to be in 30 years? Nobody could say for sure, but I'd bet everything I own it'll be more than $3k.

I don't believe this is the case. Population growth has stopped in the US, and as baby boomers die off you're going to see a glut of housing inventory pushing prices down.

> Effectively 0, and I can't see a reason it should be otherwise. Does a car dealer caution you about buying too expensive of a car? Does the Apple store encourage you to buy the smallest iPod? Salesmen are not (usually) your fiduciary, and every single person involved in a real estate transaction is a salesperson. Nobody's looking out for you except for you.

Small quibble. The real estate agent/broker advising you is required to act as your fiduciary, as is your attorney. I'm able to provide legal citations if necessary.

> Sure, that happens, and I feel bad for people in that situation. What I've heard a lot of though is from people who could pay, but won't because they feel like it's a bad deal now (see: this thread).

Selection bias. For every person you talk to on Hacker News who made a financial decision to walk away, I'd wager there are hundreds of people who lost their home due to a legitimate financial hardship. This can be observed through both the unemployment rate during the crisis [1] (and several years after) as well as people trying to get onto disability due to them no longer having skills to earn a living wage.

So circulation forms and self-sustains naturally when you push the airfoil through the air. From the article, it looks like this is because the air behavior is asymmetric between the leading and trailing edges, in favor of maintaining circulation.

My question: why/how does the air do this?

For example, I thought the Coanda effect was the macro result of van der Waals attraction. Is there a similar explanation for the behavior of air which results in asymmetric leading & trailing edge behavior?
I think a switch to electric makes the most sense. It can piggyback off our existing infrastructure, and in an engineering sense, it is only "loosely coupled" to whatever manner we use to create the electricity.
