Because I remember the author's thread about getting more karma, I'd suggest that the odds of this story being successful on Hacker News are diminished by the promotion of a marketing gimmick in the headline.

It turns the post's intent from a 'here is something that might be useful for you' to 'here is something that might be useful for me, the author'.

Good luck.
It is unclear what this tries to achieve. Could you please explain why this removes the need for temporary files?

To me computer skills means two things: rate at which one can learn new technologies, and one's understanding the basic components that comprise of the machines.

Programming fits both of those categories: consider the number of programming languages in vogue at the moment. These languages however are composed of the same components which comprise the machine.

Programming languages are software, no differently than iMessage or Windows Live Mail. It's just another way to control the machine.

Hey, thanks for the great advice - here[0] is a comparison chart on Up/Downlink profiles and others from SmallNetBuilder for the first six models listed.

Do you have any real-life comparison of range/stability (and with what load on them?) on those models as from experience I know that raw comparison data on Wi-fi differs from reality.

Both this and some other Trendnet models I checked are not Wi-Fi Certified - has that been an issue for you?

As I'm in Europe the issue with TP-Link locking down firmware because of the FCC ruling [0][1] won't be a factor and I'm still not sure are they or TP-Link at fault?

I found https://www.amazon.com/Qotom-Q190G4-Celeron-Processor-Barebo... a fantastic device for the price. There's a non-Atom Celeron, a Broadwell chip and four Intel LAN ports in a <$150 package without moving parts. My home is small so this also handles the wifi for me.
It doesn't have to be, but it may be that it still should be the solution to that problem. It makes sense for, for example, news sites to disable comments on some stories because the comments aren't the most valuable portion of the site: the news is.

But I think that in large part the value of HN is in the comments. If HN isn't able to discuss a story productively, what's the point of that story being on HN?
I am very happy this is happening, but I remain pessimistic about this. I have been in Paris many times and even lived there for a bit. As far as cities go with job infrastructure, Paris is non functioning. The city itself is inherently flawed in job growth and management. There is a lack of variety in jobs. There ARE a variety of jobs, but the disparity between amount and desire is huge.

When I was in Paris the only people I met were those majoring in Finance, the amount of computer programmers or engineers at the universities were extremely low. Why? Because the jobs just aren't there. Paris is and has always been a hub for Money. People then majored and specialized in Money. It is where the Money is; Money is where the jobs would be.

Don't let the media blitz carry you away at the announcement of Station F, it is a media wave designed to tell people, 'look... we are diversifying our economy' as Berlin and London have also been attempting (rather... ineffectively for Germany). The media blitz is a way of telling individuals in France (and all of Europe actually) that this is where tech jobs can be found... so make the decision to major in tech.

What I imagine will happen is: many people from Eastern Europe (strong scattering of micro tech scenes without sufficient exposure) will flock to Station F to take advantage of it's proximity to all of the local funding that can be found in Paris. Paris is a place like London and New York where people park their money for expansion. Station F is just another place for these people to park their funds.

We could be seeing the beginning of a rocking station F, or, we could be seeing the beginning of a very large media hype designed to encourage diversifying the economy that will be the beginning of a very slow 'meh' Station F.

I mean... does that mean that Facebook is making 100.000% of profits because Twitter is losing money?

How is that kind of mangling of numbers useful except for stroking Apple fans?

Even though, on second thought, we should start putting "Making 1400% of profit!" on our marketing materials as well. Has a pop to it :)
"Nearly all programming languages or instruction sets for assembly languages are also coincidental interfaces (this time for programming), often (though not always) at least originally designed by some "megacorp":"

Nearly all the mainstream, massively successful ones, yes. But the vast bulk of languages are not, and there is little evidence to be provided that there is some sort of massive advantage to be gained by "normal users" for any of them. There are better ones than those for some purposes, yes, but after many thousands of languages it's not like there's one that is clearly better for non-programmers, and this after at least several dozen and probably several hundred attempts explicitly aimed at that purpose.

Asking for people to understand the math is an even larger ask than asking them to understand the programming, which I base on the fact you can still find a very significant percentage of professional programmers, possibly even the majority, who have disdain for the mathematical elements of computing.
Also consider Consul/Vault so you can leverage the remarkably uncoupled portability of envconsul: https://github.com/hashicorp/envconsul

I think the article is about employees not people in general. But they live in a dream world. As a programmer the likelihood of my livelihood vanishing any time soon is nil.

Sounds like problems with the video card drivers. In Linux, it pays to research how well hardware is supported before you buy it, especially for video and wifi. Even then, you may still benefit from looking at alternative drivers or seeing if there are xorg.conf or kernel boot time options that resolve those issues.

Whether it's worth the trouble of tracking down arcane options to get your system working optimally is up to you. For most people it's not worth the effort, so there are relatively few of us running Linux on the desktop. If you're willing to put in the time and effort (and you happen to have compatible hardware) it is possible to get a system that matches or exceeds proprietary software desktops. Just be prepared to start all over again when you upgrade to the next version of Ubuntu.

(guessing here)

The downvotes are not because of the word "project", or anything in the two first sentences. Its because you called people "as siding with the bigots" because they disagree.

There is also some extrapolation that result in insults. Are anti-religion people bigots? Are Egalitarianism bigots because they don't agree with new feminism? Is the illegal vs legal-immigration discussions bigotry?
Calling the OpenWRT project dead sounds like hyperbole to me. As I write this, both OpenWRT and its package repository have had commits in the last day. That doesn't sound like a dead project to me.

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt
https://github.com/openwrt/packages

I get that there is some strife, but calling OpenWRT dead would appear to be very very premature. FWIW I build OpenWRT from source and for the past few months have not been using CVS. I don't know the story behind it, but it looks like all development has moved to Github.
> There are millions of acres of farmland sitting dormant in the USA.

However in the higher energy cost future the production, processing, and distribution of that farm product to a far away base of consumers is not viable. The various direct and indirect subsidies and availability of relatively cheap fuel, which is itself subsidized, make it possible to get fresh foods to urban consumers. It seems like a smart play to plan for arcologies or reuse of decayed urban cores around food production.
They provide camoflauge. If homebrew did not exist, such products could be uncontroversially classified as piracy tools, allowing Nintendo to aggressively remove them from the market. Instead they are in a bittorrent-like situation where even though the vast majority of the use is for copyright infringing activity, there is a loud minority that use it for something legal, and all the pirates pretend to be in that minority when accused of breaking the law.

This culture of "homebrew" truly blossomed during the DS era with a huge number of commercially produced rewriteable cartridges, and 3DS piracy is largely a continuation of that.

It does imply that the user is not (sufficiently) aware of the difference between a browser and a for-profit search engine. It's a type of behaviour that makes people dependent on a service where no dependency is needed. Also, how many of these users are both aware that they are sharing large parts of their browsing behaviour with Google and are okay with that?
Stuff like that happens all the time. Totally stumped by something because the path forward simply doesn't occur to me.

Computer technologists differ from 'everybody else' in that, they keep trying until they succeed. In other words, you don't lose until you give up. In fact as a consultant its really my job to struggle through issues to the conclusion. My critical value is that they can waste my time with stuff like that instead of their own employees.
I'm an American senior developer who also happens to be fluent in French. I would kill to work in Paris, but every time I have looked the rates for senior engineers were 1/3 what you're describing and there's no way I'm moving for that.
They don't force upgrade. With iOS 6, new update is downloaded automatically and it's not possible to remove this update, so you're wasting quite a lot of precious disk space (but if you jailbreak, you can remove this update).

Also I'm not sure that it's possible to do factory reset and stay on old version. But as long as you don't do that and don't press "upgrade", you'll be fine.
See the paper "Change bursts as defect predictors" by Nagappan et al. and other papers by the authors.
Respond in English, yes. Will they simultaneously be annoyed? Yes.
Another long term trend is reducing risk adjusted ROI. If a rich person get's say 0.1% above inflation before taxes wealth will simply become vastly less useful over time. Because it's really compound interest not wealth that controls our society.

Honestly, if food, energy, medicine, housing, transportation, and non branded stuff all becomes cheaper due to automation we may see a more friendly society. People will still compete in games if nothing else, but seeing the cycle of good grades to good school to good job to better job to retire and make art with you spare time is pointless if you can just 'retire' and make art out of the gate.

PS: Remember modern capitalism is still a very young system, it's unlikely to be stable long term.
Rising after the jobs they are rising on are filled by robots? The "rising middle class" is not some abstract guarantee upon which we can rely regardless of what happens, it is a result of many complicated forces interacting, and we're talking about specifically nuking what is arguably the most important element of those forces.

I have migraines and every once in a blue moon I get a very interesting symptom along with it. Fully awake and cognizant I simply lose the ability to read. Even Dick and Jane become nearly insurmountable. It happens even before the pain and aura arrive, I'm fully functional, just suddenly illiterate. Its the damndest thing. It's only for a few minutes but I know what it's like to be a fully grown adult with a relatively high IQ who can't read.

Which desktop technology though - at one point (~1990) I had a login menu that prompted me to select Sunview, X or NeWS.

TWM was the first X window manager I used, I remember spending ages getting it just so - just in time for a newer fancier one to come out (probably olwm in OpenWindows) - liked mwm for a few years as well.

Producing Open Source Software
A little known fact you might find interesting: in the dark ages, 'peasants' had much more wealth in the bartering system. That is they kept more of what they produced. Except for some outbreaks of decease, it was a great time to live. Peasants were screwed over at the end of the dark ages with centralized monetary systems that sucked up the rewards from local production. Bartering often was made to be illegal, and the coin of the realm was mandated by law.
This has already been posted on HN more than one and half years ago [1] and the first edition get back to 2005. It contains updates up to early 2016 as mentioned in a few paragraphs. This book is a classical and a must go for anyone wanting to start building a strong open-source community. It covers a wide range of topics:

- Getting Started (Name, Mission, Documentation, Hosting, Code of Conduct, …)

- Technical Infrastructure (Web site, Mailing list, Version Control, Bug tracker, IRC, Wiki, …)

- Social and Political Infrastructure (Benevolent dictator, Consensus-based Democracy, …)

- Participating as a Business (Contracting, Funding, Marketing, Organization, …)

- Communications (Common pitfalls, Difficult people, Handling growth, …)

- Packaging, Releasing (Versioning, Branching, Releasing, Testing, …)

- Managing Participants (Community, Transitions, Committers, Credits, …)

- Legal Matters (Licenses, Contributors, Trademarks, Patents, …)

(This list is a subset of the Table of Contents)

It covers nearly every topic that an open-source community can be concerned about, and each section contains valuable thoughts for communities starting to wonder about a given problematic.

I read the first edition eight years ago, and I'm planning to give it another go because I realized that I've forgotten a lot of what I read. Another good excuse to read it again is that the world and tooling has also evolved quite a lot in 8 years (Github was launched 8 years ago!).

Happy reading!

Thank you. That is great advice. Especially for the techi friends who often think a fun software-side-project is relaxing.
We've seen the same with Pingdom. ISPs are (mostly) multi-homed and Pingdom might use just one (affected) route to the ISP in question and then fail badly.

If Pingdom can't get to your site, it's highly likely your users can't either.
I don't follow the logic here:

1. HVDC is not a strict requirement for submarine power lines. AC works just fine, even if less efficiently. Efficiency losses are generally offset by lower capital costs. Remember that Gibraltar strait is only 9 miles wide. In fact, there already exists a 16 mile-long 400kV AC interconnect between Morocco and Spain now.

2. Even if HVDC makes more economic sense for transmission, it won't impose any sort of "electric grid upgrade" requirement on Europe or Morocco. The HVDC line would interface to the existing grid via a HVDC converter; these are built at GW scale. There's already plenty of HVDC submarine power lines within Europe now. (Britain-Netherlands, Norway-Denmark, etc).

You may argue that new infrastructure will have to be built to distribute the added capacity, but that's a different argument.
Tinnitus may be like phantom limb: when receiving no input from a group of sensors, the system fills in for the missing information. It's like a microphone with compression: when the speaker stops talking, white noise becomes louder. Your neural system does a lot of filling in for missing sensations, most obviously in tests of what happens when bits of spoken words are removed from a recording: people perceive that the bits were in the recording by triangulating from other information that the bits had been said. Similarly, when hearing loss prevents certain frequencies to be signaled by your sound sensors, the system fills in for the lack of signal in that range. There is still research and some doubt about this theory of what is going on: https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/tinnitus
I tend to feel that this is more for parents who don't trust their kids, rather than those who do. Many parents will say, "My kids won't have a problem with this because we have trust in our family."

The truth is, if you trusted your kids, you wouldn't need the ability to obtain their exact location without having to ask for it. Parents who trust their kids will already know where their kids are supposed to be, or will just ask them.

On the other hand, I see no problem with the feature that allows you to request location and will automatically send location after a long non-response.

Of course, most kids (beyond a certain age) are going to occasionally go places their parents aren't comfortable with. This is a normal part of growing up and it shouldn't be impossible IMO. Even in particularly bad or dangerous cases, I would feel this calls for a normal punishment (maybe?). No TV, chores, etc. Not constant location tracking.
You can't grep paper.
The alternative definition "any college student with any level of reading" certainly strikes me as a straw man (granted, unintentional one). How about "average reading level of a college student"? Or "average needed to graduate college"? (I'm not saying that is the definition, but I think it's closer to what laymen assume "reading level" refers to.)
I believe something similar to this also affected systrace, leading to its deprecation. Are there any tools that can catch this sort of thing, or is it too dependent on the intent of the programmer/API designer? Maybe it's possible to have a heuristic "other uses of this structure take a lock, but this one doesn't"?
As I understand it, the whole aim of agriculture is reduced energy per unit output. The reason some US farmland lies dormant is, its slightly less productive per unit effort.

Further, any other high-tech food solution (electric boxes that grow lettuce under lights etc) is more energy-expensive. Can't bean letting Mother Nature do all the work, and just driving by later and picking up the food.

Also there is a surfeit of farmland (read: food production) in the US. Iowa produces enough calories to feed 2 United States all by itself. The feds pay to leave 10% of Iowa fallow. Not as a soil-conservation effort (though that is a result) but instead to control supply. Which is yards cheaper than trying to support prices. So that's part of it too.
The one's I have been in have all been about 400 square feet.

Level 1 or 2. They may have never been functional at level 3 (not that there is anything wrong with that).

Level 3 means that someone can consistently read and comprehend the full meaning of college-level texts. In the US, one does not need to read at this level to graduate from college (or even many grad schools).

There are many people in the world who are smart and/or very knowledgeable who don't consistently read and comprehend at level 3 across the range of topics covered in a typical college curriculum.
