More than one link to the Linux Journal article with comment thread has been locked and hidden, and a previous link to the link we're commenting on now. I'm sure this one will be dead soon too. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7984456. hckrnews.com shows dead threads in gray. Weird, no?
I saw it on the HN homepage some moments ago, I guess the mods hid it for some reason?
