It says that the dirtiest solar panels have a carbon footprint of ~70g/kWh.

Even in Germany or the US with their extremely high electricity consumption this amounts to 1 tonne of CO2 per capita annually - that's around the target footprint for sustainability.

For comparison coal has a footprint of ~880g/kWh and natural gas ~450g/kWh.

In short, solar panels are currently environmentally friendly.

It's safe to assume hardware and software is completely and totally backdoored. It's done with NSLs and co-operation of companies or compromising employees, projects, standards and other tricks which are child's play for most government agencies.

I'd argue the effective technical difference set between AMD & Intel is growing ever narrower, and aside from brand fidelity there is very little reason for a consumer to have non-moral preferences to one or the other manufacturer.
Yes, all modern AMD processors have this. But Intel processors have an equivalent ""feature"", called the Intel Management Engine (ME). So take you pick really.

A good FAQ is done by LibreBoot: https://libreboot.org/faq.html
It has a light on the front that comes on if the camera is active. Do you think most of the people who were uncomfortable were unaware of that, or didn't trust that people using it wouldn't disable the light?

The former would make a lot of sense to me. That it has a camera is obvious, and knowing how the light works requires a modicum of research. The latter, not so much, as we're back in the realm of secret recording.
The sad thing is, we can be sure, that AMD is aware of the topic at the C-level and doesn't seem to act in the interest of the customer anyway. Just remember the Reddit AMA earlier this year: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5x4hxu/we_are_amd_crea...
Not really dpdk either, though I suppose there are similarities (Disclaimer: I know very little about dpdk). Think Infiniband (IB), not ethernet. Demanding applications such as MPI libraries or Lustre are written directly against the IB verbs interface, not TCP/IP with the sockets API.

And yes, IB is designed such that the NIC HW can offload quite a lot, and the rest is indeed done in userspace without kernel involvement in the hot paths.

That being said, it's possible to run more or less the IB protocol stack on ethernet hardware, it's called ROCE (RDMA over converged ethernet). Somewhat amazingly, latency is actually quite competitive with IB.

> If so, I would change my opinion on AMD, and chose Intel instead for my next home computer.

Intel already has Intel ME.
AMD has traditionally been a more consumer-friendly vendor and there was some hope that they might differentiate themselves from intel in this way, giving people concerned about this at least one major vendor to source their parts from. Alas, that is not the case.

Right, I only copied the text from my parent comment, without checking that it actually matches the original. My point about the grammar stands, though. I think they simply wrote Chinese text using Japanese kanji.

Simplified Chinese would be "(谢绝)(中国人)" = "(politely refuse)(Chinese person)" = "(verb)(object)", which is correct Chinese grammar.

However, 謝絶 seems to be a noun/suru verb in Japanese (http://jisho.org/search/謝絶), so I think the equivalent phrase would be "(中国人)(を)(謝絶)(します)" = "(Chinese person)(object of)(polite refusal)(make)" = "(object)(particle marking object)(noun/suru verb)(inflected form of suru)".

Disclaimer: I am not a native speaker of either language and didn't have much in the way of grammar lessons, so this might all be horribly wrong. I'm definitely open to corrections ;)
What exactly do you mean when you say PCI-Express isn't cache coherent?

I would think that's dependent on the specific platform more than anything. For example, on a cache coherent architecture like the Freescale T2080, if a PCI device writes to some RAM location that's currently cached, the line automatically gets invalidated. There’s this whole “coherency fabric” thing which handles all of the snooping and interaction between the peripherals.

Neat, but your guess is wildly wrong, and you should therefore discard your conclusions. Japanese mid/high-schoolers take about as many hours of English as they do math, science, or Japanese, and most study further hours at cram schools.

The fact that very few Japanese people can speak conversation English despite an extremely rigorous education is what people are talking about here - not whether Japanese people "should" (in a normative sense) speak English, as you're trying to imply.

10 year ago the RIA (rich Internet applications) platforms were the trendy thing of the day. Microsoft had Silverlight, Adobe had Flex and so on. I made a bet on OpenLazslo, an open source contender. I made a wireframe and the snappy interface impressed a client that gave me a big project.

1 month working with OpenLazslo and PHP it became clear I would not be able to finish in time. I started searching for alternatives and was unable to finish the Rails tutorial - but after 30 minutes I had a basic CRUD app done using Django.

I ditched the RIA thing, rewrote everything in Python/Django, was able to finish that project in time and this stack is paying the rent since then.

> These days Intel's putting Omnipath on-package for Xeon Phi and Skylake. Likely it's still a PCI-Express connection, but it doesn't count against the total available lanes for external cards.

Disclaimer: I work for Pivotal, on the RabbitMQ team. We push Concourse to its limits every day. We work closely with Jenkins, GoCD, Travis & Concourse. They all have their limitations.

All things will break horribly if the conditions are right. It's unreasonable to assume that the things which work in [insert your current CI] will work in Concourse. It's still a new and relatively immature product, but it works well in most cases.

Half the secret to a good Concourse experience is not upgrading it in-place - stand up fresh deployments. The other half is gradually transitioning between Concourse deployments, because bad versions have been and will continue to be released - mistakes are only human. As long as you share the Concourse vision and are willing to keep up with the pace of change - not everyone can or wants to - then it's an amazing CI.

Concourse still makes me excited, even after many years of hard lessons, because it is a genuinely innovative approach to building better software. Most miss this, and I understand why, but give it time - the ideas behind it will mature and become the norm.

Even though Concourse can work really well, it's not always the best choice. Make it better if you can & want to, use something else if it's easier. There is no right or wrong, just preferences : )

Actually that particular C++ was very well written. It had been written by a single very disciplined person over 3 years, following a lot of very strict conventions.

So, no it was not really messy in there. But it was big and memory leaks are hard to find.

> I do not see how a caching at ORM level could give any benefit.

I don't know anything about the Python libraries as such but if they implement pluggable modules like memcache, redis, SysV SHM, etc., for the caching, then you can chop and change as required without having to make any application level changes[1]. Which is also handy for testing because you can supply your own mock cache module to do ... whatever.

[1] A good example would be going from "direct DB access" to "global memcache" to "local memcache backed by global memcache" - all without application changes.
