"Air is taken in through vents in the nose cone of the turbine and then heated by a generator to make steam. The steam goes through a cooling compressor that creates moisture which is then condensed and collected."

Um what?? Why are they heating air? And you don't make steam if you heat air.

That's either a huge typo, or whoever wrote that has no idea what they are talking about. Maybe they tried to summarize the source without understanding it?

You could either cool the air to condense the water, or compress the air, which heats it temporarily, then you cool it back down and collect the water. It's ideal to recover the energy either way though and this process doesn't seem to do that.

And in any case what does this have to do with a wind turbine? This is basically a de-humidifyer. You can power those with anything - wind, electricity, gasoline.

I suggest they use the wind turbine to make electricity, and then power the de-humidifyer from that. That way you can pick and choose what you want to power, and you can power the de-humidifyer from something else when necessary.

BTW the link they have on the words "simple process" in fact has nothing whatsoever to do with this process. Who writes this stuff? Someone who never learned any science?

Don't take words so binary. That's the big problem of most languages. That's something like that:

If I see I have so big job to do I have problem to start, procrasinate. What does it mean? Obviously I'm lazy, isn't it?

At the same time if I see nice way to make easier some complex stuff I do frequently I do it, find it exciting, enjoyable and I don't procrastinate. So? I'm unlazy at the same time. That's the effect of being inteligent and lazy at the same time.

Maybe he could have used better words to describe that, but It wouldn't tell the people that lazyness may be advantage as well, because such lazy code is so nice. Time saving is not only thing. Such lazy code tends to be so DRY, as he wrote and as code is DRYer it is more readable as well.

About dumb, it's very similar. Guy you ask so elementar questions. It's all so obvious. So many people would say he's dumb, even take it personaly.

If he doesn't use word dumb, that fact wouldn't be emphasized so nice.
I was a bit young to make the most of Ceefax/Teletext but the one thing I truly loved and read many times a week for years was Digitiser on Channel 4's Teletext service.

It was a magazine about computer games, written in a fantastically stupid manner, full of daft jokes and innuendos and presented by a set of rather offensive characters (Fat Sow and Insincere Dave being my favourites).

The 'limited' graphics added to it, in my opinion. It was also, probably the only set of pages to make good use of the reveal button.
The new courses look great, but what's the point of offering even more courses when they can't even start the announced ones (i.e. Anatomy)?
I'm not sure what I have learned here or why this is important to be mentioned here. Guy is leaving Big Corp (TM) and moving to San Francisco to build stuff. He says some nice things about said company and that's it. So, what else?

Microsoft's master plan to beat Apple and Google
A few things to think about. This isn't advice, they are questions that might help you think about the right things.

If you can't apply yourself to studying things that you're not totally fascinated by (but which might be useful in ways you can't yet imagine) what makes you think you'll be able to deal with the tedious parts of freelancing, like finding clients, tracking your time, invoicing, bookkeeping, tax returns, documentation, and half a hundred tedious other tasks?

Where is your portfolio? What are your skills? You talk about teaching yourself JavaScript, PHP and Ruby, what is it that you can do already?

Where are you going to get your clients from? How much will you charge them? What is your expected cash-flow? How will you support yourself while looking for you first 20 gigs?

There's more, but I'm certainly not going to offer advice or opinions until I know more about who you are and what you can do. Even then, why are you seeking validation from a group of strangers? I would guess that you've made up your mind, and are asking the question of people who you know, en masse, to be anti-formal education.

Or have I got that wrong?

So my suggestion is this: write a proper blog post outlining your plans, and pointing at work you've done. Then let people critique that.

And yes, sometimes there is a point in doing stuff you don't enjoy. I don't enjoy invoicing, bookkeeping, or doing my tax return, just to give three examples. In truth, I don't much enjoy eating either, but that's a different story.
This post is going to baffle a lot of US readers. I moved to Ireland in 2006 and had never seen anything like ceefax (it's Aertel in Ireland). I love how old school it is--feels like a early 80's video game.

Streams are nice but in my experience there aren't many modules that let you use them. Most networking protocol modules will only let you specify a hostname and port to connect to, and not pass a stream to use. That's fine for the common case, but maybe I want to do something fun like send data encrypted with ssl, which is encoded using base 64, then stuffed in a dns query, then tunnelled over socks, via a unix pipe (and receive the reply via a completely different stack). It wouldn't be hard to chain streams together to achieve that, but then I'd have to rewrite modules to actually use it.

Even nodes own http module only does standard tcp. If it supported arbitrary streams then it'd be much more flexible, and we wouldn't need to do things like use a separate module to support https.

The same with the server part of these modules. They normally only let you specify a tcp port to listen to. Ideally there should be some sort of "stream server" interface that automatically sets up the stream chain and emits a connection event. The module could then listen for that event and use the corresponding stream for transferring the data. That way the module would be completely independent of the underlying protocol.

Funny thing is, that the Telegraph uses Disqus for their comments. Something that "Ghostery" is blocking in my browser, because it can track me on all the pages, that use Disqus. So I am not able to comment on the post, to tell them what I think about their double standards.

There are DoubleClick, AdSense, Webtrends and so on... All in all there are 11 potential tracking systems working behind the Telegraph page. And they tell users about the situation in the EU regarding the coming "cookie law".

The point is that this centralization is within an org boundary, not across networks.

Today, to do this, you may need to configure several switches, routers, between the server, and the source & dest of traffic to the server, while not being able to globally optimize.

Depending on security considerations, it may even preclude certain servers from being in certain racks, based on the switch it is connected through.
That's pretty much what Pry provides for Ruby.

It might not be as polished as the Smalltalk tools yet, but there's no inherent problem doing this with Ruby. There might be some things you can't do in pure Ruby, such as perhaps replacing a class pointer to actually change the class of an object, but low level hackery like that is easily enough done with a small C extension - I've poked around in MRI's C-level view of the object model before and it's pretty simple.

I had this idea in high school! I thought it wouldn't work in the desert though, or surely it would already have been tried.

Basically, we were reading about just how difficult it is to get water out of saltwater in coastal communities, and the massive power costs involved, and I just thought, "well, we sometimes have to use a dehumidifier at home, and I know that that runs on the mains power and could generate easily enough water for two or three of us to survive. Coastal environments have very wet air, so just let the Sun act on the ocean to do the hard part of desalination, and we reap the benefits of clean water?"

I gave up because I'd calculated that this would also probably cost more money than poor coastal areas had, but yeah, wind turbines have grown amazingly in the past several years and the principle is pretty sound. (It is not clear what the longer-term environmental impact would be, but it's possible that if we deploy too many of these things, inland droughts could become more severe due to lack of cloud formation.)

I'm glad to see that someone has paired renewable energy and automatic solar evaporation with the problem of desalination. Well worth some charity money, though the company as it stands appears to be for-profit. Would be nice to see if a charity could set some of these up in Wajir, Kenya, as a politically safer experiment towards deploying them into the drought-ridden Jubaland in Somalia.
I signed up for the Calculus one. Its an area which I learned by rote in secondary school, and found that when I came to use some of this stuff in college I was lacking. Hopefully when I am doing it because I want to I can further my knowledge in the area.

I think your numbers are off. 200 gigalitres would provide for 27 million people at 20 litres per day.

If that plant can last 30 years as well, discounting any maintenance, that's $4.8/person/year.

And, tangentially, desalination plants need salt water, so only works near the coast. The wind-turbine would work anywhere, regardless of the distance to the coast.

Ruby is a language, not an environment. So why are you comparing Smalltalk environment to a language? (this applies largely to the original article as well - if you want to compare languages, compare languages; if you want to compare environments, compare environments).

There are Ruby environments that provide fairly deep introspection and live changes to a system, like Pry. It's just not the main way of doing things. For a reason: It's not the way most developers are used to working.

The switching hardware is ASIC based and super optimized with CAM based switching on VLAN tags, destination addresses, etc. 1U switch could have 36 ports @ 1Gbps, and needs to switch 36Gbps within the switch, and perhaps 10Gbps upstream.

There was another way of getting programs from the TV used at the same time. A lightpen was attached to the TV screen and a flashing white square in the bottom right corner of the screen was used to transmit a program (a binary stream) through the lightpen and onto the micro.

Part of what has put Google in their position as the gatekeeper is that the perception of being balanced and neutral. If search was more overtly biased, Bing would step in as the neutral player.
