This is much more powerful than forever. It is a higher level tool. Forever is just here to make your script start again after a crash. This looks like a complete production deployment tool.

And it seems great.

One of the problems newcomers face when starting with node is the deployment of apps. Currently, if you try to search for "the right way", you will find many different methods ranging from custom scripts, modifying your application in some way, to external tools like upstart and monit. Of course, if you use a PaaS solution like heroku, cloudfoundry or similar, some of this problems go away.

All this deployment possibilities are great, in their own way. Pm2 is not here to replace them. It is here to give you a good production ready solution without much hassle. You want to publish your app? Use pm2. If you are facing a larger project, with many special details, then you might consider a custom solution for deployment.

Personally, I am planning to try this out for various smaller apps that need to be up 'n running, but don't have time to setup proper production environments and maintain all those environments.

All of these "solutions" fail somewhere because some system does it differently. Why can't one just use #!bash or #!python and have the system just look on the path for it?

The more you study archaeology and ancient history, the more you realize that humans really aren't apt to change. The outward appearance of human behaviour is different (we work different jobs, eat different food, have different institutions), but we have the same social tendencies we did 7000 years ago.

As for our supposed decline in violence, it's mostly due to technological advancements which have allowed us to have more resources at our disposal, and an efficient international market to trade them. Our nature is no less violent, our circumstances are merely better.

I get almost 10 minimum wages with 24 and I think that I'm underpaid(and I am...). I was making WAY MORE money working as a freelancer than working for a company here but it seems that people(and the government) only respect who is employed by a company, otherwise I will never be able to buy a car or a house with a loan. Our government sucks.

College on Brazil is alright, the problem is with research culture -- horribly bad. Teachers on universities are rated by how much shit they published instead of the quality of their work.

The academic field is very bad for anybody wanting to study something advanced but at least in computer science, being a undergrad is just fine. You learn the same shit that the MIT does, the problem is 1. the people of your class, 2. your teachers don't do anything interesting to inspire you.

I have interviewed a number of candidates over the phone in the past. In my case, being good on the phone to customers was a hard job requirement. But if the job hadn't required the successful candidate to use the phone at all, then I don't think I would have had a problem with the candidate suggesting alternatives.

The hardest thing though is that interviewers are generally all different, and they have to be opinionated in order to be able to make hiring decisions. So you're taking a risk regardless, and have to judge the trade-off in going off the standard path for yourself.

In this situation I would have expected the candidate to offer suggestions in what to do instead, particularly because I cannot expect to understand his or her reasons in detail. If you want to seek an alternative, you should ask questions to find out exactly what the interviewer is hoping to gain from a phone interview, and be prepared with an appropriate set of alternatives to suggest with the interviewer's goals in mind. Use email, online chat, or whatever else you want that isn't too inconvenient for the interviewer. Try not to stretch out the conversation too long out in time.

Robert Birgeneau, the chancellor emeritus of Berkeley, spoke at a fundraising event I attended and said something I thought was poignant:

"The University of California has gone from being a state-funded institution, to a state-sponsored institution, to a state-located institution."

The level at which the State of California funds the university is practically nothing at this point. Alumni donations have filled some gaps but don't nearly cover everything. Tuition has increased to the point where even I, who graduated in 2006, consider it ridiculous. It is now over 8 times the maximum semester tuition I paid.

I can't imagine considering Berkeley a "great value" anymore, as I did when I was there considering the (excellent) quality of education versus the price. It used to be a sense of pride; that a public university could be so great, to prove the experiment, to show that society could produce academic excellence without falling to the vices of money and the divisions that come with it. Now that experiment has failed, and only those who believe in it strongly—the Alumni and supporters—are upholding it, but that's not sustainable.

We need to grow up. This fantasy of American individualism is killing us. We need to grow up and learn how to share—and this is the worst part: as we once did.

As long as we're going to argue semantics, a "species" is a set of animals who can reproduce with each other.

Dogs are all still dogs, despite the massive genetic changes we've imposed on the various breeds. They can all still interbreed.

I really don't expect humans to accept genetic modifications that make their offspring reproductively incompatible with the rest of humanity. So speciation seems unlikely.

The reason for this explosion in cost, is the Feds began fully subsidizing the cost of a college education. Colleges then had the green light to perpetually raise prices - even in the depths of the great recession - they knew Uncle Sam would cover the bill. Education costs have had no connection to reality because you could get a government backed loan for it. When you see an entire industry, with plenty of competition amongst schools, disconnecting from reality, you can almost always bet the government is involved in the cost inflation.

Colleges then took that massive influx of government sponsored cash and put it to work funding their bureaucracies, building an endless parade of buildings they didn't actually need, significantly boosting professor pay, and accumulating substantial endowments.

Meanwhile the actual education - their product - did not get more valuable. At a time of terrible economic performance, with 14% real unemployment, falling incomes, and lack of jobs post graduation, clearly the cost of an education should have fallen by quite a lot. It didn't because of a guaranteed loan back stop.

There is talk now that students should pay the same low interest rates on their debt that banks pay when they borrow money. If that is put into effect, all it will do is accelerate the debt accumulation. It'll enable students to borrow more, and colleges will accordingly charge more. This government fueled scheme can only end in tears (bailouts).

The comment is sexist, by "I have 2000 Yahoo shares", he means "I have power over you"

But what does this have to do with gender?

"I'm a dirty old man and you look attractive", could be interpreted as "I don't respect your power over me, you're just a woman and all you can do is be pretty", which is an attempt at debasement.

I'm struggling to fully understand the article due to the poor Google Translation. Anyone offer some concise clarification as to what ABP is actually doing? Is it "just" that they are changing Amazon referral links on websites to their own referral links so they get money instead, or is there more to it than that? Are they even actually doing that? (Or is it just that they aren't blocking referral links made with software by one of ABP's creators?)

Break and continue are only an issue if you have large loop blocks. By separating the code in lots of small meaningful functions, break and continue will not reduce readability, and the whole code will be more developer friendly.
Doesn't the experiment just show that Apple is storing the iMessages in some form that they can decrypt? The article mentions iCloud backup - it's possible iCloud takes a copy of decrypted messages first. This might be feasible given it has to back up SMS messages too.

Perhaps a better experiment would be to see if messages are readable after a restore (with and without password changes) if the device isn't backed up to iCloud.

Artima wrote an article describing how the use of traits (along with other scala features) can contribute to increased compile times.[1]

FTFA:
"... the compile time cost of mixing in a trait compared to extending a superclass likely exists because the compiler must insert forwarding methods for all the methods declared in the trait into the body of the subclass when mixing in, but when extending a superclass it does not. Instead, the subclass simply inherits the superclass implementations of those methods. We did observe that the larger the number of methods to be mixed in the more the compile time was increased."

Well, that’s the part we don’t want to talk about anymore.

That's not true at all: college costs are constantly discussed. The book Why Does College Cost So Much is the most comprehensive treatment of the issue I've seen, and it argues that the main driver of college costs is Baumol's Cost Disease.

It’s that taxpayers back then picked up 90 percent of the tab. We weren’t Horatio Algers. We were socialists.

Universities like the University of Washington are also in a spending arms race: universities are increasing their per-student spending, even in the face of falling state spending: http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2013/06/04/public_univer... .

A side note: Danny Westneat is something of a joke among people who read the Seattle Times, and it's a mistake to take almost anything he writes seriously. He's the sort of pious liberal that makes intellectually minded and honest liberals crazy because of his tendency to repeat various kinds of half-truths. This is a good example: he's right that if Washington picked up 90% of UW's tab, tuition would be cheaper.

But it's also true that if he'd read more, and read more about the people who actually study this issue, he'd have a more complete picture of the situation. You'll learn more reading this comment than reading his column.

While I don't agree with the status quo, if your labor isn't worth $15 an hour to someone (mainly because someone else is perfectly willing to do the work for less) then they don't have a moral obligation to pay you more, and minimum wage laws only artificially constrict the limits of what the value of unskilled labor is.

I'd rather see a basic income guarantee (mainly for creative people like artists or FOSS developers) and the removal of minimum wage, so businesses can correct the true value of labor in various fields.

It would help eliminate the rampant service industry that destroys souls because most people don't have the fortitude to deal with random strangers idiocy.

Regarding Plesk/CPanel you might consider looking at the open-source project we released:

http://symbiosis.bytemark.co.uk/

As you can see it is thoroughly documented and allows you to create websites and mailboxes via SFTP. For example to create the hosting for the site "example.com", and some mailboxes you'd run:

mkdir -p /srv/example.com/public/htdocs
mkdir -p /srv/example.com/config
echo "ftp-pass" > /srv/example.com/config/ftp-password

mkdir /srv/example.com/mailboxes/bob
echo "secret" > example.com/mailboxes/bob/password

Built around Debian Squeeze, iwth wheezy support in the future, it is a modular series of packages for IMAP, POP3, Webmail, Website hosting, with utilities for SSL, etc, too.

Adding a control panel would be trivial, but we tend to assume folk will login via ssh/sftp.

> Our nature is no less violent, our circumstances are merely better.

Even if that's true, it has the same effect in the end.

"Put people in a better environment, and they will behave better" is a radical, pro-progress statement that would have been unrecognizable to most societies.

We're so infected with the progress meme that even people here arguing against it keep implicitly granting some of its premises.
Mehran Karimi Nasseri's story is often misreported - he was free to leave the airport for a long time but was prevented from doing so by suspected mental illness. His eventual hospitalization finally removed him from the terminal building during which time his makeshift home was dismantled. I don't think those circumstances really apply to Snowden's case.
I met with him recently and chatted one-on-one for an hour about Australia's broadband policy. I was very impressed by his technical knowledge as well as the manner in which he communicated it.

He spends a lot of time on Whirlpool (Australian broadband forums) and interacts with the community. I feel a sorry regarding how the media is almost universally anti-NBN (National Broadband Network). The current uptake rates for the NBN are impressive: hockey stick, yet the media go on about asbestos or whatever gets more views / clicks.

On the Labor side of politics I don't think there's anybody that could continue championing the NBN like he has.
A third point notable in its absence, is that religion, freedom, American two party voting, all of it exists to control, pacify the masses. Only the dumbest of the masses believe.

The purpose of the two party political system is to keep the masses calm, make them think they have an input. They don't, of course. But it calms them. Writing a book about how voters choice and free will doesn't really exist is pointless. The opiate of the masses sometimes causes hallucinations, who cares as long as the right people stay in power.

The situation is identical with religion, or "moral progress" or the articles example of militarism in Austria a long time ago.

Our technology for distracting and redirecting away large masses of humans from their own self interest has never been better.

You could summarize the pointlessness of the discussion to something like the whip doesn't exist so don't fear it's lash... Well who cares if it exists or not, if the only reason our culture talks about the lash of the whip, is to control the masses?

This individual TV commercial sucks. We could change the channel on the global TV system to a different channel, but its got the same general set of commercials. Or we could hit commercial skip, whoops it seems to be nothing but an infomercial channel. Maybe the system sucking is the actual lesson, not that one individual TV commercial sucks.
Not just filter proposals, but an unremitting dedication to censorship, including support of some very dodgy blacklists.

I'm sure he did some fine work regarding not getting in the way of the NBN, but the censorship is what he'll be remembered for.
It would work the same way police car cameras work now: if it caught the government breaking the law the footage would simply get lost somehow. If you stream it to some service, the PRISM group would see it and force the site to remove it.
They are also allegedly not filtering a set of white-listed ads, most of which come from companies that pay 30% of their ad revenue to the company behind AdBlock Plus.

1) I paid for my own college and know others as well. I also know many people whose parents paid for their college. Guess who earns more out of this admittedly small sample? When you have to shoulder your own education you make many more money-making decisions, so that poetry degree from $200k school doesn't look so hot.

2) It's not that frugal, that's my point, here's the budget I put together, which still has luxuries like cable tv, smart phones, and $250 a month for going out. https://www.budgetsimple.com/budget/DKwEDsxt

Assumptions- You own your house outright, you own a car outright. There are other costs like property taxes and car repairs, but with $500 savings per month, those should be easily covered in a year.

EDIT- It's also worth noting, we're talking about income solely from dividends on $800k. Once your kids are going to college if you want to help them out, you have 800k (plus the $500 in savings per month to help them.)
agreed.

i think the most important takeaway here is that the reactionary press release "Apple’s Commitment to Customer Privacy" was very carefully worded to give the customer a sense of security. it's definitely not telling the full story, but it serves its purpose of reassuring a concerned user base.

How fast would we have to orbit if Jupiter were that close?

EDIT: Is Io closer to Jupiter than the moon is to Earth (I believe I answered this myself, I think the we would be closer in this picture by ~100,000km)? What would be the tidal effects of the depicted picture? Would we be tidally locked? I assume volcanic activity and earthquakes would at least increase and I imagine be catastrophic (if it would hypothetically replace the moon with all orbital mechanics updated to sustain a stable orbit).
I would have to say that they are both true. We are, I believe, at a peak in our moral cycle. You're hemmed in by your narrow, human lifespan perspective.

How has science altered human behavior? We still lie, cheat, steal, and kill. Civilization is a thin veneer, and one that can be stripped away in a calamity.
