Even then, it's not a net loss to the environment.

Coal is an energy dense naturally occurring product. The environmental damage from coal relates to mining, shipping and burning it. The environmental benefits of coal are that extraction, transport and burning doesn't happen to other things - ie, biomass, otherwise known as timber.

England has more forest now than it has for centuries, because a more energy dense substitute for energy was extracted (coal). In many developing countries, access to coal would be a net benefit, because it would reduce clearing and burning of vegetation, and because the ensuing affordable energy allows for more intensive food production, and the keeping of food inventories, further lessening the pressure on the environment.

Of course, everything that applies to coal also applies to natural gas even more so, and obviously to fusion even more than that. But this meme of 'coal is evil and must be stopped' ignores the reality of the situation and completely ignores the benefits of efficient energy production, especially in the case where real, persistent and preventable environmental damage is taking place because there is a lack of efficient energy productin.
I hope developers make good use of the changes to the title bar. It completely breaks the flow of the design of a lot of apps, and kills precious vertical space on my 13-inch MBP. A keyboard shortcut to toggle the menu bar would've been nice too. Neither of those would be big issues if it weren't for the slow, eye-melting, completely superfluous fullscreen animations though.
> more recently I seem to have decided to no longer greet my husband

This is the most interesting part. When you're dating someone, there are defined parts of the day where you start-and-then-stop interacting with them, so there are greetings exchanged, etc. When you're married (or in a very steady relationship), it's more like one continuous conversation; since it never ends, it never has to begin again.

If you hadn't read yet, read the original Paul Graham essay on this: http://www.paulgraham.com/ds.html

The idea is part you must do whatever it takes to have your first users/clients and keep growing from there (as the guy from Teespring says) and part is that you must first know what to scale.

Sure, startup = growth, no one starts a startup without imagining it will grow a lot. But that is why this advice is particular powerful, because, as PG says for a lot of things on startups, it is counter-intuitive.

So the advice is more about doing things that don't scale until you actually reach product/market fit (which means "Make sure your retention flat lines at the appropriate level.", as said by Alex Schultz in his lecture); you should do things that don't scale.

But, sure, when you focus in big growth and scale, yes, then you start scaling stuff.

PS: I really sound like the ass-kissing student on your class who repeats everything teachers said before to look good. But I really think al of it makes sense.

It's not that a container can't run multiple processes, but Docker will itself only start one process.
If you use, for instance, Apache with the forking MPM, this will work as expected (it'll work).

If you want to start multiple separate processes, then you'll need to use some sort of init system. This is not really any different than Linux itself.
correction: pre installed and NO sim tool
For an easy example, consider the following function:

int next(int x) { return x + 1; }

This invokes undefined behavior in the case where x = INT_MAX. Yet if this produced a compile-time diagnostic, it would be tremendously irritating and generally useless. Worse than useless, as it would swamp real diagnostics.
There are many threads, but threads are not isolated by the OS to the same extent as processes; hence, their fates are all intertwined. The user can't kill one misbehaving thread, and even if you could, you couldn't expect the program to be stable afterward.
Fundamentally, there is a trade-off between anonymity and temporal correlation.

In order to be relatively fast at web browsing, Tor compromises some of the possible anonymity (by exposing itself to timing attacks and other such correlation attacks by people who own large numbers of nodes). The Tor project admits as much in their threat model.

There have been a number of other attempts (of which the early email mixes come to mind) that take the other stance, and take efforts to break traffic correlation/timing attacks by adding latency and batching to their propagation of messages.

The question of "better" depends on what your threat model is and what tradeoffs you're willing to make.

Keep in mind however that using a LiveCD means that you will lose your guard nodes, which may make it easier for an attacker to deanonymize you over time.

I really don't like the new design. The dock bar looks weird to name one thing, also the new buttons, bars and the window design is just ugly and plain (it feels like a Linux flavour trying to look like OS X designed by someone's neighbour's kid) - don't let me even mention the folder icons. Photoshop stalled once but that's the only quirck I've had in the past 2 weeks of using the beta so that's not too bad. Design wise however, I don't feel like this is a good replacement. Have to admit that iOS 7 did grow on me and I felt the same about that back then but I don't think the same will happen in this case.
I do not thing equality is the right goal yet. For the time being it is active anti-discrimination and this means sometimes we have to discriminate to the advantage of generally disadvantaged groups. As a white male I have also found it annoying witnessing such anti-discrimination induced discrimination in the past, but I now see the reason why it is needed.
They are going for a visual language, and visual languages are inherently hierarchal. The goal is to easily represent context of any part of a program in a visual way.

Trying to map source-code that stores a lot of it's context on the stack is really hard to visually represent. Trying to represent the stack in a visual way makes for a icky looking visual language.

However, if you can keep all of the context/state of your program in one area and it is hierarchal... Then, you can build great visual representations of your program because, really, you are displaying a data-structure (your program becomes a data-structure). So, all the cool things you can do visually representing data-structures, you can do with your actual program.

parallel_rspec and parallel_cucumber, so more cores are helpful.

How well do parallel_rspec and parallel_cucumber use all cores?

I was a little dismayed by the move from 4 to 2 cores as well, since I was looking at using the new Mac Mini as a server. Was hoping for a max of 32GB of RAM for the server as well.

Now, though? I'm thinking of this as a development machine. I think the higher single-core performance might just make it faster than the old 2.2ghz quad-cores in my 2011MBP and the old Mini....

Anyone know how to turn off the Macbook pro screen with the lid open while using external monitors? On Mavericks this worked just fine:

http://gizmodo.com/5938452/a-trick-to-make-using-an-external...

Now no dice... anyone know a way to keep the screen off with the lid open?

To execute in Terminal:

sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0"

To undo in Terminal:

sudo nvram -d boot-args

Once you type it into terminal I believe you need to enter your password. I then restart my machine. Now the TRICK is to either restart your machine with the lid already closed (hit restart then slam the lid!) OR turn the machine on for the first time (then quickly slam the lid!) once you are past the login screen you can open the lid.
>Nowhere near 100%. Most people pay their taxes not because they're rationally responding to threat of force but because they think it's the right thing to do.

As a thought experiment, imagine that taxation became completely voluntary tomorrow. What percentage of its former revenue does the government make?

Suddenly, the government has to compete with other entities for money. Government doesn't know the competition game, so how well would it fare? It would be an interesting experiment, though it would undoubtedly cause some short-term chaos.
"Wealth redistribution doesn't necessarily mean taking money/wealth, literally, from wealthy and giving it away to poor. "

Continue following up with both the company and the bank. If it is urgent, I would also let your supervisor at the company know, because the HR trolls who run this stuff at big companies are usually incompetent, and a pissed off manager at the company is more likely to be able to produce results from them than you are. (And any manager should be pissed off that employees or contractors are not being paid promptly.)
The original Tor proposal has a pretty good summary of the threats they do and don't deal with, and other sections cover the project goals and how they address these threats.

> A global passive adversary is the most commonly assumed threat when analyzing theoretical anonymity designs. But like all practical low-latency systems, Tor does not protect against such a strong adversary. Instead, we assume an adversary who can observe some fraction of network traffic; who can generate, modify, delete, or delay traffic; who can operate onion routers of his own; and who can compromise some fraction of the onion routers.

> In low-latency anonymity systems that use layered encryption, the adversary's typical goal is to observe both the initiator and the responder. By observing both ends, passive attackers can confirm a suspicion that Alice is talking to Bob if the timing and volume patterns of the traffic on the connection are distinct enough; active attackers can induce timing signatures on the traffic to force distinct patterns. Rather than focusing on these traffic confirmation attacks, we aim to prevent traffic analysis attacks, where the adversary uses traffic patterns to learn which points in the network he should attack.

> Our adversary might try to link an initiator Alice with her communication partners, or try to build a profile of Alice's behavior. He might mount passive attacks by observing the network edges and correlating traffic entering and leaving the network — by relationships in packet timing, volume, or externally visible user-selected options. The adversary can also mount active attacks by compromising routers or keys; by replaying traffic; by selectively denying service to trustworthy routers to move users to compromised routers, or denying service to users to see if traffic elsewhere in the network stops; or by introducing patterns into traffic that can later be detected. The adversary might subvert the directory servers to give users differing views of network state. Additionally, he can try to decrease the network's reliability by attacking nodes or by performing antisocial activities from reliable nodes and trying to get them taken down — making the network unreliable flushes users to other less anonymous systems, where they may be easier to attack. We summarize in Section 7 how well the Tor design defends against each of these attacks.

Backstabbing is a natural and expected part of the game. Anyone who's played more than once knows that you cannot expect to go through a whole game without being stabbed.

Most of the strategy revolves around predicting when, not if, your ally of convenience will backstab you, and how long you can afford to trust them before you'll need to stab first.

It's nice to see these things popping up. I've used similar web interfaces before and they're great. Diplomacy is best played with the full complement of 7 players, and 7 is an awkward number of people to get together for a game that can last up to 3 hours, but see 1-2 people eliminated in the first hour.
Flipping the races (or sexes) around in a statement is often fascinating. Statements that seem benign turn out to be highly racist or sexist, and vice versa.

Cool services. It helps to have some context like this.
As a Colorado resident, I was curious about how Mark Udall, Senator Wyden's Intelligence Committee ally, would do. He's up for re-election, after a 6-year term with no noticeable Colorado kerfuffles or scandals. Ordinarily, a shoo-in, you'd think. Yet he trails in the polls, and hasn't raised nearly as much money as his opponent, a first-term tea party Congressman. I suspect the NSA's (or CIA's) heavy hand in the election. I've been wondering when Greenwald would leak that the NSA/CIA/TLA was actually tinkering with US elections. Maybe that's the upcoming leak.

The writer doesn't seem to understand the concept of natural rights. They aren't inalienable because we declare them to be so, they are inalienable because it's actually impossible to deny people these rights.

The First Amendment protects individual expression, for example, because it’s in society’s best interest to have a robust debate—not because each person has a right to say what he or she thinks simply by virtue of being human.

In reality, by virtue of having the ability to speak, humans do have a right to say whatever they want. Oppressive regimes can certainly take steps to punish people for speaking their minds, but it's pretty difficult to stop someone from voicing an opinion in the first place.

So the right to make copies was imagined by the Framers as a way to encourage the writing of books by individuals for the good of an educated citizenry. But, if you are a natural-rights person and you think that individual rights are inalienable, then you don’t recognize the priority of the public domain. You think that society has no claim on works created by individuals.

Once an individual chooses to share an idea, anyone who has that idea can naturally share it. Copyright is not an inalienable right.
I know resolution has gone up. I didn't say otherwise. I can also read small text.

Neither of those points is an argument against what I claimed. I was stating that resolution has gone up, along with screen sizes, but that the default text rendering size has not gotten any smaller (i.e. they're not putting more stuff on the screen).
You'd have to know the source code quite intimately to answer that. My hunch is that when it slows down, what you'd see under the covers is a tangled mess of locks and some kind of leaking resource(s). If the tabs were more isolated, you'd be able to at least kill the ones most responsible and the others would survive. Chrome consciously chose to isolate tabs in separate processes; having more explicit separation probably discourages tangled dependency chains and that might be the best explanation for why, even though you could, you don't have to resort to actually killing processes that often.
