"One of their functions, which Wall Streeters call arbitrage, was to try to buy power at a low price in one place and sell it at a higher price somewhere else."

Worked great for Enron.
Also, China's energy is cheap because 75% of their grid is powered by burning coal. He doesn't mention climate change at all in this article.

The idea was that the image URL could just be a number between 0 and 100 and the app would handle translating that to 1 of 5 possible images.
If I just served a file for every possible number, the browser would have to potentially download 20x the data.

It was just a fun toy app that I whipped up. Didn't mean to offend anyone with my "hot tech". :-)

That way the browser can download and cache 5 possible images rather than 100 and the user just has to think in terms of 0-100.

Everyone is battling over why corporations or Apple specifically doesn't like GPLv3, and noone has mentioned Linus has said he doesn't like GPLv3 either and will stick with v2 for Linux.
Linux is still shipping under GPLv2.

My understanding based on a presentation from Dr. Nic is that Puma is a straight fork of Mongrel since Mongrel had threading from the beginning but it is essentially unsupported now.
This commit lends to that story as well: https://github.com/evanphx/puma/commit/1888887d8ff8fdf4954c3...
I agree though, would be nice to mention its heritage in the read me.
