Inopressa: 15 безболезненных способов спасти мир

Мы сортируем пластик, храним старые газеты и моем жестяные банки для повторного использования. Имеет ли это хоть какой-то смысл? Многие из нас озадачены превращением в зеленых, нервничают, как сделать свои дома экологически разумными дворцами, – и напуганы финансовыми карами, которые грозят в случае неподчинения. Политики стремятся стать самыми зелеными из всех, обещая, что несметного количества налогов, которыми нас обложат, хватит, чтобы средний человек рванулся и заказал билет на самый дальний самолет или сменил бензиново-электрическую Toyota Prius на огромный неэкономичный автомобиль. Вот 15 простейших способов уменьшить ваш углеродный след.

How to get rolling with Ruby on Rails using Locomotive

Locomotive is a Ruby on Rails application developed by Ryan Raaum. It’s designed to be completely self-contained, meaning that it includes Ruby, the Rails framework, the mongrel HTTP server, SQLite for databases, rubygems, bindings for MySQL and PostgreSQL, and more. All of these are packaged as a bundles, so you can choose different versions of particular packages when running applications. Locomotive is only 81MB in size, which isn’t bad considering that it’s a complete web framework. You can grab Locomotive from the site above, and installing it is as easy as installing any other application: just drag it to your Applications folder. This is the biggest reason I love Locomotive. It’s nice to be able to try things out and play without needing to install and compile all sorts of stuff and mess with your PATH. If you get tired of Ruby on Rails, just dump the Locomotive application in the Trash and that’s that. But after using it for a while, I doubt you’re going to want to get rid of it.
