Got a gas guzzling pickup truck? You can probably do 17% better. You can do better than that by getting a fuel efficient car, and drive that unless you absolutely need it to be the pickup truck for some reason. If you can't do that for psychological reasons, you also probably can't follow my advice. There's only so much i can do.<br />Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934169832326108710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15145059.post-27918763716586011322022-03-12T15:27:07.457-05:002022-03-12T15:27:07.457-05:00For no apparent reason, i can't edit the post....For no apparent reason, i can't edit the post.

Mint 19 itself has passed end of life. Lots of PHP releases in 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 8 (up to 8.0.9) are listed in "Unsupported Historical Releases". Current releases marked Stable include PHP 8.0.10, 7.4.22, and 7.3.30.<br /><br />Red Hat RHEL6 PHP is 5.6.23 Released: 23 Jun 2016 appears to be a branch - PHP 5. There's a note:<br />Support for PHP 5 has been discontinued since 10 Jan 2019.Please consider upgrading to 8.<br />Apparently, PHP 5.3 had a number of major improvements to the language. PHP 8 is also a new major release with a number of major improvements. It also has new Just In Time compilers, which could speed up the language.<br /><br />Given that upgrading to a new release of a language pretty much requires testing and updating all your sources in that language, you might see why companies and individuals might be reluctant to upgrade. What do you get with the new release that you might want? What does "supported" mean that you might want? I personally still have code that i wrote in the 1980s that i have not updated to the 1987 ISO C version. Modern compilers still compile it. The executables produced still function, but when compiler warnings are turned on there are warnings. I'm OK with it. It's quite a bit of code. I'm not supporting hundreds or thousands of users with it. I don't generally use C language features newer than 1987 ISO C. I'd use them if I needed them. I still use C for performance and stability. Typically, when i upgrade my operating system, i get a newer C compiler, and i recompile all my relevant sources. PHP 5 introduced closures and lambda functions, things i use in Scheme and other languages. PHP 8 introduces many things that improve speed, reliability of the code and reduce bugs that the programmer might make. These are things i would like and use were i currently using it. Last time i was using PHP intensely, neither PHP 5 nor PHP 8 were yet available. I wasn't overly fond of the language. This may have changed. Google's Go language is also changing rapidly, and it appears it's changing for the better. IMO, Go has started with a better design and the implementation may be ahead of PHP.<br />Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934169832326108710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15145059.post-28618225394304086262021-06-07T14:35:38.124-04:002021-06-07T14:35:38.124-04:00Update.

It can also be replaced for $10. I consider it a usable machine. I can't very well put my desktop outside with a web cam and shoot pictures of the bird feeder. I find it is a usable machine even when it's doing that.<br />Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934169832326108710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15145059.post-20656978308684372962021-05-18T17:30:47.631-04:002021-05-18T17:30:47.631-04:00It turns out that bike computers don't have 4 ...It turns out that bike computers don't have 4 digits of precision.

Do you ima...Imagine you want to learn how to think. Do you imagine that some teacher could teach it to you? Well, sort of. A teacher could introduce a new concept that is a small stretch from what you already know, and you could extrapolate how you might have gotten to it on your own, and you might use that kind of thinking to figure out other stuff. Maybe.<br /><br />My advice is to pick up a hobby that has the potential to stretch you in some way, and see what you can figure out on your own. Then read a book or two on it, and see if you can figure out other stuff. Do i have a suggested hobby? You really should do one that you have interest in. But you could do worse than Astronomy. Why Astronomy? Well, Astronomy is the study of everything in the Universe. No exceptions. Well, maybe dental hygiene. But Astronomy today covers the study of light in all forms from radio to gamma rays (and including visible light). Spectroscopy leads to chemistry, and modern chemistry often requires quantum mechanics to get it right. We're finding planets around other stars, so we'll be talking about biology. We're already talking about organic chemicals in space. It goes on an on. Even as an amateur astronomer, there are tons of directions to go with it.<br />Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934169832326108710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15145059.post-64309127156945770312020-12-22T15:56:13.559-05:002020-12-22T15:56:13.559-05:00Update: I no longer have a copy of Titanic.

So, you can be a liar without being a psychopath, if the lies aren't designed to cause harm, or in fact, don't cause harm. They may, for example, be designed to make you look better. You should also be able to have harmless delusions. Perhaps you think you'd be a very good tennis player, despite never having played the game.<br /><br />I find that the most trivial statements have absurdly ridiculously far reaching implications.

When i was in my 20s, she sent me a letter. I discovered two things. First, she's really funny. But then, on reflection, it became clear that she'd always been that way. Very dry humor. Every joke delivered with a perfect poker face. She didn't care if you got the joke or not, she just moved on. I say 'somehow'.

It talks about Solaris mode or Irix mode (neither of these Unix like operating systems are Linux, but Top is portable). The difference is that one reports a process using all cores of a 4 core processor as 100% and the other reports it as 400%. Hyperthreading makes this even more complicated, since a single core running more than one process (or thread) than the same core can get if only one process is running on it.<br /><br />Update: The new AMD, Ryzen, can do hyperthreading.<br />Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934169832326108710noreply@blogger.com
