Just curious if there are any process explorers under linux that visually plot how much energy drain a particular task is using?
I mean I know that there are tabs that measure how much (virtual) CPUs are under load but it would be interesting to know what actual processes are draining the battery. e.g. if I switch from Firefox to Chrome and am able to measure how long I can expect my battery to last on a long distance train etc.
Many schooled in other languages would be wary of coding without a boolean data type.
C99 has #include <stdbool.h> although it still evaluates down to 1 and 0.
But then 'real programmers' don't need hand-holding where others would delegate responsibility for such low level gotchas to a compiler.:)
By this point Working Systems/Global Health have long ago migrated every other customer to their Windows product and new backend. So it should have been a *relatively* smooth transition given that the vendor has done a number of migrations previously and thus ironed out most of the kinks.
The issue seems to be that they rejected that option and decided to put out a tender and go with a different vendor. In which they will cause themselves migration heartache by not going with the specified upgrade path.
maybe not 'loads' but it is conceivable that 'some'. Legislation either at a state or federal level may require collection of new or modified data which may necessitate a form change for compliance.
Hence software may continue to receive a trickle of updates over decades so long as there's a licensee and a vendor willing to support it.
Welcome to the 27 club. It's a curse that claims mainly musicians - Amy Winehouse, Brain Jones, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Robert Johnson,
I had no empathy the villains in the first movies - Eric Banana I still remember from low-brow comedy skits and I can't stand that Cummerbund guy from Sherlock.
If economics is your primary motivation, don't. My brother and his family have 5 hens. An egg for breakfast is a by-product of their companionship.
Backyard chickens are pets that need love and attention. Okay so they won't curl up on your lap like a cat or go for walks like a dog but they have symbiotic needs.
At least once a week I encounter a news website where HTML5 won't play a video either through buffering or failing to start.Flash STILL seems to handle those cases better.

There was an effort at Cornell University to produce 'Cyclone'. It required a modifications to gcc.
If MS made this a 1st class citizen of Visual Studio it might gain some traction. That it's using LLVM sounds intriguing - might MS be switching to the platform for its compiler suite?
I thought visual studio *did* issue deprecation warnings when compiling use of certain 'considered harmful' practices and libraries.
At least that was my experience in maintaining the code of a C hacker who had left the programming team. But not being an expert in the language, I wasn't sure if the compiler was being overly pedantic or whether removing all the compiler warnings might fix the issues we were having or break in new ways!
Well I'm a Victorian and call me un-Australian but I kind of wish our sovereignty was robust to the extent of butting out of pointless skirmishes.
e.g. We recently signed a free-trade agreement with our 'friends', China. Yet at the same time, we're building a dozen submarines - ostensibly so we can join a naval battle with Clinton/Trump and Duterte over a sea to our north.
My dad died of oesophageal cancer, so at least for me it's a grave concern. He did live to a reasonable age but the last 18 months of his life were miserably wretched and I wouldn't wish the condition on my worst enemy.
The survival rates are despairingly low whilst the public consciousness seems to focus on the 'sexier' cancers such as prostate, breast, melanoma, bowel, lung etc

'sensibly' ?
I hope you're being tongue in cheek. Never assume.

"months or years in effort"

Well in this case, the "new/shiny" is itself 10-15 years old and the vendor migrated every other licensee to their successor product 8 years ago.

The main reason for watching is Uhura!

Can't they just explain at the beginning of the next movie that he was on an away team wearing a red shirt?
Walter Koenig is alive and well.
I would have thought a pressing issue was the environment.
e.g. Lake Poopo dried up this year. Whether it will ever fill again has scientists worried.

Google make soup now?
Actually I'd prefer if websites would support Shumway.
But the Javascript browser detection code usually queries the presence of a flash plugin rather than the ability to render swf.

Really, I thought it was summer up there?

It's an acquired taste, to be sure. To me it's more like oolong tea strained through a used athletic sock! :)
I prefer it to that other southern cone rite of passage, Fernet - ghastly stuff, even diluted with Coke.

Perhaps because it's a combination of factors.
My late father drank roughly 10 cups of tea a day, smoked as a youth before quitting in his early thirties, was overweight and suffered from reflux.
These were his symptoms and while I can only offer personal anecdotes, yes I am worried about it.
My dad was a tea-drinker and had the cancer.
It's also prevalent in the South American nation of Uruguay where they drink copious amounts of yerba mate.
Thanks for your indifference.

Just over 3 years. And these things take years to procure if run past the 3 letter agencies first.
According to Knox's wikipedia page the S5 is on the list if the next Prez wants a slightly newer model.
