   Today’s reading: Perfect Hash Function https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_hash_function
   
   Apparently, this is a collision-free hash that maps elements of the set to integers.
   
   I’ve seen things like “ace” and “ace-gperf” in Debian / Ubuntu repositories for years, but never bothered to find out what a perfect hash function is.

   #Daddy_A lived in #AZ for a year or two. When I told him how hot it is today, he immediately told me how glad he is to have left #SoCal and #Arizona to move to #NE ( #Nebraska gets both hot and humid, but not as hot as AZ or as humid as #Mississippi ).

   I think someone missed. Temperatures substantially above 100°F are supposed to land in #AZ, not #SoCal.

   Efforts to mount a rescue of #GSNO appear to have failed. If you’re a user of #gnusocial.no, you have about two weeks to grab your data and find a new #Fediverse home. You can see a list of some public !gnusocial instances at https://gnusocial.network/try/

   @vegos Yeah, it takes Devuan a little longer to release OS versions, but Debian itself is a stable OS, sometimes years behind the outside world. That is the reason I use Debian and Devuan ... if I wanted constant churn and breakage, I’d use Arch.

   @phildobangnz How can you not speak at least some French? Isn't that one of your national requirements? You'll get kicked out of Canada and have to move to Detroit.

    Have you ever had the phone ring at 06:00 local time because you told someone you’re up at 07:00, but it takes an hour to be ready to talk?
    
    The caller was in US-Central, so they waited until 08:00.
    
    Timezones cause confusion.

    Annoying that #Ubuntu family operating systems still do not give a “use UTC” option during installation for the system timezone. Even my #Win10 laptop uses UTC.
    
    Too many family members are in timezones other than US-Pacific. Using a local timezone is just confusing, just as using AM and PM instead of 24-hour time is.

    On the laptop upgrade project: The #Kubuntu machine is “in process”. The #Debian machine updated from 9 (Stretch?) to 10.5 (Buster?). The #NixOS and the #Fedora machine are in progress. The OpenSuse machine has not been started. The #Devuan machine ran out of disk space, so I’ll redo it from scratch.

    The hottest temperature I ever experienced was 116F sometime around the early 2000s. But 106F and humid (working in El Centro, #California, one year) and 96F and much more humid (working in #Mississippi one year) felt even worse. The awful thing about #MS was that the local people I worked with said it was the coolest Summer in thirty years, while I wondered how people could live there.

    @geniusmusing I don’t know where they’re hitting 115F, but they really should be allocating the the power cuts to some of the industrial users that use most of the state’s power to begin with. If some places really did hit 115F, they’re risking people’s lives by cutting cooling in residential areas. Not only do they not have air conditioning, but they’re without ref…

    The storm near Joplin is getting bigger and the most active area has partitioned into three areas. First is stronger than the others, and mostly in #KS, with some spillover into #MO and #OK, moving W and especially SW. The other two are smaller and weaker, moving SE.
    
    Watching it because there are three grandkids near this storm.

    I went to check on the three remaining baby cats (kittens). They seem to be fine. Still afraid to come too near humans.
    
    It was really sad (and gross) to see that their sibling had accidentally hung itself.

    It is difficult to trust people enough to make them equal to yourself (especially since they could kick & ban you with that power from a room you created yourself), but in a world where people sometimes spam or attempt to shock or otherwise fill the room with content that ruins the room for its official purpose, a public (not invitation-only) room needs moderators at least

    Dropped out of the matrix://#python:matrix.org room because there was a person spamming disgusting images and the single admin was nowhere to be found. I’ll be willing to rejoin in the future, but I’d like it if the admin adds other admins and moderators, so someone can respond in a reasonable time period.

    Back when I watched “The Amazing Three”, “Speed Racer”, “Yuusha Raideen”, I was unaware of any such thing as anime. They were just cartoons.
