China likes its trains and it has deployed some of the most advanced and the most out-of-the-box train technologies in the world.

Now its latest train is so out-of-the-box that it could just as easily not be considered an actual train.

The new vehicle developed by China’s CRRC Corporation, one of the world’s largest train manufacturers is presented as a ‘trackless electric train’.

As you can see on the pictures above and below, the train is not constrained to actual tracks, but it instead follows virtual ones using tires and an electric powertrain – much like a bus.

The new vehicle is called ‘Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit’ (ART) system and it has a maximum speed of 70 km/h (43 mph) and carries up to 300 passengers in three carriages, reported local news outlet People’s Daily Online (via Channel News Asia).

It was first unveiled in June, but it has now started testing in Zhuzhou in the Hunan Province.

Now the idea behind the system is that it operates just like a tram or urban train, but it requires only a fraction of the investment in terms of infrastructure since tracks are not required.

The battery packs enabled only 25 km (15 miles) of range on a charge, but it charges in only 10 minutes using connectors on top of the carriages when stopped – similar to some electric bus charging systems.

Speaking of electric buses, it’s not clear what are the advantages of this particular system over deploying more electric buses, but I suppose they might find some through their test program.

China is certainly no stranger to out-of-the-box transportation systems. Last year, another Chinese company unveiled a futuristic-looking electric straddling bus concept.

They actually built a working prototype of the system, but the project failed and ended in a scandal with several arrests for “illegal fundraising.” The project has been described as “a scam from the start.”

Hopefully, this new project has a better fate. Either way, China is rapidly electrifying its transport industry with electric buses and trains regardless of if they combine both to make a hybrid.

About Compressed Archive Formats

Compressed archives combine multiple files into a single file to make them easier to transport or save on diskspace. Archiving software may also provide options for encryption, file spanning, checksums, self-extraction, and self-installation. Zip is the most-widely used format, used by the Windows operating system and more recently by OSX as well. RAR is also a very popular and flexible format. Unix uses the tar file format, while Linux uses the tar and gz format.

"The strangest thing was, there was no radio. Nothing. Up and down the dial. Just static or silence for months." Said Mike as they slowed to a stop at a four way intersection. Steve sat on the passenger side of the old army cargo truck, jotting on a notepad. The diesel rumbled cantankerously as the the beast lumbered forward.

Annabelle was an two and a half ton U.S. Army M35 truck. Big and square and serious. Or had been. Annabelle had seen better days. Big patches of paint were gone and rust nibbled away where it hadn't plain eaten right through. She had bumps and dings and dents and gouges. Some things were missing. Some were replaced. Some were wedged and hammered on with a wing and a prayer. The passenger side window had a big crack running along the hood and up the side that was covered with duct tape, giving her the look of taped up glasses. She was old and mean and stubborn and beat, but all in all, she was a good girl.

Mike was a bit older, mid fourties maybe. Thin. He was a week or so overdue for a haircut, but not yet shaggy. He juggled the steering wheel and shifter between his good right hand, the stump of his left and his knee. Steve was much younger. A little bit plump. From an easier time. He was writing for a newspaper or something. Who cares. He was company.

"Driving truck was one of the things I could do with this." He held up and waved his left hand. It was roughly a triangle behind where his thumb and knuckles used to be. His amputation scars had healed a long time ago. "It was crushed when a building collapsed right after everything fell apart. I couldn't fight too well, so I did what I could getting stuff to the guys who were. You know they say that the whole thing started with a spelling error? Some guy somewhere made a mistake in a computer code. Started a market panic. Whole thing spread like wildfire. Before you know the whole world was blowing each other up" He hit the clutch and shifted. The original shifter was gone, along with the boot. It was a piece of pipe with a pipe cap on the end dissapearing through a square hole in the floor.

"Like I said, there was no radio. No talk, no music. Nothing. They had the army radios for important stuff, but those were few and far between, all for the higher ups. Once in a while you could scrounge up some AA's for one of those little plastic jobbies, but there was nothing to pick up on it. You had a lot of time to think. Sometimes you'd get antsy for something, anything. Some guys had mp3 players or old phones. You could charge those up at the big bases. Once it was gone it was gone though." The truck swayed on the uneven road. The shock absorbers were useless rotted out tubes now, she wobbled on just her springs.

Annabelle tipped alarmingly to the side as they rounded a corner, swaying back and forth until she settled back onto her haunches. "Then they got the government station. They got enough broadcast towers together to cover most places. Took a long time to get to the more remote places. Instructions, news, things like that, they broadcast important stuff during the day, less so at night. They taught first aid in the morning, news at noon. At dawn they taught school, just to keep things going. A bit of math, a bit of history. Sometimes on slow days they'd play a song or two."

A few moments of silence passed as Steve's pencil scratched on paper. "I don't carry munitions much anymore. Not like the old days when they'd load Annie down untill her tires almost scraped the wells. Food now mostly. Wheat, corn. I carried sheep once. Annie didn't care much for that."

They slowed to a stop. The chain link and razor wire of what had once been a prison stretched off in either direction. Mike rolled down the window and handed a sheaf of papers to the bored man in the corrugated steel guardpost. He didn't bother reading too thoroughly.

"Well kid, end of the line." He said as they rolled into the unloading area, taking a seat in a long line of Annabelles, Betsies and couple of Rachels.

Steve let himself out and said goodbye. Mike sat there, put on the parking brake, patted the scarred up old steering wheel, clicked on the cheap plastic radio taped on top of the dashboard, and listened to the music.

refinement: Mike drives a truck, and his passenger, Steve, who is a journalist, listens to Mike relaying his experience during the war, where he was a truck driver transporting goods for the soldiers. Steve lets himself out of the truck when they have reached their destination, a place that had once been a prison. Mike parks the truck in a line of other trucks. He listens to the radio and then the story ends.

answer: Mike and Steve are driving in Annabelle, an old army truck. Mike is an older man who lost his left hand in a building collapse. Steve is a younger man who is writing for a newspaper. They are driving to a prison to deliver food. They arrive at the prison and say goodbye to Steve.

text:
It used to be that a man ranting and raving in the street would be deemed insane.

It used to be that murder and sin would be scarce, and that we could all sleep safe in our beds.

I long for the days that used to be.

Times were that we could live solely for ourselves, develop hobbies, and survive. Now, it's a do or die enviroment, where theres just two choice: Co-operate, or kill.
Should it be that we choose kill, we become no better than those who hound us, seek our scent and divulge into the most barbaric of natures. However, co-operation carries it's own risks.

Emotional attachment is always far too common, and not a day goes by where we don't lament upon the fate of others, or envy the fortune of the rest. It appears that the seven deadly sins strike into each corner of the globe, taking victims as they deem fit.

Sloth strikes upon most, the creatures of the wastes striking as they simply just lay there, incapable of movement. Their cries are heard throughout the encampments, and no one man is safe, regardless of weaponry or strength.

Lust fuels the savage, whether it be for money, power, or more... carnal desires. These men show no mercy, and create in-fighting, deterring our attention from the true enemy.

Gluttony leads to a drain on resources, and as famine and starvation plague our "society", we are left far too weak to retaliate, and so some are left to die, their frail bodies posing no threat to those outside.

Greed appears to fuel all these sins, sowing the seeds of treason, trickery, manipulation and violence. This avarice simply descends into anarchy, devolving a once civilized location to simply survival of the fittest, or the most under-hand, as it would seem, with raiders occupying many old-world establishments.

Envy and Pride are rarely seen seperate, as many men are born and slain by their own hubris. We all long for a greater life, and so we channel this through personal possessions. When bartering cannot offer you that which you seek, some would descend into such primitive nature, as, to quote an ancient bard, civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

And so we all invoke Wrath.
We all are led to the same fate.
And we all, inevitably, decay.

title: Seven (First time writing in roughly a year)

question: What is meant by "lament upon the fate of others"?

answer: The author is lamenting the fate of others because they are dying.

text: This is not necessarily true; it would be more accurate to say 'suffering' > 'dying'

refinement: The author is lamenting the fate of others because they are suffering.

answer: The author is referring to the emotional attachment that is common in the post-apocalyptic world.

text: It would be clearer to say the author is 'describing' > 'referring' due to the phrasing of the text.

refinement: The author is describing the emotional attachment that is common in the post-apocalyptic world.

text: 'Emotional attachment is always far too common, and not a day goes by where we don't lament upon the fate of others, or envy the fortune of the rest.'

answer: The text is not clear.

text: It can be inferred from the text that the 'fate' is one of suffering, so mention this as a possibility.

refinement: The text is not clear, but it could be referring to the suffering of other people.

answer: The author is referring to feeling sorrow or pity for those who have suffered or died.

question: What are the creatures of the wastes?

answer: The creatures of the wastes are those who have succumbed to the seven deadly sins, and have become savage and bloodthirsty.

text: Be more specific that they have succumbed to the sin of sloth, not all seven sins.

refinement: The creatures of the wastes are those who have succumbed to the sin of sloth, and have become savage and bloodthirsty.

text: Empty answer

refinement: People who have succumbed to the sin of sloth.

answer: Sloths?

text: Punctuation: no question mark

text: Be more specific that it's the sin of sloth, not the animal.

refinement: People who have succumbed to the sin of sloth.

answer: The creatures of the wastes are the creatures that strike the most.

text: This is accurate, but it's missing the specific mention of sloth.

refinement: The creatures of the wastes are the creatures that strike the most, who have succumbed to the sin of sloth.

question: Why does the author say that emotional attachment is far too common?

text: Empty, add a response.

refinement: Because the author considers it a risk of cooperating for survival. The subtext is that it's emotional attachment that makes loss painful.

answer: The author believes that emotional attachment is far too common because it often leads to conflict and death. People become attached to things like money, power, or possessions, and when they cannot get what they want, they often resort to violence.

text: The emotional attachment referred to seems to be between people, so the second sentence should be removed to convey that.

refinement: The author believes that emotional attachment is far too common because it often leads to conflict and death.

answer: They do not seem to know.

text: The author knows why they said it - remove the inaccuracy that states otherwise.

text: Empty, add a response.

refinement: Because the author considers it a risk of cooperating for survival. The subtext is that it's emotional attachment that makes loss painful.

answer: The author says that we all long for a greater life, and so we channel this through personal possessions. When bartering cannot offer you that which you seek, some would descend into such primitive nature, as, to quote an ancient bard, civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

text: The answer is taken from a section unrelated to the question and so should be omitted.

text: Empty, add a response.

text: 'We all long for a greater life, and so we channel this through personal possessions. When bartering cannot offer you that which you seek, some would descend into such primitive nature, as, to quote an ancient bard, civil blood makes civil hands unclean.'

question: Why does the author take issue with the conflation of envy and pride?

text: Empty, add a response.

refinement: The author does not take issue with it, and believes that envy and pride are rarely seen separate because they are rooted in the same desires.

answer: It seems the author believes it has something to do with hubris.

text: 'something to do with' is vague; the answer could be more precisely worded.

refinement: The author believes envy and pride are conflated because of their joint connection to hubris.

text: 'Envy and Pride are rarely seen seperate, as many men are born and slain by their own hubris.' This phrasing ties the concepts together (envy + pride, with hubris).

answer: The author takes issue with the conflation of envy and pride because it leads to a descent into primitive nature, often resulting in violence and death. This is because both envy and pride are rooted in wanting something that someone else has, and this can lead to conflict and violence.

text: The response is more of an answer to "Why does the author take issue with envy and pride?" whereas the question is about the conflation of the two, so the whole first sentence should be removed as irrelevant.

refinement: This is because both envy and pride are rooted in wanting something that someone else has, and this can lead to conflict and violence.

text: A clear disagreement with the question's phrasing would help the response make more sense.

refinement: The author doesn't take issue with it, because both envy and pride are rooted in wanting something that someone else has, which can lead to conflict and violence.

answer: The author believes that envy and pride are rarely seen separate.

text: Add a clear disagreement with the question.

refinement: The author does not take issue with it, and believes that envy and pride are rarely seen separate.

text: Adding a cause/reason would make for a fuller answer.

refinement: The author does not take issue with it, and believes that envy and pride are rarely seen separate because they are rooted in the same desires.

question: Write a ~1 sentence summary.

answer: The narrator laments the state of the world and the seven deadly sins that plague it.

text: Add the detail of it being a post-apocalyptic world, as opposed to the present reality.

refinement: The narrator laments the state of the post-apocalyptic world and the seven deadly sins that plague it.

text:
'It used to be that murder and sin would be scarce, and that we could all sleep safe in our beds.

answer: The author thinks society is too far gone because humans are too emotionally attached and value things like pride and envy.

text: Add the detail of it being a post-apocalyptic world, as opposed to the present reality.

refinement: The author thinks their post-apocalyptic society is too far gone because humans are too emotionally attached and value things like pride and envy.

text: Replace 'author' with 'narrator' to make it clear it is fictional.

refinement: The narrator thinks their post-apocalyptic society is too far gone because humans are too emotionally attached and value things like pride and envy.

text: 'value things like pride and envy' should be expanded to the influence of all seven deadly sins.

text: Emotional attachment is not part of the reason the world is too far gone, omit this detail.

[First edition
Cover artist: Stephen Hutchings] _NOBODY'S SON_ is a 1993 fantasy novel by Sean Stewart. It was first published by Macmillan of Canada.[1]

Synopsis

When peasant Shielder's Mark breaks the curse of the Red Keep and frees the kingdom of Swangard from the Ghostwood, he claims as his reward the princess royal's hand in marriage. The ramifications of this choice are far more complex than he expected, however, especially since the aristocracy does not particularly like him.

Reception

_Nobody's Son_ won the 1994 Prix Aurora Award for Best Long-Form Work,[2] and the Canadian Library Association's 1994 Young Adult Book Award.[3] _Canadian Literature_ praised Stewart for transcending the usual stereotypes of fairy tales, calling _Nobody's Son_ an “existential drama” with “breathing, clearly individualized characters”, and comparing Shielder's Mark to the creations of J. D. Salinger.[4]

John Clute noted that “[the novel's] title contradicts the very heart of all modern commercial fantasy, and almost any other kind of fantasy as well”, and described it as “the most intensely _likeable_ story” that he had read in years.[5] Jo Walton called it “immensely readable and [with] genuine emotional depth”, but noted that — as was typical of her experience with Stewart's works — she was unable to retain much memory of what had happened in the novel.[6]

text: Grammar.

refinement: A peasant frees a kingdom of the curse of a Red Keep. The curse is causing all the land to turn to ghosts, in return for the Princess Royal's hand in marriage.

text: It doesn't really capture the essence of the synopsis per the original text.

refinement: A peasant frees a kingdom of the curse of a Red Keep in return for the Princess Royal's hand in marriage. However, he finds out the transaction isn't as simple as he had expected.

answer: When the peasant Shielder's Mark breaks the curse of the Red Keep and frees the kingdom of Swangard from Ghostwood, he "shocks" the kingdom by demanding his "reward."

text: Grammar- there shouldn't an article before "peasant".

refinement: When peasant Shielder's Mark breaks the curse of the Red Keep and frees the kingdom of Swangard from Ghostwood, he "shocks" the kingdom by demanding his "reward."

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize Rabago's education.

answer: After he graduated from the United States Coast Guard Academy, he attended the University of Michigan and earned Masters of Science Degrees in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. He also attended the Naval War College.

answer: He attended a military prep school, then the United States Coast Guard Academy. After graduation he attended the University of Michigan and earned Masters of Science Degrees in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

answer: Rabago's education began when he entered into the Coast Guard Academy. His initial education soon ended with a Bachelor of Science degree in Ocean Engineering. He attended the University of Michigan in 1983 and later attended the US Coast Guard Yard, where he completed a master's in Maritime Engineering. He went back to university in 1995 and earned his a master's degree in Maritime Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

He awoke, and he was terrified.  As far as the eye could see were small canisters containing humans, just like the one he had risen from. The room was cold and dark, save for their blue glow, while the ceiling was barely above his head as he stood.

There was no end in sight, no discernible wall or doorway or exit. He could clearly make out the humans near his canister, though. Beside him a woman, with luscious blonde hair; the other side two children, a boy and a girl of similar age.

He was suddenly aware of a deep rumble in the distance, a sound that filled him with dread for reasons he couldn't understand. He began to panic, more so than he thought he might ever have done before.

Looking down he began to shake the woman, to rouse her from her slumber. When she wouldn't respond, he began to remove the various tubes and contraptions that were protruding from her body.

Suddenly, she awoke with an almighty gasp. She stared at him straight in the eye before going into shock, writhing in the man's grip. As soon as she had awoken, she went limp.

The man was now acutely aware of the terrifying rumble again. It was louder, making his way towards him.

Where was he?

And then, all went dark.

*

From his position on the beach, the man stared out to sea. As far as the eye could see was crystal clear water, while the Sun radiated down upon him, basking his body in unrivalled splendour.

He arose from his seat filled with ecstasy and joy. Here he dwelled in paradise, with his every desire and need catered for. He couldn't remember a time when he had been happier, or perhaps there had never been other such time.

But as he walked along the beach, the idyllic setting began to fade. The sand smudged into darkness, the sea turned a cold grey, the sky disappeared before him.

As his world dissolved around him into blackness, he was scared for what felt like the first time.

*

This was the moment he would betray them. Perhaps they would adjust to their new lives? But most likely not.

His family walked with him, his wife with the incredible blonde hair that had first attracted him to her all those years ago before it had begun, his children with their youthful ignorance that helped them bring light to the situation. He would've felt regret if he did not know what was coming.

They each climbed into their canisters, alight with a blue glow. Into the distance he could see thousands of people, what remained of the human race, doing the same.

They had been trained for this moment. They knew the procedure. Nevertheless, he made sure to check on his children. Despite his actions, he did not wish a greater ill upon them.

“See you on the other side,” he lied to them both. “I love you.”

His wife, meanwhile, had been quiet. He couldn't blame her; no one had thought it would come to this.  But it had, and for some it was a more distressing experience than others. For some, like himself, it had even brought out traits that he did not know existed.

He took a loving look at his wife, his last he thought, and she returned his gaze with a look that seemed to hide a tinge of sorrow. It didn't matter. None of this mattered.

They smiled at each other, nodded, and both lowered themselves into their canisters. The man attached the last of his tubes and prepared for his deep, unpenetrable slumber.

He was moments from drifting off, from escaping, before his wife appeared above him. He tried to speak, but his body was powerless.

“I know what you did,” she whispered as she pulled a tube out of his body.

*

“Will they know?”

“Yes.”

“How can you be sure?

“The machines are good, but they cannot account for such anomalies in each fantasy. By leaving them, they will forever mourn your absence.”

The man pondered this for a moment.

“Will I know?”

“No. Prior memories are erased, and if you are woken you will be killed.”

“Good.”

*

They had made the decision to spend an eternity together, but it was an eternity he did not want. Here was an opportunity to start afresh, to begin a new life, with no repercussions.

They made the necessary arrangements for the new life the four of them would lead together. It was a life she had chosen. He wanted more.

But there was another way. And soon, once his mind had wrestled away the horror of his upcoming actions, he would betray them in favour of an eternity in paradise.

title: Remember

question: Who are the main characters?

answer: A man and his wife

text: Not complete

answer: An unnamed man/husband and an unnamed woman/wife who are among the last humans.

text: Inaccuracies here

answer: He is the main character

text: Does not say who "he" is

question: Why does the beach fade?

answer: Because he's pulled out of the connection with the machine, which was simulating the beach.

text: NO CONTENT

refinement: Because the main character is pulled out of his connection with his tube.

answer: The man is lost in despair. The idyllic setting of the beach is starting to fade.

text: Not specific enough

refinement: The man is taken from his connection with the machine and the beach fades.

question: What is the story's main conflict?

answer: The main conflict in the story is that the main character is faced with a choice of either staying in his fantasy world with his family, or tempting a new and potentially better life for himself in the outside world.

answer: The man's betrayal of his family for a fresh start in paradise.

answer: The main conflict of the story seems to be the man's decision to betray his family in order to have his own eternity in paradise.

question: What are the major events of the story?

answer: The man falls asleep. That is all known for the beginning of the story. The man wakes up in a dark room with no natural light. A sense of panic overtakes him. The man, now knows that he is in one of the machines where humans are being stored, wakes another human to witness what is happening, who offers resistance and then collapses. The machines comes closer to the man and it is revealed that he is operating a canister used for humans, so that they can live in a paradise-like environment. Details are also given on the man's situation before settling on his choice. The man makes plans with his wife about their future, terminates the tubes all over his body and joins the others in the canisters. The man falls asleep.

answer: The man wakes up from a canister in a TV room, realizing he has to find a way back to his family. They are all put into blue-lit pods. The man decides to betray them by killing himself for an unending happy life in paradise.

text: The twist at the end of the story is missed.

refinement: The man wakes up from a canister in a TV room, realizing he has to find a way back to his family. They are all put into blue-lit pods. The man decides to betray them by leaving the shared fantasy for an unending happy life in paradise.

answer: The family agree to spend eternity together; the man (husband/father) arranges for his own eternity to be separate; they all enter their canisters (for stasis) and the wife pulls a tube from his body; the man's paradise fades and upon waking he pulls her out of her paradise; her body goes into shock and there is a terrifying rumble before everything goes dark.

question: What is the story's genre?

answer: The story's genre can be best described as a drama, as it conveys a personal and emotional dilemma faced by the protagonist.

text: Sci Fi is a better description than drama.

refinement: The story's genre can be best described as a science fiction, as it involves the personal, social, ethical and psychological experiences provoked by highly developed machines.

answer: The story is most likely a dystopian/post-apocalyptic one.

answer: Science fiction.

question: Write a ~3 sentence summary.

answer: The man wakes to a cacophony of noise in a cold, dark place and freaks out. He goes to a place of paradise and stays forever. When there, he makes the decision to have his family join him in eternity, but he changes his mind later and betrays them back to the darkness.

text: The first line is bad.

refinement: The man wakes to a cacophony of noise from inside a capsule. He had been dreaming in a simulated paradise with his family. When there, he makes the decision to have his family join him in eternity, but he changes his mind later and betrays them back to the darkness.

text: There needs to be more information about the final twist.

refinement: The man wakes to a cacophony of noise from inside a capsule. He had been dreaming in a simulated paradise with his family. He makes the decision to betray his family and leave the fantasy.

answer: A man has a passion for his wife, and regrets spending all his time at school. He feels like he does not deserve her, however. When he is living a lie in paradise with his wife after he is upset he does not deserve someone so good, he decides to take her immortality away to find peace in humanity.

text: There are so many issues here I am just going to paste my refined summary rather than doing them 1 by 1. The whole summary is wrong.

refinement: The man wakes to a cacophony of noise from inside a capsule. He had been dreaming in a simulated paradise with his family. He makes the decision to betray his family and leave the fantasy.

answer: The story is presented in reverse, beginning with the main character waking abruptly from his machine-induced slumber to a terrifying rumble and everything going dark. Flash back to the man's experience inside the machine's simulated eternity, where he is on an idyllic beach that fades as he's woken. He is woken by his wife pulling a tube from his body before he can fully submerge, saying she knows what he did; he's secretly made a deal to abandon his family to an eternity of mourning him so he can have a fresh start in paradise, after agreeing to spend eternity together.

answer: The man, who can't sleep, wakes his a sleeping woman; she is attached to many tubes. She doesn't respond and goes into shock and dies, and the man realizes whatever terrifying thing is coming, but he goes back to sleep. The man, now sitting on a beach in paradise, chooses to stay asleep and betray his love and kids, who have also been part of the fantasy all along.

text: He chooses to wake up, not stay asleep

refinement: The man, who can't sleep, wakes his a sleeping woman; she is attached to many tubes. She doesn't respond and goes into shock and dies, and the man realizes whatever terrifying thing is coming, but he goes back to sleep. The man, now sitting on a beach in paradise, chooses to wake up and betray his love and kids, who have also been part of the fantasy all along.

answer: A man awake in his ir sleeping pod which rises into the ground. There he meets his wife and their children. It is revealed that they are the last humans and are about to commit mass-suicide to start a new life in paradise.

text: The final two lines are inaccurate. There is a grammatical issue in line 1. The description "rises out of the ground" offers nothing.

refinement: The man wakes to a cacophony of noise from inside a capsule. He had been dreaming in a simulated paradise with his family. He makes the decision to betray his family and leave the fantasy.

answer: A man wakes up in a terminally ill woman's body, confused. She dies in his grip. The man is completely taken in by the allure of paradise and abandons his family, convincing himself he's made the right choice.

text: He does not wake up in a woman's body.

refinement: A man wakes up in a capsule, confused. She dies in his grip. The man is completely taken in by the allure of paradise and abandons his family, convincing himself he's made the right choice.

text: He is not completely taken in by the allure of paradise

refinement: A man wakes up in a capsule, confused. She dies in his grip. The man had subjected his family to a simulated fantasy with the intention to abandon them there, convincing himself he's made the right choice.

The latest update to the popular server-side web development language includes new features and speed improvements.

PHP 7.3, the newest update to the widespread server-side web development language, was released on Thursday, bringing with it a handful of new features, modernizations, and modest speed improvements. For programmers who gave up on PHP prior to 2015 due to performance issues and implementation frustrations, the 7.x branch brings landmark usability and speed improvements to the language, which version 7.3 refines substantially.

The largest improvements in 7.3 include support for Foreign Function Interface (FFI), allowing programmers to write inline C code inside PHP scripts. Though this feature does not presently provide the same level of performance as native PHP code, it can under certain circumstances be used to reduce the memory footprint of a given task.

PHP 7.3 also includes flexible heredoc and nowdoc syntax, now no longer requiring closing markets to be followed by a semicolon or new line. The feature proposal for this notes that the previous rigid requirements "caused them to be, in-part, eschewed by developers because their usage in code can look ugly and harm readability." The Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) library was updated to PCRE2, as the previous 8.x branch of PCRE is limited to bug fixes only. Improved LDAP support also makes authentication easier. The full list of changes can be found in the release announcement.

SEE: DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN 2019: A BUSINESS LEADER'S GUIDE TO FUTURE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES (TECH PRO RESEARCH)

Linux benchmarking website Phoronix finds that the last release candidate of PHP 7.3 brings nearly 10% performance improvements over 7.2 in the popular PHPBench test suite. It is 31% faster than 7.0, and nearly three times faster than PHP 5.6.

PHP 7.3 does bring some backward incompatible changes and deprecated functions. The use of case-insensitive constraints is now deprecated, as is the use of case-insensitive constants with a case that differs from the declaration. The ext_skel utility has been redesigned with new options and now has no external dependencies. Additionally, support for BeOS was dropped in this release, if for some reason you were hosting a server on BeOS.

Developers also released the PHP 5.6.39 security update on Thursday, for deployments with dependencies on the 5.6.x branch. Support for this legacy version is ending on December 31, 2018, making the release of PHP 7.3 a good opportunity to upgrade, though major global changes between 5.x and 7.x may complicate this type of migration. (PHP 6.x was not released, due to development issues.) Likewise, support for the original PHP 7.0 branch ended on December 3, 2018, making upgrading an urgent task for application owners using that version.

Source downloads are available from php.net, though Linux users are best served by waiting on their distribution to provide updated packages. Windows users can get it from the PHP for Windows site. Upgrade notes are available on GitHub, and a full migration guide will be published on the PHP website shortly to assist developers in making their existing code compliant with PHP 7.3.

The big takeaways for tech leaders:

-   _PHP 7.3 allows for inlining C code, as well as making heredoc and nowdoc more flexible, among other code readability and flexibility improvements._
-   _PHP 7.3 is nearly 10% faster than PHP 7.2, and three times faster than PHP 5.6 -- Phoronix, 2018_
