53 so.... I discovered another feature of php

$test = `ls -al`;

this is the same as doing

$test = shell_exec("ls -al");

also, this being php we can

$options = "-al";
$test = `ls {$options}`

52 Looks like a good way to write unmaintainable code.

53 I don't mind being able to put variables directly into strings, even if I don't use it myself. There are more languages that allow you to do that.
However, the fact that someone found it necessary to make it that easy to execute shell commands is....weird....

54 I was referring to mixing all of them together. It's like using int[] a[]; to define a 2 dimensional array.

55 if you truly want to write unmaintainable code you should use the fact that php may not care about capitalization when setting constants. Thus you can effectively overwrite them in certain cases.

also, constants are always either global or bound to a class. You can't have local constants. Which effectively limits them to configuration stuff, so being able to overwrite them is even worse.

56 Ick. I'm assuming you've seen this, but if not, it's a fun read.

55. I hate feeling tired yet waking up with a faint sense of anxiety.

56 Glad I don't need to put these data tables in for the lab. One has 840 points...

55. Oof that doesn't sound fun!

86 It's all in excel, so I can just make a graph fairly easily. It was automatically collected, so it wasn't that bad.

57. Oh good!
