Calendars differ from country to country. Many different calendar types are used worldwide based on cultural or religious traditions.

The Syncfusion .NET MAUI Scheduler supports scheduling, managing, and efficiently representing appointments. It was redesigned with a clean and convenient user interface for custom working days and hours and basic calendar operations such as date navigation and selection.

It supports creating the following types of calendars with ease:

Gregorian (default)
Hebrew
Hijri
Korean
Taiwanese
Thai Buddhist
UmAlQura
Persian
Japanese
In this blog, we’ll see how to create and customize a Hijri calendar using the features of the .NET MAUI Scheduler control.
Accidents happen, and now with Roe V Wade repeal even more will.

Not everyone gets to make the conscious choice.

Sounds more like you've given up and are using it as the moral high ground.

To turn your earlier phrase- 'Sorry, I don't take advice from people who are removed from the human race.'

Sounds stupid, because it is.

You do what you can, I will do what I can. But don't think for a second you are better than anyone else over a single choice you made.
how does Interaction Nets model compare with other concurrency models such as dataflow programming with Arrow? (For example, I maintain a distributed/reactive Clojure dialect for unified fullstack web development which seems to show a deep connection to HVM despite being based on dataflow not interaction nets - https://github.com/hyperfiddle/electric)
Why? Chess is more popular now than it has ever been and more people care about the human storylines and drama behind the players than the actual quality of their play, for better or for worse.
The Knight meltdown was more of a disfunction of change management and trading system operations than it was of using a decommissioned feature flag.

That is the natural Conservation of Energy into play. Noone is saying that you get more calories than you put in.
But the form of those calories is more useful for our consuption.

I'll take your example: While it takes 25KG of grass/other plant to get 1KG of meat The human body get's much more value from precessing that 1KG of meat than processing 25KG of grass. You can not just eat 25KG of corn plant and expect it to be the same as 1KG of meat.

This is not even a question. The need for Animal Proteins in our body is well documented and although many plants contain various forms of proteins they can not eliminate the need for Animal Proteins. There are various products that try to supplement this need artifically for those who oppose the consuption of animals on Moral grounds but that is another issue because there are also those who have a moral issue with consuming Plants; Why should one have more weight than the other?
And this is also Why I am very sceptical of this issue because people try to push other moral views and conflate them into one.

All I care in this context is the enviormental impact. I can say with a clear conscience that I dont care about your other moral dilemas in this case because the issue is much larger than some people needs to self congratulate on their choices and their need to recruit more people into those choice to validate themselves.
It's not really domain specific jargon, it's just the dictionary definitions of the words.
Yes, this is a special situation with no real good options because paypal is behaving like its usual dickish self. I still don't think that it harms paypal or helps anyone to mark their email as spam. Best would be to create a rule to drop their incoming messages.

Or use GDPR or some other legal option if you have time to spare and want to cost them some time=money in dealing with your request.
The redesign looks good, less cluttered. But did they really improve performance? Teams is a pig right now. Only time will tell but we can hope.
My day job involves working on a B2B CRUD-ish application, which is a market leader in a certain niche.

Almost all of the difficult problems I face when developing software is not from the code writing part.

It's things like deciphering what the customer needs, it's picking a good architecture for a new module or selecting an appropriate algorithm depending on various trade-offs, and figuring out how to integrate new features into existing in-production code with minimal disruptions.

While there certainly are exceptions, and if you're in a C++ shop chances are you're one of them, I'm pretty sure my job is quite typical in that sense.

As such, I feel my job disproportionately involves writing code. Some is superfluous, due to tool limitations. Some is not, it encodes intent and restrictions, but might still be trivial to write.

So I've long been wanting to write less code, to focus more on the difficult parts.
Says it's a perfectly functioning phone and then lists how it's not because it's old and got worn out. apps requiring later versions is an issue but the % of people on old iOS versions is really quite small. It makes no sense to waste development time on implementing something for <1% of customers on iOS 14, when you could use a newer API in one line of code.
…today.
There is no iPad app. It runs in iPhone compatability mode.
Yes, that's what I wanted to address and in the same way Steam address it with video games. You buy albums but you get the convenience of streaming services with no additional fees forever. Same as with Steam, I expected users to keep buying album regularity even if they didn't listen to them much. (cue seasonal sales etc...)
This is caused by the emmc storage inside getting slower due to wearing out. emmc firmwares are universally crap at wear levelling, so after a few years use a card that could read/write data at 200 Mbytes/sec before might now be as low as 2 Mbytes per second for reading the most read/written sectors.

The effect is compounded by the fact that modern apps are larger, taking up more RAM and flash storage. That in turn means the emmc has to work much harder - since there will be less free RAM for caching, there will be far more random reads.

The overall effect is a huge storage slowdown that makes the device unusable.
Working on that as we speak. We will soon all be nostalgic for the memes of this era. Bear in mind 2024 is an election year. What a time to be alive.
You can ask it to explain why. It might not be a true representation of why those decisions were made but at least it’s a plausible explanation of why something could work like that which is better than nothing. I’m not sure why you think it can’t do that already?
Most VPNs I use on a daily basis don't provide access to outside themselves, and don't, in fact, have any routers usable as a default gateway, and as such are unusable for the purpose described in the article.
Lab leak != lab origination. It could have escaped the lab, but that doesn't mean it was created there.
The thing I would counter is that "people studying medicine in medical school" is a bit of a bubble. This is particularly because the step of creating notes isn't necessary. There are many, many pre-built notes and study guides to select among. It's more about finding one that works for you and adapting it to the specific coursework.

The point being that if you are studying medicine the notes for review already exist and you just touch them up. You spend very little (if any) time actually creating them. I would certainly agree it's a waste of time to create your own notes in medicine.
I use this trick. It's an added layer of security, although a weak one — Screen Time PIN is four digit-mandatory — and a workaround — as in: not made for security purposes.
Is that because of karma?
I wonder if you could run modern Vim/Emacs or if even they are too resource hungry by now.
I think I'm not going too far when I claim that such inventions are utterly over-engineered for no good reason.

I had a chance to visit Google's Mountain View office a few years ago, where they had these modern toilets that were supposed to "wipe your ass for you" by spraying water at your asshole or something similar. Never got to even try that feature as I took a pretty properly sized dump and jammed the system somehow.

Unfortunately, there was no plunger at hand to unclog it, neither was there a flush button as everything was automatic. I spent 10 minutes trying fix the situtation, but had to run into a meeting eventually, so I left the big pile of shit for the next person to handle.

Next day, I tried again using a different box in the toilet. Unrelated: the toilet walls and door had like 70cm of space underneath where you could almost see the junk hanging from the person sitting next to you. Very unpleasant. Anyways, the goddamn toilet did not work again. This time I had no meeting and eventually I was able to flush the shit down, but it took like 15 minutes.

I wonder if they still have those toilets, but this was possibly one of the worst toilet-going experiences in my life. I felt like I was unwillingly participating in some sick experiment set up by some psycho.
Especially when android seems to be demonstrably better at keeping apps working on old OS's.
My voice is my passport. Verify me!
Whether the model "knows" something or not is irrelevant. It makes expert skills much less valuable. A big boon for individual productivity if you are not an expert in some field. What worries experts like the OP is their skills become much much less important. If you are an expert in some area and suddenly everyone else catches up almost, it will surely impact your wages.
Whenever people call out Europe for having paid toilets, commenters always show up to say they’re glad toilets aren’t free because they’d be so filthy otherwise.

I’m glad you nipped that in the bud. Euro paid toilets have always been outright disgusting and not once better than the free toilets found literally anywhere else in the semi-developed world in my experience. I’ll take a free SE Asian toilet over a paid French toilet any day of the week.

Nice thing about ads in toilets is frustrated users will be very creative in showing their lack of satisfaction with commercials blasting while they piss.
Apple is making you use a new phone by dropping support for it in their OS updates.

The fact that this happens at all anywhere at any time at any place for any reason, and can't just install an update yourself should be unacceptable and legislated against

Here’s another back of the envelope calculation: it will be possible at some point to automate 80% of coding. But according to the Pareto principle 20% of work takes 80% of time. So worst case scenario it will save you 20% of time. Still nothing to sneeze at. But not 5x productivity boost. Rather “plus one fifth”. But still - it’s much better than nothing!
Surely Aleppo. Financial institutions are responsible for making sure their customers don't circumvent sanctions, don't launder money etc. If PayPal would not stopped this transaction, it could be a huge liability for them in regards to financial regulators.

Unfortunately, I do not know of a better solution than "match transaction data on this list of regexes" that would scale for the millions of daily payments that banks are processing.
I completely agree. I don't really understand the hurry?
Everything is a matter of perspective though so this is a pretty meaningless statement. And telling someone who stays with Windows because of gaming that 5 games is "more than enough games to fill your time" is one of the big problems with the Linux Desktop community: You seek to change the user's use case rather than make the OS better at the one they actually have.
Government jobs for instance (if you live in a country where that is an option). Medical profession would also be immune for some time but med school is too hard of a switch in terms of time.
But you wrote it in reply to a description of 10s or 100s of lines of trivial members.

Maybe D doesn't have such a thing, as I said I don't plan to go look, but all the other languages I used as examples certainly do. Rust's Vec has almost 50 public associated functions, a few are non-trivial, but many are, and of course they take up hundreds of lines.

https://github.com/microsoft/STL/blob/main/stl/inc/vector is almost 4000 lines. As I said, C++ makes even a trivial function into a horrible mess like this:

_CONSTEXPR20 void shrink_to_fit() { // reduce capacity to size, provide strong guarantee
auto& _My_data = _Mypair._Myval2;
const pointer _Oldlast = _My_data._Mylast;
if (_Oldlast != _My_data._Myend) { // something to do
const pointer _Oldfirst = _My_data._Myfirst;
if (_Oldfirst == _Oldlast) {
_Tidy();
} else {
_Reallocate_exactly(static_cast<size_type>(_Oldlast - _Oldfirst));
}
}
}
Only one third? At the size of the deficit that number is significant.

As for the rest. The taxpayer is paying the interest to borriw as well. So that's a wash. Then there's the bureaucratic overhead devoted to the deficit. That's a loss.

The reality is, it's a net loss to the taxpayer. That is money is magically moving around and too little value is being delivered. Ask any taxpayer if they're getting value.

I agree that imperative programming is not the right thing for CSS. Browser layout is basically a constraint solving problem, and there are languages that take constraint solving as their core computational model. Mercury is an example of this approach: https://mercurylang.org/

(I'm not saying Mercury is the best language for CSS. It's just an example of a constraint logic programming language, which are programming languages that have constraint satisfaction as a core part of the language.)
Sounds like you wandered into the search department by accident
US culture is exported everywhere, so it is only fair to ask for accuracy.
The OP was describing their work on network code, not whitelabel websites. The work of making whitelabel websites was already hollowed out by firms in cheap markets (India, SE Asia).

A calculator didn't make mathematicians obsolete. It aided in the creation of more complex mathematicians.
In a game loop you can typically pass in the time (delta) since the last frame update. Everything else is a function of that plus the values since the last update.
> The replacement is an 800eur ipad, because it's now effectively a pro model rather than the cheap one, and I'm not sure I can justify that.

I find this hard to believe. A $300 iPad mini 2 from 2015 is comparable in specs to an 800 Euro 2023 iPad Pro?

Edit: Actually, you can compare them directly on Apple’s website:

https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/?modelList=ipad-mini-2,ip...

Even the current iPad mini (6th gen) blows the iPad mini 2 out of the water.

Ask it to show you an example of how to use nom parser in Rust and try to compile and run the example.

Try a few times and ask for more complex example.
For reference, can you give rough percentages of regret after a sex change vs an average medical intervention?
Mostly what pell said.

The idea was to make the product "the album" again. In the past, the buying experience of a physical product was important to make it a powerful and personal experience: you had nice artwork, leaflet with information about the music you bought, bio of the performers etc. I wanted to try to recover some of that.
Yes...one false positive on transaction screening certainly justifies replacing the current banking model with a payment system almost exclusively used by scammers and criminals.
Hard to figure out how to innovate on education (slow to change institutions) in the face of such rapid change.

I actually feel my university education prepared me well for what’s going on. I studied a mix of theoretical comp science, physics, philosophy, and mathematics (esp calculus and number theory). Very little of what I learned is obsoleted, and especially probability theory and NLP are turning out to be very valuable to know when working with even CoPilot.

But man, I feel bad for those studying “programming” as a trade rather than computer science as a scientific / engineering discipline.
If you are writing code as if you are a prompt yourself: specs in, code out. Then yes, I would get worried.

But most developers do and know much more than that. They have domain knowledge, understand the relation between different systems and understand the codebase as a whole, not just a specific file or function that does one specific thing.

Don't give up. Try to use this new tool to improve your knowledge and use it to you advantage.
So, you stumble on some high-quality code, very-high-quality code, that has worked flawlessly for decades (and if you don't perceive it as flawless, then convince yourself it's your fault), and you dare mature an idea about modifying it?

Mayhem be on you!

Just because it produces sequences of tokens that we typically experience as evidence of reasoning does not mean that it reasoned to produce them. We know -- generally -- the process by which those tokens were produced. It is not deterministic, but its properties are understood. It's a language model! It is not a mind.
Yeah, supplements can have a "honeymoon phase" sometimes, but it will wear off quickly.

Sadly, this phase is also when most people write their reviews of supplements.
It’s definitely not perfect, but I’m enjoying it, as someone who has been unhappy with Spotify’s haphazard approach to classical music.

I was exploring the “Harpsichord“ category and Bach’s Toccata No. 6 in G Minor, and saw a performance by Glenn Gould: “Glen Gould on the harpsichord? Oh, how interesting! [listens] How...not a harpsichord.”

So there are still a few bugs to be worked out.
Human language use, even US-UK is full of similar issues. The point is not a claim of AGI (I think neither the G nor the I is boolean, so don't find much value in the term) this is more of "hey, this is somewhat useful in this kind of situation".

FWIW, I also don't know about Francophone countries; sadly, despite the language lessons being mandatory for 5 years of my schooling, my grasp of it is so bad that even had to have my "I don't speak French" corrected.
>"I would love to be able to work on such a wide breadth of fields, are you open to sharing how you get to work in such a variety of platforms?"

I guess we have different education and general background. I am 62 yo fart. Was raised in former USSR in a satellite town that existed soleily to accommodate bunch of scientists working in various fields. When not in school I would spend my time visiting my parent's place of work and got to play with very cool "toys" and people there were nice enough and let me "work" on tiny projects of various nature. I then done my M.Sc. in physics / biophysics and continued to work as a scientist. So I was basically trained to solve various problems in creative manner. Was never trained specifically in software.

I had wonderful teachers and mentors and can't ever express enough gratitude to them. Many of them are dead by now anyways.

During a course of my work as a scientist I needed to design various mechanical gizmos, electronics (digital and analog) and write some software since nothing existed for my particular field. I just got myself whole bunch of books and read and tried until I succeeded.

Then "perestroyka" started and I began to supplement my "official" income with writing a software as an independent consultant. Computer industry back then was very young, and I had no troubles finding contract work to create various products. My first side software project was PC based visual designer (something akin to music sequencer) to control lighting system for big theater.

I then immigrated to Canada and eventually ended up working basically as chief software product designer and implementor. First as an employee in software development company and then on my own.

As for diversity of the fields - when working on particular product I imagine software as a bunch of living components interacting with each other. I then nail down what those components and interactions are. I then get down to implementing it. Particular computer language, deployment platform and other pesky details are the last thing I worry about.

Over the years I've accumulated large portfolio of products and present those as a references when getting new contracts. I mostly deal with business owners and those do not give a flying fuck about languages. They want actual problems solved.

>"coding from scratch"

I do extensively use various libraries. But very specific problem oriented. Like graphics libraries. I avoid frameworks like a plague most of the time as those in my opinion degrade creativity and keep one hostage.
What do you know about the code written by the people you are replying to?

Lots of code expresses buisness strategy that is a competitive advantage/ sensitive.

My org has done a risk assessment and accepted the risk of using such tools; arguing there is no risk is short sighted.
We don’t have a lot of good history on this, but there’s basically only one instance of such a deep and lasting depression and it occurred after central banking was established, not before.
Microsoft certifications back then, yes, practice hard enough I recognised the shape of the question text, and knew what the answer was! Past exams had the same

If you have this insight, you're already ahead of the game.

The background of orthodox macroeconomics, and the rationale for raising rates in response to inflation, comes from Keynes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_General_Theory_of_Employme...

> And what does it mean for a Zelle account to be banned for life?

Considering that Zelle is focused on traditional bank-to-bank transfers, probably something pretty sketchy to be banned.
Apple supports the phones for 7 years, the current proposals floating around the EU are to mandate 4 years. They also don’t break anything, the apple services all continue to work forever, it’s 3rd party devs who drop support for older api versions. Nothing makes them do this.
I was trying to create an AWS IAM policy restricted to assumed roles. I didn't know you can't use assumed roles in principalArn conditions blocks but must refer to the IAM role instead. Gpt4 happily wasted an hour by shuffling the conditions around etc instead of telling me this. Sometimes it's policies were even malformed, and in all cases they didn't work.
I just benchmarked the storage on my phone, and it seems fine. But I'm guessing the benchmark doesn't touch the most heavily-worn parts of the storage.
