It does sound amateurish eh? I do most of my business logic inside Microsoft SQL Server Stored Procedure, and MS SQL just takes care of date pretty well.

But then, come to think of it, you don't need to use SQL to have good date logic. C# and Java both have excellent date handing libraries. I don't know about C++, but I'd be surprised if there was not a modern date library for C++, so I am of the opinion there should be no excuses for software not to work on the 29th of Feb.
Sorry to hear you've worked in such a depressing part of the industry. I've worked with some incredibly motivated and talented people and this is not my impression at all.

Still, it's an old, large and hugely complex interconnected system made up of literally thousands of banks employing millions of people and several regulatory bodies run by different federal and state administrations.

Such interconnected systems/networks are notoriously hard to evolve, especially given that, as you also noted, people are often extremely conservative when it comes to their life savings. I don't think it's fair to blame the people working in the industry for all of that or even call them lazy.
I think the stranger assumption is that all of these fast food chains won't just add some simple bread to their menu. Bread is incredibly easy/cheap to make.
The irony of the US worrying about stuff like this when they spent years introducing security vulnerabilities into SSL and TLS for decades for "exported software" (esp. when that then became a flaw that undermined people in the US) :-/

Apple never announced a project to build a car. Nor did they announce the cancellation of a project to build a car.

Reporters reported on internal communications and noteworthy patterns in who was hired.

Apple does not pre-announce products by more than 6-9 months, and only that in cases where developer support is needed at launch.

More generally, Apple is notorious for having policies around new product secrecy that are vastly more elaborate than other tech companies. Using Microsoft and Meta as comps seems like a bad idea.
i appreciate the new information! i haven't used clang much for reasons that are probably not very good

probably bytecode interpreters are a better solution for this sort of thing anyway, at least when you have more than 512 bytes of program memory or so. in forth with gforth locals the function is

: sumarray { a n } 0 n 0 ?do a i cells + @ + loop ;

and the body (after the }) consists of 12 instructions, almost all of which would be a single byte each in compact bytecodes like smalltalk-80 or emacs lisp. this might even beat clang's 18-byte rvc version above. there's a sequence of three of them that would conventionally be a single operation (cells + @), but conventionally you'd also use extra instructions to load and store the variable `total` inside and outside the loop instead of leaving it on the stack, so you'd end up with 13 instructions. and the ?do and loop instructions normally have an offset, so you're at 15 bytes, plus the subroutine header

gforth of course uses 8 bytes per instruction and doesn't have a structure like smalltalk's method header to compactly encode the number of locals, so gforth itself is not very frugal with code space; instead { a n } compiles to >l >l at the beginning and lp+2 at the end
If you have date/time problems that are unrelated to leap years, there's a 1/~1,461 chance of it happening on a Feb 29th.

Given how many devs/techies/linux users/(and even non-techy users of tech) will encounter random time or date related bugs and problems every year, it would be surprising if there weren't a few people getting that coincidence every time a Feb 29th rolls round (or put another way, it seems likely that there's more than one person in the world having a similar "no idea what caused that" date/time bug every day of the year, including this one). So maybe related, but I wouldn't call it one hell of a coincidence if it's not related.

> [4] Readers of a certain age might sensibly ask what “cyber” means. Consider it a way to gesture broadly at technology used almost exclusively by people who both do not understand technology and feel some amount of pride in that. Teams at large retailers, believing online commerce was doomed to be a tiny sideline like catalogs and only worth tens of billions of dollars, were involved in naming Cyber Monday. The other place you’re likely to hear it frequently is American national security circles, which exist in a superposition of understanding that technology can certainly be used to kill people and break things while also believing that it’s not a real way to kill people and break things if it is the sort of technology built by people who look like pre-juice Steve Rogers.
I have never seen a keyboard with a number pad on the left-hand side in my life and I have never bought a keyboard without a number pad. I also don't have coordination issues with my right hand and have never heard anyone complain about not being able to reach their mouse because of a number pad. Go figure.
The most intriguing part is that you not only have to bake your own bread, you also have to sell it standalone (not just part of a burger/sub). Seems like it would be very easy for Subway to start selling their store-baked bread standalone — have they done this already, or are they paying the new wage?
> Off topic, but I hadn't heard much of this. Do you have sources?

I have no other sources apart from anecdotes from a childhood friend with Celiac. He claimed that it was common knowledge in the Celiac community. I did the same search that you likely did and there seems to be some supporting evidence for such association.

> Or just correlation. One factor among many. A rut that people fall in. Maybe all of this.

I think this likely accounts for much condition-associated personality behavior, but not all.

A few years ago I was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos. Shortly after I stumbled across this:
https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/2017-eds-classification-non-ex...

Of course, the pain of Ehlers will inevitable impact upon personality, that is obvious (fortunately my pain is manageable). But also mentioned is this:

> The underlying mechanisms include genetic risks, problems with the automatic control of body functions, sensitivity to external and internal stimuli, and decreased sense of position. Recent studies have also shown an increase response in emotion processing brain areas which could explain the high emotional reactivity.

'Decreased sense of position' seems so odd and specific and something I clearly recognize in myself.
They cannot:

(i) An establishment that on September 1, 2022, operates a bakery that produces for sale on the establishment’s premises bread as defined under Part 136 of Subchapter B of Chapter I of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations shall not be considered a fast food restaurant, so long as it continues to operate such a bakery. This exemption applies only where the establishment produces for sale bread as a stand-alone menu item, and does not apply if the bread is available for sale solely as part of another menu item.

I’m confused. Was this an executive order or did it come out of the legislature? If the latter, then why does Newsom’s comment bother you so much? There are probably a lot of weird exemption in there, especially since it goes after an industry, you have to define fast food now.
Thanks! Yeah, we've been thinking about fair pricing for a long time.
This is a decent metric, my only problem with it is calling it the 'True' rate, implying that the other measures are 'False'.

I looked at a C++ codebase from 1997 at a previous job - I don't know much about the history but comments in one of the old files tracked dates and changes to 2001.
Not sure what happened after that but in 2017 someone copy-pasted the project from TFS to git and obliterated the prior history.

Second Reality code review (2013)
There is no general problem. There is the act of doing business between parties. You do this across N relationships. You have N vendor contacts. You document them. You deal with them. This is what working with someone is like! Of course after doing the same thing 3 or 4 times you might understand some patterns, but even if you don't totally factor it out you'll at least have a general pattern.

The point is you don't write the is_holiday function, you might write "is_jp_govt_holiday" or "is_mufj_bank_holiday" (though really it might be more "is_mufj_bank_transfer_csv_acceptance_day" or whatever), that might look at "is_jp_govt_holiday". You write functions to their contexts, in a specific way. This lets you write "hacks" that aren't hacks when you get the specific email. A bunch of tiny, specific functions calling other tiny, specific functions.

5-word functions might look gnarly but they will be specific, and you got the magic of autocomplete to save you some typing.

Step 0 sounds so easy. Until you realize __time__ exists. Then you take that away, and you find out that some compiler heuristics might not be deterministic.

Then you discover -frandom-seed - and go ballistic when you read "but it should be a different seed for each sourcefile"

Then you figure out your linker likes emitting a timestamp in object files. Then you discover /Brepro (if you're lucky enough to use lld-link.

Then you used to discover that Win7's app compat db expected a "real" timestamp, and a hash just won't do. (Thank God, that's dead now). This is usually the part where you start questioning your life choices.

Then somebody comes to your desk and asks if you can also make partial rebuilds deterministic.

On the upside, step 1 is usually quick, there will be no tests.

I wouldn't expect google to mess this up but then again someone probably calculated value produced vs project cost and tossed this one at the bottom of the pile 10 times already. 66/100k people (0.066%, close to the definition for a rare disease) would be born on 29th of feb on a uniform distribution, probably minus another 5% or so because february is in many places the least likely month to be born into. And out of those people how many actually put in their real birthday? Still odd to mess up a subtraction though.

The rule is that leap years are the ones divisible by 4. Unless it’s also divisible by 100. Unless unless it’s divisible by 400.

So 2000 was leap, but 2100, 2200, and 2300 won’t be, but 2400 will be.

Politically editorialized data. They just redefine what unemployed/underemployed means.

But the official numbers are undercounting the unemployed because they also changed the way they interpret the numbers.

The real unemployment rate using the old measurement methods is probably around 8% which isn't good, but it's not 23% which would be deep depression type numbers.
The Governor doesn’t write laws though.

On bad drug pricing research
David Peterson is paid to make languages for a living and has made many. He’s excellent at it. More importantly, he doesn’t get to do whatever he wants. Sometimes, he’s told to keep to source material, and other times he isn’t. In the end, however, he’s delivering a product to a paying customer. I met him once a linguistics conference, and he’s a sharp guy from what I gathered.

Before making claims about what he did or why he did, you should look him up. He too has degrees, but that shouldn’t make a difference. He’s created a wide variety of languages for many different projects, he founded the language creation society, and in general he gets extremely familiar with the source material for each project in which he’s involved. He’s not a huckster, and he definitely doesn’t focus on marketability of his work beyond his direct customer (though his customers may, but that ain’t on him).

"The bill in question emerged from months of negotiations, presided over by Newsom’s office, between organized labor and the fast food industry. The two sides ultimately forged a truce that averted a ballot fight over a referendum challenging a more sweeping fast food labor law that the governor signed in 2022."

The lawmakers calling for the investigation are Republicans and presumably didn't vote for it.

For sure. The overhead for communication is much lower. It’s possible to emulate this to some extent at a large company (I worked at AWS previously) by keeping teams small (6-10 people) while keeping team scope large (full lifecycle of an entire product family or vertical). For this to be successful I believe you need to give the team autonomy to decide what product and features to build, and room to fail without repercussions to allow for experimentation and calculated risk taking.
This is a valuable way of looking at employment in the US. Unfortunately in the current political climate this will probably be immediately weaponized instead of getting the nuanced discussion that it deserves.

We have a rails 6 app, and there's a test that essentially expects time_ago_in_words(1.year.from_now) to return "about 1 year" (as part of a user facing message). The test failed. I thought it's a flaky test but i was able to reproduce it locally. Turns out executing that code on a leap day returns "almost 1 year" instead.
Can test it in rails console if you are interested:

> What he fails to take into account is the fact that the wide availability of audiovisual distribution of language has a conservational effect that we've not really seen before. So for instance, while there is a large variety of English dialects in the US, "Broadcast English" and "General American" are quite stable and broadly available.

Is this true? I don’t think it is. Go watch or listen to some audiovisual records from not even a century ago, like a classic Hollywood film or one of the old WWII training films on YouTube for instance. If you listen for it, you will hear a dialectical drift.
