GPT 3.5 gives me 22 days in June and a fairly simple working out.

GPT 4 answers 20 days (wrong) and an overly complicated working out where it spends most of its time explaining Zeller's Congruence to find day of the week for the start day of June. By the time I read it I could probably have gone and found a paper calendar and counted.

If you're eating the same meal every day and/or every meal, it's actually pretty easy..

Worked on project in a small team, where the lead developer had a heart attack shortly after the project started. I had to step up to take on his role, though he was back in work 3 weeks later. As it was at the start of the project, it didn't suffer any real issues.

Most affiliate networks provide product data feeds for a lot of their members.

Nearly all affiliates I've seen prevent scraping in their terms and conditions of affiliation.. they will also have a limit of the types of marketing you can do, which may exclude comparison sites.

Alternatively, write a few blog articles on some of the products you are comparing and add some links to them, then you have content.

Found out both my father and I possibly had a tendency to iron overload (or haemochromatosis). Blood test then found both of us to have very high iron stored in bodies.

High stored iron is linked with all sorts of bad stuff in the body, particularly CAD.

Isn't this just 4 many-to-many tables and querying using joins, not a graph database?

We've been displaying Amazon CPM display ads on a site for over 2 years now. This is an ad network for affiliates, but paid by CPM. It's mostly a mix of large brand adverts and Amazon remarketing ads (normally for products you've looked at).

The service is about to be shutdown though at the end of this month, and their suggestion is that we apply to their larger header bidding network (Unified Ad Marketplace), but not sure we'll qualify for that.

Yes, they spent about 5 minutes hyping it up to mucho mucho applause by the crowd.

I was baffled!

OMG!!! But Dark mode!!! It's like, so, so cool ...

I can't believe I can be allowed to change the colours of the desktop after years of Jony Ive dictating/advising what my desktop should look like.

It made my router lockup for some reason, even changing DNS locally on PC seemed to give some routing issues. Router reboot seemed to sort out.
