Wolfram Alpha still has the same old bug:

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2016-04-04+to+2019-01-3... = 2 years 9 months 27 days

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2019-01-31+to+2016-04-0... = 2 years 9 months 26 days

The duration should be identical but is off by one day.

One day a space mission will fail due to this bug.

Reported several times, they never cared.

Do you still have any of the reports open? I might have some debug info. This appears to be an error with consecutive months with 31 days.

Jan 2024 - Nov 2023 example (both cases show "2 months 1 day"):

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2024-01-31+to+2023-11-2...

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2024-01-30+to+2023-11-2...

Aug 2024 - Jun 2024 example (same bug):

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2024-08-31+to+2024-06-2...

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2024-08-30+to+2024-06-2...

The same thing doesn't happen from Jul 2024 - May 2024 (results vary by 1 day):

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2024-07-31+to+2024-05-2...

Counting months and days are two very different metrics.

Months are lunar. Days are solar.

Depends on the calendar system, as far as this discussion goes, the Greogorian calendar system is solar even for months.

This is fascinating. Even sillier example, https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2019-01-31+to+2016-04-0... and https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2019-01-30+to+2016-04-0...

both show an identical duration of 2 years 9 months 26 days (edit: despite reporting 1032 and 1031 days respectively).

What on earth are you smoking, that is NOT the actual link. That is some woo-woo garbage page. Please check this thread again.

If you look at the actual FA, it cites the article from mamavation. That is literally the first link, in the FA.

It's interesting -- I only play Wordle on hard mode, so these "restrictions" seem perfectly good and fine to me. I guess if you're not used to it they seem onerous.

Though I guess to be fair Wordle doesn't force hard mode, so it seems this version shouldn't either.

You could just keep guessing words which have all grayed out letters. The only way this version works is using the 'hard' mode.

Firefighting is one of those absolutely basic parts of civilization who's importance is obvious to everyone. If people are robbing firefighters then social cohesion is completely dead.
EntropicBrew · 3 years ago
I think the article is on Frieghtliners not firefighting trucks. But robbery is still absolutely an issue.
