Here's my updated schedule:
Yes, I'm still too lazy to type it all up and make it pretty.
A temporary, jury-rigged solution, especially in the fields of computer programming and engineering: the technical equivalent of chewing gum and duct tape. Compare to kludge.That's definition number two, not to be confused with "hacker," the first definition:
To program a computer in a clever, virtuosic, and wizardly manner. Ordinary computer jockeys merely write programs; hacking is the domain of digital poets. Hacking is a subtle and arguably mystical art...That last one I would more readily attribute to a Professional, though when you start talking mystical I think overly complicated.
CREATE TABLE period_typesINSERT statements for PERIOD_TYPES:
CONSTRAINT pk_periodtypecode PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE periods
CONSTRAINT pk_periodid PRIMARY KEY,
REFERENCES period_types( periodtypecode )
INSERT INTO period_types( periodtypecode ) VALUES ( 'DAY' );Now we need to populate the PERIODS table. First up, DAYS:
INSERT INTO period_types( periodtypecode ) VALUES ( 'WEEK' );
INSERT INTO period_types( periodtypecode ) VALUES ( 'MONTH' );
INSERT INTO periodsThis will give you 10,000 records starting on January 1, 2000.
TO_DATE( '31-DEC-99', 'DD-MON-YY' ) + rownum startdate,
TO_DATE( '31-DEC-99 23:59:59', 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS' ) + rownum enddate
CONNECT BY level <= 10000
INSERT INTO periodsTo generate the WEEKs data, you could simply use the records created for DAY (like I did with MONTHs below), but I was lazy.
enddate + 6,
TO_DATE( '31-DEC-00', 'DD-MON-YY' ) + rownum startdate,
TO_DATE( '31-DEC-00 23:59:59', 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS' ) + rownum enddate
CONNECT BY level <= 10000
WHERE TO_CHAR( startdate, 'D' ) = 1;
INSERT INTO periodsOK, so how do you use this?
ADD_MONTHS( date_from, 1 ) - ( 1 / 86400 ),
WHERE periodtypecode = 'DAY'
AND TO_CHAR( date_from, 'DD' ) = 1;

You are called plain Kate,
And bonny Kate and sometimes Kate the curst;
But Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom
Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate,
For dainties are all Kates, and therefore, Kate,
Take this of me, Kate of my consolation.

...is a collaboratively edited site for problem solvers/inventors - regardless of problem or field.It sounded eerily familiar to something Chen Shapira linked up here awhile back, Project Euler.
We are a bunch of math enthusiasts who decided to create a framework for submitting and solving problems. However, the framework is not limited to math problems, any problem, puzzle, or trivia question can be submitted to project Eureka. Similarly, for people who prepare for various tests project Eureka offers the possibility of grouping multiple problems in a test
application programming interface (API) is a set of routines, data structures, object classes and/or protocols provided by libraries and/or operating system services in order to support the building of applications.Easy enough. I think the vast majority of readers understand that.
...encapsulation is the hiding of the internal mechanisms and data structures of a software component behind a defined interface, in such a way that users of the component (other pieces of software) only need to know what the component does, and cannot make themselves dependent on the details of how it does it. The purpose is to achieve potential for change: the internal mechanisms of the component can be improved without impact on other components, or the component can be replaced with a different one that supports the same public interface.I think that sums it up nicely.
Encapsulation also protects the integrity of the component, by preventing users from setting the internal data of the component into an invalid or inconsistent state.
Another benefit of encapsulation is that it reduces system complexity and thus increases robustness, by limiting the interdependencies between software components.
...For example, a simple digital alarm clock is a real-world object that a lay person can use and understand. They can understand what the alarm clock does, and how to use it through the provided interface (buttons and screen), without having to understand every part inside of the clock. Similarly, if you replaced the clock with a different model, the lay person could continue to use it in the same way, provided that the interface works the same.
People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. Across 4 studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, andAs Niall suggested, try to read it self-critically.
logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration to deficits in metacognitive skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error...
