Chapter 14 Work
I arrived at the place of my future work safely. I applied to Kleinert. I handed to him the papers. I was accepted for work. It involved wearing and laying rail rails at the Borsigwerk station. I stayed in the barrack. There were about forty of us. The food, as in the camps, tasted great. I received a certificate as a railway worker. After work I was able to move freely. I went to Bytom. I wrote letters to the concentration camp in Neuengamme, to Zdzich Piwowarczyk from Radomsko and to his fiancée Kazi Wrzalikówny in Radomsko. I did put the return the address on the envelope.
Meanwhile, in my hometown, Brzeźnica nad Warta, on the border of the Reich with the General Government, they were notified about our escape. The gendarmerie called for help of the border guards and they were constantly looking for me. Vigilance on the border was reassigned. To my father’s house, they did the most accurate revisions, including the removal of floors. In the presence of Morga, a resident of Brzeźnica, who served as an interpreter, houses were thoroughly inspected every few days for all the attics and cellars, and finally my parents were arrested.
It is unknown what would have happened if the sad accident hadn’t determined their fate. Well, two fugitives, apparently in a similar situation to ours, drove the freight train. Before the station in Brzeźnica, serving as a borderline, they jumped out of the train. They had apparently noticed them, because all the border guards and gendarmes were on their feet and the border was crawling with guards.
The result was sad. The poor, unknown refugees did not expect anything. At dusk they came out of the hideout to cross the border. They went straight into the checkpoints. They received a series of machine guns. They died on the spot.
<IP_ADDRESS>.1 NOTE from translator
The identity of the two refugees will be impossible to elucidate. They might have been survivors of the uprising of Warszawa, which took place around that time.
My parents were taken out of prison to identify the bodies. It was already dark, as my father told me. In the light of the electric lights, the facial features seemed similar. According to the data one was bigger and the other, like me, smaller. Dirty from the mud, it was not easy to recognize.
At the sight of the dead, the parents fell into despair and recognized in one of the lying corpses as being me.
To the great joy of the Germans, and the despair of the parents, a photograph was taken which was then sent to the concentration camp in Neuengamme. The parents were released from prison and the dead were send to the morgue.
As this, I was deleted from the German records of the living. After returning home and mourning my death, the parents began to think about the whole incident. At one point they recalled that I was wounded in the left leg and arm during the war in 1939. I had a scar on my left leg and on my left hand. The mother decided to go to the corpse and identify the corpse of the dead. None of the corpses found scars. She was very happy. She returned home, not telling anyone about it, except my father.
The work in Borsigwerk was quite heavy. It would not be unusual for my work if it were not for the fact that I had to provide my place of birth and the last place of residence, which was Krumbach (Wielkopolska) under the Wieluń. From where many of my current colleagues came from. They started asking me where I lived, where I worked, etc. I was like a snake trying to crawl out of it.  I did not even see this place, even didn’t knew about it. Starzała, whose name I received, was certainly born there and lived there, but I did not even know where this Krzyworzeka place was.
During the winter we drove snow from the Borsigwerk and Bobrek railway tracks. That’s how November and December passed by. For Christmas, I went to Wieluń to visit the Kwieciński. On the road there were tight controls on the trains. Many of my current colleagues are arrested. I returned safely I went back to wait for the liberation.
In Borsigwerk and the surrounding area, the controls were tightened. Documents were checked at every opportunity, even at the exit of the cinema. Our barracks were visited by the Gestapo more and more often. From time to time, colleagues were taken away at night.
I was constantly on the alert. I took charge of the snow at night, and in the day I slept a little, so as not to fall into the hands of the Gestapo.
Upon returning from Wielun, they began to check me out. My personal data was written the second time. More and more they got interested in me. I had to disappear. I managed to get Biskupic. There I got a job at a bakery at Czernego (supposedly a Czech German). I replaced the baker who had gone to the army. In the bakery, working as a “professional” baking rolls of bread I survived until the entry of Soviet troops.


Warehouse Keeper Hagger:
I was one of the founding members of the coin collecting club. People made fun of me for collecting things, but I was simply collecting coins. However... For a number of reasons, I'm still at level 3...
Take a look at my impressive coin list. If there's something you'd like, please bring me thelowest grade coin.

A module's deployment descriptor file always contains a document type identifier, DOCTYPE. The DOCTYPE statement contains the module DTD version number in the label of the statement. The format of the DOCTYPE statement is: <!DOCTYPE root_element PUBLIC "-//organization//label//language" "location"> root_element - is the name of the root document in the DTD. organization - is the name of the organization responsible for the creation and maintenance of the DTD being referenced. label - is a unique descriptive name for the public text being referenced. language - is the ISO 639 language id representing the natural language encoding of th DTD. location - is the URL of the DTD. An example Java EE deployment descriptor DOCTYPE statement is: <!DOCTYPE application-client PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application Client 1.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/application-client_1_3.dtd"> In this example the label is, "DTD J2EE Application Client 1.3", and the DTD version number is 1.3. A call to getModuleDTDVersion would return a string containing, "1.3".This method is being deprecated. With the addition of multiple deployment descritors in components for J2EE 1.4 this method is being replaced by DDBeanRoot.getDDBeanRootVersion.

Hi there! 👋🏼
I’m a qualified music teacher that (somehow) ended up working as a lead software engineer (it’s a long story), and I built this for my husband ❤.
He’s a phenomenal guitarist, and over the past few years has worked on learning modes and scale theory for the guitar (with a little help from me). Obviously, the internet is great for this kind of stuff, but what he felt the world wide web was lacking was an interactive and informative tool he could use in his practice sessions that had everything he needed on one single page.
Enter the Fretonator!
The Fretonator is your new interactive tool for learning common modes on the guitar, understanding the chord theory behind the modes, and most importantly - having a jam.
The code for the Fretonator is available to view on GitHub and I am gratefully welcoming feedback from musicians, pull requests from software engineers, and anything else you are willing to contribute.
Thank you and happy jamming! 🎸
Salma
The Fretonator is free and always will be! 🙌🏼

Hello!
The APOD email service was knocked down recently and I'm sorry about that.
I had been using my alumni account at the University of Wisconsin, Madison to send emails. A few weeks ago, I ran into an email quota of theirs so I was unable to send daily emails to all of you. Who knew this list would grow so much?!
I've put some work into the infrastructure and moved more of it into a hosted environment on Google so I have a pretty robust solution going forward to send out hundreds of thousands of emails per month. Starting today, APOD will be back in your inbox!
This new solution is more expensive for me to host than it was previously, however. If you are able to, I would definitely appreciate a small donation to help me cover these costs. A few of you have made donations already - thank you! Every little bit helps.
An online donation form can be found here on Paypal.
Cheers.

|
|
Today introduced new changes on parser.
Changed lights detection:
-Now landing lighs are free to use while plane is on ground.
-Once you have taked off, you have 5 minutes to free use lights.

- You can use lights in previous 5 minutes to land. If you dont land in
less than 5 minutes, it will count as a fault (less points and reduce
fairplay)
Pilot Kill detection:
Now when somebody kills a pilot
(not a gunner) the airkill will be assigned to the pilot who scored the
pilot kill. No matter what later FB engine assigns the kill to. Pilot
that recive a PK can leave game without waiting plane crash.
Safe Landing detection:
Now is considered a safe landing only when you land in a friendly base. If you land at any place not in base (dich, crash land, emergency landing) you have to bail out. If you dont bail you get MIA status.
This is because there are many dichs on enemy territory and FB do
not assigns MIA status on this cases. The exploid to avoid be captured
was: dich + disconect. So, now if you dich you have to bail always:
if dich is on friendly zone, you get bailed. If you dich on enemy,
sometimes you get MIA, and sometimes you get bailed (escape). This
depends on internal FB engine. If you dont bail, parser assumes
exploid, no matter if you are on friendly or not zone.
If you have an accident before take off, you have to bail too.
If you land before 5 minutes of mission progress you will NOT be counted as "safe in base", and you will get MIA if you dont bail. This is to avoid taking off and landing for the points.
To sumarize:
Normal land on base (after 5 minutes flight)=> safe on base => you can bail, bail flag is cleared.
Emerg land on base => safe on base => you can bail, bail flag is cleared
Emerg land outside base => not safe on base => you have to bail or you get captured.
In this last case, the status will be what FB engine logs after you bail out.
If you don't land in base: always bail, no matter how long you take.
if you land in base: if you
like, you can bail too, and bail will not be showed. This can help host
protection from been strafed, but worls for all, not only hosts.
As said, this cases are like just steping out plane and going for a beer after mission.

Hello.
Now you have 2 new admin tools, aviable from the register menu:
( http://il2fb-bellum.com.ar/registro.html )
Leave Squadron: ( http://il2fb-bellum.com.ar/leave_squadron.php )
+ From here you can remove your pilot from a squadron.
+ Your will be placed in a default holder squadron called NONE.
Your stats will be not deleted.
Delete Pilot: ( http://il2fb-bellum.com.ar/delete_pilot.php )
+ From here you can delete your pilot from database. Name and stats will be erased, and no chance to recover them.
+ You cant delete your self if you are member of a squadron. If
this is the case, you have to first "Leave Squadron" and after that
"Delete pilot".
Squad admin >> Squadron >> Remove pilot
+Now, in suqad admin tools there is a poction to remove an active
pilot from squadron squadron. To do that you have to be the CO or XO
with edit rights. Load squad admin page, select your squadron and then
select the pilot nickname to remove from squadron.
+Basically this is the same as "Leave squadron" but here you have
the option to select a name of your squadron members list. Same
restrictions aply if you are the CO and you are removing yourself from
here: not allowed till you design a new CO.
Please, report in this topic any problem you find related to this new options, or in bug land forum.

What We Do
Our purpose is to promote menstrual hygiene management and to
empower women through advocacy, education, and service.
The UAB Chapter of Camions of Care seeks to raise awareness
and serve the Birmingham, Alabama community.
The National Organization
ADVOCACY
In society, females often struggle to afford expensive menstrual hygiene products every month. Though feminine hygiene products necessary to maintain a healthful lifestyle are often considered luxury items, they are in fact basic necessities that should be readily accessible to women of all income levels. The high cost of these products are especially restrictive for women who are less fortunate and prevent them from achieving their full potential. As a Camions of Care chapter, our main goals are to provide basic hygiene care packages for low-income or homeless women in the Birmingham area who struggle to afford them and empower these women to take charge of their lives.
EDUCATION
To prevent the further perpetuation of the stigma surrounding menstruation, we seek to educate young men and women in the Birmingham city schools. The UAB chapter will hold educational seminars in a private setting focusing on menstrual hygiene to female students in the area. In addition, male students will also be included in the discussion with wider personal hygiene and health talks for both genders. By giving these lectures, we can facilitate an open discussion about major health complications women face and promote awareness for female health.
SERVICE
Our chapter collaborates with many Birmingham organizations such as community kitchens, women’s shelters, and health centers. In order to raise money for care packages, we host fundraising events such as percentage nights at local restaurants and seek sponsorships from established groups around the area, among many other programs. In addition to raising money we also host donation drives on campus. Once we achieve our fundraising goals, we begin distributing care packages to women in compromised situations who need them. By providing these care packages to women in need, we are enabling women to care of themselves during their menstrual cycle and pursue their goals.

--- layout: post title: "Simple holidays" description: "A story about arriving at the simplest solution that could possibly work." date: 2017-04-24 13:42 UTC tags: [Software Design, Architecture] --- {% include JB/setup %}
{{ page.description }}
The Zen of Python states: Simple is better than complex. If I've met a programmer who disagrees with that, I'm not aware of it. It's hardly a controversial assertion, but what does 'simplicity' mean? Can you even identify a simple solution?
I often see software developers defaulting to complex solutions, because a simpler solution isn't immediately obvious. In retrospect, a simple solution often is obvious, but only once you've found it. Until then, it's elusive.
I'd like to share a story in which I arrived at a simple solution after several false starts. I hope it can be an inspiration.
Recently, I had to write some code that takes into account Dutch holidays. (In order to address any confusion that could arise from this: No, I'm not Dutch, I'm Danish, but currently, I'm doing some work on a system targeting a market in the Netherlands.) Specifically, given a date, I had to find the latest possible Dutch bank day on or before that date.
For normal week days (Monday to Friday), it's easy, because such a date is already a bank date. In other words, in that case, you can simply return the input date. Also, in normal weeks, given a Saturday or Sunday, you should return the preceding Friday. The problem is, however, that some Fridays are holidays, and therefore not bank days.
Like many other countries, the Netherlands have complicated rules for determining official holidays. Here are some tricky parts:
Figuring out if a date is a bank day, then, is what you might call an 'interesting' problem. How would you solve it? Before you read on, take a moment to consider how you'd attempt to solve the problem. If you will, you can consider the test cases immediately below to get a better sense of the problem.
Here's a small set of test cases that I wrote in order to describe the problem:
| Test case | Input date | Expected output |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 2017-03-06 | 2017-03-06 |
| Tuesday | 2017-03-07 | 2017-03-07 |
| Wednesday | 2017-03-08 | 2017-03-08 |
| Thursday | 2017-03-09 | 2017-03-09 |
| Friday | 2017-03-10 | 2017-03-10 |
| Saturday | 2017-03-11 | 2017-03-10 |
| Sunday | 2017-03-12 | 2017-03-10 |
| Good Friday | 2017-04-14 | 2017-04-13 |
| Saturday after Good Friday | 2017-04-15 | 2017-04-13 |
| Sunday after Good Friday | 2017-04-16 | 2017-04-13 |
| Easter Monday | 2017-04-17 | 2017-04-13 |
| Ascension Day - Thursday | 2017-05-25 | 2017-05-24 |
| Whit Monday | 2110-05-26 | 2110-05-23 |
| Liberation Day | 9713-05-05 | 9713-05-04 |
How would you solve the problem? The first solution that occurred to me was to use a third-party service. My guess is that most developers would consider this option. After all, it's essentially third-part data. The official holidays are determined by a third party, in this case the Dutch state. Surely, some Dutch official organisation would publish the list of official holidays somewhere. Perhaps, if you're lucky, there's even an on-line service you can query in order to download the list of holidays in some machine-readable format.
There are, however, problems with this alternative: if you query such a service each time you need to find an appropriate bank date, how are you going to handle network errors? What if the third-part service is (temporarily) unavailable?
Since I'm trying to figure out bank dates, you may already have guessed that I'm handling money, so it's not desirable to simple throw an exception and say that a caller would have to try again later. This could lead to loss of revenue.
Querying a third-party service every time you need to figure out a Dutch bank holiday is out of the question for that reason. It's also likely to be inefficient.
Public holidays rarely change, so your next attempt could be a variation of the previous. Use third-party data, but instead of querying a third-party service every time you need the information, cache it.
The problem with caching is that you're not guaranteed that the data you seek is in the cache. At application start, caches are usually empty. You'd have to rely on making one good query to the third-party data source in order to put the data in the cache. Only if that succeeds can you use the cache. This, again, leaves you vulnerable to the normal failure modes of distributed computing. If you can't reach the third-party data source, you have nothing to put in the cache.
This can be a problem at application start, or when the cache data expires.
Using a cache reduces the risk that the data is unavailable, but it doesn't eliminate it. It also adds complexity in the form of a cache that has to be configured and managed. Granted, you can use a reusable cache library or service to minimise that cost, so it may not be a big deal. Still, when making a decision about application architecture, I think it helps to explicitly identify advantages and disadvantages.
Using a cache felt better to me, but I still wasn't happy. Too many things could go wrong.
An incremental improvement on the previous option would be to write the cache data to persistent storage. This takes care of the issue with the cache being empty at application start-up. You can even deal with cache expiry by keep using stale data if you can't reach the 'official' source of the data.
It leaves me a bit concerned, though, because if you allow the system to continue working with stale data, perhaps the application could enter a state where the data never updates. This could happen if the official data source moves, or changes format. In such a case, your application would keep trying to refresh the cache, and it would permanently fail. It would permanently run with stale data. Would you ever discover that problem?
My concern is that the application could silently fail. You could counter that by logging a warning somewhere, but that would introduce a permanent burden on the team responsible for operating the application. This isn't impossible, but it does constitute an extra complexity. This alternative still didn't feel good to me.
Because I wasn't happy with any of the above alternatives, I started looking for different approaches to the problem. For a short while, I considered using a .NET implementation of cron, with a crontab file. As far as I can tell, though there's no easy way to define Easter using cron, so I quickly abandoned that line of inquiry.
I wasn't entirely done with idea of calculating holidays on the fly. While calculating Easter is complicated, it can be done; there is a well-defined algorithm for it. Whenever I run into a general problem like this, I assume that someone has already done the required work, and this is also the case here. I quickly found an open source library called Nager.Date; I'm sure that there are other alternatives, but Nager.Date looks like it's more than good enough.
Such a library would be able to calculate all holidays for a given year, based on the algorithms embedded in it. That looked really promising.
And yet... again, I was concerned. Official holidays are, as we've already established, politically decided. Using an algorithmic approach is fundamentally wrong, because that's not really how the holidays are determined. Holidays are defined by decree; it just so happens that some of the decrees take the form of an algorithm (such as Easter).
What would happen if the Dutch state decides to add a new holiday? Or to take one away? Of when a new monarch is crowned? In order to handle such changes, we'd now have to hope that Nager.Date would be updated. We could try to make that more likely to happen by sending a pull request, but we'd still be vulnerable to a third party. What if the maintainer of Nager.Date is on vacation?
Even if you can get a change into a library like Nager.Date, how is the algorithmic approach going to deal with historic dates? If the monarch changes, you can update the library, but does it correctly handle dates in the past, where the King's Day was different?
Using an algorithm to determine a holiday seemed promising, but ultimately, I decided that I didn't like this option either.
My main concern about using an algorithm is that it'd make it difficult to handle arbitrary changes and exceptional cases. If we'd use a configuration file, on the other hand, we could always edit the configuration file in order to add or remove holidays for a given year.
In essence, I was envisioning a configuration file that simply contained a list of holidays for each year.
That sounds fairly simple and maintainable, but from where should the data come?
You could probably download a list of official holidays for the next few years, like 2017, 2018, 2019, and so on, but the list would be finite, and probably not cover more than a few years into the future.
What if, for example, I'd only be able to find an official list that goes to 2020? What will happen, then, when our application enters 2021? To the rest of the code base, it'd look like there were no holidays in 2021.
At this time we can expect that new official lists have been published, so a programmer could obtain such a list and update the configuration file when it's time. This, unfortunately, is easy to forget. Four years in the future, perhaps none of the original programmers are left. It's more than likely that no one will remember to do this.
The problem that the configuration data could 'run out' can be addressed by initialising the configuration file with data generated algorithmically. You could, for example, ask Nager.Date to generate all the holidays for the next many years. In fact, the year 9999 is the maximum year handled by .NET's System.DateTime
, so you could ask it to generate all the holidays until 9999.
That sounds like a lot, but it's only about half a megabyte of data...
This solves the problem of 'running out' of holiday data, but still enables you to edit the holiday data when it changes in the future. For example, if the King's Day changes in 2031, you can change all the King's Day values from 2031 onward, while retaining the correct values for the previous years.
This seems promising...
I almost decided to use the previous, configuration-based solution, and I was getting ready to invent a configuration file format, and a reader for it, and so on. Then I recalled Mike Hadlow's article about the configuration complexity clock.
I'm fairly certain that the only people who would be editing a hypothetical holiday configuration file would be programmers. In that case, why put the configuration in a proprietary format? Why deal with the hassle of reading and parsing such a file? Why not put the data in code?
That's what I decided to do.
It's not a perfect solution. It's still necessary to go and change that code file when the holiday rules change. For example, when the King's Day changes, you'd have to edit the file.
Still, it's the simplest solution I could come up with. It has no moving parts, and uses a 'best effort' approach in order to guarantee that holidays will always be present. If you can come up with a better alternative, please leave a comment.
Nager.Date seemed useful for generating the initial set of holidays, so I wrote a small F# script that generated the necessary C# code snippets:
#r @"packages/Nager.Date.1.3.0/lib/net45/Nager.Date.dll" open System.IO open Nager.Date let formatHoliday (h : Model.PublicHoliday) = let y, m, d = h.Date.Year, h.Date.Month, h.Date.Day sprintf "new DateTime(%i, %2i, %2i), // %s/%s" y m d h.Name h.LocalName let holidays = [2017..9999] |> Seq.collect (fun y -> DateSystem.GetPublicHoliday (CountryCode.NL, y)) |> Seq.map formatHoliday File.WriteAllLines (__SOURCE_DIRECTORY__ + "/dutch-holidays.txt", holidays)
This script simply asks Nager.Date to calculate all Dutch holidays for the years 2017 to 9999, format them as C# code snippets, and write the lines to a text file. The size of that file is 4 MB, because the auto-generated code comments also take up some space.
The next thing I did was to copy the text from dutch-holidays.txt
to a C# code file, which I had already prepared with a class and a few methods that would query my generated data. The result looked like this:
public static class DateTimeExtensions { public static DateTimeOffset AdjustToLatestPrecedingDutchBankDay( this DateTimeOffset value) { var candidate = value; while (!(IsDutchBankDay(candidate.DateTime))) candidate = candidate.AddDays(-1); return candidate; } private static bool IsDutchBankDay(DateTime date) { if (date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday) return false; if (date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday) return false; if (dutchHolidays.Contains(date.Date)) return false; return true; } #region Dutch holidays private static DateTime[] dutchHolidays = { new DateTime(2017, 1, 1), // New Year's Day/Nieuwjaarsdag new DateTime(2017, 4, 14), // Good Friday/Goede Vrijdag new DateTime(2017, 4, 17), // Easter Monday/ Pasen new DateTime(2017, 4, 27), // King's Day/Koningsdag new DateTime(2017, 5, 5), // Liberation Day/Bevrijdingsdag new DateTime(2017, 5, 25), // Ascension Day/Hemelvaartsdag new DateTime(2017, 6, 5), // Whit Monday/Pinksteren new DateTime(2017, 12, 25), // Christmas Day/Eerste kerstdag new DateTime(2017, 12, 26), // St. Stephen's Day/Tweede kerstdag new DateTime(2018, 1, 1), // New Year's Day/Nieuwjaarsdag new DateTime(2018, 3, 30), // Good Friday/Goede Vrijdag // Lots and lots of dates... new DateTime(9999, 5, 6), // Ascension Day/Hemelvaartsdag new DateTime(9999, 5, 17), // Whit Monday/Pinksteren new DateTime(9999, 12, 25), // Christmas Day/Eerste kerstdag new DateTime(9999, 12, 26), // St. Stephen's Day/Tweede kerstdag }; #endregion }
My old computer isn't happy about having to compile 71,918 lines of C# in a single file, but it's doable, and as far as I can tell, Visual Studio caches the result of compilation, so as long as I don't change the file, there's little adverse effect.
In order to verify that the implementation works, I wrote this parametrised test:
public class DateTimeExtensionsTests { [Theory] [InlineData("2017-03-06", "2017-03-06")] // Monday [InlineData("2017-03-07", "2017-03-07")] // Tuesday [InlineData("2017-03-08", "2017-03-08")] // Wednesday [InlineData("2017-03-09", "2017-03-09")] // Thursday [InlineData("2017-03-10", "2017-03-10")] // Friday [InlineData("2017-03-11", "2017-03-10")] // Saturday [InlineData("2017-03-12", "2017-03-10")] // Sunday [InlineData("2017-04-14", "2017-04-13")] // Good Friday [InlineData("2017-04-15", "2017-04-13")] // Saturday after Good Friday [InlineData("2017-04-16", "2017-04-13")] // Sunday after Good Friday [InlineData("2017-04-17", "2017-04-13")] // Easter Monday [InlineData("2017-05-25", "2017-05-24")] // Ascension Day - Thursday [InlineData("2110-05-26", "2110-05-23")] // Whit Monday [InlineData("9713-05-05", "9713-05-04")] // Liberation Day public void AdjustToLatestPrecedingDutchBankDayReturnsCorrectResult( string sutS, string expectedS) { var sut = DateTimeOffset.Parse(sutS); var actual = sut.AdjustToLatestPrecedingDutchBankDay(); Assert.Equal(DateTimeOffset.Parse(expectedS), actual); } }
All test cases pass. This works in [Theory]
, but unfortunately, it turns out, it doesn't work in practice.
When used in an ASP.NET Web API application, AdjustToLatestPrecedingDutchBankDay
throws a StackOverflowException
. It took me a while to figure out why, but it turns out that the stack size is smaller in IIS than when you run a 'normal' .NET process, such as an automated test.
System.DateTime
is a value type, and as far as I can tell, it uses some stack space during initialisation. When the DateTimeExtensions
class is first used, the static dutchHolidays
array is initialised, and that uses enough stack space to exhaust the stack when running in IIS.
The stack space problem seems to be related to DateTime
initialisation. If I store a similar number of 64-bit integers in an array, it seems that there's no problem.
First, I had to modify the formatHoliday
function:
let formatHoliday (h : Model.PublicHoliday) = let t, y, m, d = h.Date.Ticks, h.Date.Year, h.Date.Month, h.Date.Day sprintf "%19iL, // %i-%02i-%02i, %s/%s" t y m d h.Name h.LocalName
This enabled me to generate a new file with C# code fragments, but now containing ticks instead of DateTime
values. Copying those C# fragments into my file gave me this:
public static class DateTimeExtensions { public static DateTimeOffset AdjustToLatestPrecedingDutchBankDay( this DateTimeOffset value) { var candidate = value; while (!(IsDutchBankDay(candidate.DateTime))) candidate = candidate.AddDays(-1); return candidate; } private static bool IsDutchBankDay(DateTime date) { if (date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday) return false; if (date.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Sunday) return false; if (dutchHolidays.Contains(date.Date.Ticks)) return false; return true; } #region Dutch holidays private static long[] dutchHolidays = {<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000L, // 2017-01-01, New Year's Day/Nieuwjaarsdag<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000L, // 2017-04-14, Good Friday/Goede Vrijdag<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000L, // 2017-04-17, Easter Monday/ Pasen<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000L, // 2017-04-27, King's Day/Koningsdag<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000L, // 2017-05-05, Liberation Day/Bevrijdingsdag<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000L, // 2017-05-25, Ascension Day/Hemelvaartsdag<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000L, // 2017-06-05, Whit Monday/Pinksteren<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000L, // 2017-12-25, Christmas Day/Eerste kerstdag<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000L, // 2017-12-26, St. Stephen's Day/Tweede kerstdag<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000L, // 2018-01-01, New Year's Day/Nieuwjaarsdag<PHONE_NUMBER>00000000L, // 2018-03-30, Good Friday/Goede Vrijdag // Lots and lots of dates...<PHONE_NUMBER>000000000L, // 9999-05-06, Ascension Day/Hemelvaartsdag<PHONE_NUMBER>000000000L, // 9999-05-17, Whit Monday/Pinksteren<PHONE_NUMBER>000000000L, // 9999-12-25, Christmas Day/Eerste kerstdag<PHONE_NUMBER>000000000L, // 9999-12-26, St. Stephen's Day/Tweede kerstdag }; #endregion }
That implementation still passes all tests, and works at in practice as well.
It took me some time to find a satisfactory solution. I had more than once false start, until I ultimately arrived at the solution I've described here. I consider it simple because it's self-contained, deterministic, easy to understand, and fairly easy to maintain. I even left a comment in the code (not shown here) that described how to recreate the configuration data using the F# script shown here.
The first solution that comes into your mind may not be the simplest solution, but if you take some time to consider alternatives, you may save yourself and your colleagues some future grief.
Comments
What do you think about creating an "admin page" that would allow users to configure the bank holidays themselves (which would then be persisted in the application database)? This moves the burden of correctness to the administrators of the application, who I'm sure are highly motivated to get this right - as well as maintain it. It also removes the need for a deployment in the face of changing holidays.
For the sake of convenience, you could still "seed" the database with the values generated by your F# script
jadarnel27, thank you for writing. Your suggestion could be an option as well, but is hardly the simplest solution. In order to implement that, I'd need to add an administration web site for my application, program the user interface, connect the administration site and my original application (a REST API) to a persistent data source, write code for input validation, etcetera.
Apart from all that work, the bank holidays would have to be stored in an out-of-process data store, such as a database or NoSQL data store, because the REST API that needs this feature is running in a server farm. This adds latency to each lookup, as well as a potential error source. What should happen if the connection to the data store is broken? Additionally, such a data store should be backed up, so we'd also need to establish an operational procedure to ensure that that happens.
It was never a requirement that the owners of the application should be able to administer this themselves. It's certainly an option, but it's so much more complex than the solution outlined above that I think one should start by making a return-on-investment analysis.
Another option: Calculate the holidays! I think you might find som useful code in my HolidaysAPI. It is even in F#, and the Web project is based upon a course or blog post by you.
Alf, thank you for writing. Apart from the alternative library, how is that different from the option I covered under the heading Option: Nager.Date?
Great post, thanks. The minor point here is that it is probably not so effective to do Contains over long[]. I'd consider using something that can check the value existance faster.
EQR, thank you for writing. The performance profile of the implementation wasn't my main concern with this article, so it's likely that it can be improved.
I did do some lackadaisical performance testing, but didn't detect any measurable difference between the implementation shown here, and one using a HashSet. On the other hand, there are other options I didn't try at all. One of these could be to perform a binary search, since the array is already ordered.
Hi Mark, thanks for this post. One small note on your selection of bank holidays. Liberation day is an official bank holiday, but only for civil servants, for us 'normal' people this only happens every 5 years. This is reflected in Nager.Date wrong here
Thomas, thank you for writing. That just goes to show, I think, that holiday calculation is as complicated as any other 'business logic'. It should be treated as such, and not as an algorithmic calculation.

Press release
Schools Minister David Laws announces key stage 2 qualifiers alongside infant and key stage 3 finalists in the 2015 Pupil Premium Awards.
David Laws today (18 December 2014) congratulated 430 schools which have qualified for the 2015 Pupil Premium Awards following key stage 2 results published last week. Their results showed that they have made or continue to make impressive improvements in the attainment of their disadvantaged pupils. Every school has won £1,000 and eligible schools will now be invited to apply for the prizes worth up to £100,000. Final prizes will be awarded at a ceremony hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg in March next year.
Four schools have also been named as national finalists in the infant and key stage 3 school category for next year’s Pupil Premium Awards, in recognition of their effective use of the pupil premium in raising the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and improving their outcomes. All finalists in the infant and key stage 3 school category will win at least £2,000, with the winning school to be awarded a total prize of £10,000.
The Pupil Premium Awards reward schools which are able to provide evidence of effective strategies to improve the achievement of disadvantaged pupils and show sustained improvement in raising their attainment. The pupil premium is extra funding schools receive for every disadvantaged pupil they teach and is worth £2.5 billion this year alone.
Schools Minister David Laws said:
The pupil premium is building a fairer society with opportunity for everyone.
I would encourage all of the primary schools who have received a £1,000 prize to share their achievements with other schools so they can learn from their strengths and experience.
I hope all schools will continue to learn from this excellent practice and ensure they are using their pupil premium effectively, so that they too may be in the running for a prize in 2016.
Dr Kevan Collins, Chief Executive, Education Endowment Foundation, said:
The infant school and key stage 3 school finalists include examples of brilliant practice. We know that the first stages of learning in each phase of education are essential and particularly important for children from disadvantaged communities. The finalists in this category are using the evidence of what works and the pupil premium to give their pupils the very best chance of success, and are rightly recognised as leaders and hubs of excellence and innovation.
Professor Becky Francis, Professor of Education and Social Justice, Department of Education and Professional Studies, King’s College London, said:
The commitment and dedication to ensuring all children succeed exhibited by these schools is really inspirational. It has been especially encouraging to see the way that research evidence is informing strategies adopted by the contestant schools in ensuring the good progress of their pupil premium children. Schools are actively engaging with research and evaluating impact in order to ensure that approaches are right for their context.
Schools across England that are doing the most to help disadvantaged pupils improve their achievements in school may be eligible to win a share of £4 million as part of the 2015 and 2016 Pupil Premium Awards. Thousands of pupils in more than 500 schools could benefit from the awards, which recognise schools which are using their pupil premium in innovative and effective ways.
A further £4 million prize money will also be awarded in the 2016 awards, and schools are being encouraged to act now to review what they are doing in their school and ensure they are using the pupil premium effectively - using tools such as the evidence-based Education Endowment Foundation toolkit or by undertaking a pupil premium review .

This example shows one way to add a user interface on top of a Chiasm application (using AngularJS and Angular Material). Every time an interaction is performed with the widgets on the left, a new Chiasm configuration is generated and passed into the Chaism runtime environment. The runtime environment then computes the difference between the previous configuration and the new configuration, then executes actions corresponding to the changes to the appropriate component instances.
Features of this example include:
- Selection from three preselected data sets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository
- Selection of a single column from the selected data set to visualize in the bar chart.
- Numeric columns will be aggregated into bins and presented as a histogram.
- Categorical columns will be aggregated and presented as a bar chart, where each bar corresponds to a unique value.
- Selection of bar chart orientation between horizontal and vertical.
- Selection of bar fill color.
Known Issues (e.g. with the "adult" data set):
- The original "adult" data set has no column headline. The data set used has only 500 of 30,000 lines of data. When using the original data set add the first line of the adult.csv data set.
- The tick labels overlap each other on the X axis in many cases
- The tick labels overlap with the axis label on the Y axis

Text description provided by the architects. The revitalization and expansion project of the Headquarters of Goiás City Hall, sited in the historic center of the city, World Heritage, had as objectives: revitalize the existing buildings and consider the construction of a new annex to expand the built area, needed to shelter, in an optimized way, the administrative functions of the city incorporating some of its secretariats in the set of the two existing houses (the current one and the neighboring one).
The object is sited in a transition urban area between the densification of downtown, denser and more compact, with the rural area. Consistent with this condition of a more rarefied densification, the lots are bigger and with a shape unlikely the traditional one, with large frontages and a proportional depth. The Neoclassical two-story house stands out from the other buildings. The neighboring house is a building from the middle of the 20th century, without architectural value, but that is in the context because of its construction scale. On the rear and on the right side of the Neoclassical building, there were constructed, recently, two annexes that are not in the context, conflicting with and impoverishing the set.
Understanding the new demand, the project defined and discussed the rooms and sectors organization according to the needs of the city hall. That way, it was possible to decide how the functions would be organized and the area amount that each one would require. Stem from these numbers and the architectural comprehension of the existing set, it was chosen to:
1. Restore the main house. The project defined the uses organization according to the limitations and spatial possibilities from the existing rooms and spaces. The insertion of new elements is highlighted, making the difference between the new and the existing very clear. In the same way, the existing building was only modified in spaces where the original setting had already been changed by interventions over time. On the other hand, the project sought to rescue, when possible, some original characteristics that were lost in the current configuration.
2. Execute a partial intervention in the annex house, adapting it to the new functions. For this purpose, the project adopted the following positions: attempt to keep original and structural elements, as long as it would allow the conciliation between the preexistence and the utilization of the existing spaces; elimination of architectural elements built over time that, clearly, modified the examination of the original building; insertion of new elements by functional issues, with a contemporaneous look, but aiming the contextualization with the preexistence.
3. Execute the demolition of the recent annexes from both the main house and the neighboring house, in order to site a single building in the rear of the lot in a way that it would be possible to sew and integrate the buildings of the set. This new annex, named as “Annex Building”, was sited transversely, joining both lots and serving as a connection of the internal flows among the sectors. In this building, it was placed the most part of the administrative functions of the city hall, as well as the architecture and engineering sector.
With the general definition of the parti, regarding the buildings site and general distribution of functions among them, it was defined the release of the existing areas of setbacks among the volums. On the side setbacks of the set, it was placed the parking lot for vehicles surrounded by gardens. In turn, the open space between the two existing buildings would be occupied by a marquee, which would connect the annex building and the house, also surrounded by gardens.
