I do like Beethoven (mostly) and not a great fun of 'Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Rap, Hip-Hop, Techno'... However I would not define different as worst...
It is only different...
The really sad thing about that article, that those tried to refuse the music status were motivated by money...

I agree with you but I'm not afraid to call it worse.
Well, some prog metal is tolerable...

It's fine, as long as you understand that it is worse for you, but has its place for others...

Techno may be music in the legal sense. It may also be music in the technical sense. However, I would not under any circumstances destroy what is left of my hearing by listening to it.
Classical music, or songs performed by good vocalists (i.e. those who can carry a tune) are my idea of good music.

Armistice Day, as 11 November became known, officially became a holiday in the United States in 1926, and a national holiday 12 years later. In many countries, it is known as Remembrance Day. On 1 June 1954, the name was changed to Veterans Day to honour all U.S. veterans.
Armistice Day is still commemorated throughout the world, marking the day that terrible War ended. Or, at least was suspended, as most historians now conclude that the Second World War was just the follow-on to the First.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Let's hope we won't get a third.
That would be the best way to honor the fallen.
Unfortunately, there's too much hate to completely rule out the possibility.
"World leaders" take a break from wars to remember those that have fallen in horrible wars that we should never repeat, only to go back to war a day later.

It's counter-evolutionary: killing indiscriminately (randomly) is a 'culling process' - it is a waste. How much potential has been lost and will be lost because the bodies that house those minds are destroyed?

Today, here in Belgium it is an official holiday but man it is not a festive one. Here we see the untold thousands of graves of soldiers who fell in WW I, never mind the 55000 or so who went missing carved into the Menen gate in Ypres and so many others at different locations.
Don't let it happen again, the price is far too high.

So I have this super simple use case.
I have a starting time and an ending time and I want to calculate the total time between them (just hours and minutes).
I use three time inputs in HTML and set up an event handler on the change event of the start en end times.
My initial thought was something like total = end.value - start.value, but unfortunately, the value is a string.
Search around and I can do Date.parse(start.value) to get an actual Date object... But wait, no, it returns an integer representing the milliseconds since 1970...
Now, new Date(Date.parse(start.value)) gives me a proper Date object.
But, the control gives me the date of 1970 since the date doesn't matter because it's a time only input.
However, the other control probably still has the date set from the (C#) back-end.
So, get Date.now, which also returns milliseconds, so new Date(Date.now), and set both dates to today so I can calculate the difference.
And now it all goes to hell.
The input assumed UTC, I think, while the Date object somehow corrects for my time zone (UTC + 1).
Or maybe the Date is neutral, but the eventual toISOString isn't (same result with toString though).
Whatever it is, it only does this for the value I just edited, so my result is off by an hour.
Tried all kinds of stuff, always off by an hour.
Even when I manually correct for the difference, there's ultimately a difference.
Ended up reading the string from the input, manually substringing the hours and minutes, build two new dates using nothing but setUTC methods and then subtracting those.
That works and I can easily correct for times like 23:00 (start) and 01:00 (end) by adding a day to end when end > start (the difference well never be larger than a couple of hours, certainly not 24 hours).

Should be fairly simple with a small library:
Day.js[^]
Luxon[^]
You could also use Moment.js[^], but it's no longer recommended[^].

Yeah, I was thinking about Moment.js, but I know it's no longer supported.
Too bad too, I really needed that Klingon format
I didn't know Day.js and Luxon, but they look promising.
I didn't want to use a library for something this simple.
I dislike using libraries for a single line in my entire application (unless it's really something complex).
Then when I found out it wasn't that simple it got personal and I wanted to fix it myself.
At least it works now and I'm the wiser for it

Not that I can explain it for your case, but it seems the two dates (times) are in different timezone...
I work a lot with dates and times in JS and functions that handle dates and times are part of my base library...
What I've seen is that JS will try to be super smart and change the timezone according to your date, even it is totally BS...
For instance, working with local - Israeli - time - times with 01/01/1970 as date part will add 2:30, while times with today as date part will add 3 hours... Totally nuts!

That's probably the problem I had as well!
The date I just edited was always in 1970 (and had the off hour) while the other date was always today (or tomorrow).
Maybe time zones switched somewhere between the 70's and now?

There were (and are) changes... And not all countries have nice 1 hour jumps, it can be half or even a quarter hour...
It seems that JS try to follow the course of history but gets lost...
