Why a GET and cancel after headers instead of a HEAD?

I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion. This could just be the one that was caught.

It sounds like they were scammed, and I feel bad for them. But they probably don’t realize how funny this comment is.

> I supported Polymarket for years because I believed they represented crypto values.

> In the case of Maduro, the operation cost around $300 million so a $400,000 payout isn’t providing a financial incentive.

It is if you are spending someone else’s $300 million, and getting the $400,000 yourself.

Does anyone maintain a programmatically accessible list of holidays for their company? Similar to the HOLIDAYS.txt in the article, but it would allow for things like “don’t run this the day before or during a company holiday.”

I work at a company with different holidays in certain countries, which would complicate things, and require something more structured than a list of dates. But having that accessible could be useful.

Has anyone tackled that, or come across a solution?

I can’t recall ever seeing the contraction “who’re” before. For obvious reasons I suppose.

I might be missing it, but I don’t see a link to that info from Apple in the article.

But I did just find this, which confirms what you’re saying. https://www.apple.com/apple-intelligence/
