Today, in 1954, the first FORTRAN program ran. They don't say how long it took to write/debug it, maybe started in 1953? I can remember clients who insisted in doing accounting using it. After multiply/divide operations (2*$3.50=$6.999999999999), they added .00001. The good old days of punch cards. Still have a few around here, along with a vacuum tube (valve for those of you on the other side of the pond).
Cheers.

What is old is new again. Got JQuery-Ui drop even to fire yesterday. Momentus occasion here as I have been fighting it off and on for a few days.

It was about today, in 1969, when I wrote and ran my first Fortran program. It compiled without errors and ran correctly the first time. It has become my canonical "Hello World" program for every new language I encounter. I now know somewhere around 100 programming languages. I've gotten almost all of them to do the right thing on the first whack, but yes there are a few that didn't. APL was one of the embarrassingly frustrating ones, where the complete program consists of 4 characters (plus carriage return), and I got it wrong on that one.
... so why didn't I just write a 'real' "Hello World" program? Because that is something that started with the "C" language, which hadn't been invented yet. At least, in the universe that I lived in.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Remember APL as well. Did some simulation with it. The old saying still rings true: You can always tell and APL programmer. But not much.

I would retire but I never got around to commenting my code.

So you have a great potential for being Neutral.
(European power supply is strange: If you are Neutral, you have all the Live potential to the one side, not distributed to both sides. I live in an area where, if I have both feet on Ground, the potential goes to both sides, and neither can claim to be Neutral. This is considered old-style - the modern style is the one extreme being Neutral. I guess that in some areas that goes for more than electricity.)

Earlier in the week I posted a request for DB software for cataloging a largish classical CD collection, and received several useful replies. In the end I decided to roll my own in Access, and built the structure and relationships, and even got as far as loading 40 principal instruments, 100 genres and 900 composers. The base item of the DB was the 'work', a CD comprising of one or more works, and some works appearing on more than one CD. Great stuff - I was pleased with the flexibility of the design for what I wanted.
Then I stopped to think. I estimated about 10,000 separate works in the collection. Even with everything for the 'work' being in drop-downs, just typing in the work title was going to be a very long pain in the asterisk, even before entering all the CD titles.
Time for a rethink, and copious hot caffeinated liquids!
I am an enthusiastic amateur photographer, with a good and fast Epson scanner, and Adobe Lightroom.
Solution - scan the front and back of all the CD 'jewel boxes' - my scanning software lets me join two JPEGS - and keyword the hell out of them. I can then browse through the covers and works by using simple keywording for composer, genre, sub-genre, key instrument und so weiter. By having the scan of the CD cover I will be able to recognize the album straight away. The filename will be the location of the CD - drawer number, rank, and position in rank. My plan for using Lightroom fell apart as I have only a single licence, and the hi-fi laptop is not my main machine. A quick web search located an open-source project, 'digiKam', which is perfect because it supports hierarchical keywording.
Yesterday I went out and bought a cheapo knock-up desk (or 'study table', as it grandly calls itself) and am about to put the thing together in the drawing room, and then stick the hi-fi laptop and scanner on it. In a trial run on my rather cluttered upstairs desk it took less than 15 seconds each to scan a batch of CDs front and back. Then it is just half a dozen clicks to register the keywords.
The beauty of this system is that I can pretend to be doing useful work while actually sitting down and listening to my favourite music!

I have an object array like below
[{id:101, StartTime: "2020-08-26T09:00:00", EndTime: "2020-08-26T18:00:00", Effort: "09:00:00"},
{id:102, StartTime: "2020-08-26T08:30:00", EndTime: "2020-07-02T19:25:00", Effort: "10:55:00"},
{id:103, StartTime: "2020-07-02T00:00:00", EndTime: "2020-07-02T00:00:00", Effort: "00:00:00"},
{id:104, StartTime: "2020-08-26T09:00:00", EndTime: "2020-08-26T18:00:00", Effort: "09:00:00"},
{id:105, StartTime: "2020-09-18T10:00:00", EndTime: "2020-09-18T21:00:00", Effort: "11:00:00"},
{id:106, StartTime: "2020-07-02T00:00:00", EndTime: "2020-07-02T00:00:00", Effort: "00:00:00"},
{id:107, StartTime: "2020-07-02T00:00:00", EndTime: "2020-07-02T00:00:00", Effort: "00:00:00"}]
I need to get the object where the Effort column should be greater than zero minutes
i need result like below
[{id:101, StartTime: "2020-08-26T09:00:00", EndTime: "2020-08-26T18:00:00", Effort: "09:00:00"},
{id:102, StartTime: "2020-08-26T08:30:00", EndTime: "2020-07-02T19:25:00", Effort: "10:55:00"},
{id:104, StartTime: "2020-08-26T09:00:00", EndTime: "2020-08-26T18:00:00", Effort: "09:00:00"},
{id:105, StartTime: "2020-09-18T10:00:00", EndTime: "2020-09-18T21:00:00", Effort: "11:00:00"}]

Sorry, it's a Sunday, so we're all in church right now. However, while you are waiting for us to come out of church, you might like to read the paragraph at the top of this page, in particular the bit in RED.

THis is the wrong place to post this, as it says at teh top of the page.
Try here: https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^]
But ... While we are more than willing to help those that are stuck that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.
So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.

I like to think that giving the answer in these sorts of cases is something of a curse, as unless you take the effort to understand the answer, you end up with no new knowledge.
const haveExpendedEffort = whateverYourArrayIsCalled.filter((x: any) => {return x.Effort !== '00:00:00';});I think that there is a certain irony in this solution.

If you take a minute to think about this, you should realise that you are just wanting to look for records where the effort isn't 00:00:00. Try it out and what you can come up with.

That's what I thought too when I posted my solution which could be wrong.
The thing is he states "greater than zero minutes", there is the possibility based on that statement that records could contain negative minutes.
But wait for it, it goes even deeper than that as he specifies "zero minutes" which means that "00:00:59" would not meet that criteria if the "59" represented seconds as 59 seconds could be interpreted as zero minutes.
To be completely pedantic, would "24:00:59" meet that criteria as it has zero minutes?
This is why I am not keen on the ambiguity of modern day non-technical specifications also known as user stories.

On a golf tour in Ireland, Tiger Woods drives his BMW into a petrol station in a remote part of the Irish countryside.
The pump attendant obviously knows nothing about golf, greets him in a typical Irish manner completely unaware of who the golfing pro is.
Top of the mornin’ to yer, sir” says the attendant.
Tiger nods a quick “hello” and bends forward to pick up the nozzle.
As he does so, two tees fall out of his shirt pocket onto the ground.
“What are dose? asks the attendant.
“They’re called tees” replies Tiger.
“Well, what on the god’s earth are dey for?” inquires the Irishman.
“They’re for resting my balls on when I’m driving”, says Tiger.

“Fookin Jaysus”, says the Irishman, “BMW thinks of everything!"

Maybe a 350LC would tempt, but that was 1980 - and nearly all of 'em have been stolen at least once by now.
But a Come'N'Go? Those were good fun. My first one handled better with a flat rear tyre than the Honda it replaced did with properly inflated Pirelli Phantoms...
