I'm pulling data from a feed that I have no control over and I need to verify if a string I'm given is a valid time. Most of the time I'm correctly sent something like "2:35" or "15:41" but other times it's things like "AM" or "PM" (and no numbers)...so I ultimately just need to ignore those. So, how can I verify if the data is a valid...
Guys, I''m looking to get this correct and i'm getting a bit fustrated with this. What I want to do is get hours and days and weeks correct. Example: if this post is < 60min old then have it read: Posted Less then 1 minute ago if this post is < 120min old then have it read: Posted 1 hour ago if this post is > 120min old then have it...
I have two javascript vars (they're coming from text boxes, so they're probably being evaluated as strings) in this format: 02:30 and 4:45 they represent hours and minutes. I want to add them together to get 07:15 but I can't figure it out. ...
I vaguely remember reading a blog entry (written by a well-known blogger I think) about how to model price changes over time, and that you could model most changes by saving two dates only (two columns in a db). The blog talked about prices on a website changing over time and how you could figure out the right price to charge knowing onl...

EDIT: I just found my problem after writing this long post explaining every little detail... If someone can give me a good answer on what I'm doing wrong and how can I get the execution time in seconds (using a float with 5 decimal places or so), I'll mark that as accepted. Hint: The problem was on how I interpreted the clock_getttime() ...

Hi, I want to be able to store the current time in milliseconds in an Oracle number field. How do I do this via a query? select systimestamp from dual; returns the actual timestamp. Is there anyway that I can convert this into milliseconds the same way Java's System.currentTimeMillis() does? ...
timeGetTime seems to be quite good to query for system time. However, its return value is 32-bit only, so it wraps around every 49 days approx. It's not too hard to detect the rollover in calling code, but it adds some complexity, and (worse) requires keeping a state. Is there some replacement for timeGetTime that would not have this w...
I have a property field in a class that is of type javax.xml.datatype.Duration. It basically represents a time span (e.g. 4 hours and 34 minutes). JPA is telling me it is an invalid type, which doesn't shock me. Whats a good solution this? I could implement my own Duration class, but I don't know how to get JPA to "accept" it as a ...
In Java you can do this: long now = (new Date()).getTime(); How can I do the same but in c++ ? ...
Hi Folks, Instead of asking a client timezone in registration form (to correctly format datetime, all server dates in UTC) I thought about fetching a time from client computer and calculating time offset between client and server. Anyone tried this? How often clients have something insane on their system clocks? Cheers! ...
I am a beginning C programmer (though not a beginning programmer) looking to dive into a project to teach myself C. My project is music-based, and because of this I am curious whether there are any 'best practices' per-se, when it comes to timing functions. Just to clarify, my project is pretty much an attempt to build some barebones m...
Hi, I wonder if, when you call something like that time(); it returns the timestamp relatively to your time zone setting or to UTC ? For example, when syncing two agents, that must be important to take care of it, doesn't it ? ...

What's the broad math idea behind the calendar if you need to build one from scratch without depending on OS or other libraries ? ...
Can anyone tell me why the timestamp generated by the php time() function is so different from SQL datetime? If i do a date('Y-m-d', time()); in php, it gives me the time now, as it should. If I just take the time() portion and do: $now = time(); //then execute this statement 'SELECT * FROM `reservation` WHERE created_at < $now' I ge...
I am writing a program that will need to measure time in minutes. To be exact, it will wait 10 minutes, execute some code, wait 2 minutes, execute more code and repeat this 5 times (anyone guess what I'm trying to do?) and I am wondering how to do the breaks. Thanks in advance! Oh, and by the way, I'm on Mac. ...
