I've implemented a stopwatch that works fine without considering that bank holidays and weekends shouldn't be counted in the total duration. I was looking for some open-source library where I could get the elapsed time, passing a start instant, end instant and a set of bank holidays (weekends aren't counted in). The only library that mak...

Given a date/time as an array of (year, month, day, hour, minute, second), how would you convert it to epoch time, i.e., the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 GMT? Bonus question: If given the date/time as a string, how would you first parse it into the (y,m,d,h,m,s) array? ...
If I've got a time_t value from gettimeofday() or compatible in a Unix environment (e.g., Linux, BSD), is there a compact algorithm available that would be able to tell me the corresponding week number within the month? Ideally the return value would work in similar to the way %W behaves in strftime() , except giving the week within the...
Given a datetime.time value in Python, is there a standard way to add an integer number of seconds to it, so that 11:34:59 + 3 = 11:35:02, for example? These obvious ideas don't work: >>> datetime.time(11, 34, 59) + 3 TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'datetime.time' and 'int' >>> datetime.time(11, 34, 59) + datetime.timede...
I'm trying to decide on the best way to store event times in a MySQL database. These should be as flexible as possible and be able to represent "single events" (starts at a certain time, does not necessarily need an end time), "all day" and "multi day" events, repeating events, repeating all day events, possibly "3rd Saturday of the mont...
I have created a C# class file by using a XSD-file as an input. One of my properties look like this: private System.DateTime timeField; [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(DataType="time")] public System.DateTime Time { get { return this.timeField; } set { this.timeField = value; } } ...
I have an application where an user has to remember and insert an unix timestamp like 1221931027. In order to make it easier to remember the key I like to reduce the number of characters to insert through allowing the caracters [a-z]. So I'm searching for an algorithm to convert the timstamp to a shorter alphanum version and do the same ...

I need to store items with a calendar date (just the day, no time) in a sqlite database. What's the best way to represent the date in the column? Julian days and unix seconds come to mind as reasonable alternatives. If I go with a unit other than days at what clock time should it be? Update: I am aware of ISO8601 and actually used it...
Problem. I need a way to find Starteam server time through Starteam Java SDK 8.0. Version of server is 8.0.172 so method Server.getCurrentTime() is not available since it was added only in server version 9.0. Motivation. My application needs to use views at specific dates. So if there's some difference in system time between client (whe...
I have an application that depends on gpsd and ntpd to accurately set the system time on a linux machine. gpsd is fed NMEA + PPS The application is punping ~25MB per second over the network and I think the loading on the system is causing jitter in the time somehow. (loaded PCI express bus causing irregular interrupt latency) I have a...
I want to calculate the time span between 2 times which I saved in a database. So literally I want to know the length of time between the 2 values. 14:10:20 - 10:05:15 = 02:05:05 So the result would be 02:05:05. How would I be able to achieve this using C#? 14:10:20 is the format I saved it in in my database. ...

Is there a way to check to see if a date/time is valid you would think these would be easy to check: $date = '0000-00-00'; $time = '00:00:00'; $dateTime = $date . ' ' . $time; if(strtotime($dateTime)) { // why is this valid? } what really gets me is this: echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date)); results in: "1999-11-30", huh? i ...
I am working on a form widget for users to enter a time of day into a text input (for a calendar application). Using JavaScript (we are using jQuery FWIW), I want to find the best way to parse the text that the user enters into a JavaScript Date() object so I can easily perform comparisons and other things on it. I tried the parse() met...
