I want to know if there is a name for a function/method/library that converts a given date object with time information into something like:
a few seconds ago
2 minutes ago
about an hour ago
10 hours ago
yesterday
on 12-May-2010
and so on. I don't know what to google for, but I'm guessing that someone must have done this before. I'm specifically looking for an implementation in python (preferably a Django filter) that works on a datetime, but any open source implementation in any language will do really, for inspiration.
Google for "Fuzzy Date Time"
I believe it is called "fuzzy timestamp" (also "timedelta")
ruby and python examples are available in this SO question
git has its own date.c utility source for this kind of refspec date specification.
A ref followed by the suffix # with a date specification enclosed in a brace pair (e.g. {yesterday}, {1 month 2 weeks 3 days 1 hour 1 second ago} or {1979-02-26 18:30:00}) to specify the value of the ref at a prior point in time.
I don't really know the name of the method used, but you can find a Javascript implementation of what you're describing at DateJS.

I'm trying to get the current time in UTC in a UWP application. This should be a simple matter of constructing a DateTime object
DateTime const now{ clock::now() };
and accessing its UniversalTime field. However, that field does not appear to have been projected into C++/WinRT.
How do I get the current time in UTC using C++/WinRT?
Looks like a documentation bug. That field doesn't exist in C++/WinRT. Instead, DateTime is projected as a std::chrono::time_point. But similar to C++/CX, the documentation for the struct (not the field) is still somewhat accurat - it has the same granularity as FILETIME. But even easier than extracting the value youself, winrt::clock provides static methods to_file_time and to_time_t that convert DateTime to
FILETIME or time_t, respectively.
I'll get the documentation fixed up, and I've been meaning to write a blog post about how C++/WinRT seamlessly interops with std::chrono for timekeeping. I'm a a fan of std::chrono, and incorporating it into C++/WinRT was my idea, so the haters know who to blame. :)
How do I convert seconds to HH.MM:SS via MediaWiki (plus Semantic Media Wiki)?
I tried and tried and just can't find a way.
The duration in seconds comes via filling out a template.
As I can't install more extensions to the Wiki the only ways are via SMW and parser functions.
Thank you very much in advance!
You should be able to do this with the time parser function:
{{#time: H.i.s | #123 }}
It't not strickly treating it as a time duration, but rather a time from the unix epoch, but if you don't go over 24 hours it doesn't really matter.
If you need to go higher, then you can build up a custom expression using the trunc operator, for example to get the number of hours:
{{#expr: trunc (123/60/60) }}
I'm trying to get my Jira data via JSON REST API into Excel, i.e. using VBA, and I'm parsing JSON output using RegEx. There are plenty of useful tutorials on the web, and after a couple of days I do have more or less working solution I'm happy with, except one minor obstacle. Long story short:
Among many issue fields I need friendly Assignee name, but some issues in my projects may be Unassigned, that obviously results in TWO VERY different kinds of JSON output:
Unassigned issue:
..."assignee":null,"updated"...
Assigned issue:
"assignee":{
"self":...
<Lots of NOT needed fields here>
...
},
"displayName":"Doe, John", <-- That's what I need, name only part
"active":...
<Lots of NOT needed fields here>
...
},
"updated"...
Well, I suppose that something like:
"assignee".*?"displayName":"(.*?)"|"assignee":(.*?),"updated"
will handle the job by producing TWO possible Matches, but... Is there a way to create RegEx where ANY of output options will result in SubMatches of ONE Match?
I'm a total newbie to RegEx, so sorry if the wording of my question is silly due to incorrectly used terms. Anyway, I hope the sample part is more or less clear, and I'll be extremely grateful for useful suggestions.
After an hour of tryouts on regex101 I ended up with the following RegEx:
"assignee":(null|.*?"displayName":"(.*?)","active")
Probably it's ugly and may be improved - but it DOES the job, and does NOT ruin in the process the indexes of subsequent Matches in collection, therefore keeping the rest of code working as it is now.
In our hyperion application, we have a explore button.
Here is its post:
web_submit_data("explorer", //FIXME: id vlaue parameter
"Action=https://{host_url}/raframework/browse/explorer",
"Method=POST",
"TargetFrame=",
"RecContentType=application/x-json",
"Referer=https://{host_url}/workspace/index.jsp?framed=true",
"Snapshot=t19.inf",
"Mode=HTML",
ITEMDATA,
"Name=class", "Value=com.hyperion.tools.cds.explorer.ExplorerView", ENDITEM,
"Name=id", "Value=EV1390418511260", ENDITEM, //"Name=id", "Value=EV1389926310921", ENDITEM,
LAST);
This EV1390418511260 is from
this._rstExplorerViewId = "EV" + (new Date()).getTime();
from the loaded module.js file I guess, which is Unix time stamp
I tried lr_save_timestamp("timestamp", LAST ); to correlate value of id with Unix time stamp. like Value=EV{timestamp}. The request is being posted but the response body has
Content-Length: 0
X-ORACLE-BPMUI-CSRF: false
I want to try
typedef long time_t;
time_t t;
and correlate something like Value=EV{time(&t)} but here it converts to url encode and takes ascii values of those special chars.
What should I do?
Why are you using C code to replace the functionality of built in capability to LoadRunner?
See web_save_timestamp_param() for the number of milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970.
web_save_timestamp_param("tStamp", LAST );
web_submit_data("explorer",
...
ITEMDATA,
"Name=class", "Value=com.hyperion.tools.cds.explorer.ExplorerView", ENDITEM,
"Name=id", "Value=EV{tStamp}", ENDITEM,
LAST);
if this is your first trip into the Hyperion universe I would heartily suggest you find the most experienced LoadRunner professional available anywhere in the nation to support your efforts. You do not need to be struggling with tool use while at the same time working in one of the more difficult environments for any performance testing tool. Assuming you get someone who has been succesful with Hyperion recently, no matter what your organization spends (even as high as $300 per hour or more) it will be money well spent versus struggling with both tool mechanics and testing of the environment
good moring.
first of all. This is the most impressive community i ever saw!
Well several days i mused about the three-folded job of
a. getting
b. parsing
c. storing a number of pages.
Two days ago i thought that getting the pages would be the major-task. No this isnt the case - i guess that the parser-job would be a heroic task. Each of the pages that are intended to be parsed is a png-image.
So the question is - after getting all them. How to parse them!? This seems to be the issue. Guess that there are some perl-modules out there - that can help in doing this...
Well - i think that this job only can be done with some OCR embedded! Question: is there a perl-module that can be use here to support this task:
BTW: see the result-pages.
BTW;: and as i thought i can find all 790 resultpages within a certain range between
Id= 0 and Id= 100000 i thought, that i can go the way with a loop:

http://www.foundationfinder.ch/ShowDetails.php?Id=927&InterfaceLanguage=1&Type=Html

http://www.foundationfinder.ch/ShowDetails.php?Id=20011&InterfaceLanguage=1&Type=Html
http://www.foundationfinder.ch/ShowDetails.php?Id=10579&InterfaceLanguage=1&Type=Html
i thought i can go the Perl-Way but i am not very very sure:
I was trying to use LWP::UserAgent on the same URLs [see below]
with different query arguments, and i am wondering if LWP::UserAgent provides a
way for us to loop through the query arguments? I am not sure that LWP::UserAgent has a method for us to do that. Well - i sometimes heard that it is easier to use Mechanize. But is it really easier!?
But - to be frank; The first task " GETTING all the pages is not very difficult - if we compare this task with the parsing... How can this be done!?
Any ideas - suggestions -
look forward to hear from you...

You do not need a Perl module, you only need the system function.
system qw[ tesseract.exe foo.png foo.txt ];
my $text = read_file('foo.txt');
You may need to preprocess the images to help Tesseract, say using ImageMagick like:
system qw[ convert.exe -resize 200% image.jpg foo.png ];
