Hello, I'm not very experienced with JavaScript, I've been working with it on and off for a little less than a year with help from a friend.

I'm trying to create a timezone bot that displays current times in various areas, it is still very early in development as I work on crucial parts of it.
Currently everything is split into various constants, including the UTC offset value.
However, I noticed, in the arrangement I wrote this, it will just add the offset to the end of the hours instead of adding or subtracting from the hours.

const time = new Date();
let hoursUTC;
const minutesUTC = (time.getUTCMinutes() < 10 ? '0' : '') + time.getUTCMinutes();
const UTCOffset = (5);
let finalTime;

// time
    const timeFormat = true; // false = 24 hours format | true = 12 hours format (add AM + PM)
    let AMPM;


if (timeFormat === true) {
    hoursUTC = time.getUTCHours();
    AMPM = (hoursUTC >= 12 ? 'PM' : 'AM');
    finalTime = ((`${hoursUTC}` + `${UTCOffset}`) + ':' + `${minutesUTC}` + `${AMPM}`);
    console.log(finalTime);
}

I've messed with various ideas, but ultimately haven't gotten anywhere with it.
I appreciate any help I can get

Hi!

I know there are crates like chrono and time and there are some things available from std. But, how do I get the actual number of seconds/minutes/hours from local time to utc in rust? I want an actual value, not an abstraction like chrono does.

Anyone?

Hello! Author of the time crate here. I'm looking to add the ability to obtain the local UTC offset. However, I'm having a hard time thinking of use cases to get access to that info directly. The only instance I can think it would be relevant is for display/formatting. Pretty much every other case, it would be more idiomatic to perform all calculations using UTC.

If you have a use case, speak up! Now's your chance. I could very well be missing something obvious. If there isn't a convincing use case to access the offset directly, there won't be a method for it. Of course, it would still be possible to hack your way around it, but that's not really the point.

[Shameless plug: feel free to help out if you're familiar with OS APIs. Safety checks are always appreciated ☺]

Edit: I've seen enough between here and on the user's forum to confidently say that the API will be exposed!

There are 3 columns - City, Time and UTCOffset in my csv. I need to combine the Time and UTCOffset to generate a timezone aware column as the Time column can have any timezone. For eg.

City       Time              UTCOffset 
Boston     30/08/2019 12:30     -5 
Tucson     08/08/2019 16:45     -7 
SanDiego   16/08/2019 09:30     -7

I need my output to be:

City       Time 
Boston     30/08/2019 12:30:00-05:00 
Tucson     08/08/2019 16:45:00-07:00 
SanDiego   16/08/2019 09:30:00-07:00

Thinking of doing a string cast but that does not look good. Help me r/Python

Increment the count by the UTC offset, in hours, of the timezone you are currently in. For example, if you are in London, increment by 1 (due to BST), in LA increment by -7, and in Newfoundland increment by -2.5.

Get is at ±600

Thanks /u/nicholas818 for the assist!

Description of this count:

The next get is at 0 or -1,200.

For some time now I've been wondering just how close to the mark we're getting when we post for Feedback Friday and Screenshot Saturday. I haven't received much feedback at all regarding how accurate our scale of time is for everybody's schedule. I'd like to take a moment for the subreddit to quickly check their UTC offset so we can coordinate together on a timezone that will benefit the majority of users here.

We've been using UTC+-00:00 for the longest time and maybe we've got the right figure the first go around, but it can't hurt to check. This certainly won't benefit everybody, but I'd like to take a poll regardless and see if there's any minor tweaking we need to do. For example, if you are in the western United States (as I am), you should have already come to expect that Feedback Friday and Screenshot Saturday come almost an entire day early. If this is also feeling a tad early for those of you that are across the pond, maybe we can push this forward a bit and it'll work out for everybody.

If you would like to participate and anonymously submit your timezone's UTC offset, please feel free to do so.

Here is an instructional image with awesome red squiggly arrows (if that suits your fancy):

Or better yet, a text version that is a lot less convoluted:

1. Head over to Time & Date - Worldclock.
2. Enter your location and click Search.
3. Make note of your UTC offset (it's in the light green Time Zone box just slightly down the page).
4. Submit your time at the Straw Poll (pay attention to the + or - sign!).

(When entering your location - if you do not see a Time Zone box, you aren't being specific enough!)

Doing some troubleshooting on a device located in E/T and I checked last boot via wmic. I understand the first part of the string (date/time) but can't figure out the part after the decimal (see below).

I was looking for the territories that went up for contest during Australian prime-time and made this sheet along the way (there's only one btw feelsbad).

Go File > Make a copy and modify the value in the UTC offset cell with your city's UTC offset.

It's for the Royal Continent only right now but I'm happy to do Outlands if people want it.

I'm not quite sure where the gets should be at... someone help me out here?
