Graph with the number of events per hour? - time

I've got a list of Unix time stamps that looks like this:
1410576653
1410554469
1410527323
1410462212
1410431156
1410403429
1410403373
1410403258
1410402648
1410381795
1410293563
1410293330
1410292982
1410292718
1410276140
1410260911
1410233396
1410232755
1410229962
1410228512
1410222924
1410222655
1410221546
1410219208
1410218477
These were collected every time a certain event happened on my application.
I've got about 1100 of these within a timespan of about 4 years.
I want to find out what hours of the day the events happen most (or don't happen) on.
What would be the best way to create a graph with the number of events that happened per hour?

What is "INTERVAL=0" means in Oracle Schedular?

My Oracle DBA have setup a task with following repeat_interval:
Start Date :"30/JAN/20 08:00AM"
Repeat_interval: "FREQ=DAILY; INTERVAL=0; BYMINUTE=15"
Can I ask what is "Interval=0" means?
Does it means this task will run daily from 8AM, and will repeat every 15 mins until success?
I tried to get the answer from Google, but what I find is what is Interval=1, but nothing for 0.
So would be great if anyone can share me some light here.
Thanks in advance!
INTERVAL is the number of increments of the FREQ value between executions. I believe in this case that a value of 0 or 1 would be the same. The schedule as shown would execute once per day (FREQ=DAILY), at approximately 15 minutes past a random hour (BYMINUTE=15, but BYHOUR and BYSECOND are not set).
Schedule has nothing to do with whether or not the previous execution succeeded or not. Start Date is only the date at which the job was enabled, not when it actually starts processing.
If you want it to run every 15 minutes from the moment you enable it, you should set as follows:
FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=15
If you want it to run exactly on the quarter hour, then this:
FREQ=MINUTELY; BYMINUTE=0,15,30,45; BYSECOND=0
If you want it to run every day at 8am, then this:
FREQ=DAILY; BYHOUR=8; BYMINUTE=0; BYSECOND=0

Google Spreadsheet time between date - hour calculation

I am at a loss, i looked around the internet and stackoverflow but every so called solution is giving either errors or plainly don't work.
I have the following setup.
4 fields (setup in date dd-mm-yyyy, hour hh:mm:ss) seconds are not important.
start date : 7-1-2020
start hour : 23:30:00
end date : 8-1-2020
end hour : 03:50:00
What i want to happen is to calculate the diffrence in 'hours, minutes' between the end and the start date, hour. But when I calculate and change the end date to lets say 09-01-2020 it does not count the extra 24h at all.
Use Text format:
=text(A3-A1+A4-A2,"[H]:MM")
You need to format the time difference as a duration using the custom format
[h]:mm
for hours and minutes
or
[h]
for whole hours.
There are some good notes on how it works in Excel here and as far as I can tell from testing it Google Sheets is the same.
Alternatively, if I read your question as wanting to drop the minutes and seconds from the times before doing the calculation, you could use
=(B3-B1)*24+hour(B4)-hour(B2)
and just format the result as a normal number.
After alot of fiddeling and this post i came to the conclusion that the main issue was not laying within the mathematical but within the format of the cell.
By default all time values in sheets are 24h max.
So the basic formula =start - end
The time format needed should be
more date time format
elapsed hours : elapsed minutes
apply
Now you should see the correct elapsed hours and minutes

Find the difference between 2 dates and check if smaller than a given value

my issue is that I want to be able to get two time stamps and compare if the second (later taken) one is less than 59 minutes away from the first one.
Following this thread Compare two dates with JavaScript
the date object may do the job.
but first thing i am not happy with is that it takes the time from my system.
is it possible to get the time from some public server or something?
cause there always is a chance that the system clock gets manipulated within the time stamps, so that would be too unreliable.
some outside source would be great.
then i am not too sure how to get the difference between 2 times (using 2 date objects).
many issue that may pop up:
time being something like 3:59 and 6:12
so just comparing minutes would give the wrong idea.
so we consider hours too.
biut there the issue with the modulo 24.
day 3 23:59 and day 4 0:33 wouldnt be viewed proper either.
so including days too.
then the modulo 30 thing, even though that on top changes month for month.
so month and year to be included as well.
so we would need the whole date, everything from current year to second (because second would be nice too, for precision)
and comparing them would require tons of if clauses for year, month, etc.
do the date objects have some predfeined date comparision function that actually keeps all these things in mind (havent even mentioned leap years yet, have I)?
time would be very important cause exactly at the 59 minutes mark (+-max 5 seconds wouldnt matter but getting rmeitely close to 60 is forbidden)
a certain function would have to be used that without fail closes a website.
script opens website at mark 0 min, does some stuff rinse and repeat style and closes page at 59 min mark.
checking the time like every few seconds would be smart.
Any good ideas how to implement such a time comparision that doesnt take too more computer power yet is efficient as in new month starting and stuff doesnt mess it up?
You can compare the two Date times, but when creating a date time there is a parameter of DateTime(value) which you can use.
You can use this API to get the current UTC time which returns a example JSON array like this:
{
"$id":"1",
"currentDateTime":"2019-11-09T21:12Z",
"utcOffset":"00:00:00",
"isDayLightSavingsTime":false,
"dayOfTheWeek":"Saturday",
"timeZoneName":"UTC",
"currentFileTime":132178075626292927,
"ordinalDate":"2019-313",
"serviceResponse":null
}
So you can use either the currentFileTime or the currentDateTime return from that API to construct your date object.
Example:
const date1 = new Date('2019-11-09T21:12Z') // time when I started writing this answer
const date2 = new Date('2019-11-09T21:16Z') // time when I finished writing this answer
const diff = new Date(date2-date1)
console.log(diff.toTimeString()) // time it took me to write this
Please keep in mind that due to network speeds, the time API will be a little bit off (by a few milliseconds)

eBay API error : You have exceeded your maximum call limit

I have a table of eBay itemid, and for each id I want to apply a reviseitem call, but from the second call I get the following error:
You have exceeded your maximum call limit of 3000 for 5 seconds. Try back after 5 seconds.
NB: I have just 4 calls.
How can I fix this problem?
ebay count the calls per second per unique IP's. So please make sure your all calls from your application must be less than 3000 per 5 seconds. hope this would help.
I have just finished an eBay project and this error can be misleading. eBay allow a certain amount of calla a day and if you exceed that amount in one 24 hour period you can get this error. You can get this amount increased by completing an Application Check form http://go.developer.ebay.com/developers/ebay/forums-support/certification
The eBay Trading API, to which your ReviseItem call belongs, allows up to 5000 calls per 24 hour period for all applications, and up to 1.5M calls / 24hrs for "Compatible Applications", i.e. applications that have undergone a vetting process called "Compatible Application Check". More details here: https://go.developer.ebay.com/developers/ebay/ebay-api-call-limits
However, that's just the generic, "Aggregate" call limit. There are different limits for specific calls, some of which are more liberal (AddItem: 100.000 / day) and others of which are more strict (SetApplication: 50 / day) than that. Additionally, there are hourly and periodic limits.
You can find out any application's applicable limits by executing the GetApiAccessRules call:

You can try that out four your own application by pasting an AuthToken for your application into the form at https://ebay-sdk.intradesys.com/s/9a1158154dfa42caddbd0694a4e9bdc8 and then press "Execute call".

Logic for tracking hours worked

I was wanting to write a program in C that I can simply type in the hours that I worked for each day of the week, including time on break, that will take my input and return the total number of hours I have worked for that week. It's dumb, I know, but I am not sure how to do the math for this regarding time on the clock.
Thank you
At beginning of work: get the current date, make it into seconds.
At end of work: get the current date, make it into seconds.
So working seconds = end seconds - beginning seconds
Then you'll just have to make those into hours.
