javascript - Current time is older than the previously saved time -


my assumption time runs forward, apparently doesn’t happen way.

i have following example:

var loop_ms = 100;  var prevcall = +new date();  settimeout(function loop() {     foobar();      settimeout(loop, loop_ms); }, loop_ms);  function foobar() {     var = +new date(),         diff = - prevcall;  // expected somewhere around loop_ms      // stuff     console.log(diff);      prevcall = now; }

now, of time works expected, , diff shows number close 100. of course, in real-life scenario i’d expect number go up, when user’s computer performing heavy operation.

what don’t expect, see negative number, , yet happens. how possible? missing something? thought maybe caused different timezone, it’s not. see in different browsers (chrome, firefox, safari), , diff values quite inconsistent: -9, -100 000.

it happens in 0.025% of cases on production, it’s not big issue, i’m wondering how on earth can possibly happen (even in theory)?

i think managed reproduce couple of times locally running script in slow vm , emulating high cpu load, still don’t see why function show negative number (meaning, now older prevcall).

most computers configured use ntp servers set system clock.

as system clock set first time stay in sync without need of updates.

at times (rarely) various reasons system clock may go out of sync.

as system clock doesn't match ntp server time updated , may go backwards.

ntp services (normally) configured avoid clock going backwards: if "gap" small enought ntp daemon tries instead "slow down" system clock until it's again in sysnc. said depends on configuration , size of time gap.

i think above cause in rare cases issue you're seeing.

you may find interesting: is there way ensure ntp synced clock never moves backwards?

if you're on macos may try opening console , searching ntpd.

on machine (a mbp 10.9.5) see couple of lines this...

apr  2 01:11:40 mac-di-paolo.local ntpd[46]: ntpd: wake time set -1.848017 s

...that logs system clock adjustment.

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod...

ios - Change Storyboard View using Seague -

i have following code checks connection server, , depending on want change views if no connection found. nsstring *connect = [nsstring stringwithcontentsofurl:[nsurl urlwithstring:@"http://myserver.com"] encoding:nsutf8stringencoding error:nil]; if (connect == null) { [self performseguewithidentifier:@"network_failure" sender:self]; } else { // other code here } my problem not change views. have added storyboard segue between 2 views identifier of network_failure . not have navigation controller or that, problem? thanks help! no not problem. first of all, in objectivec exists nil object oriented null . must use that. so: if(connect == nil) or better: if(!connect) so due fact nil not same of null , probably code does't enter in if scope . you have been able discover breakpoint. anyway: be sure set trigger segue (line) 2 view controller , , name network_failure (that not best name. should instead view1toview2 ) as, m...
