| 01:19 | <@celticminstrel> | There are tons and tons of date tools to be found online, but I can’t seem to find any geared towards interpreting incomplete dates. |
| 01:20 | <@celticminstrel> | Like “find a year that contains Friday 13 in a specific month” for example. |
| 01:20 | <@celticminstrel> | Presumably given additional constraints to narrow it down. |
| 01:21 | <@celticminstrel> | But more general than that. |
| 01:22 | <@celticminstrel> | Now that I’m searching based on that example in particular, I see TimeAndDate.com supports that exact example, but no other similar example. |
| 01:22 | <@celticminstrel> | Tho I have no idea how you’d find it from the front page. |
| 01:23 | <@celticminstrel> | “that example” —> “Friday the 13th” but not “Friday the 13th in a specific month” |
| 01:24 | <@celticminstrel> | I mean, it’s barely enough, but still… |
| 01:24 | <&Reiver> | This is usually when I just grab a table of dates in a database and just start throwing WHERE clauses, so I'm not much help |
| 01:24 | <@celticminstrel> | Eek. |

| 01:25 | <@celticminstrel> | (Other constraints that would be nice to have include moon phases.) |
| 01:25 | <&[R]> | > a = []; for (var y = 1970; y < 2022; ++y) { var d = new Date(y, 6, 13); if (5 == d.getDay()) { a.push(d) } } |
| 01:25 | <&Reiver> | WHERE DayOfWeek = "Friday" AND DayOfMonth = 13 AND CalendarMonth = "September" or whatever |
| 01:25 | <@celticminstrel> | Hmm. |
| 01:25 | <&[R]> | That's how I'd do it TBH |
| 01:25 | <&[R]> | <3 REPL for stuff like that |
| 01:26 | <@celticminstrel> | Right, that can work, sure… |
| 01:26 | <@celticminstrel> | Is that JavaScript specifically? |
| 01:26 | <&[R]> | Yes |
| 01:27 | <&[R]> | You can do that either with node.js, or the web console in Firefox or Chrom(e|ium) |
| 01:27 | <@celticminstrel> | Geh, November is not 11? |
| 01:28 | <&[R]> | Months and days of week start at 0 |
| 01:28 | <&[R]> | But days of month start at 1 |
| 01:28 | <@celticminstrel> | Please be consistent, API people! |
| 01:28 | <&[R]> | Because having a SANE date object was not a priority |
| 01:28 | <@celticminstrel> | BTW, is that true in ISO8601 too? It’s not, right? |
| 01:31 | <&[R]> | No idea |
| 01:31 | <&[R]> | No idea |
| 01:32 | <@celticminstrel> | I should know this but I can’t remember. |

| 02:17 | <@gnolam> | <[R]> Months and days of week start at 0 |
| 02:17 | <@gnolam> | Where "day of week" is ill defined because, as usual, Americans hate units of measurement that make sense. |
| 02:20 | <@gnolam> | Americans: "Weekend" means "Saturday and Sunday". |
| 02:20 | <@gnolam> | Also Americans: Sunday is the start of a week. |
| 02:20 | <@gnolam> | ... |
| 02:22 | <@celticminstrel> | I guess that is contradictory, huh… |
| 03:13 | <&McMartin> | A week is a line segment in time. |
| 03:13 | <&McMartin> | It has two ends. |
| 03:33 | < Alek> | that is, indeed, true. |
| 04:45 | <&McMartin> | Hm. Time for me to implement cheap-ass futures, in C |
