time between time

time between time

[Emanuel Berg via help-gnu-emacs]

Is this any good?

(defun wall-clock-time (h1 m1 s1 h2 m2 s2)
  (let*((d   08) ; bonus points if anyone knows what happened then
        (m   05)
        (y 1978)
        (total-seconds-1 (float-time (encode-time s1 m1 h1 d m y)))
        (total-seconds-2 (float-time (encode-time s2 m2 h2 d m y)))
        (s-diff (- total-seconds-2 total-seconds-1)) )
    (format-seconds "%hh %mm %ss" s-diff) ))
(defalias 'wct        #'wall-clock-time)
;; (wct 09 35 00 23 00 00) ; "13h 25m 0s"

RMS's response to first SPAM, a posting for a job at DEC?

Hah :) What? :O

No, for the record it was the first summit of
Mt Everest without supplemental oxygen. [1]

But: One never wants to add data to a program
which has no meaning - the data has no meaning,
that is - and "meaning" here in terms of the
program, of course - one never wants to do
that, but here I couldn't come up with a way to
do it otherwise, at least not without thinking
beyond what I thought was motivated as the
"no-meaning data" solution still solved the
problem with the time program. I didn't have
the time to do it any better than that...


     Timeline! This is no time to argue about
     time. We don't have the time!
