| 00:00.02 | Mr_Rabies | takes me back to the alt tabbing diablo days |
| 00:00.47 | Mr_Rabies | you could also be under attack by a d'arby brother, foxlit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeGw5QyX8Qo |
| 00:01.40 | Mr_Rabies | or maybe you are one |
| 00:01.49 | Mr_Rabies | would explain a lot, honestly |
| 00:07.50 | Ketho | why does GetServerTime() return the local time instead of the server time, as the name would imply |
| 00:12.21 | foxlit | what do people think "server time" means anyway? |
| 00:13.28 | Ketho | for me it's the time of the realm |
| 00:13.58 | foxlit | which realm? |
| 00:14.18 | foxlit | (and what if you aren't on your realm right now?) |
| 00:17.22 | Ketho | no idea. it would probably be different if I'm on some weird other server |
| 00:17.53 | foxlit | why do you think it gives you local time? |
| 00:18.15 | Ketho | I logged on an US realm while in EU and the time returned from GetServerTime() was my actual local time |
| 00:19.14 | foxlit | I mean, it returns something like 1596154733. |
| 00:20.11 | foxlit | your local time is usually something nicer like 2:20 am. |
| 00:20.13 | nebula | it's a unix timestamp, it's just the server's timestamp instead of your local one, which should be the same or within a few seconds |
| 00:20.43 | nebula | ie vs time() |

| 00:26.18 | Ketho | on the US realm date(nil, GetServerTime()) returns 02:25 |
| 00:27.07 | foxlit | date is doing that for you. |
| 00:27.30 | foxlit | what GetServerTime() is telling you is that the server thinks its 00:25 UTC right now. |
| 00:28.32 | foxlit | and date goes "hm, this is UTC, my OS says I'm in UTC+2, better add two hours" |
| 00:29.35 | Ketho | everyday you learn something new ._. |

| 00:31.58 | foxlit | (this is entirely unconnected to realm time, which the API usually calls Game time) |
| 01:28.53 | Ketho | does this documentation make any sense https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_GetServerTime |
| 01:38.40 | foxlit | "server's time" is deeply suspicious; "a Unix timestamp" only means anything if you already know precisely what it means, ditto "epoch"; comparing to GetGameTime is awkward since that deals with realm time. |
| 01:40.08 | Elmoe | So I'm observing what is at least to me counterintuitive behavior from UnitDetailedThreatSituation |
| 01:40.41 | Elmoe | If I do something like UnitIsFriend("player", "party1target") even if that unit ID doesn't exist (i.e. I'm not in a party) it just returns false |
| 01:41.10 | Elmoe | However, a call like UnitDetailedThreatSituation("player", "party1target") throws an error like I had passed a nil second argument |
| 01:41.16 | Elmoe | anyone understand this? |
| 01:42.22 | foxlit | the examples are nice. You might want to state what your local machine time, UTC time, and realm time (in-game clock, I guess?) were at the time of those observations. Repeating this with manually offset local machine time might be helpful for some of the sections |
