Duration and Period
Posted on
I’m in the process or tidying up the bot behind TorAtlas and I’ve chosen to write it in Java. My undergraduate degree had a lot of Java in it, but that was while ago now, and there are some cool new features I’ve learnt about including Period and Duration. Some of the tweets coming from the bot talk about how long a relay has been contributing to the Tor network. When fetching the details document I look at the first_seen field and get this as a ZonedDateTime to make sure I’m doing all my calculations in UTC.
