Revision as of 16:40, 30 May 2008
Okay, the Main Page lists the co-ordinates for 31 May 2008 as:
West of -30°: 0.0374870832648067, 0.2812664767643918 East of -30°: 0.0374870832648067, 0.2812664767643918
However, the irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/ for my graticule [1] shows co-ordinates of 0.702114 and 0.838062. What's going on? AshleyMorton 14:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- The data the map uses is wrong. It's using the DJIA from yesterday, I think. I just noticed that the opening values from today and yesterday were exactly the same and came here to see if anyone noticed any funny business. :) --ZorMonkey 14:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I noted this as well --80.216.129.239 14:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
The official reference implementation has the wrong market data for Friday May 30.
Debugging gives: Market open on 2008-05-30 = 12593.87 While finances.google has 12647.36 --80.216.129.239 14:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Can we assume it's getting the Dow Jones info from a feed, and thus the feed is wrong? Djomp 15:02, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- My bet is that wherever they got their info from is correct, but it wasn't yet updated for today when the webpage hit it. --161.49.253.254 15:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- The biggest problem to all this is that it means the Saturday meetup locations are wrong, too. Darcy
- Perhaps the peeron service should hit up Google every five minutes from, say, 09:35 to 10:00, just in case? I've also noticed that this server's time is ~6-7 minutes fast, so a 09:35 hit could have actually been executed at 09:28, before the market opened... --Tim P 15:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Even better, if the first hit returns the exact same number as the previous day, keep trying until something changes or it gets to be, like, noon... --Tim P 15:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
