Ruby, Rails and difference between two dates
I will let the example speak for it self:
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > DateTime.now
=> Mon, 14 Feb 2011 20:02:49 +0100
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > User.first.开发者_如何转开发created_at
=> Tue, 04 May 2010 07:03:24 CEST +02:00
ruby-1.9.2-p0 > DateTime.now-User.first.created_at

What?!?
.created_at
returns an ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone
object. Try
DateTime.now - User.first.created_at.to_datetime
You can instead use
Time.now - User.first.created_at
This will report the number of seconds between now and your first user creation time.
