FAQ
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC (the Unix epoch). It is timezone-independent and widely used in programming.
Timestamp in seconds vs milliseconds?
Unix timestamps are conventionally in seconds. JavaScript's Date.now() returns milliseconds. You can tell the difference by the number of digits: 10 digits = seconds, 13 digits = milliseconds.
What is the Y2K38 problem?
The Y2K38 (Year 2038) problem affects systems using a 32-bit signed integer for timestamps. The maximum value overflows on January 19, 2038, 03:14:07 UTC. Modern 64-bit systems are not affected.
