Preguntas Frecuentes
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp (also called epoch time or POSIX time) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC. It is widely used in programming and databases to represent points in time as a single integer.
Why does the Unix timestamp start from 1970?
The Unix operating system was developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. January 1, 1970, was chosen as a convenient, round date close to the system's origin. This date is known as the Unix epoch.
What is the Year 2038 problem?
Many older systems store Unix timestamps as a signed 32-bit integer, which can hold values up to 2,147,483,647 — corresponding to January 19, 2038. After that, the value overflows. Modern systems use 64-bit integers to avoid this limitation.
How do I convert a Unix timestamp to a date in JavaScript?
Use new Date(timestamp * 1000) because JavaScript's Date constructor expects milliseconds, while Unix timestamps are in seconds. To go the other way, use Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000).
