Whether you make 0 be in 1902 and use an unsigned type, or make 0 be in 1970 and use a signed type, the range of representable dates is the same.

- avgcorrection 3y agoSure. But (and what I should have added) I don't think they would need to go back that far. But you're right, you can get the same results with both.
- School-Cotton 3y agoAs others have pointed out in the thread, it was already not enough to represent the dates of birth of plenty of people who were still alive in 1970.
- avgcorrection 3y agoGood point. :)
