Most updates to avoid the 2038 problem really just delay it until 10889. Maybe in eight in a half millennia, they will have figured out something that lasts longer.
- delecti 7mo agoHow is 10889 a problem? I thought the move to 64 bit added billions of years.
- fc417fc802 6mo agoDepends on the unit and how you interpret the bits. Nanoseconds as a signed integer "only" make it about 300 years while seconds as a 64 bit IEEE float enjoy integral precision somewhere out past 250 million years (but if you need microsecond precision then it's the same number but as years instead of mega years).
- dlcarrier 6mo agoIt's for 48-bit timestamps.
