If you refer to that date, then UTC. But you may just as well say that it's the number of seconds since 1969-12-31 7:00 pm EST. There is nothing special about UTC wrt Unix timestamps.

POSIX time isn’t “in UTC” regardless of that. UTC is just one of many timezones you can use when specifying which point in time timestamp 0 refers to. You could just as well use EST or anything else.

I like reading this site, because it has a few good commenters, and it’s focused on tech and programming, whereas the front page of HN sometimes looks completely dominated by politics and culture topics. It isn’t perfect, but it’s quite goo

It doesn't. Equivalent definition of Unix timestamps would be "seconds since 1969-12-31 7:00 pm EST". It doesn't mean Unix timestamps have an implicit timezone of EST.
545.
by yakubin 4y ago
In this case we're talking about Unix timestamps though, which count the number of seconds since 1970 UTC. Adding a timezone to it is nonsensical. The number is always the same, no matter which timezone you're in. It's in the

I’m from Poland and smoking in public here is everywhere. I go through the ritual of holding my breath countless times a day when I pass smokers, ever since I was a child. My visits to the UK agree with your picture of it. Fortunately I’m m

A lot of times code compiled with no optimisations (-O0) is unusable. Specifically, in video some software compiled without optimisations won't push frames on time and instead will just keep dropping frames. There was a post a couple d

Switzerland is generally looked upon as the closest a country can get to democratic these days and, from what I understand, more contentious topics there are resolved by referendums. That's something I'd agree with. Generally poli

Current compiler optimisations are written with current hardware in mind, while I doubt that older optimisations would become pessimisations on newer hardware, so I'd compare the performance of the best C compiler from 2004 against the

That Proebsting's law link is of course dead, and redirects to the main page of Microsoft Research. In my experience, it's the natural state of links to Microsoft Research pages. What's up with that?

Is KeePassXC a registered trademark? I haven't found any confirmation of it on KeePassXC's website, nor on Wikipedia, so I guess the answer is no. A shame really. Trademarks would be so useful in such situations, which seem to rec

GCC has gotten better indeed, but it's still in a different league than Clang. I still get into situations where I can't make heads-or-tails of what GCC is saying to me, which can usually be easily solved by switching to Clang.

by yakubin 4y ago
I think the main differentiators for clang were more readable error messages than the mess GCC had (and still has), and faster compilation (here it lost a bit of its advantage over time). I haven't heard of anyone praising it over GCC
