  2. Epoch (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(computing)

    Software timekeeping systems vary widely in the resolution of time measurement; some systems may use time units as large as a day, while others may use nanoseconds.For example, for an epoch date of midnight UTC (00:00) on 1 January 1900, and a time unit of a second, the time of the midnight (24:00) between 1 January 1900 and 2 January 1900 is represented by the number 86400, the number of ...

  3. Unix time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

    Java provides an Instant object which holds a Unix timestamp in both seconds and nanoseconds. [22] Python provides a time library which uses Unix time. [ 23 ] JavaScript provides a Date library which provides and stores timestamps in milliseconds since the Unix epoch and is implemented in all modern desktop and mobile web browsers as well as in ...

  4. Snowflake ID - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_ID

    Add the value to the X Epoch of 1288834974657 (in Unix time milliseconds), [5] the Unix time of the tweet is therefore 1656432460.105: June 28, 2022 16:07:40.105 UTC. The middle 10 bits 01 0111 1010 are the machine ID. The last 12 bits decode to all zero, meaning this tweet is the first tweet processed by the machine at the given millisecond.

  5. System time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_time

    System time is measured by a system clock, which is typically implemented as a simple count of the number of ticks that have transpired since some arbitrary starting date, called the epoch. For example, Unix and POSIX -compliant systems encode system time (" Unix time ") as the number of seconds elapsed since the start of the Unix epoch at 1 ...

  6. Universally unique identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier

    A Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit label used to uniquely identify objects in computer systems. The term Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) is also used, mostly in Microsoft systems. [1] [2] When generated according to the standard methods, UUIDs are, for practical purposes, unique.

  7. BSON - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSON

    datetime w/o time zone (long integer number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch) byte array (for arbitrary binary data) Boolean (true and false) null; BSON object; BSON array; JavaScript code; MD5 binary data; Regular expression (Perl compatible regular expressions ("PCRE") version 8.41 with UTF-8 support) [6]

  8. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    There is no universal solution for the Year 2038 problem. For example, in the C language, any change to the definition of the time_t data type would result in code-compatibility problems in any application in which date and time representations are dependent on the nature of the signed 32-bit time_t integer.

  9. Delta timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_timing

    Delta time or delta timing is a concept used amongst programmers in relation to hardware and network responsiveness. [1] In graphics programming, the term is usually used for variably updating scenery based on the elapsed time since the game last updated, [2] (i.e. the previous "frame") which will vary depending on the speed of the computer, and how much work needs to be done in the program at ...
