Year 2038 problem

[edit]

Hello! Regarding your good-faith revert of the IP's edit, I looked at the visual and it seems (to me) like the bug occurred on the 8th second. However, I am not familiar with time computing at all so it's very likely that I'm wrong; I just wanted to make sure that "3:14:07" is the correct time, so please double-check the visual and inform me whether I'm mistaken. Thank you! xRozuRozuteacups 00:14, 16 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

As shown in the existing graphic and the intro paragraph, the "07" second is the latest that can be correctly represented. Thus the reverted wording is correct, my coloring added here for emph: "the latest time that can be properly encoded is 231 − 1 seconds after epoch (03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038). Attempting to increment to the following second (03:14:08) will cause the integer to overflow" netjeff (talk) 06:25, 16 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
That makes sense, thank you so much! :) xRozuRozuteacups 16:42, 16 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
