How do I tell if a timestamp is in seconds or milliseconds?

A 10-digit number (e.g. 1728216000) is in seconds (common in Python, PHP, databases). A 13-digit number (e.g. 1728216000000) is in milliseconds (standard in JavaScript Date.now()).

What is the Year 2038 problem?

On January 19, 2038, systems storing Unix timestamps as 32-bit signed integers will overflow and wrap around to 1901. Modern 64-bit systems handle timestamps for hundreds of billions of years without overflow.

Does daylight saving time affect Unix timestamps?

No. Unix timestamps are strictly based on UTC, which does not observe Daylight Saving Time. Offsets are only applied when rendering to a local timezone.
