#TIL about the Year 2038 problem, basically Y2K's lesser-known cousin 🤦♂️👾 On 19 Jan 2038 some computers will think it's 1901 again (because they store time as a 32-bit integer) 🕰️🙃 Plenty of time to fix... right? 🛠️🐛 Thanks Matthias van de Meent for the gem on #PostgreSQL 🙌🐘 #TimeTravelBug #2038Oops
Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia
Any system using data structures with signed 32-bit time representations has an inherent risk of failing. A full list of these data structures is virtually impossible to derive, but there are well-known data structures that have the Unix time problem:
