alt Hacker News66 days + 12 hours are 5,745,600,000,000,000 ns. The log2 of this is 52.351...
Javascript and some other languages only have integer precision up to 52 bits then they switch to floating point.
Curious.

Bingo! Someone decided to store timestamps in float64 which has 52 bit mantissa, and the time functions break when losing precision.
It's 32 bits of milliseconds, right? Hm, no, that would overflow much sooner (49.7 days).
