Convert Unix time in milliseconds or seconds
Timestamps are often represented in Unix time for several key reasons:
Simplicity
Counts seconds since January 1, 1970, making it easy to understand and manipulate.
Consistency
Provides a uniform time representation across systems, unaffected by time zones or calendar changes.
Standardization
Widely supported in computing, ensuring compatibility across platforms.
Calculation
Allows straightforward arithmetic operations for time differences.
Efficiency
Stores time as a single integer, conserving memory and computational resources.
Interoperability
Facilitates seamless data exchange between systems and languages.
