I am developing an application in Javascript using Appcelerator and I need to compare two different UNIX timestamps.
The problem is that it becomes longer than the other, which makes it bigger, even if it is not.
Long is generated via javascript as follows:
var d = new Date(); value.httpCacheCreated = d.getTime();
And the result:
1309443190619
And its human-readable meaning:
Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:13:10 gmt
Short is generated from Rails as follows:
current_user.updated_at.to_time.to_i
And the result:
1309442086
And its human-readable meaning:
Thu, 30 Jun 2011 13:54:46 gmt
When you look at something readable by a person, the short one is newer, but if I compare them, the long one is long and the comparison is not performed.
So how can I get the same size?
