When you say
produce a "64 bit timestamp"
do you mean, get the current time as a 64-bit value? (In hex?).
Or convert a timestamp (as say produced by time) into a 64-bit value?
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
