  • You don’t quite understand. One of the major drawbacks of UUIDs over monotonically increasing id’s is the lack of ability to sort them. Not just for manual querying, but for index operations, caching, data locality etc.

    It’s very handy and is a big part of the reason why Twitter developed Snowflake IDs, which are basically like UUIDs v6 and v7.

    The UUIDs specs are quite easy to understand and definitely not “enterprisey”.

    They chose “version” because they are just that, versions. Improvements over the original design that benefit from new insights and technological improvements. We’re lucky they had the foresight to include a version number in the spec.










  • Either you misunderstand or the person you are responding to is. If you retroactively add a license to the current state of the code (for example by committing a new LICENSE file and adding the new license to the top of each file), or course that applies to the entire state of that code as of that commit. What is more difficult is that earlier commits won’t have that license explicitly unless you rewrite git history to make that happen (which is possible but tedious).

    You can always relicense code you own the rights to. You can even dual license it, or continue to use it commercially in terms contradicting the license you open sourced it as, as long as you have the permission of every contributor.

    The idea that a license added would only apply to code added after the license change is very funny.






  • Hello neighbor! I’ve had them prescribed, but when asked if it was really necessary or if I could give it a bit longer to see if my body could deal with it on its own, my doctor got a big smile and told me he could. Then he said that the dominant demographic in my area is very persistent and pushy in demanding antibiotics for the slightest thing so he’s gotten a bit too used to prescribing them.
