... in which case my post explains why UUIDs are the better solution.
- btrask 11y agoContent hashing doesn't rely on timestamps to act as a unique identifier. It relies on all of the content, which may (or may not) include a timestamp, depending on your application. To the degree that collisions occur, that's a feature, not a bug. If you get undesirable collisions, you aren't hashing the right data. Edit: to clarify, content hashes are just like UUIDs except you can get useful collisions if you want them.
