It's 2017. Stop letting users pick their own identifiers.
- grayhatter 9y agolol wut... As opposed to? Wait, let me guess, UUIDs right?
- SkyMarshal 9y agoActually, yes, UUID's would be ideal. Then we'd just a public registrar of some sort to index them with a more human-readable name.
- BenjiWiebe 9y agoI hope this is sarcasm. The human readable IDs would than be squatted upon.
- 0xJRS 9y agoDon't feed the troll
- SkyMarshal 9y agoYes it was sarcasm :D. I wouldn't insult anyone's intelligence here by adding a /s
- a_t48 9y agoDid you pick your HN id?
- DonbunEf7 9y agoNo. I do not know how this name was chosen.
