Other than the additional pseudorandom bits (which also have drawbacks), what's the advantage of ksuid over UUIDv6 as defined in the draft?

- cratermoon 5y agoBoth text and binary representations are lexicographically sortable They don't have the awkward dash ('-') to mess with url encoding
- shortstuffsushi 5y agoCould you explain your concern with dash in url? To my knowledge, that shouldn't be in conflict with anything else like a slash, space, or plus, what sort of issues do you see?
- cratermoon 5y agoNo in the URL specifically, but in forms, with the enctype="multipart/form-data"
- shortstuffsushi 5y agoOh, are you referring to some sort of conflicts with the "boundary" separators? I would be interested to hear more about this, I haven't personally had encoding issues with dashes, or thought to try to encode them (or w/e) to avoid any issues
