Would the UUID v7 be more collision proof? Hard to say because it takes time into account but then the number of entropy bits are reduced hence the UUID generated exactly at the same time have more chance of a collusion because number of entropy bits are a much smaller space hence could result in collusions more easily.
Thoughts?
- AntiUSAbah 5mo agoYou open up every millisecond a new block. Should be even more unlikely
- _kst_ 5mo agoUUID v7 relies on knowing what time it is. Speculation: The most likely scenario for a UUID v7 collision is if UUIDs are generated during a system boot sequence, before the system clock is set to the current time. It's always 1970 somewhere. There are still 62 random bits, and optionally another 12 random bits, but those too could be problematic if the system hasn't generated enough entropy yet.
