Assuming UUID v1 right?
- saurik 14y agoCorrect. However, that is both the generally fair assumption when dealing with use cases that actually care about UUIDs, and is the fair thing to compare Snowflake against, as Snowflake is pretty much a 64-bit limited-entropy implementation of the general concept of a v1 UUID.
