The point of using a standard is that it is a standard, two uuidv7 libraries should not be incompatible outside of maybe things like clock resolution

My understanding is that PHP was sort of started by people that did not plan for it like a "serious" programming language, but rather as a tool for specific applications. So it developed features and functionalities as needed with

A good password generator should check that the random generation did not give too many repeats or that the password is not easily guessed by a simple common password list

As any kind of key you need to be able to replace them after you lose them (think of a flood or a house fire) so either: 1. You accept a non-trivial risk to be locked out forever of what you used those keys for 2. You still have a password

The pager attack cannot be considered a discriminating attack as they had no idea where the explosions would happen. Even assuming that only military personnel used the pagers they had no way to know where they would be or who else would be

Thinking about it I would guess that the kissing number covered in the article is quite similar to the concept of near orthogonality. Indeed I believe that you can redefine the n-th kissing number as: the maximum number of points on a (n-1)

I agree that there need to be utf-8 specific functionality but not everything `is` utf-8, for example filenames and filepaths. For example a JSON document should be utf8 encoded, but json strings should be able to encode arbitrary bytes as

Programming languages are too obsessed with unicode in my opinion: String operations should have bytes and utf-{8,16} versions. The string value would have is_valid_utf_{8,16} flags and operations should unset them if they end up breaking t

I guess it did not happen but I liked the idea of keeping python2 as a supported but forever frozen language. Sort of like if c was still c90 and compilers mostly had no extensions.

Python should have the ability to set per-module flags for these kinds of incompatibilities. I guess that __future__ is doing something similar, but I am thinking of something like declaring how options should be set for your module and the
