Gaping holes seems unlikely, more loss of detail or shifted colors. You can experience something like that by using plugins which simulate CVD / color blindnesses.

Even proving your identity to a government entity is non-trivial, as can be seen by the administration trying to use that as a new poll tax.

And JITs often don't care for type specifications as they can generally get better info from the runtime values, need to support that anyway , and for languages like python the type specifications can be complete lies anyway. They als

To be fair that’s literally just a waste of resources. If you want 128 random bits just get 128 random bits from the underlying source, unless your host langage is amazingly deficient it’s just as easy.

That the problem is already solved does not mean the solution is good. Or that you can’t solve it better. A uuidv4 is 15.25 bytes of payload encoded in 36 bytes (using standard serialisation), in a format which is not conducive to gui text

The global uniqueness of a uuid v4 is the global uniqueness of pulling 122 bits from a source of entropy. Structure has nothing to do with it, and pulling 128 bits from the same source is strictly (if not massively) superior at that.

Postgres’s PREPARE is per-connection so it’s pretty limited, and then connection poolers enter the fray and often can’t track SQL-level prepares. And then the issue is not dissimilar to Postgres’s planner issues.

And BEAM was the reimplementation of the Erlang runtime, the actual model is part of the language semantics which was pretty stable by the late 80s, just with a Prolog runtime way too slow for production use.
