No, because you wouldn’t know if UUID algorithm was changed. It’s a completely unnecessary coupling, like tying your shoelaces together before running.

Whether it’s a tense or not is both mentioned in the thread, and discussed here on this HN post under two or three threads now. How did you manage to miss all that? :)

“Gözümün önünde ölmüş” (“o” is implied) but in that case it means a later realization of the death because the you missed that when he was dying. That might happen, for example, when you’re in a train, and you think the person in front of y

Yes, but that’s what parent proposed? :shrug:

The assumption that the app files would always use the same format and the same UUID algorithm in that format is a totally unnecessary tight coupling for a “loading UI”. The potential future costs isn’t worth it. Adding layers, etc. Again,

People had drawn and quartered Microsoft because of simple access elevation prompts (UAC) in Vista, let alone a granular permissions system. It had to be dumbed down significantly over the years to be widely accepted. People have been doing

Ok, let me correct my question: Why is "present perfect tense" closer to a tense, but "learned past tense" is closer to a mood?
758.
by sedatk 2y ago
Why isn't it the case with the use of the term "present perfect tense" in English then, despite "perfect" being an aspect, not even a tense? How is present perfect closer to a tense, but this one closer to a mood? W

I didn't say it doesn't act as a mood. I'm saying that it acts as a tense, and therefore I can name it as such, as how grammar forefathers named "present perfect tense" in English despite all the objections from HN
760.

It is a tense. It can simultaneously function as a mood, that doesn't change its tense status. It changes the time aspect of a verb. I don't know how more tense you can be than that.

Yes. I agree with the sentiment that UUIDv7 being chronological can be useful. But, in this specific example, I think it’s a design smell to design your feature around the format of the filename and UUID generation algortihm. I’d say, wait

Thanks, but I still don’t understand why I get the pedantry when I call this a tense, but the founding fathers of English grammar walk scot-free by calling it “present perfect tense” instead of “present tense perfect aspect”? Why is this ev

by sedatk 2y ago
Okay, but this causes variability in time? I don't understand. Is there a rule in linguistics that any tense that also has another semantic function can't ever be called a tense? Then, what are these 13,000 Google Scholar articles

Then, just use thread ID and integer sequence pairs instead of trying to stuff them into an arbitrary binary format.

You're right. It's free on Windows, but isn't on Unix apparently. https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/struct.DirEntry.html#method... Still, I find that justification to rely on certain binary format of

It's a tense. Without it, the verb would be tenseless, in its imperative form: gel -> come gelmiş -> he/she/it came. (hearsay) geldi -> he/she/it came. (factual) It's not optional either.

The part I'm talking about proposes "counters" in UUID, not just date/time.

Or just use the file date.

Monotonic UUIDs leak information too.

Asynchronous unique ID generation.

I don’t understand the part where monotonicity of UUIDs is discussed. UUIDs should never be assumed monotonic, or in a specific format per se. If you strictly need monotonicity, just use an integer counter. Let UUIDs be black boxes, and ass

by sedatk 2y ago
Serial is just a terrible idea for UUID. UUIDs shouldn’t require synchronization to be generated.
775.
by sedatk 2y ago
There’s already a 72-bit random part. That should be sufficient to address conflicts. Incrementing a sequence completely kills the purpose of a UUID, and requires serialization/synchronization semantics. If you need that, just use a lo

Yes, I coined the term myself (as I mention it later in the thread) because I thought it explained its function better. This was the thread that I first used it: https://x.com/esesci/status/1666152424564719639 Now

There is even a dedicated word in Turkish to describe the relationship between the husbands of sisters :)

Sure, I don't disagree that it has multi-dimensionality in terms of semantics. But, it signifies time. When you use "gossip tense" on a verb by itself, it always signifies that something happened in the past, there is no ambi

by sedatk 2y ago
Ok, how is that different than "learned"/"reported" being the aspect and "past" being the tense in Turkish?

The packaging says "best by" though. That doesn't mean it's bad, just not the best.
