I wrote an article comparing different GUID implementations and also prepared a clear spreadsheet with side‑by‑side implementation comparisons.

Looking at your implementation, I like the clean split between shard, tenant, and sequence.

However, this results in a 160‑bit format, which does not fit natively in most databases, as they usually use the UUID type. I also find 60 bits of randomness to be low (ULID also uses 60).

Last point, using a GUID is not only for sharding. It is also important for protecting against predictability, which beyond the GUID structure, requires using the right approved crypto‑safe random generator.

No, it will not. I live in the UAE, and I appreciate that my children do not have access to pornography or illegal websites, as these are blocked by the service providers.

This should be adopted by many other countries

HTAP is Dead 1 year ago

I found the title amusing. This died.. right after inception.

Clearly, the objectives and limitations of OLAP and OLTP differ so much that merging the two domains in a fantasy.

It's like asking two people to view through the same lens.

I love runes, I love svelte 5, I love sveltekit.

Together, they offer a seamless entry into development, allowing you to swiftly grasp concepts akin to JS/HTML.

Other options require a significant learning effort.

Wish it came earlier...

I am thrilled to reference the new release of Murex, an intuitive, typed, and content-aware shell. A command line shell is a program that provides a text-based interface for interacting with the operating system. Command line interfaces have typically been stuck in time with dusty capabilities and recurring user experience limitations.

Murex is a modern shell for the rest of us, techies, with advanced features to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and empower users to unleash the full potential of the command line.

Murex is also my latest open-source contribution.

Conways law is not about structuring... it's about domain knowledge.

ie. if you work alone on a problem, you can only solve for the issues you know.

Fish 2.0 shell beta 13 years ago

Where is the feature list? do you have screenshots?

I know it's hard with a CLI, but still if it's colorful better show the baby...
