8 versions of UUID and when to use them - Lemmy.ca

They should make the versions UUIDs instead of integers so that we don’t make assumptions about their ordinal relationships.
Yea, should have been V-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000008 instead
Yes and no. They had to put the version identifier somewhere to avoid sorting problems or parsing problems, so I think that putting somewhat in the middle is a good tradeoff.
