There is an IETF standard for UUIDs? Do we need an IETF standard for UUIDs? I’ve been coding since the '90s and never thought a UUID to be complicated or contentious enough to need a standard. I guess it makes for a pretty unique icebreaker to say you’ve contributed to an IETF standard, if you get invited to those sort of parties.
It’s this not the kind of scenario the founding fathers foresaw when drafting the second amendment?
Not a big one. In my 20s, asleep in bedroom, girlfriend asleep next to me. I wake up and see dancing, glowing blue filaments, about 20cm long, moving through the bedroom. No sound, bedroom is otherwise completely dark. It was a similar glow to Cherenkov Radiation, but at a much smaller scale, and clearly defined, glowing threads.
Wake girlfriend who grumpily agrees they exist before falling asleep again.
5 minutes later they just stop and I never see them again.
We were the only people in the house, in a room with blackout curtains and with all electrical items turned off at the wall (UK plugs rule).
Still no explanation to this day.
Bwahahahahaaa. No.
Nods of approval from those in the UK who remember Bruce Forsyth.
I hope you also have a t-shirt that says, ‘stop staring at my face, the citation is down here’
It depends, I think. If it’s a scurrilous, untrue rumour about your sexual habits, then it will be preserved indefinitely. If it’s some critical information, that is only published in one place, and you need to cite it for a paper, then it’s either gone or modified beyond recognition.
You have a great opportunity with discover-england.co.uk to fill it with pictures of Rwanda and troll the government.
My face, screaming in horror, but in words instead. I’ve only really worked with projects in homogenous languages on the application side, so hadn’t considered that. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
