Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

IDs should never be meaningfully sortable. It must be a meaningless operation.

Hmm. I could argue that any sequence of bytes can be used as a sort key, as long as your sort comparison handles it correctly.
Sorting a data structure on a binary key is useful for improving search times based on those key values.

Still doesn't address two different machines generating a ULID at the same time and hitting the same pseudo-random number for the remaining 80 bits. This is the same flaw as the GLID found in Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
What's the actual chance?
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, my, so much fail in such a small space.
The primary advantage of this is it is sortable and the canonical way to sort is to covert into ASCII strings and compare them?
That is just one of the fails... I will stop before I go into rant mode...

I didn't realise that the Soapbox still existed yet when I search for messages I get recent hits from it, I just don't seem to be able to access it.
Do I need to request access somehow?

Are you sure? The Soapbox was closed some time ago.
|

|

Yeah, I thought so too.

If you notice all those message are date 1 Sept 2021, so something odd there. Maybe @Chris-Maunder needs to clean them out.
|
|

|

Yeah, I just thought it was odd that I could see it at all. Thought there was some secret group I was missing out on!

So, you are saying there is a "possibility" that a covert, underground, secret society of soap-boxers exists?
very interesting.

Rule #1: We don't talk about the Soapbox.

It's like opening that old cupboard wondering what you had stored in there.
I'll get the trash bags. And some disinfectant.

Are we about to see the Code Project episode of Hoarders[^]?

I wonder if they just have the wrong timestamps.

You must know the secret password and the secret handshake. Only then will you be allowed to start down the eldritch path to the Soapbox, with terror and death lurking on both sides of the path. 
Actually, no. The Soapbox was shut down some time ago.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Trailer: Star Trek: Picard | Season 2 | Official Trailer - YouTube[^] Looks interesting.
Release date? Ah ... well ... "February 2022". A little vague, but it's still five or six months away.

It says 'This February'... Do we have to time-travel to see it?
