i will be severely disappointed if a certain hedgehog doesn't use that images as his avatar in the relatively close near future (say in the next 9 months)

Needs to let the Mad "@abarker" Hatter have a bash first.

i'm still waiting for him to give my next avatar the hat treatment....
:-(
besides that hat she's wearing is plenty dapper!

If it's not that, then probably SWIM.

Why in the next nine months?
-
Because she's pregnant with his Sonic love-child. Obviously.

Status: At YVR, waiting for a plane to Yurp. Have the Rust 1.0-alpha (+ documentation) installed on my tablet, so might try & play with macros if the inflight movies all suck.

Status: Gave up on ever finding a Gamera in even the geekiest of American hobby/comic shops, ordered one from Japan. It came!
(He has a normal belly you can put in there so he's not exploding all the time. I knew you were worried.)
Godzilla and Gamera, not entirely off-scale considering they're both the 90s version. (The Tabasco bottle is Toyko Tower, obvs.)
Oh noes! A new monster arrives!

not really. oddly specific would be something like saying: "eight months, twenty seven days, thirteen hours, forty nine minutes, and thirty five point three two six seconds"

Status: just finished fixing something my deploy last night broke. Script I was given to run on prod DB was missing some values on the row it was updating so had restore from the backup and then readd the new thing the update was to add.

Status: UUIDs in Python are not necessarily unique. I was using UUIDs for temporary logfiles produced by some processes run in parallel, and I had a UUID collision.

I think what he means is that it sounds like a period of time someone would pick for a reason, rather than generally picking "next few months" or whatever.

i am confused then.... what special significance could the number 9 have in this context then?
<for the record the gestation period of the red fox is ~58 days or roughly two months.
<other common species of fox have similar gestation periods
<if you do look at this raw, please play along with me here. 'kay?
-

Who knows. It's clear (now) you didn't intend a special meaning. The point is that to @RaceProUK and I at least, it seemed like a number picked for a reason.
-
What kind of UUIDs? If they're random UUIDs, there's no real guarantee that they'll be unique.
-
GUIDs are better.
-
I don't know, I just used uuid.uuid1() which StackOverflow told me was random. Supposedly UUID/GUID collisions don't happen because the value space is so large.
Perhaps I need to buy a lottery ticket.
-
Still, if you generated two 128-bit random numbers and got the same thing, you're either very unlucky or something's wrong with your computer's entropy source.
-

well if they are type 1 UUIDs and you are generating them quickly you are likely to get collisions.
type1 UUIDS are time based: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122.html#section-4.2
type4 are random so you are much less likely to have collision. according to the birthday paradox you need to generate 1.152e18 type4 UUIDs before the chance you generated a collision rose above 50%

Holy war in my office:
Is it pronounced gwid or goo-id?
-
Is it pronounced gwid or goo-id?
why do i care? pronounce it however you want! now stop fighting and let me get back to work!
-
goo-id
That's how I say it.
gwid
That doesn't make sense. "gid" (like guide but with a short 'i') would make more sense.
-
Gee-You-Eye-Dee is how I've always pronounced it.

I just got an email from a company wanting me to attend a webinar on Jan 18th. That was 5 days ago. They probably fat fingered the promo email, but the kicker is that it is from Expedient Data Centers, of which I used to be a customer of.
There are so many reasons why I am in the "used to be" customer column. But I have to admit the irony, considering their name.
-
Gee-You-Eye-Dee is how I've always pronounced it.
Yeah, I have always treated it as an initialism, not an acronym.
-
Status: dropped my phone, catching a metal table leg on the way down, shattering the screen and turning it into an expensive paperweight. Haven't even reached our first destination yet. I hate travelling.
-
goo-id
I have never heard any pronunciation other than this one.
Edited due to lack of sleep or the usual reasons...
-
Well then, TIL on here. Is there anyway to pronounce UUID? I just say the letters as an initialism.
-
YOU-id
or perhaps YOU-you-ID

-
I mean it's the only one that makes sense. You're attacked by a giant squid, not a giant skoo-id
-
But GUID actually stands for something, so it follows to pronounce it G-U-I-D.
-
RAM also stands for something.
-
It also makes an actual English word, unlike GUID.
-
RAM also stands for something.
But, it is also a word, which makes it an easy acronym. CIA could be pronounced, but everyone would look at you like an idiot for doing so.
SCUBA is also easily pronounceable, but its terrestrial counterpart is not.

And thus my reasoning for pronouncing it gwid.
