It’s as random as any other UUID.
- Severian 9mo agoIncorrect, only some UUIDs are random, specifically v4 and v7 (v7 uses time as well). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier > 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444 This would technically be version 2, which would be built from the date-time and MAC address, and DCE security version. But overall, if you allow any yahoo to pick a UUID, its not really a UUID, its just some random string that looks like one.

Anyway we're talking about a package that doesn't matter. It's abandoned. Furthermore it's also broken, because it uses REPL without importing it. You can't even precompile it. https://github.com/pfitzseb/REPLTreeViews.jl/blob/969f04ce641d137ad9c4231f490a362a0fbdf8a2/src/REPLTreeViews.jl#L21 https://github.com/pfitzseb/REPLTreeViews.jl/blob/969f04ce64...
- anonymars 9mo agoWhich is to say, not guaranteed at all. GUIDs are designed to be unique, not random/unpredictable https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20120523-00/?p=7553 https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20120523-00/?p=75...
