This misses the point. The reason not to use UUIDv4 is that having an index on random values is slow(er), because sequential inserts into the underlying B-tree are faster than random inserts. You're hitting the same problem with your `

Yes, so that's why the compiler can't and doesn't emit the optimized version if you write the short circuited version - because it behaves differently for short strings.

It won't work, the feature set offered by different payment processors differs too much to capture in one consistent API. Even Stripe itself already offers 3 or 4 different ways to integrate with them. What you want already exists thou

That's fine, but it does mean that your current submission title is factually incorrect. You didn't build a payment processor, you build a payment gateway.

Apt has just 3 listed maintainers, and judging by the git history this guy does 90% of the work. Him making the decision _is_ it happening organically. Open source fundamentally is a do-ocracy (it's in literally all of the licenses). T

Even if technically possible, it's unlikely this will be used to support any of the variants you mentioned in Debian. Both i386 and armel are effectively dead: i386 is reduced to a partial architecture only for backwards compatibility

That only works if you make the airplane enough bigger so that you can fit more seats and thus paying passengers. The parent comment was arguing to make the plane only a little bigger so that each passenger has more space, but not enough so

by Denvercoder9 1y ago
There's no incentive. Passengers rarely know what type they'll be flying on when they book, and prioritize it over price even less. For airlines, a bigger airplane is a distinct disadvantage though, as it's operationally more
