kagitac··on AWS S3 SDK breaks its compatible services
>OpenDAL integrates all services by directly communicating with APIs instead of relying on SDKs, protecting users from potential disruptions like this one.

Implying that the SDKs don't communicate directly with the APIs? This "problem" could have happened in OpenDAL just as it did in AWS SDKs.

kagitac··on Postgres UUIDv7 and per-back end monotonicity
After reading this I went ahead and added the extra 12 bits to my Go UUID library. Thanks for the write up on the PostgreSQL patch.

If anyone is interested, here is the package: https://github.com/cmackenzie1/go-uuid. It also includes a CLI similar to that of `uuidgen`, but supports version 7.

kagitac··on DuckDB – An in-process SQL OLAP database management system
I've found the CGO boundary to be quite slow for large result sets and have taken to just running commands that do SELECT and COPY to files on the system and then read those.
kagitac··on Ask HN: Have you bought I bonds yet? Why not?
> Must be a US Citizen.

That is incorrect. As long as you are a US resident for tax purposes you can purchase them.

kagitac··on New UUID Formats
Can someone ELI5 why Unix timestamp would be stored as left-padded 48 bits for a 32-bit or potentially a 64-bit number? Is it a coincidence that 48 is the middle of 32-64?

kagitac··on Phone number has been used too many times
The irony.

> An individual has a phone number

> Some people do not own phones, or do not wish to provide you with their telephone number when asked. Do not require a user to provide a phone number unless it is essential, and whenever possible try to provide a fallback to accommodate these users.

kagitac··on Show HN: I Built UUIDs-as-a-Service
I decided to build this the other day when I tried to use www.uuidgenerator.net, but it was down.

A benefit of this service is that it is deployed as a Cloudflare Worker, which is an edge computing platform so your requests are handled by the closest location to you.
