Hi All,
Tried Googling but:
Question:
Best way to externally generate Sequential UID values for a MySQL field which must be representable as a string.
Reason:
Generic UUID-ish values for in-order inserts for performance of writes and date prefixing for read speed when searching an index of the...
How is anyone here questioning the use of a UUID in a database when you don't know the details. Let's just say, for the sake of argument, I have a valid reason for wanting sequential UUIDs with on-disk insert order and index search order ... and have thought that through.
@drachenstern - yup, same second. So I have Epoch milliseconds in bigint and a non-MySQL function to obtain that number and hang a millisecond. The ID is locked, so it is in one critical section / DB transaction
@drachenstern - Doesn't matter too much in my case, as one process can only insert rows with another column ID ... and I only order on results with that ID so the transaction locks and I only need one-process sequencing
@YiJiang Yeah, it's certainly not typhoon-quality rain. Not even black rain. But, still unexpectedly extreme, especially given that I didn't know it would rain. :P
So, I was reading about this old MIME Content-Type of 1993, which type is matter-transport/sentient-life-form. What's the current status of this MIME type 17 years later?

First, a warning. I suspect this response is likely not going to be immediately comprehensibe. There is a formal set-up for your question, there are tools available to understand what's going on. They're not particularly light tools, but they exist and they're worthy of being mentioned. Befor...
As was found in the question linked to, moderators are only human, and as such, they sometimes fail. That's no surprise and to be expected. However, since moderators are humans and can make mistakes, they should have the ability to undo them.
I see no harm in allowing moderators to do this, bec...
Actually way back when we had dial up, he would call his friend on line 1, and use line 2 for the modem to play everquest with that same friend, so I couldn't get online -- that's how addicted he was. I got so frustrated one day I went into the basement and cut line 2, and rewired it directly into my bedroom. It was so great, everquest didn't work for him for months afterwards (duh) and shortly after that we got a cable modem :-D
Only years later did I reveal to him what I had done :-)
I've done some cool (well, cool to me) dynamic data systems before, but I'm going to try and make this version something that others could understand and use.
@PopularDemand oh yeah, I get it. I understand the why of the ad, it's just the audacity of asking me to suspend belief that much is a little ... audacious
but I totally get why they do it. It's a mental game.
The question is short and simple. Why can't Community Wiki posts(specially questions) be rolled back to non-Wiki state?
P.S : Recently my post here was made CW (by mistake I guess) so I was wondering if something like that(conversion from wiki to non-wiki state) could be implemented. Its merely ...
So for slashdot moderation you'll write something like "all p: Post, v : Vote | no t: Thread | p in T.posts and (all p in t.posts | v in p.votes)" to make sure you can't post and mod the same discussion.
For the XMPP interface for the Stack Overflow chat I am parsing the JSON feed from chat and generating Ruby objects for every chat events, such as messages sent, edits sent, users logging in or out, etc. I also generate events for "slash-commands" sent to the XMPP server, like "/help" or "/auth" ...

Consider a upgrades relationship:
I need to make sure that upgrades cannot be circular. How can i do that in Alloy?
