#324This probably shows that I don't know much about UUIDs, but how come when I search for "asd" or "den", there are no matches?

Its hex. Only characters A-F are used.

These are hexadecimal digits, so only 0-9 and a-f are allowed.

UUIDv4s use hexadecimal digits which are the characters 0-9 and then a-f so neither of 's' or 'n' could be contained in a UUIDv4.

Memorable UUIDs? I think you're on to something here! (Also, dibs on 00000000-0000-4321-abcd-000000000001!)
The most offensive sentence I could come up with leetspeak/hexspeak is this one: fe11a710-babe-4150-ace5-b19b1accd1cc (Yes it's a valid UUID) (I am so sorry)

4 is the minimum number of digits required, but there are over a dozen different PIN block standards, and most allow between 4..9 and 4..16 digits: https://www.eftlab.com/knowledge-base/complete-list-of-pin-b... Making an ATM that can accept cards from multiple issuers (which is the norm these days) and allowing only 4 digits is the same category of error as requiring that the first character of someone's last name s…

Re: Every V4 UUID
#330The fact that the search works impressed me more than anything. Of course, like every great magic trick, it seems so simple once it is explained. For the curious, here's the linked blog post describing how the project works: https://eieio.games/blog/writing-down-every-uuid/ Edit to add: I'd only tried searching for an exact UUID when I wrote this comment. I didn't realize it supports full text search! Now I'm even mo…
This is neat, although I pushed it later with incremental search and it seems to be skipping results as it only found ~50 when searching for `-000000000000`.
