  • Are you using UUID version 1, version 2, version 3, version 4, or version 5? Commented Sep 17, 2020 at 14:11
  • It seems v5 is not what I am looking for, v4 seems to be better (for my purposes: docs.python.org/3/library/uuid.html) Commented Sep 17, 2020 at 14:19
  • Why do you need to know this in the first place? Just curious? Or do you have a specific application in mind, in which case you're likely overthinking the problem? Commented Sep 17, 2020 at 17:38

    Please, do not change your question in a way that invalidates existing answers. That is considered to be very rude because it nullifies all the hard work that the answerers have put into their answers, especially since none of us get paid to, essentially, do your work for you. It also makes answerers look like idiots, unless you carefully inspect the question history and compare the timestamps of the edits and the answers. If you want to clarify something, edit it into your question in such a way that it does not fundamentally change the question and does not invalidate any answers. Commented Sep 21, 2020 at 4:17
