Libraries, programming, etc
- Short Unique IDs in Python · Sqids: "Sqids (pronounced "squids") is an open-source library that lets you generate short unique identifiers from numbers. These IDs are URL-safe, can encode several numbers, and do not contain common profanity words." This looks similar to jetpack-io/typeid or base62_uuid or other ID generation libraries I can't be bothered to find right now. Note that these IDs are not serial, so they'll have the same bad properties as database keys as UUID4s.
