Patrick Schwarzenegger continues to creep out fans with his Saxon Ratliff character on HBO 's The White Lotus .

Jane Fonda called Donald Trump a 'traumatized person' in a speech that did everything but mention him by name while accepting the SAG Awards' Life Achievement prize.

The actor, 56, strutted with confidence onto the blue carpet at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall, where the prestigious awards ceremony was being held.

Jane, 87, left viewers concerned after she appeared 'dazed' and 'confused' while being interviewed on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday evening.

Demi Moore, 62, cemented her comeback status when she won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role on Sunday at the 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The firebrand Republican claimed four years ago that 'vaccine schedules' should be tailored to different races because black people have 'better immune systems' back in 2021.

Most of us, when generating a UUID, will reach for a library to do it. Even a UUIDv4, which is just a random number, presents challenges: doing randomness correctly is hard, and certain bits within the UUID are reserved for metadata about what kind of UUID we're generating.

But Gretchen's co-worker didn't reach for a library. What they did reach for was… regular expressions?

function uuidv4() { return "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx".replace(/[xy]/g, function (c) { var r = (Math.random() * 16) | 0, v = c == "x" ? r : (r & 0x3) | 0x8; return v.toString(16); }); }

At a glance, this appears to be a riff on common answers on Stack Overflow. I won't pick on this code for not using crypto.randomUUID, the browser function for doing this, as that function only started showing up in browsers in 2021. But using a format string and filling it with random data instead of generating your 128-bits as a Uint8Buffer is less forgivable.

This solution to generating UUIDs makes a common mistake: confusing the representation of the data with the reality of the data. A UUID is 128-bits of numerical data, with a few bits reserved for identification (annoyingly, how many bits are reserved depends on which format we're talking about). We render it as the dash-separated-hex-string, but it is not a dash-separated-hex-string.

In the end, this code does work. Awkwardly and inefficiently and with a high probability of collisions due to bad randomness, but it works. I just hate it.
