Snowflake IDs, or snowflakes, are a form of unique identifier used in distributed computing. The format was created by Twitter (now X) and is used for the IDs of tweets. [ 1 ] It is popularly believed that every snowflake has a unique structure, so they took the name "snowflake ID".
These octets are a host ID in the form allowed by the specified address family. Later, the UUID was extended by combining the legacy family field with the new variant field. Because the family field only had used the values ranging from 0 to 13 in the past, it was decided that a UUID with the most significant bit set to 0 was a legacy UUID.

The graphic showing "Components of a snowflake identifier in binary" differs from its source (where sequence and worker ID are swapped, and more annotations exist), and also does not actually show components in binary, given the fact each box seems to represent 2 bits. --2.204.112.236 10:20, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

The snowflake schema is in the same family as the star schema logical model. In fact, the star schema is considered a special case of the snowflake schema. The snowflake schema provides some advantages over the star schema in certain situations, including: Some OLAP multidimensional database modeling tools are optimized for snowflake schemas. [3]
It is located at the center of a star schema or a snowflake schema surrounded by dimension tables. Where multiple fact tables are used, these are arranged as a fact constellation schema. A fact table typically has two types of columns: those that contain facts and those that are a foreign key to dimension tables. The primary key of a fact table ...
A Snowflake proxy runs whenever the browser or program is connected to the internet. If the proxy host has a dynamic IP, the proxy will change its IP address over time. [10] [8] See also ad hoc network. Snowflake proxies are thus used as Tor entry nodes, not as exit nodes. Exit nodes are the other end of the chain.
