It was a blast.

Of course they are, and the order "reduce, reuse, recycle" are in that order for a reason-- reuse (via resale) is superior to recycling the product itself.

This looks killer for analytic workloads in app or even just basic data transformation/munging from a data lake.

It's unusual that Cuomo ran as an independent trying to "spoil"-- but NYC has such a large number of Democrats (like many US cities) that the more competitive and important electio…

We did the views on view thing once when triggers, at least how we implemented them failed. This became a huge regret that we lived with for years and not-so affectionately called …

The people in charge are intentionally ignorant of things that _already exist in government_, like the OIG, 18F/USDS, etc. And since their actual goal is to slash and burn the gove…

A lot of services, (like Feedbin in my prior reply) and a lot of reader applications will permit different ways of viewing the data to get full content to appear even in truncated …

I don't really know what you mean. There's a ton of feed readers, both from an application and server side. I don't really need a lot of organization, but I've never seen a reader …

This feels like a case for a function.

All of these are fixed in the latest version (possibly just the beta that is about to be released to the store). That includes OPML export (which remained available online but has …

Of course you can use any number of ways to implement rich text or formatting. A lot of people want Markdown because of the portability of plain text. Markdown has served as a good…

We have a four year old application, 10+ developers, 2500+ PRs, and I don’t think a line of erlang has been written by us. Maybe there’s one or two instances of calling an Erlang f…

Most of the time I'm using `filter ... where` for cases like these... for example select column_name, MAX(value) FILTER (where meta_key='total_rows') as total_row, MAX(value) FILTE…

I definitely want to see a monitor with Vision Pro-style eye tracking and hand tracking. I'd love for eyesight and subtle gestures to fully replace pointer devices.

Managing to leave out parking costs, which could easily be $50 in a garage is very convenient. Also, I'd eat my shoe if more than 5% of cars entering Manhattan had 5 people in them…

A vote here for a SQL cell. I want folks to use Livebook and Explorer more, but a very easy win for data folks who are not familiar with Ecto and are mostly writing complex select …

One way to think about this is that CSVs are poorly specified, and what specifications do exist are ignored by CSV generating processes from popular RDBMSs. The advantage of a bina…

Yes-- that's precisely what I'm saying. They should be better at validation, and my experience is that `data.table::fread` in R is the best in class.

I tried `polars` via Explorer from Elixir, and it shit the bed in an entirely different way: ``` df = Explorer.DataFrame.from_csv(filename = "my_file.txt", delimiter: "|", infer_sc…

What you're saying is I should build and maintain my own delimited file parser with my own logic for healing these files and logging, rather than using any number of hugely popular…
