The site says privacy-first and also says "we cannot lose your data if we never collect it" but it makes a WHOLE lot of POST calls passing what appear to be encrypted payloads, and…

What is the advantage of this over the parser used by xsv? From the documentation, the only difference I can see is that xsv handles weird CSV better than this crate-- which in som…

Looks interesting and I gave it a whirl-- thank you. Your intro mentions filter + sort, but I couldn't find a way to do that in the web UI (maybe that's just my ineptitude). Re you…

Hi HN, I'm the author of zsv. zsv was built because I needed a library to integrate with my application, and other CSV parsers had one or more of a variety of limitations (couldn't…

> even if it's "this isn't useful because X." OK... this isn't useful to me because I now just only use mermaid and stopped using other diagraming tools, because mermaid can be emb…

Maybe better if the website discloses the fact that file names are getting tracked via POST to the server

I'm interested. That is the nightmare my company obsesses about solving

Your follow-up post is helpful and appreciated! Re the original analysis, my own opinion is that the outcome is only surprising when the critical detail, highlighting how the two a…

That is great, thank you. I'd love to continue the conversation-- maybe easier in a separate forum. Can I follow-up via the email address on your profile (gaven...)?

Glad to be helpful-- I'm in the business of data process automation, so I appreciate the opportunity to learn about new use cases. If you are willing to share what your end goal wa…

This is misleading. First, as other comments have noted, it is comparing multi-threaded/parallelized vs single-threaded, and its total CPU time is much longer than wc's. Second, it…

I am always a proponent of starting with the end goal and then working backward. What are the end results you are aiming to achieve (or aiming to allow your audience to achieve)? I…

Haven't yet seen any of these beat https://github.com/liquidaty/zsv (of which I'm an author) when real-world constraints are applied (e.g. we no longer assume that line ends are al…

I cannot imagine any way it is worth anyone's time to follow this article's suggestion vs just using something like zsv ( https://github.com/liquidaty/zsv , which I'm an author of)…

so true. sometimes the best solutions are not sexy

While you're making a CSV variant, why not go the extra step and remove the single most problematic CSV performance problem and make NSV compatible with high-performance, paralleli…

Wanted an updater for a CLI utility so that a user could run "my-utility update" and have it self-updated. Did not want to go through package managers, in order to have better dist…

Do you have revenue? If not, how close to revenue are you?

If it could be tabular in nature, maybe convert to sqlite3 so you can make use of indexing, or CSV to make use of high-performance tools like xsv or zsv (the latter of which I'm an…

csvkit and miller are both extraordinarily slow try xsv ( https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv ) or zsv ( https://github.com/liquidaty/zsv ) instead (the latter of which I'm an author…
