I learned about parquet2json from HN recently, and would use it for this: ```bash parquet2json cat | grep ... ``` https://github.com/jupiter/parquet2json

interesting, I've had a much easier time pairing (and felt benefits like you describe) over Zoom. Pairing by actually having 2 people at a desk never felt very comfortable, but scr…

I had saved the chart here, Google reverse image search led me to this article https://streets.mn/2014/05/22/chart-of-the-day-travel-effici... which says it's from Scientific Ameri…

Is this accounting for inflation? 4% inflation per year (the most common estimate I see in the US) means 3x over 30 years doesn't even break even (1.04**30 ≈ 3.24). I often wonder …

"Each year, 1.35 million people are killed on roadways around the world." https://www.cdc.gov/injury/features/global-road-safety/index... Seems to me that traffic deaths are "cause…

Back of envelope: The 10MB estimated size came from [100 bytes per row] * [100k rows]. 50 of the bytes per row were "description", which should compress well (2-3x, I'd guess). 40 …

if you are "cutting and pasting from the notebook into a .py file" you should look at `jupyter nbconvert` on the CLI. I think there's ways to feed it a template that basically meta…

semi-OT but Twitter seems to have recently started putting "mobile.twitter.com" in my URL bar (on mobile), as well as adding a UUID in a "t" query param when you use their "copy li…

(post author here ) "Better bike infrastructure" and "a bit of pedal assist" are both good things that we need more of. Even in the best possible future, I believe cycling in US ci…

Maybe I need to caveat it more, but I'm really focused on the range from, say, ≈5mph (uphill on a "leg-bike", or starting from a stop at a light or stop sign) to ≈25mph (roughly my…

Used e-bikes are also available, and cheaper. I'm comparing new cars to new e-bikes and, sure, in both cases you can get something "pretty good" for ≈half the average new {e-bike,c…

Haha, good catch, fixed! https://github.com/neighbor-ryan/ebike-gitbook/commit/dad5ac... Did that via Gitbook WYSIWYG editor, not sure what all those other changes are about, hopef…

Hi, I'm the site creator, just saw this posted! Happy to field questions. The site is due for an update, I've been compiling a lot more resources and bolstering some of the argumen…

Humans kill a million people each year with cars. Driving should be illegal.

A problem with rebase workflows that I don't see addressed (here or in the replies) is: if I have, say, 20 local commits and am rebasing them on top of some upstream, I have to fix…

Looks cool! Mobile experience seems poor: - Weird margins taking up lots of the screen - Back button seems to be disabled (I pressed it about 200x trying to get back to HN and noth…
