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 election is typically the primary election (which de

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 "view mountain". We finally slayed viewed mountain

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 government so that it's literally unable to function,

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 feeds. That said, non-full content feeds are pretty rare out

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 without support for folders. If you need

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 returned to the app), arranging items (always possible throu

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 mechanism for plain text formats that still can do a bit mo

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 function in Elixir, but we’re 94.7% Elixir, 3.7% HTML, 1.1% J

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) FILTER (where meta_key='not_n

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. I'd guess the number is sub 0.5%.

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 statements would be a sql code block that can easily referen

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 binary format with a specification and approved standard that is

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_schema_length: nil) {:error, {:polars,

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 delimited file parsers used by hundreds of thousands (

Having written tens of thousands of lines of R code that I've been maintaining and using for production pipelines for 9 years... Sounds like you worked with (or wrote) really bad R code.

I am pretty sure all of his problems would be fixed with Feedbin, which offers a great in-browser interface, shows all the feeds on the page when adding a URL, and helps with the firehose issue with filters. I also prefer Reeder to a large

This massively underrates the cost and challenge of brine waste remediation and fails to account for the cost to our broader need to reduce carbon emissions by redirecting large solar projects to brand new energy uses versus replacing exist
