> Well what would be a more accurate title? "CSV format should only be for external interchange or archival; columnar formats like Parquet or Arrow better for performance"?

Something more boring, like "Consider whether other options make more sense for your data exports than CSV". Plenty of people have suggested other good options in comments on this submission, such as for example sqlite. I think the post comes off as if I'm trying to sell a particular file format for all uses cases, when what I had in mind when writing it was to discourage using CSV as a default. CSV has a place, certainly, but it offloads a lot of complexity on the people who are going to consume the data, in particular, they need to figure out how to interpret it. This can't necessarily be done by opening the file in an editor and looking at it, beyond a certain size you're going to need programming or great tools to inspect it anyway.

I was given an initial export of ~100 poor quality CSV files totaling around 3TB (~5-6 different tables, ~50 columns in each) in size a few years back, and had to automate ingestion of those and future exports. We could've saved a lot of work if the source was able to export data in a friendlier format. It happened more than once during that project that we were sent CSVs or Excel sheets that had mangled data, such as zip codes or phone numbers with leading 0s removed. I think it is a good thing to inform people of these problems and encourage the use of formats that don't necessity guessing data types. :shrug:

> People are busy; instead of hinting "something more robust than CSV", mention the alternatives and show a comparison (load time/search time/compression ratio) summary graph. (Where is the knee of the curve?)

This might be an interesting thing to follow up later, but would require a lot more work.
Yes.

"We don't take Amex" is already annoying enough without adding "we don't take Visa Signature/Infinite or Mastercard World Elite" to the mix.
Krita defaults to a "Paint Layer" behaving very like Photoshop; it can also add "Vector Layers" that behave like Illustrator. I think it is fair to say it replaces both for a lot of use cases.
GIMP is much closer to just Photoshop (and say Inkscape is much more only Illustrator).

That's mostly correct. It is as you say, except that shading and texturing come for free. You may be thinking of Playstation where you do indeed get decreased fillrate when texturing is on.

Now, if you enable 2cycle mode, the pipeline will recycle the pixel value back into the pipeline for a second stage, which is used for 2 texture lookups per pixel and some other blending options. Otherwise, the RDP is always outputting 1 pixel per clock at 62.5 mhz. (Though it will be frequently interrupted because of ram contention) There are faster drawing modes but they are for drawing rectangles, not triangles. It's been a long time since I've done benchmarks on the pipeline though.

You're exactly right that the UMA plus high latency murders it. It really does. Enable zbuffer? Now the poor RDP is thrashing read modify writes and you only get 8 pixel chunks at a time. Span caching is minimal. Simply using zbuf will torpedo your effective full rate by 20 to 40 percent. That's why stuff I wrote for it avoided using the zbuffer whenever possible.

The other bandwidth hog was enable anti aliasing. AA processing happened in 2 places: first in the triangle drawing pipeline, for inside polygon edges. Secondly, in the VI when the framebuffer gets displayed, it will apply smoothing to the exterior polygon edges based on coverage information stored in the pixels extra bits.

On average, you get a roughly 15 to 20 percent fillrate boost by turning both those off. If you run only at lowres, it's a bit less since more of your tender time is occupied by triangle setup.
The obligation is to Bob jr. It doesn't matter how manipulative Alice is because your responsibility is to the kid. You don't get to have consent as to her bearing a kid because its her body and the violation implied by either giving you direct say or even indirect force to apply to her by forcing her to solely bear responsibility for your kid if she refuses to have an abortion is immoral evil and gross.

You can exercise absolute control by getting snipped. If that is too extreme you can keep it in your pants or insist on multiple concurrent methods of birth control.

The number of men who wish to opt out of responsibility is legion the number of weirdos who saved their dudes sperm to "inseminate" is microscopic.

The net average good of instituting the system you imagine is so far into the red its not off the page its off the continent.
Science has discovered that the age of 25 is when neuroplasticity starts to decline. So what? There's a lot of argumentation needed to link that physical threshold with legal restriction.

It seems like you're arguing that people shouldn't fully participate in society until they start losing their ability to learn. Have you met people who've lived overly sheltered lives until the age of 25? Their tolerance towards risk is low. Their ability to adapt to new experiences is busted. Forcing that on a society wide scale would be nuts.

The science does throw in a lot of complexity between the social ideas of freedom and the physical effects of alcohol. But have you met 18 year olds? They're drinking.

> I'll listen to the saddest stuff I can find

This is one of the reasons I think this space is hard. You kind of want music that (step 1) first resonates with your current mood, and (step 2) then maybe takes you on a journey toward a better mood. And what journey you want depends on a bunch of factors. Am I just feeling blue, then maybe I eventually want to be cheered up. Am I mourning the recent loss of a loved one, then I'm going to be sad for the next N weeks or months, and I just want to be able to handle that in a healthy way.

step 1 and 2 together are maybe easier for books, because a story can start off sad and you can take an uplifting journey with the characters. But it's a little harder for music, because a song typically has one mood. Maybe you can find an album with an emotional arc, but I think practically you'd need to generate a playlist with songs that match at the boundary and overall create a trajectory.

But that's something you can only do when you know what the trajectory is in the first place, which is hard (as I mentioned above).

The crimes the US charged occurred in the United States, and the DOJ alleges Assange's role was central to them. It's the same idea as charging the head of an organized crime family overseas with the racketeering offenses the family committed in New Jersey.

If the DOJ cannot prove that Assange's role was fundamental to enabling the offenses, and Assange can prove instead that he merely published information that could have become available to anyone, the case as I understand it fails.

Your blind spot¹ is having preconceived of a negative reason for why people have a certain opinion and then judging them for the thing you disagree with in your head instead of their real reason.

It’s the same rhetoric applied by the cryptocurrency shills who can’t get past the notion that people who are opposed to cryptocurrencies do it exclusively because they “missed their chance”. Those people are utterly incapable of (and utterly uninterested in) understanding another human being. The notion that not every person in the world is a greedy bastard whose only interest in life is to get ahead at the expense of others is alien bananas to them.

Those AI discussions on HN are rife with reasonings both pro and against. Next time you see an argument against, really read the reason the person gave and try to understand why that different person has a different point of view. Ask a question if you need to. Don’t assume they have some hidden reason they’re not telling you.

¹ I suspect this has phenomenon has another name, but I don’t know what it is. It’s not a straw man because I don’t think you’re doing it on purpose.

>> "the standard library is where code goes to die"

I disagree.

It's more like the code has ascended (https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Ascension). It has won because it is useful enough and mature enough to accompany the language and serve everywhere.

Depending on what it does, standard library code may be used everywhere. For example, would you say that the Rust's Vec (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec/struct.Vec.html) is "dead"?

It can still get new features added. It will still get bug fixes. But its primary APIs are engraved in stone, never to change because it would break all the code that depends on it.

Granted, some code that goes into standard libraries will eventually fall out of use, or will be replaced by something better. In such cases, the code should be marked deprecated and eventually removed in a future edition of the language. In that case, it is like the code retires or could even be forked into a community-supported library in case it does still need to be used.
True. Or, they might shoot him out of a cannon. Or even nuke him.

The guy is in talks right now with the DOJ for a misdemeanor plea, a mercy termination of a prosecution in which the accused appears to have voluntarily served out the sentence pre-trial.

Cursorless is really cool, but we see the ideal computer-voice interaction a little differently.

Our approach is based around understanding intent from speech alone. We think this will be the ideal division of labor between man and machine going forward - let the person think and the machine fit it into the document/file/text. Over time we think this will reduce the number of commands you have to learn to use it to zero.

But our "command-less" approach isn't reliable for every use case yet - and as a fan of voice interfaces I am rooting for Cursorless - it's super sci-fi.
Ok this might sound stupid, and a bit unrelated, but you make so many great tools that I can't help but ask. How do you start planning and creating for a tool that needs to "follow standards"(in this case I know CSV is under specified but still!), is it by iteration or do you try to set and build a baseline for all the features a certain tool needs? Or do you just try to go for modularity from the get go even if the problem space is "smaller" for stuff like csv for example.

In the U.S. credit cards would still be superior to direct transfer services like they have in Europe.

If someone gets my Card and Pin I don’t get back that money; at least not easily. But if someone steals my credit card I get that money back immediately.

> Their experience is that if someone tells you that you will get a marshmallow later, that marshmallow will never arrive.

Precisely. And the problem is that experience does not map to reality in all situations. Thus Poor Brain. It leaves you physically unable to see the long term risk/benefit. Loan a friend $20, and Poor Brain will demand it be paid back over and over again, even if it's not crucial to their survival, even ruining the friendship over it. Rich brain never mentions it, and uses it indirectly as leverage in every possible situation, far outweighing the original value of the $20. Call it $10 or $1 or whatever is a trivial amount of money to even a poor person in your society. Having Rich Brain does not require you to not need the money, only that you understand how much more valuable not getting the money is. It's about understanding the value in your relationships with people and how that vastly outweighs your own skills/talents/ambition/resources.
> They are not legally allowed to strike, but they can just really slow things down.

Then fire them for performance? I also don't think a judge would be hoodwinked that easily. They aren't generally that stupid, and the law isn't generally that inflexible.

As terrible of an idea as it would be, I get a perverse sense of glee out of imagining replacing the police with the National Guard and then having them harass the FOP until they drop the inevitable lawsuits, like the FOP has done to many others. Terrible idea, but fantastic daydream.

> I don't feel democracy is really working, where the police are concerned.

This is going to be the police's downfall, though they appear to be too dense to realize it yet. The only difference between the police and a street gang is that the police are ostensibly directed by and accountable to the people. The whole monopoly on violence, except now the people are no longer the ones wielding that monopoly.

The system will respond with the only reaction it knows when faced with a perceived existential threat: massive, overwhelming force and the abandonment of core principles like innocent until proven guilty. Guilt will be presumed by association until the traditional systems feel in control again.

To be clear, I think that's a bad thing, and literally everyone would be better off if we didn't get there, but I don't see any indications of that happening this far. The citizens keep getting more pissed, and the police keep convincing themselves they're invulnerable.
