You can point DuckDB at a SQLite file and it will read it using its special columnar format. I'm not sure if that's what you need, though.

I'm reminded of the Archer scene where he explains irony (in the middle of a car chase / gunfight), and then Pam asks: > Oh. Okay, so then what's satire? > Nobody really knows!

That's right, I (GP) am not really afraid of them, I just find leeches and bloodsuckers quite unpleasant. A funny story: a few years ago I went canoeing up a small river with my younger cousin. There's not a lot of current because

The files are CSV-adjacent, I should say. The issue here isn't the delimiter in fact, it's the fact that the format differs slightly between files, even within the same project. That, and the mismatch with the SQL DB format I want

I relate more to the comment in GP's article: > If you’re a programmer, you might think that the fiddliness of programming is a special feature of programming, but really it’s that everything is fiddly, but you only notice the fiddl

This is very apparent in my work right now, as well as "all models are wrong, some models are useful". I'm parsing some "simple" CSVs into a DB, but I have to keep the concrete representation intact for another purp

I wonder if the opposite is a factor: like most traditional clothing, Amish clothing blocks most sunlight.

I first learned about La Paz and its even higher-elevation sibling city El Alto from this video [1] about their new cable car transportation network [1][2]. I then spent a few hours on Google Maps and Youtube looking at El Alto up close, wh

As of 2022 the Unicode Consortium will not accept proposals for any new flags. Moving forward, anything with an ISO 3166-1 code will automatically get a flag. The Iraq Kurdistan subdivision mentioned below has a 3166-2 subcode, so doesn&#x2

I've been researching text encoding a lot lately, and man is it complex. But so much less complex than text rendering!

It's also worth noting that the consortium is made up of members from big tech companies, among others: https://unicode.org/consortium/directors.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_Cons

I'm always interested in seeing how logographic writing systems solve issues with input, encoding, indexing, and the like. When I text my Japanese friends, we tend to use a lot of emoji and (in-app) stickers. I think emoji have such a

Hacker News will bias against emoji. Certainly there is a question of whether the consortium should keep adding emoji, which ones to add, whether emoji should be encoded in the first place, etc. For perspective, this update also brings 4316

For the first time in months, I'm occupied enough to not even think of Youtube, and when I look at it in the evening nothing appeals to me (the opposite). When I scroll on shorts, I just feel dissatisfied and close them. But generally,
