I remember seeing an example of using zip to classify languages. You take a set of documents of equal size where you know the languages, then individually concatenate and zip them with the unknown text. The smallest compressed output is lik

I'm not sure if this is a subtly genius reference to their previous podcast called 'tldr', but if so, bravo. My primary take on it is that the local government was overwhelmed and out of their depth and their naivete was expl

I've been using and pitching datasette at my employer for a long time now. It's just so useful for so many ad-hoc tasks in my work.

One note that the article makes is that reading from S3 requires a full read of the file. As an alternate approach is to use HTTP range headers to read only part of a file and minimise how much data goes over the wire. I'm not sure if

I put together a demo of this for work where I pulled all our private repos and built an index, then used datasette as the front end. It was incredibly fast, so much so that I found it more useful than github search. The index is pretty out

What is the trend? Downwards in the sense of a few percent a year? Or a week?

It was more just for fun than anything else. I was more interested in the recursive descent parser so the tokenizer was just a step along the way. I've played with Antlr but never really vibed with it to be honest (and it was years ago

Amazing! I had just written a regex tokenizer in python the other day, this would have been great!

I believe there is a recent (optional) strict mode that will enforce types. I haven't used it so I don't know how full-featured it is. Your other points are of course correct

People argue this point a lot. As an example, Miranda rights are an affirmative requirement - that is legislating from the bench, but people like it so don't complain. I'd highly recommend a podcast called 'Five Four' wh

I don't know a lot about protocol buffers. What are the warts? I think they don't have a canonical format, is that one of them?

I worked on a web version of this (I was going to call 'Wooey' for 'Web-GUI'). I ended up abandoning it and I can't quite remember why

I remember a podcast where I believe a lady could smell Alzheimers (or possibly Dementia) years before it showed any symptoms. I have no idea how real it is, but the ethical dilemma is similar. She decided never to tell anyone if my memory

How did you get in to that work? I love this sort of optimization but not sure how to get people to pay me to do it full time.

I used to follow a blog (possibly retraction watch? I can't remember now) where they would go through basic biology papers and find photoshopped/edited images and ask the author about them. Sometimes this would lead to retractions

Any discussion about borders is fraught, and no matter what decision you make many people will be unhappy. I don't think it is useful to tie that to freedom

I did this for our organization using sqlite's FTS module and datasette and boy was it fast. Unfortunately I did get (temporarily) banned from the organisations github account, but it was definitely worth it. Even now I find myself usi

Does that fall within the scope of the core library? It looks like a bug in the CLI program (shell.c) rather than the sqlite lib.

I have run sqlite on a flash chip before (no filesystem, I suppose sqlite _was_ the filesystem) but I never took benchmarks. It was a 200MHz processor as well and it was basically fast enough out of the box that I never spent time on it. Fo

My understanding (from a poorly remembered Planet Money episode) is that this isn't a technical issue, it's a regulatory one. I'm not from the US and my memory is hazy so I don't know the details. Maybe this episode - h

In the embedded world the specifics often outweigh the general. Specifics like - what storage are you using? What clock does it run at? What page size are you using (you'd want to pass this to sqlite for best results)? What locks are y

I did a histogram-type thing in the same way by using a window function (similarly sqlite table scraped off pcap recordings). I can't remember if it was a fixed-width window (number of samples) or within some time window Dropped it in

Lovely product, I have two questions about the copy The first is it says "until you don't stop it" - should this be "until you stop it"? The second is that it refers to 'execute' and 'scripts' bu
