What a fantastic idea! I have so many half baked things that some idiot (me) built without documenting the underlying API. This will make life so much easier

Yeah I was very impressed with the Bloom filter as well. I didn't mean it as a criticism, I was just interested

This is an interesting project. It looks like a wrapper around an API allows you to send a (md5/sha1) hash and it'll return information that it has about the file, including sources that have that file. I've run in to a simil

Wow that was incredibly satisfying to watch! The flipping sound made it all the better

I enjoy your hot take on Rust, but now I want to hear about what you've seen

Ah thankyou I was looking on his page and could only see Spotify/Apple Podcasts

Can I recommend a podcast called 'Stuff the British Stole' by Marc Fenell (aka 'That Movie ... Guy'). It looks at exactly this, including situations where an artefact only exists _because_ it was stolen. http:/&#x2

Other comments have mentioned _how_, I figured I'd mention a couple of scenarios that this could create. Programs that fork/exec will typically close all their open file descriptors, so if a close fails (like an EINTR) it's p

I don't think I would have the self confidence to sit there quietly thinking.

Thankyou!

I believe it doesn't vacuum by default so you can potentially reduce the size back down again by running vacuum. I believe it is slow but I've never used it

Do you have a recipe you can recommend? I'd love to try making some fresh

I honestly eats most people's "big data" for breakfast. Combined with datasette for turning your ad-hoc queries an api of sorts it's like a superpower.

Oh fantastic thankyou! And thank you for jless! I was running 0.7.1 rather than 0.8.0, so will upgrade now Edit: Works great!

You career will be decades long, and you're in an industry that pays pretty well. Short term ups and downs are much less important than the general trajectory. Some people take years off to have kids, other (me) took 5+ years just bein

I've generally found it a bit hard to get an initial query going, but then it is as fast as anything I've thrown at it. Generally something else (probably my code) falls over before I even notice jq's impact.
619.
by anitil 4y ago
I use jless to manually find what I'm looking for and then using the result as a starting point. Unfortunately I don't know how to get that query in to the paste buffer yet so there's a manual step in the middle
620.
by anitil 4y ago
Do you know a way to copy the current selection in jless to the paste buffer? I find myself narrowing down a query for jq using jless but then having to manually remember the query to then jump to my terminal.

That's a really interesting suggestion, similar to how AWK uses $0, $1 etc.

Where can I sign up?

Maybe you could add that the where condition needs the name of the authorising user? Start with "WHERE stmt AND AUTHORIZED_BY='Anitil'" then strip the AUTHORIZED_BY. If they're smart enough to do "WHERE 1=1&quo

This would be so useful to me right now. So often I'm flying blind making edits and just praying I don't ruin someone else's day

Interesting. Out of interest, what would an SQL-aware proxy give you? On-the-fly rewrites? Automatic caching?
626.
by anitil 4y ago
That is a fantastic use case! I'd have never have thought of doing this
627.

I'd be interested to hear people's use cases for parsing SQL. The link talks about exploring sql history, but has anyone else got some interesting uses? A couple of times where I've needed to parse SQL I would typically write

I started in C and generally when people say 'rewrite it in Rust' I just roll my eyes, because I know how hard that is. But seeing it happen on a sophisticated project has made me take another look. Obviously for the embedded worl

This is the first time I've felt that Rust is starting to eat C's lunch.

I use datasette almost daily (thanks simonw!) for ad-hoc queries and for validataion. Often I'll have two APIs from different systems, which I may or may not have access to directly. Typically I'll need to denormalise the data and
