Aside: The last time I had to scrape a lot of data from the web, I additionally used SQLite, which is a breeze to use with Python (basically one import statement and you're set). It might be overkill for some cases, but I found it a hu

These are great, but with some of them I cannot help but wonder why MSFT would choose not to include them in the OS by default. They seem fairly unobtrusive and like they wouldn't add too much complexity to the product in return for wh
