Ideally someone saying e.g. "I'm experienced with asking the POSIX standards folks to consider adding the `num` command to POSIX, and I'll do a few hours of volunteering to help toward this goal". Or "I know how to

Great idea. If anyone here wants a microgrant and has POSIX distro skills, I can offer $100 to you or your favorite charity for help getting the `num` command added to the POSIX standard track so it becomes freely available for everyone. N

Nice: ACID guarantees; 75% of the throughput of the non-transactional key-value store it builds upon; linear scaling; conflict retries. Worth trying IMHO.

IMHO teams works best when they choose their own key performance indicators, and match these up with the real-world success of the team's users, customers, and stakeholders. These kinds of metrics can involve people (e.g. add a feature

USV has no escaping on purpose because it's simpler and faster. USV is for the 99.999% of cases that don't embed USV Control Picture characters in the content. If you need escaping, then I can suggest you consider USVX which is U

Ben this is great, thank you. Would you consider adding Unicode Separated Values (USV)? https://github.com/sixarm/usv USV is like CSV and simpler because of no escaping and no quoting. I can donate $50 to you or your c

The best estimation tactic I've found in practice is ROPE, which works because it helps different kinds of stakeholders understand different kinds of estimates and ranges. R = Realistic estimate. Based on work being typical, reasonable

I hear you. The feedback from this post and other testers is approximately evenly split. Some people like the simplicity, some people want/need extras especially whitespace trim, backspace escape, and final newline. What's your op
494.
by jph 4y ago
Yes you're right. For special character escaping like your blog post idea, have you seen Unicode Separated Values Extensions (USVX)? It's USV plus extras for backslash escape, whitespace trim, etc. These use a smarter parser.

Great idea. I'll pledge $50 as a token of thanks and encouragement for any open source developer who can add USV to a popular language or tool such as R, Julia, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, TextQL, Q, JavaScript, Python, etc.

No-escape makes serialization and deserialization simpler, faster, and easier to test. For example, import/export is a breeze on the command line with typical Unix tools such as awk, sed, grep, mlr. No-escape makes international standa

You're right, Miller is great for this, and it turns out that Miller already offers Unicode Separated Values (USV).

Yes you're correct, the GitHub language bot failed. It created a bunch of incorrect changes and pull requests that repo teams rejected. It caused many complaints to the author and to me. The author disabled it a few hours later.

It's a write-up done after the end of the problem, that aims to address some of the questions that people asked. Some teams use other terms such as after-actions, or post-incidents, or retro-reports, etc.
