In this case, it was not used in a jocular way. It was a British person demonstrating their complete and utter ignorance of the only country they share a land border with, and I will call them out on that any day of the week.

No, I'm saying that it's associated with a certain outdated and bigoted attitude toward the Irish. Using Éire in English, would be seen as odd. You wouldn't say Deutschland or Danmark. > If I change the rest of the sentenc

> Eire A nitpick, because it's often a dogwhistle: but almost nobody in Ireland calls it that when speaking English. And that's still incorrect in Irish, the correct spelling is Éire.

You can own multiple guns and store them at your residence in Denmark. I know a couple of people who do so, admittedly both ex-military. This isn't limited to shotguns or bolt action rifles for hunting. You can own up to six handguns.

Umm, yes? My contact information is attached to the business names I trade under? Which is publicly available information. Is this an alien concept to you?

Yes... if you want to do business with people, then those people want to know who they do business with. What a fucking tragedy. I'm sorry you have to live in such a socialist hellscape.

On a similar note: There was a period post-Brexit when I hadn't moved away from Ireland yet during which I also did my best to avoid UK produced goods too. Now that was a lot harder though due to the UK still being in the single mark

Actually, it's not. Speaking from experience. I'm a sample size of one, but that's still one better than your extrapolation from zero. One of the local supermarket chains here in Denmark (Salling Group) even puts a star on th

It doesn't have local hidden variables. That's an important distinction. I'm not sure a non-local hidden variable explanation of QM is any distinct from superdeterminism though.

It was far from exactly like that. GR was in part prompted by the precession of the perihelion of mercury for which there was plenty of data.

Apologies, and noted. I wasn't my usual self, which is honestly what prompted me to give in to replying to them. I usually try to do better, and will do in future.

The fact that both our comments are being downvoted is dumb. Over the last year, the vibe on site has become... concerning. Yeah, it's always leaned right wing capitalist. That's fine by itself—I like the contrast to my own views

This isn't an example of that. You claimed something in your initial comment. You did not back it up. I'm asking you to back up your initial claim. If you had addressed it you'd have a point, and that would be a correct exam

Fair, but for a once-off thing performance isn't usually a major factor. The comment I was replying to implied this was something more regular. EDIT: why is this being downvoted? I didn't think I was rude. The person I responded t

So what's the use case for keeping them in that format rather than something more easily indexed and queryable? I'd probably just shove it all into Postgres, but even a multi terabyte SQLite database seems more reasonable.

Now I'm really curious. What field are you in that ndjson files of that size are common? I'm sure there are reasons against switching to something more efficient–we've all been there–I'm just surprised.
