Not sure how you'd do this from Python, but you can fire up sqlite3 from the command line and run .mode csv .import filename.csv table_name On my 2-year old Windows laptop (i7, lenovo x1) importing a 2M rows 1.4GB file tak

Maven just hides the complexity in its plugins which are implemented in Java. If you don't need any plugin - then, yes, it's simple. But once you need specialized plugins it's no better than gradle/bazel. The latter two

Logs are usually more detailed. So while you get error events (and perhaps other interesting events) aggregated in Sentry and similar tools -- when you actually want to understand the failure, logs can help you understand the reason for the

It was but then deteriorated into a big patent war with every company trying to shove its proprietary patents into the next cellular standard. So while everyone can implement the standard, very few can do this profitably (In practice, Qualc

Except that cultures change over time. And, typically, when cultures evolve they tend to promote less children. For example, population growth in India is declining as the economic situation is improving (source: https://dataco

With time, client-side TLS tickets will become more common and session resumption means you won't always be able to see the SNI.

One advantage of using multiple files is that you can have functions that are private to the file (static functions). So when looking at a specific file you know it can use either functions in this specific file or functions #include-d from

There was a post here a few weeks ago reminding us of the dangers of this approach. I don't have the link but the essence is here: After a process gets automated, people forget the details of how to do the work manually. Now, when the

The funny thing here is that this is no small startup with limited resources. Microsoft can have dedicated teams for each platform (perhaps Linux is not as important but certainly for Windows, macOS, android and iOS)

Office-Politics-Sim. Along with an ML training pipeline where you can train the figures in the sim to behave similarly to certain people in the office and a prediction phase where you can ask "what if"-s type of questions :)

That's the most difficult part for me. We need more than a schedule - we need instructions how to modify the schedule and perhaps ingredients based on what we get. The "Quarantine bread" receipt was wonderful last week. This

I am not a pilot, but it seems like MFD (multi-function displays, a sort of touch screen with touch points at the edge of the screen) are very common even in fighter planes. Yes, the basic controls do not change. But more advanced functiona

How is the file system performance in WSL? I'm stuck on WSL1 (IT managed OS upgrades) and file access performance is much slower than native windows. So sometimes I give up on my favorite command line tools and switch to "CMD&quot

Actually, that's something that seems inspired by Plan 9 with its /net/tcp/xxx files. Bash just tries to make it cross platform so it cannot rely on the host OS like rc does.

It gets more difficult when you deal with aggregated traffic in the 10s or 100s of Gbps. But yes, it is possible. One thing is though - TLS1.3 is getting more popular and so is session resumption. So even now quite a bit of traffic cannot b

Have you looked into Zig ( https://ziglang.org/ )? It's a little more than what you've asked since it does support compile time generics. But is specifically targeted at removing undefined behavior and improving saf

I'm sure Shopify has way more than 3 developers working on their mobile apps. They can certainly afford to have separate teams doing web, iOS and Android development and optimize for each environment.

You do realize that multiple domains may be hiding behind the same IP address? This is very common with CDNs (although the bigger players can afford a static CDN IP, I guess)
