Each punch card was it's own line of text. By putting the final curly brace on it's own card, and hence line, it meant you could add lines to blocks without having to change the old last line. E.g. the following code meant you onl

That's because utf-8 was such an absolute mess in JS that adding an emoji in your code was a flex that it worked. Sane languages have much less of this problem but the damage was done by the cargo cultists. Much like how curly braces i

Just use Pillow and python. It is the only way to do real image work these days, and as a bonus LLMs suck a lot less at giving you nearly useful python code. The above is a bit of a lie as opencv has more capabilities, but unless you are de

Not in three months. It will take years if not decades. What happens when OpenAI and friends go bust because China is drowning in spare grid capacity and releasing sota open weights models like R1 every other week? Every company building in

Two days ago I talked to someone in water management about data centers. One of the big players wanted to build a center that consumed as much water as a medium town in semi arid bushland. A week before that it was a substation which would

After rereading the post I realize that the op was talking about the schema of the files rather than the adhoc nature of trying to decode escape characters. Ascii delimiters will not save you there.

by noosphr 1y ago
With the predefined ascii delimiters there is no difference between formats, because you can't choose anything but the dimiters ascii gives you.

by noosphr 1y ago
If we used ascii delimited values none of this would be a problem. The amount of effort spent on csv must be close to a million man years and all because we want to edit the files with a text editor without a special mode.

That's no different to on boarding any new contributor. I cringe at the code I put out when I was 18. On top of all that every open source project has a gray hair problem. Telling people excited about a new tech to never contribute mak

The iPhone was released nearly 20 years ago. This would be like someone in 2007 bragging that they aren't a Luddite because they bought windows 1.0 when it came out.

It was political violence when Trump was shot on stage too. I imagine that a lot of the political thuggarry we're seeing today is a direct result of him coming within an inch of having his brains blown out. No one comes that close to d

It's pretty amazing how much time you can save by being able to park in front of whatever you want to get into. Starting at the same point I've beaten cars that should have gotten there 20 minutes faster according to google maps.

Where I live in summer I regularly get days with UV index above 15. If you burn in 15 minutes under UV index 6 on the worst days that I've seen you'd burn in 5 minutes. So a SPF of 60 is as useful here like an SPF of 20 is whereve

The corollary to Moores law, that computers get twice as fast every 18 months, died by 2010. People who didn't live through the 80s, 90s and early 00s, where you'd get a computer ten times as fast every 5 years, can't imagine
