It handles files being passed on the command line too. Your particular usage might only take a minute, but to make it play nice with other expected CLI usages, takes more thought (and you will probably forget something).

That is a fascinating idea, and I think it would work for anything except a primary residence. (How can you tax "I'm 83 and will only leave in a coffin?") For everything else, particularly investment or rental properties, it

I do remember those, and iirc it almost sank the company. In fact I think that it absolutely impacted Twitter negatively, because the way they got through it was with massive investment in engineering funded by venture capital. So now Twi

Would you rather have a well-designed flop, or a poorly-designed hit that you can't scale fast enough? Remember Friendster from 2003? It's quite possible that it would have not lost to Tribe/Myspace/Facebook if it didn&

How is USV better than ASV, which would use U+001E and U+001F? Also, is your offer available for other tabular data tools? :)

Fair enough, I've experienced those pains myself. But what is the strategy with UXY? kind of a semi-fixed-width format that is only partially aligned, but still requires quoting/escaping? I'm not sure it's any better

Very cool, I've had a similar idea myself recently! Though, why not go with a simpler format like TSV (tab-separated values)? Then you don't have to worry about quoting and escaping anything but tabs and newlines (which are very

As a kid, I loved playing Alleycat (1983). I had no idea he was 23 years old when he made it!

I had a similar situation and also felt like I was getting the short end of the stick sometimes; I was working harder during those 4 days than I was when I was working 5 days. But 3-day weekends every week are so amazing. It's like t

TV was not recorded on film. Older TV looks different than older film, for this reason.

Okay, so let's be optimistic and say a team of 4 can do in 12 weeks what that one dev could do in 4 weeks. 48 dev-weeks vs 4 dev-weeks. Do you think it's reasonable for a project to cost 10x as much just for that precious consis

And then you can just #define assert(...) to eliminate it...oh wait, Go doesn't have a macro-preprocessor.

Those are fair critiques. I brought up his age as evidence that it was not simply the arrogance of youth; if it were, education and exposure to a wider world would be the proper prescription. But his blank stare after I gave him a keyword

Over the course of 20 years, you will have modest years that seem pretty reasonable, and you will have ridiculous years that tip the whole balance negative. My partner had been renting her house out for about 5 years with the usual annoyanc
