My understanding: they're like pickle files, but for programs that use the arrow standard.

I'm interested in a good tool for converting csv to pq. Seems many encoding features are not supported by most.

Accuracy isn't binary. Not being perfect doesn't mean it is irrelevant. My map of the city could be more accurate but it still gets me where I need to go.

Spoken like a dev, not a user. Try using older hardware if you really want to understand the other side.

I think a US lawyer would charge about $200-300 for a formal letter. Could be enough to solve the issue.

All this advice isn't worth much when people will install any app that'll give a dollar discount on their favorite shop/restaurant.

Unless you work for government.

You mean if your memory can only hold a single large dataframe, polars won't work well?

Does the EU have similar legislation?

So you'd personally register at a stock exchange to avoid dealing with a broker?

At the very least you'd check their ID so the police has something to go on. And don't pay cash.

They are targeted, but the targeting is imprecise and occurs client-side to improve anonymity.

This reminds me of a weird phenomenon in my parents living room: Our Samsung TV would stutter and colors would distort when lighting the candles with a lighter (one of those long-neck trigger models). Never figured out why but I suspect an EM pulse was created with each trigger "click", which affected the cable signal.

Many db applications tack on a spreadsheet gui and a form input mode. See baserow, budibase, airtables, memento, etc. Some include fancier features like webhooks and ACLs.

My main rant is the lack of import/export standardization in this space.

I often load and process binary data with Matlab into spreadsheet format, because it supports so many file types.

Then process data frames in R or python. R for non-neural models and Python for GPU stuff. Visualizations also R.

Or wasabi

Doesn't MEGA do something similar? Don't know what OS support it has though.

Are you "stealing" if someone delivers their tv into your possession and never asks for it back?

Your awareness of their mistake doesn't obligate you to correct it, especially when the mistake is easily avoided and fixing is a non-trivial effort.

In the case of a business, I wouldn't be surprised if they count on exploiting that free labor in their cost projections.

The way I see it, Amazon accepted this risk of losses because they make more money by skipping additional QC checks.

If people stopped generously returning profits maybe they'd get their orders right more often?

Isn't copper unhealthy

Lucky you. In many places, if the supervisor doesn't like it they won't sign off on the submission. They treat it like a paper, by demanding that it contains positive findings (i.e. p-values < 0.05) and must have wide appeal in the field. So much for freedom.

for me it's having my game records accessible on the front page, I spend more time analyzing my games than playing.

I hate typing on mobiles, so wouldn't it be cool if the app could use the camera to look at the text and just tap to highlight/lookup a word?

Voice lookups might also be a good thing.

Don't people get their kids Lego to get them away from phones?

Step 1: build half of the bed. Step 2: build the other half.

You seem to be conflating reminiscence with reflection.

But not available to the general public :(

Their original firmware is open source? Or is custom firmware a hassle?

I'd argue appliances should be walled and computers shouldn't be.

I think the form factor is very relevant. A MacBook is treated like a computer. A phone is treated like an appliance.

Most phone/tablet users want the convenience of modular functionality without vetting the source. Said functionality should also be easy to discover and add/remove, hence app stores.

Whereas on a computer, app stores are ignored if they even exist. Most people install after doing their own Googling or seeing it run on another MacBook.

In my opinion phones intended for general purpose computing should have distinct marketing and different software-related features.

A good example is legally required "security guards" for every apartment building but not defining the tasks or qualifications for the position. As a result there is an elderly person sitting at a desk in every building lobby, watching TV. The govt doesn't need to support these people as their benefits cost has been offloaded onto apartment owners.
