The past tense of “you snooze, you lose…” should be:
@alexthecamel @etirabys I think I'd sooner choose cheaper fetishes!
@alexgarciaxyz Brilliant, thanks! Also I guess since it's built on XSV, it'll use csv-index files if they are present? Though now I know what they are, I'm having trouble understanding why they're useful - they're not an "index" in the SQL sense...
@alexgarciaxyz So this doesn't just read CSV into a SQLite table - the CSV is read at query time, and re-read on each query? Totally makes sense if CSV is big and query is known - neat! Also any plans re open source license?
@alexgarciaxyz The link in the README that starts "See Introducing sqlite-loadable-rs" links to the wrong blog post I think!
@robpike For a moment there I thought you were getting your bandsaw advice from Sam Bankman-Fried.
@JosephMenn Loder didn't really celebrate unlawful violence? It does seem odd to leave that out. I'm a Post subscriber fwiw.
@JosephMenn What do you make of what Ngô says?

Taking an Uber ride? $199.99!
Need something from Walgreens? $199.99!
Want some office supplies from Walmart? $199.99!
A night at the W Hotel in South Beach? You guessed it -- $199.99!
RT @lrozen@twitter.com
These Santos campaign expenses all coming to $199.99 seems kind of dodgy. From hotel rooms, to meals and Ubers, each item listed as costing $199.99. via @mrspanstreppon@twitter.com https://twitter.com/mrspanstreppon/status/1607781395010670595?s=21

Useful test: don't join a Mastodon instance that doesn't let you follow https://raspberrypi.social/@Raspberry_Pi - defederated by many instances because they hired a policeman who had used a Pi to do police work in the past, and were then unapologetic about it.

@sophieschmieg Mainly it's a good reminder that it's ridiculous to treat the name of a thing as the authority on what it is - cf also "antifa" or Democratic People's Republic of Korea
