I didn't know that and my Google fu is lacking, does anyone have a resource I could read to understand that limitation?


I think the fundamental issue is that a single 'cell' (value) can contain newlines, so you can't just assume each line is a 'row' and trivially parallelize.

The problem is perhaps most obvious when you consider that the value of a single cell could itself be a CSV, and this could be recursive


I haven’t worked out if the BNF is unambiguous (RFC 4180) but if you have a CSV in a cell you would escape any ambiguous characters.

An unescaped cell within a CSV will break most CSV parsers in the world even with recursion handling.

Could be wrong, but isn't this the same Guide?


I think that's the point. They were talking about how many times it's been posted, so that's probably the best of those submissions.


whoops, best thread is what I was thinking.


> Having a high say-do ratio has always been important to me

You probably mean a "high do-say ratio"? That is, to complete as many things as you set out to do.

Great story though, it reminds me a bit of how the German language has individual words to describe specific intents and feelings. Of course the German equivalents are far more verbose!


I think the original context could be correct: if they say they will do something, they do it.


I know I’m being pedantic, but that would be a low ratio.

But I understand the point being made and my pedantry just a peculiarity of English meaning having a strong word order dependence than many other languages.


Just to throw another variable in there, the clause about the ratio is separated from the one about completing things, by the conjunction "but," indicating opposition. So it can be read as something like "I've always prioritized communication" (high say-do ratio, as written) "...BUT, I wanted to" (make a change and) "strategize seeing things through." Probably not what was meant, but plausible and one of the possibilities I considered when I noticed the thing you noticed!


That's actually interesting, because if they'd said low ratio, it would probably have confused people. I think it's math having the strong order dependence; when people say a high a to b ratio, they likely mean a 'good' ratio contextually instead of mathematically high.


Doesn't every language have words for feelings?

I mean, sure there's variations (e.g. not all languages have "saudade" or "schadenfreude") but it seems a pretty basic group of words.


It's "gesagt-getan" in German so it's a combination of two words in the order mentioned in TFA


I think the title should say "in French *Google docs." As is, it seems like French code documentation/papers are littered with emojis?


But it also occurs on Atlassian suite, Gitlab, Github and probably more tools…


It wasn't Kyrie, it was the Yankees. The opening came just before the start of the MLB season but well into the NBA season.


Rumor was Aaron Judge, the Yankee's biggest star, was unvaccinated. He personally sidestepped question about vaccine status and the team had publicly said a few (two?) players on a Yankees hadn't had their shots. Before opening day there were questions about if Judge would be able to play in New York.

The whole thing ended up being a mute point, because everyone on the starting roster[1] eventually got their shots so they could travel to Canada to play the Blue Jays.

[1] they later traded for an unvaccinated player

moot


Yeah, I also meant opening day roster, not starting roster. Can you tell I couldn't sleep last night?


3 digits? So up to $999/year? That sounds extremely low. In the US salaries are done per year, so a 6-figure salary is >=$100,000/year.

Do you mean as an hourly wage? That would be $200,000+/year and a 6-figure salary.


I imagine they mean three digits above the first set of zeroes.


Right, I meant 6 digits.

I think I meant "3 digits before the K".


Hourly would be $2,000,000+/year at that rate


> Reserved Instances are a major piece of AWS Billing, accounting for $100B in revenue along side Saving Plans (SPs).

I think I know what you mean, but this reads like Reserved Instances earn AWS $100 billion/year which is almost impossible. I don't even think AWS earns that much annually.


> I would not be surprised if Apple intent to use it as their PR later along with shit loads of submarine articles

What is a submarine article?


Basically a PR piece that looks like it was written by a journalist but was actually fed to the media to promote a product or political push.
