Exactly. I’ve seen so much data destroyed silently deep in some bioinformatics pipeline due to this that I’ve just become an anti CSV advocate.

Use literally anything else that doesn’t need out of band “I’m using this dialect” information that has to match to prevent data loss.

No:

• CSV isn’t good for anything unless you exactly specify the dialect. CSV is unstandardized, so you can’t parse arbitrary CSV files correctly.
• you don’t have to serialize tables to JSON in the “list of named records” format

Just user Zarr or so for array data. A table with more than 200 rows isn’t ”human readable” anyway.

I literally got banned from the “awfulsystems” Lemmy instance for suggesting that Firefox isn’t horrible. No exaggeration, there was nothing else to my comment than a polite suggestion that Firefox is pretty good actually.

If that ban isn’t driven by hate, I don’t want to see how real hate looks like.

This shows how unhinged the whole recent hate on Firefox is. Turning off GenAI is literally one single setting AND Mozilla is doing things infinitely better than others (e.g. the translation feature is completely local, and having a chatbot in the sidebar is opt-in)

Big if true
