Will OSS (public) repositories also have to pay if they use self-hosted GitHub runners ? If yes, that seems a bit counterintuitive, given that Github hosted runners are free for public repos.

Why would a public repo use a self-hosted runner ? because the self-hosted runner storage available is only 14GB !!

Github, thanks for making this service available free for public repos, it's a big boon. Currently the runner has only 14GB of disk space, if that can be made to 50 GB, that would be amazing !

Using parquet in python requires installing pyarrow and numpy, whereas CSV comes with stdlib.

Also, the csv has a very pythonic interface vis-a-vis parquet, in most cases if I can fit the file in memory I would go with CSV.

Microsoft YARP 4 years ago

Only available in .NET ecosystem, got excited after I read the title, but forgot Microsoft is Microsoft.

"YARP is a reverse proxy toolkit for building fast proxy servers in .NET using the infrastructure from ASP.NET and .NET."

Performance quote:

Compared to existing libraries like PyODBC, Arrow Flight is already as much as 20x faster (~00:21:00). Flight SQL will package these performance advantages into a standard interface, ready for clients and databases to implement.

Would be good to compare with more main stream ODBC/JDBC drivers, especially how it compares to the ones provided by the DBMS providers.

"The eqn program was created in 1974 by Brian Kernighan and Lorinda Cherry. It was implemented using yacc compiler-compiler.[1]" eqn Wikipedia.

Interesting to know that eqn pre-dates TeX, TeX was released in 1978
