It's even the small things. Due to reasons outside this skeet, I have a list of JSON files with a {data: {....}} structure. I can just do this and voilà, columns.
A screen capture of the command used for putting all json files in a folder into a single parquet file. It has bash syntax and opens duckdb with the following content as standard input: CREATE TABLE telemetry_data AS SELECT unnest(data, recursive := true) FROM read_json('*.json'); After a semicolon, on a separate line COPY telemetry_data TO 'telemetry_data.parquet';

Well, it’s kind of in its Wikipedia definition.
Capture of the first paragraphs of the Wikipedia article on Embedded software. Reads the following. Embedded software is computer software, written to control machines or devices that are not typically thought of as computers, commonly known as embedded systems. It is typically specialized for the particular hardware that it runs on and has time and memory constraints. This term is sometimes used interchangeably with firmware.

I just saw this on Iliza's Instagram profile. And the whole post is filled with strawman arguments and deception, but this argument in particular strikes me the most. Because these people CALL THEMSELVES SETTLERS on the west bank occupied territories.
A screen capture saying: I want people to open their eyes that if Jews are colonizers... Where are our colonies? No one cares about mass graves in Sryia? Then more text follows.

Esta es la clase de parada que me suelo encontrar. Lo que me fastidia a mi es tener 283918 apps diferentes para no acabar pagando 0,9€/kWh (te miro a ti, Iberdrola).

The original is below. I mean they are actually tripping!

On the MacBook Pro 14 line, the M1 Pro (October 2021) was 271kg compared to 218kg for the recent M4 (October 2024). It seems some product lines still see actual numbers improvement, but the new PDF format in the Apple environment page use numbers which may not mean what you think they do.
Foot note, reads: Carbon reductions are calculated against a product-specific business-as-usual scenario as modeled by Apple: 1) No use of clean electricity for manufacturing or product use, beyond what is already available on the latest modeled grid (based on regional emissions factors). 2) Apple’s carbon intensity of key materials as of 2015 (our baseline year for our 2030 product carbon neutrality goal). Carbon intensity of materials reflects use of recycled content and production technology. 3) Apple’s average mix of transportation modes (air, rail, ocean, ground) by product line across three years (fiscal years 2017 to 2019) to best capture the baseline transportation emissions of our products.

Screenshot of Down Dog yoga app stating: challenge check in! You are in week four! You’ve made it today 22 which puts you in the top 14% of challenge participants! There were 14,300 challengers this week who used multiple apps to practice! Love that variety! So far in November, Challenger have completed 350,000 hours of fitness! You’re almost there, just 9 practices to go!

And the answer is: both! This is awesome. Even if we change handles, the mentions should not be broken! This is quite awesome, because it can survive even us renewing domain names (and people eventually dying), so it's a really forever-archiveable format.
A screenshot of the atproto record in the replied skeet. The following text is a partial description of the JSON dictionary inside the AT protocol record. It contains the text "This is an atproto test mentioning @piratesoftware.live sorry for the spam, but I wanted to check if the mention in the protocol uses the DID or the domain name :)" with type "post" but inside it also contains the facets of richText including that in the text position within piratesoftware.like that it is a link to a decentralized identity. The link is of type "app.bsky.richtext.facet#mention" and it features the did "did:plc:7uatvpqav6mge25oearb77w7"

Another #Sunset on the Bluesky, seems appropriate.
