csv's are a horrible format. Tabs are superior in almost all use cases except that 0.00001% use case where someone has put a tab in their name.

ASCII values 0x1C through 0x1F: are we a joke to you?

I use 9 from this, and that's all I need! Though I am curious as to what a vertical tab looks like

Edit: oh wow it exists in python

Momentary flashback to when I put the bell in the command prompt format. Every time you pressed enter or a command finished, beep.

Couldn't get it to work on Linux though.

I still hear the damn chime when working on a Windows 11 PC terminal. Every damn time.

I cannot even imagine how that is useful on a terminal in the eighties

I don't get the joke.. ?

I am assuming there really is a standardized format that uses tabs? Or do you just see it as intuitive to replace the commas with tabs? I'm really curious. I haven't typically worked with huge datasets but when I've worked with exported/transitional data stored in files it is normally either a json or a csv (or a mysql export).

Bit of a joke related to bringing "what is TSV" to an "intense" TSV vs CSV debate.

As for TSV itself, it's a widely used standard from 32 years ago, and is often a default record delimiter when used with GNU/POSIX tools.

It mostly exists as legacy at this point, as people now prefer quoted values like those given in CSV (ver2) and JSON formats.

Ah, ok. Thanks for this response!

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Also most of (continental) Europe uses semi-colon delimiter, because comma is decimal separator.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 5 months ago

True!

Wow an actual unpopular opinion. They're always in the comments.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 5 months ago

wink!
