Thanks for your answer, I only have two devices connected so my problem must be caused by an unrelated mistake. I'll find out eventually :).

Do you have more details on the Firefox problem? I have a WebRTC project that is currently in standby (priorities changed) and one issue that I have not been able to troubleshoot was an inability to send audio from Firefox while it somehow worked on Chrome.

Miller (mlr) is now my goto tool for csv/tsv manipulation. I've used it from time to time during the past year and it's been a joy to use. I must admit that I did not try any other tool for the purpose so I don't know how it compares.

It has a nice verb system, verbs can be combined with "then" statements : https://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/reference-verbs.html . There is also a small DSL to use with the "put" and "filter" verbs: https://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/reference-dsl.html . Another verb I find very useful is "join", which does pretty much what you would expect it to do.

Re:Ask HN: Has anyone had luck using the Wikipedia data dumps? on Saturday March 16, 2019 @07:07AM (#19407262)

I've had some success using this tutorial: https://www.kdnuggets.com/2017/11/building-wikipedia-text-co... .

And I've changed it a little bit to extract only the first n characters, this might be of some use since wikipedia dump are supposed to be pretty large: https://github.com/mooss/ruskea/blob/master/make_wiki_corpus... .

I did an internship last year which consisted in writing unit tests for a raytracing library that was among other things - I was told - used to determine if buildings were on paper getting enough sunlight according to european standards.

I'm not sure whether they were talking about EU regulations or about the regulations of specific european countries.

Edit: typos

I don't know how it compares to xsv, but you might be interested in Miller/mlr (http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/index.html), I've used it because csvkit was too slow for what I needed to do and was pleasantly surprised by its features.

I see. I kinda mixed up poetry and beauty.

That's funny because I am a native French speaker and I find German to be a very pleasing language to speak out loud. The sonorities are oddly satisfying to me.

Please note that I am nowhere near fluent in German. It just feels great, especially the way words can agglutinate to form comically long words, while still transporting meaning.
