This strongly typed language/database/fileformat is too restricting. I know! I'll create a strongly typed object that has one of every possible primitive data type along with a name that way I can store whatever the heck I want as just a list of these mystery objects!

Never run plain sort on a VCF. It scrambles the header, and ##fileformat has to stay on line 1.

One awk line prints the header untouched, then sorts the variants by chromosome (chr1 < chr2 < chr10) and position. For big files: bcftools sort.

Daily #vim / #neovim tip 3/31

:h ++opt

You can set options when running Vim commands like `:edit` or `:write`.

For example:
- Open a file in Unix format with `:e ++fileformat=unix`
- Automatically create missing parent directories when saving a file with `:w ++p`

Look into org mode, im sure it works with neovim as well. Its honestly the best fileformat for notetaking. Basically as powerful as python notebooks. And compatible (mostly) with markdown and github.

-- on file enter, set file […]

-- on file enter, set file format to unix
autocmd({"BufEnter", "BufWinEnter"}, {
pattern = {"*"},
callback = function()
vim.cmd("set modifiable")
vim.cmd("set fileformat=unix")
end,
}) […]

【メモ】KiCADのFileFormat
https://dev-docs.kicad.org/en/file-formats/
ついでなのでJavaScriptで適当にライブラリを出力するスクリプトでも作るかな…。
JSONで読み込んで適当に出力できればいいでしょ。
CSV→JSON→KiCAD Format(LISP)の流れができればいいかな。

hello @lorenzo2472.bsky.social, would you still like samples from the EOS R6 Mark III as indicated by the project description here: github.com/lclevy/canon...

I ask because the samples mentioned in the project folder are 7 years older. How do I send you a sample?
