Does anyone know which of the Japanese characters is commonly used for the character Rei Ayanami? I know anime names tend to be chosen to convey extra meanings, would be interested to know what GAINAX/Anno intended.
No offense, but you've obviously not even given a cursory glance at the link, yet pretended to do so by calling it "neat" and immediately promoted your own unrelated link. Please don't do this.
There actually was a similar tool to this on the front page of HN yesterday - I think the commenter probably had multiple tabs open and accidentally added their comment to the wrong thread.
I like it, thanks for building it! So far I've used csvkit (https://csvkit.readthedocs.org/en/0.9.1/), which is quite powerful. Can `rei` also parse the header row of CSV files to automatically assign names to columns?
I'll just mention fsql[1] here as my favorite of the multiple programs available to query and manipulate different data formats. While more complex, as it requires SQL, that's also the reason I like it. In all the cases where I've had moderately sized lists of items and was tempted to stick them into a DB, fsql makes the job easier.
I want to check out rei though, as it looks like for some common tasks it could be much easier to use. It might make a good addition to my toolkit for the simpler cases.
I hadn't heard of fsql, but I did recently find q[1]. If anyone has experience with both, I'd be interested to hear if one does its job better than the other.
