  • parquet is cloesely tied to the apache foundation, because it was designed as a storage format for hadoop.

    But many data processing libraries offer interfaces to handle parquet files so you can use it outside of the hadoop eco system.

    It’s really good for archiving data, because the format can store a lot of data with relatively low disk space, while still providing ok read performance because often times you won’t need to read the whole file due to how they are structured, where csv files would be a lot of plaintext taking up more diskspace.












  • fixed lens cameras are a relatively niche thing nowerdays, despite the hype around thr fuji x100vi and the rico gr3.

    i’d look for a micro-four-thirds camera like the om system om5/olympus e5. The micro-four-thirds sensors are very good, despite being smaller, the system offers a ton of good glass that tends to be lighter and smaller than aps-c or fullframe equivalents, so very backpackable.
