Comma Separated Values as a notation predates computers. Then CSV has been used as a computer file format at least since one of the Fortran variants added support in 1972.
The implementation has changed as filesystems evolve but the basic directory/file model of data storage and the associated tools ls/dir, cd, rm/del have been around a while.
lshas been known by that name since Multics in 1969, but can trace its lineage back tolistfon CTSS in 1961.Anything that predates copy/paste is doing alright.
Aren't those just standard door knobs? Like which others are there (besides maybe smarthome/electronic stuff, but that's not really widespread esp. for home use)?
Exactly, those two are pretty standard.options.
As far as door latches go the cross bar and draw bolts probably predate it by thousands of years but I don't use those regularly.
A "Smart" Lock on your home is going backwards on centuries worth of progress as far as your security is concerned.
At this point, it's so common knowledge that smart locks are so easy to pick/bypass/break into, quietly too, that I can't help but think they must attract thieves just cuz they look so wild and different and function so terribly.
CSV is honestly one of my preferred ways of stacking up data. It's so easily transferable between languages and systems. It's always human readable too! There are older tools that I work with that spit out "fixed-width" formats, but then go and fuck it up by not aligning the headers to the columns making parsing is a pain in the ass. CSV would be so much better.
