I honestly don't know what's worse; That this package exists, or that the implementation requires a dependency to `is-odd` and just does `return !isOdd(number)`

The mind-blowing thing is that electrons, as far as I understand it, don't actually flow through wires at all. If they did AC power would be pointless

The only real issue with Parquet, if you think a column based file format is the right fit for you (which it may not be) is that it was written to work on HDFS, and the specifics for block storage on HDFS. A lot of the benefits of Parquet are lost when you use it on other file systems.

The real benefit of TW comes from the configuration. You never need to put actual values into your class names like you would with inline styles. For example, let's say you have a specific background color. You define it in the TW configuration, and TW generates a specific class for that color. So, instead of doing `style: background-color: "#123456"` a thousand times, you do `class="bg-my-color"`, and if you want to change what `bg-color` is you just change it in one place.
