Is a 300MB CSV really considered "big data" now? I routinely generate larger CSVs using a $10 sensor (rtl-sdr with rtl_power) and process them on a $70 ARM device (Odroid U3).
The author addressed that in a comment over there:
The choice of filename was tongue-in-cheek. (The main thing is that it’s big enough to blow the stack with non-tail-recursive code, and to take a non-trivial amount of time to run.)
