I'd give it maybe a day and a half before `hq` makes its way onto the front page. No guesses which language the `h` stands for :)

Suppose you write a shell script which is intended for use among colleagues as part of a pipeline. In many cases, the most appropriate and useful tool for the job would be jq - one line in the shell script corresponding to the required data

Well done, seems like a cool project! A couple of comments right out of the gate on the UX/UI: - Why is the place where you create and browse projects called the "package manager"? I opened that expecting to find plug-ins or

The position of web3 is that we should be using "chairs" to run websites. The infrastructure of crypto is blatantly inappropriate for the domains people are trying to apply it to. Which leaves open the question, why are they pus

The OP doesn't say complain to crypto users. It says that we need to inform the general public so that they are immunised against the draw of these schemes.

Sure, but there's a meaningful difference between "left leaning" and "left biased", is there not? It seems entirely possible for a person sympathetic to the left to create content which is unbiased, or even biased i
