jq is honestly one of my favorite tools ever. Super powerful yet simple. I've written some relatively complex programs with it, e.g. this one [1] I just wrote to manipulate the output from neuron [2] to generate index files based on ta

When I edit graphviz, I usually watch my source file(s) with reflex [1] to re-generate the output image, and use an image viewer with auto-reloading support like sxiv [2]. Works really well for me! 1: https://github.com/cesp

I’m specifically asking about Go+ (not Go) “having” shebang support in that you can legally use the standard #! shebang. Yes, the kernel handles the shebang, but if the shebang target doesn’t ignore the line and errors then that’s where the

I love the idea of main-less Go scripts for times where you just want to do something simple, fast. Neugram [1] aimed to make Go a better scripting tool, but unfortunately it seems the project is dead. Although Go+ says its focus is on data

This definitely seems like the right solution. I wonder, did the EU even attempt to collaborate with web standards organizations and browser makers while crafting GDPR?

Before I got into programming as a teenager, GIMP was one of the first "advanced" pieces of software I really dove into. I learned so much just messing around, creating wallpapers, editing screenshots from games, making photo-mani

I think Drew is referring to composition in terms of API end-user code, not sr.ht code, e.g. making it possible for the user write a single GQL query that combines data from multiple sr.ht services.

I'm surprised and disappointed that the IA ever thought this would go over well, though I do respect the reasons for which they took these actions. Circumstances around the COVID-19 lockdowns have been very unusual. If you consider the

Very cool. This seems very useful for lightweight UIs that need a small amount of interactivity, but not enough that a more heavyweight framework like React would make sense. Am I on the right track?

The biggest thing I miss from most search engines is first-class support for special characters. I usually resort to spelling out the symbols I’m looking for (“shebang bin env versus bin bash”) but often people who ask questions or post iss

It makes sense to me that DNA is like a config file, while the molecules mentioned in the article are source code, the ‘sensors’ are like a makefile, and the cellular machinery that does the work of reproduction is like the compiler. You ne

When I first found out about mosh, I imagined it would work seamlessly even with servers that don’t have the mosh server installed by auto-installing itself. If mosh could do this, I would `alias ssh=mosh` and use it all the time. Otherwise
