This isn't some sort of philosophy debate that you're trying to make it out to be. The output of a lot of tools quite simply isn't in a machine-friendly format, and it can be a nightmare to try to write a parser for them yourselves.

You are misinterpreting the Unix philosophy. It's fine to use a bunch of sed, awk, grep, etc. when you're either transforming text or processing already well-structured data. But trying to write a full-fledged parser for something with only human-readable output, especially as a shell script, definitely goes against that philosophy. Congratulations, you've managed to piece together 50 commands in a pipeline and create a monstrosity that's far from the minimalist philosophy.

In fact, I would argue that by using `jc` together with `jq` you can actually create some nice pipelines for parsing the data that will be much more in line with the Unix philosophy.

Nobody ever said this was designed to improve performance, but I have a hard time believing your claims about it being significantly slower which is not backed up by any source. Most likely, eliminating the JSON conversion would be at most an unnecessary micro-optimization. But if your code was truly performance-critical, you wouldn't be piecing it together with shell pipelines that cause a bunch of unnecessary forks, you'd write it in something like C instead.

And the "JSON was designed for the web browser" argument doesn't hold much water either. You're about several decades too late for that, JSON is extremely ubuquitous and used in a lot of non-browser contexts. Sure, some people depending on their needs may use other formats like XML or protobuf, but JSON is still very common.
Do you put think that putting acid into the wounds of a sentient organism is cruel? Then we must jail anybody using vinegar in their lattice also. Plants are sentient organisms!.

How does it feel if we take the previous attempt of emotional manipulation and substitute that for this?

"If you’re tilting it from a container into the steaming kettle, the cabbage will sometimes jump trying to escape its destine or even to hook its leaves over the kettle’s rim like a children trying to keep from going over the edge of a roof with a fluffy kitten in their broken right arm. And worse is when the cabbage is fully immersed. As a Guantanamo prisoner cabbages aren't aquatic plants and can't breath under the water!. Even if you cover the kettle and turn away to not smell its fear, you can usually hear the cover rattling and clanking as the dismembered cabbage dies slowly with a sad why? why?. The brassicacea, in other words, behaves very much as you or I would behave if we were a cabbage disfigured after a thousand years of culture and plunged into boiling water after being chopped in a thousand parts (with the obvious exception of not screaming)."
Thank you for running this subreddit. I lurked it quite a bit early on in my diagnosis and it was a tremendous resource. If nothing else, felt a little bit less alone and made the path ahead seem slightly less scary/uncertain. Thank you again!

Starch is the only sugar the immune system doesn't attack.
CD is definitively associated with the occidental modern way of life 3. If the cold chain hypothesis is valid, the emergence of CD must be parallel to the development of industrial and domestic refrigeration. Figure 1A compares the annual incidence of the disease and the household equipment rate in several countries. There is a temporal correlation between these variables. It should be noted, however, that in a given country the disease begins to be detectable not at the time when refrigerators begin to be sold, but only when about 50% of households are equipped. This observation is counter-intuitive.

It's an interesting hypothesis and I like the thinking. We need more of this kind of investigation.

The problem I see is that refrigeration should reduce the incidence of food poisoning and malnutrition generally and generally improve survivability of vulnerable populations. So one possibility is that people who used to die mysteriously in early childhood are now living long enough to be diagnosed with various ailments.

In other words, maybe modern life does cause Crohn's or maybe it just lets such people survive and get diagnosed and learn to live with their condition.
Singlehandedly? Of course not. But two years ago, they owned more than 50% of the holiday shopping [1]. It's fair to assume that the percentage has grown over time and especially this year given the supply chain issues that have affected their competitors more than Amazon.

> With a 30M gas limit one could think this is still nothing to worry about, but the more precisely the simulation logic is implemented (including edge case handling, etc), the more operations like those listed above are needed, making it very likely that with a long game, the limit is breached.

I’m not sure how much efficiency was gained rewriting with bitwise operators, but the 30M gwei game would be very expensive: $125 USD for a single game of snake at current gas prices.
Others have provided good advice about medicinal management. I know from my own personal experience with a close relation.

What I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the FODMAPS diet to control symptoms [0]. This is a diet specifically designed by Monash University, an Australian research institution, to treat IBS and IBD flare ups about one decade ago. It is based from modern science, it is easy to follow (you can run online searches for specific ingredients if you forget), and it allows for quantitative measurements. FODMAPS stands for fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols, which are types of carbohydrates that aren’t absorbed well by parts of the GI tract. Another comment mentioned The Specific Carb Diet, but that is outdated and will needlessly restrict your diet and freedom. For example, grains are ok: it’s the soybean oil used in cheap bread that isn’t.

The person I’m close to with Crohn’s enjoys a life unencumbered by their disease. They take their medicine once every two months and they eat out at restaurants or at other people’s homes without a second thought. They eat dairy products, which are not immediately FODMAPS friendly, but avoid garlic, onion, and broccoli. They know they can eat green beans, but not pinto beans. Because of the modern research that underpins FODMAPS, they know they can use garlic oil to get the same flavor but without any of the FODMAP carbs. But, because they follow the diet most of the time, they can occasionally “cheat”, too, and eat some of the high FODMAPS foods every now and then.

You can take charge and your child does not have to suffer. You have agency. Good luck.

That's a quick way to turn Twitter into Linkedin or Medium.

There's a reason Twitter is bigger and more addictive than both of the above, and that's because people don't have the patience to read more than a few sentences at a time without getting bored. Most of what's posted on Twitter isn't that interesting, so people keep scrolling to find the next minor dopamine hit.
Here are some answer to the question in the part "Overseas remittance without middlemen"

- Where does the money exit?

Cross-bolder payment+settlement trough crypto needs an bridge asset in the middle that would be crypto. So the in and out (exit) is done on either side trough a local cryptocurrency exchange or a liquidity provider potentially even a decentralize liquidity pool. But AFAIK currently its only done with normal exchanges.
This means both sides could use fiat and theoretically do not need to know that the "money" went trough crypto at all. However there are ofc many people who do it manually i.e. they buy crypto send it to their families and explained to them how they can sell it.

- Again, the transaction fees. Western Union is expensive; is Bitcoin or Ethereum doing any better....

Short answer, No. Both BTC and ETH are way too expensive (for typical low value transactions). PoW/PoS can not be cheap to transact because there is always a middleman taking a cut (fee).
However there are other systems based on FBA (Federated Byzantine Agreement) which are specifically made to not have a middleman that collects fees. This results in transaction cost of fractions of cents regardless of transaction value and a settlement time of a few seconds. Note that the "cost" can not be zero to prevent spam but that money doesn't go to anyone so no one could have an incentive to raise the cost. Instead the cost adjust to network load so its cheap for everyone who does not spam.

- Novel criminal potential.

I dont think this will be a problem for commercial implementations of crypto remittance.
Companies use some form of risk management with insurance and all that doesn't change much. The actual part where cryoto is involved is probably the easiest to secure (assuming the system explained above is uses and end user never "touch" crypto unless they choose to)

For people dong it manually criminal do pose a risk but is it really larger than sending paper money via mail and then potentially take it to a bank to exchange it (yes people are forced to do this).

Is it a particularly interesting problem? Probably not for most people but its large, like really really large. Several hundred billion per year and growing 5-10% annually. Million of people affected. Low risk for the target people, they are not encouraged to hold highly volatile assets or use them to pay for something.
The article is not advocating flattening willy nilly. The point is to have bias for flatter structures to make it easier for the user, but of course not all structures can or should be flat. On the other hand, don’t over-engineer your data structure so it makes finding things difficult.

Grabbing an attribute is not necessarily any harder in a deeply nested structure, but filtering based on multiple deeply nested attributes in different branches can make a query quite complex.

You had me until this. What I don't like about PC isn't when actual racist comments get shouted down or whatever, which is what your comment implied. It's when non-racist statements are misconstrued as being racist in order to silence political opposition. For example when opposition to affirmative action is enough for some activists to try to get someone fired.

This claim by USPS seems false:

>Other federal agencies and most private sector companies use a “pay-as-you-go” system, by which the entity pays premiums as they are billed.

There are very strict rules about how non governmental employers have to calculate deferred compensation liabilities, and how much funding they have to have. The relevant laws are ERISA 1974 and PPA 2006. Once the deferred compensation is accrued, the employer must value the liabilities using certain yield curves for high grade corporate bonds and maintain certain funding levels. It is why private employers stopped offering pensions, it is exorbitantly expensive if you properly account for it, especially with increasing lifespans.

I do not know what USPS means when it says "pre-fund", but the text of the USPS funding law is here in section 802. To me, it indicates that money needs to be set aside for accrued benefits (from the wording "future payments required"). I also do not know if USPS is true in its claims that non government entities do not have to fund retiree healthcare benefits. I am pretty sure it would be covered by ERISA and PPA 2006, just like defined benefit pensions are, OR retiree healthcare benefits are not protected by law and if a company wants to stop paying them, they can.

Looks neat.

I've though about using tree-sitter DSL to generate zsh completion.

Your project seems to be a better candidate for this. Tree-sitter DSL, with some extra annotations, could be used to generate the specification. With the added bonus of being a format that can provide syntax highlight on text editors (in commands in sh files).

If I not mistaken, tree-sitter also uses TS.

I only gave a quick look at fig (only use HN on mobile). Will have a better look when at the desktop.

You think racism today is tearing society apart? Racism has never been lower. I haven't ever seen race riots breakout. In a few American cities anti-police protests have happened.

Liberal guilt is tearing itself apart. As things get better day after day because of the work so many put in, a group of people exists who ignores this and thinks the world is frozen in some media generated history.

> It also makes Ethereum Visa, so what's the point?

If Visa could be shared by anyone (without restriction) that is willing to stake capital into it, if it took at least 66% of the shares to try to collude, if it managed to do it at a fraction of the cost of the existing financial infrastructure, if it were uncensorable by governments and if it continues to be permissionless... then Mission. Fucking. Accomplished.
Sharing mutable data without a mutex (which suffers from unbounded contention) is hard. Approaches that work include updating persistent data structures and sharing the new copy, or sharing diff objects over a lock-free queue.
It's a grey area. There are quite a few open source audio apps that ship with ASIO support, some of them even GPL licensed. AFAICT, the problem is that Steinberg forbids redistribution of the SDK which would conflict with the GPL. Now, if you would get a license agreement from Steinberg and just don't include the SDK in your source code (to comply with Steinberg's terms), who is going to sue you for not complying with the GPL?

I'm guessing if that USB Modem can send SMS, it can almost certainly also get a TCP connection. (It is probably easier to find a sensibly priced SIM/plan that lets you sand a handful of SMS messages a year compared to one with a ultra low data usage internet connection though.)
As I said in a sibling comment, the important metric is price, because of gas fees and mining profit incentives. Price goes up, more miners start up, difficulty increases, more carbon burned, Earth dead.

Also I/O here means adding a block, which is proc-bound, which roasts the planet.

Finally, video games have entertainment utility. Cryptocurrencies have no non-crime utility. It's not useful to compare the energy use of things that have utility to things that don't.
> The article is not advocating flattening willy nilly.

It certainly seems like it does when the first example for flattening is oversimplifying an already simple structure that doesn't really need flattening. Maybe that was not meant to be a serious example but rather just for ease of understanding, but then the article should have probably said so.

> filtering based on multiple deeply nested attributes in different branches can make a query quite complex

Can you elaborate on this please? Maybe I'm just too tired to think clearly at 1 am, but I don't see how filtering is any harder. You would just do something like `jq '.foo | select(.bar.baz >= 42 and .qux.moo.asd == "abc")`.
