The use case could be e.g. exactly processing an old trove of logs into something more easily indexed and queryable, and you might want to use jq as part of that processing pipeline

I don’t see any signs of bad parenting here, but a lot of signs of carrying on of a suicidal conversation by ChatGPT indeed, to the point of encouraging the suicide.

Based on my experience living here in Helsinki for 30 years, people drive cars _more_ in the winter rather than less. That’s because the alternative is usually some combination of walking and public transit, and walking is uncomfortable in

I had pretty much the exact same experience with Game Maker too. In retrospect, feels like a very powerful pedagogical tool. Even when I wasn't really trying to "learn coding" but rather I just wanted to make some games, I en

I also started off around the same age with GameMaker; if it’s even half as good still as it was in the 2000s, can definitely recommend it! In the beginning all I did was fool around with the example games and tutorials, and that got me sta

Well, nobody’s rounding them up to be burned, so in bookshelves, libraries and archives. The copyright owners might do well to print more copies of the original, too, as the demand has risen with this stunt. If they’re very shrewd, maybe th
