> the government broke up the monopoly and forced competition into the market by making existing players share infrastructure.

Yeah, this was excellent for 4G prices (I'm paying $8/mo for 40 GB), but now telecom companies are wary of installing 5G infrastructure, because they are forced to share it with other service providers who did not have to invest millions in new 5G infrastructure.

Bash Bonus #2:

   seq 1 10 | xargs -n 1 ./go-grab-xkcd -s -n

Lately I've started to use Perl instead of sed for replacing text. Its regex support is much better IMO:

  cat a.txt | perl -pe 's/banana-(\d)/papaya-$1/g'

Or in-place:

  perl -i -pe 's/banana-(\d)/papaya-$1/g' a.txt

Personally I like parallel better because of the `--bar` option and `{}`, `{.}`, `{/}` and `{/.}`. And I usually just use it with `-P 1` anyway.

Also for me. Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Google Photos just load forever. Android 8.1.

So what does viable mean?

I usually replace cat with pv and gets a nice progress bar and ETA :-)

Done.

It's pretty hard because of the source data. I'll see what I can do about dividing search results into food categories.

Thanks for your feedback.

Done. :-)

Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll do this. :-)

Cool!

The data was taken from http://www.diogenes-eu.org/GI-Database/Default.htm (https://github.com/assafmo/gl-calc/tree/master/src_data)

Weird, pasta is in the database. What happened to you is probably the slowness of the search. The database is loaded entirely to the client and searches are done in memory.

Right now it's pretty jumpy even on high-end hardware. I need to fix this.

Thanks for your feedback! I'll address this.

tshark always hogs my RAM and eventually crashes on > 4GB pcaps. I'd love to have a solution for this.

When breaking a pipe into two lines, I find it cleaner to end the first line with pipe instead of backslash. Then I indent the second line. Bash knows a command cannot end with pipe, therefore it's syntactically ok.

E.g.

  cmd1 |
    cmd2

Instead of:

  cmd1 \
    | cmd2

Thanks! I missed this. Fixed. :-)

What about their new webhooks API for notifications?

https://dev.twitter.com/webhooks

No, but sometimes I feel like others do. I often see downvoted comments with no apperant reason why.

This looks interesting! I love the idea of crypto currencies index fund.

You can maybe save the 9$/month by replacing PostgreSQL with a more generous cloud database. Maybe Cloudant (https://www.ibm.com/cloud/cloudant/pricing) or Firestore (https://firebase.google.com/pricing/).

You should also check out the lambda services of google/azure/aws/webtask.io, maybe they are cheaper for your usage than the $7/month you are paying Heroku for the dyno.

jq is awesome, but i wish it'd know to ignore broken json and not just fail and exit.

This looks awesome! I'll test this later and give feedback.

I'll definitely test this with Twitter!

I'm using IFTTT to send webhooks from twitter and the delay can get up to 15 minutes. I also tested Microsoft Flow and the delay was bigger than IFTTT.

Can't you pay directly for private insurance in the US?

I pay directly to the insurance company. It costs me about 145 usd/month and includes health insurance (with urgent care), long term care insurance, life insurance (about 500k usd) and some more.

I could have done it through my employer, but when I leave for another place I'll have to renegotiate the price with the insurance company, and also this option has less good of coverage IMO. It is cheaper by 70% tough.
