doktorn··on Modern Linux tools
`jq` is pretty much the only one solving a real problem that no existing tool solves IMHO. Most of the others are rewrites for some opinionated 'better' (faster, syntax highlighting, written in Rust or whatever...).

Sweden does it as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FRA_law
doktorn··on Apple Changed Search Algorithm for App Store

doktorn··on Show HN: Cobook, the smart address book
Me too. I also hit the back button since I didn't want to watch a video. Would have been good enough with a link to some textual explanation and images.
