Hack 37 – May 2023

This was a bit of quiet one, which is just as well that nobody was around to witness Adam failing spectacularly at crafting trixy jq pipelines. Ryan was kind of around, but battling norovirus, so he and Adam chatted about not hackstuff for approx 20 minutes and didn’t record it. When WILL the next podcast episode be…?????

…only time will tell

Things people did

• Adam was trying to make a particularly nasty jq chain work, and in the end didn’t get it working, so just removed that particular exercise from jq-pilot so it didn’t matter.

Postscript: He eventually figured out how to make it work at a restaurant in Gatwick airport, so the original exercise is back in business…to the massive relief off all the people who have backed this project on kickstarter.

• Joe did a lot of bread folding, mostly sourdough. There was also a bit of a breakthrough in the Godot dice escapade, but sure not as tasty as the bread thing.

• Hugh found an errant filament in his computer and pulled it out. What he was doing inside his own computer, nobody can say for certain.
