Is there any tool I can use to sync the userscripts easily? last time I checked it requires some clicks and browse files. I want them to be included in my dotfiles and automatically synced on git pull

Everyone here mentions jq but no one mentions "fx". It's an awesome cli app to browse json. It can modify json too, but I think jq has shorter DSL. If you want to browse or navigate through nested json, this is the best tool I know.

I wouldn't use GUI for this simply because piping data and mouseless env are more convenient to me. These are my other use cases:

- validation & auto fixing: fix-busted-json (python)

- tabular view : visidata (vd) can do this directly on json files. it has tons of other features like histogram, charts, sort, filter, edit, etc

- summarizing and querying: duckdb. Example: select sum(price), count(*) from 'orders.json'

- conversion: json2csv, it works both way

- diff: simply diff, but sometimes jq for ordering keys is required

How did the author know the words used in pokemon and big data are quite similar?

Looks good, setup is quite a hassle. but still not as straightforward as postgres file fdw

Compare that with creating a table right from csv file (using fdw) in postgres without importing data. Very neat

Is it just me or medium's comment section is fundamentally wrong? It's always a pain for me to browse

That's why polygot programming is better I guess.

It's true for professional work. But when parents ask you to do something then do it, and learn to do it properly.

I'd love to see that sql cli app of yours. Is that available for public?
