Since I'm also looking for this, let me share my favourite (and only other I know of):

Thank you for describing this "hypnotic transcendental feeling", which I now realize is the common quality that I so enjoy in both Bolero and Terry Riley's "In C" (especially the Ictus & Blindman quartet version https://play.google.com/music/m/Be26kwoxcafkgcyxad6c25y6m3y).

Anyway, now that I've discovered this, I'd love if you'd share some pieces (or a playlist!) that you've found that have this quality?

While jq is definitely faster, for more complex tasks I love using ramda-cli [1]. It has all the functions from the excellent Ramda [2] AND you can use LiveScript's [3] terser syntax (and pipes!).

Here's a quick command to output a list of recent files on Linux:

    xml2json < ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel | ramda '.xbel.bookmark |> pluck \href |> map replace /file:\/\//, ""' -o raw

And here's a more interesting example using output from Algolia's search API:

   curl 'https://<redacted Algolia url>' | ramda '.hits |> map pick <[title url story_url objectID points num_comments]> |> evolve title: take 2 |> sort (.points) |> reverse'

Hi HN!

I've been meaning to post this for a while. It's very basic and I have tons of pending improvements for it, but it's proven useful to me quite a few times, so... here goes :)

There's another tool in there I called "google-grep", which does (pretty badly), something I'd like search engines to do, which allow you to easily search the content of search results the same query, and output a few lines of context.
