Thanks for the honesty @joelkuiper As a deep thinker, procrastinator, over-thinker, and someone with Bi-polar, I can say you're not alone in feeling alone. I'm just processing some thoughts, and then I will try and reply to the post properly

joelkuiper01:02:59

@gjnoonan: thanks simple_smile it’s tricky stuff. Just felt like I could/should post it here There might be some like minded people, to break the cycle or something

borkdude09:02:32

@joelkuiper: Thanks for sharing your thoughts

pguillebert13:02:00

@joelkuiper: this post is great. I can relate to so much of it...

borkdude14:02:19

is someone a user of jq here?

mcgivernsa14:02:57

I've used it before, not an expert though

borkdude14:02:21

I'm getting output from some process that looks like: "{...} {...} {...}" which is not valid json in itself, unless you wrap it in a vector

borkdude14:02:29

s/vector/array

borkdude14:02:54

I wonder if jq already has an option to interpret it like this or that I have to do some wrapping myself

mcgivernsa14:02:45

is it on different lines or all on one line?

borkdude14:02:14

different lines

mcgivernsa14:02:54

hmm, looks like it doesn't matter - try jq -s

borkdude14:02:54

yeah, that's what I searched for, cool simple_smile

mcgivernsa15:02:33

also, jq is awesome, if a bit terse

borkdude18:02:28

what language is more mature in ecosystem for system scripting: Python or Ruby?

bhavenger19:02:51

let’s holy war begin!

borkdude19:02:05

if I'm looking at a Kafka library only, I think Python wins

jcromartie19:02:30

ugh why is Adium so terrible

jcromartie19:02:10

I can’t connect to group chats, can’t move contacts to different groups, can’t get one of my accounts to automatically connect, can’t get contacts to stop saying “Not Authorized"

jcromartie19:02:14

it’s just a wreck

jcromartie19:02:18

what’s a better Jabber client

echristopherson19:02:13

@jcromartie: are you trying to use it with facebook, by chance? that's been failing for me for months

echristopherson19:02:58

@jcromartie: I installed pidgin for OS X... and let's say I don't enjoy it at all, even though maybe it functions better. (but then again, I haven't installed the extra library that's supposed to make facebook work there either)

jonahbenton19:02:30

hey @borkdude: python, hands down. And look at Ansible to save yourself time for even basic system automation: https://www.ansible.com/

jcromartie20:02:12

after nuking all of the Adium-related files I could find on my system and setting up my accounts again it seems to be behaving a little better

echristopherson20:02:33

@jcromartie: do you have a facebook account in adium?

jcromartie20:02:47

no, it’s just two Jabber accounts

jcromartie20:02:53

not Facebook related

fxposter20:02:00

@borkdude: as a Ruby developer - I’d say python wins because of the fact that it’s installed by default almost everywhere. in terms of libraries - I’d say there’s parity except if you need some math stuff like numpy.

fxposter20:02:42

@borkdude: the other option if you want to simply deploy tools is Go, though it’s not a “scripting lang”, but it’s pretty lightweight
