Sorry for the offtopicness, but trollish usernames aren't allowed on HN, so we've banned this account.

If you want to pick a different username, we can rename it for you and unban the account, as long as the username is genuinely neutral.

Lazier than you think! You almost nerdsniped me into seeing how fast I could whip up a crawler but then I checked the search and found out it can find comments and use a custom date range.

We really do love pudding.cool[1]- I'd never bothered to go look at what it's actually all about till today, and you should too if you've not, because it wasn't exactly as I expected: https://pudding.cool/about/

Is this post showing a bug in HN? It says it was posted 10 hours ago, but Algolia says it was posted 2 days ago

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=tru...

And mehulashah's comment that the thread claims was posted 7 hours ago was also posted two days ago, according to Algolia

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=tru...

From https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... it looks likethere are like 5 or 6 post per year.

hey hn, supabase ceo her

we just announced GA, after ~4 years of beta. for those who don't know: supabase is a postgres hosting company. we also host other open source "backend" tools that make it easy to get started with postgres (tools like PostgREST for auto-generate APIs [0])

we owe a lot to the HN community. you launched us 4 years ago [1], when we were just a few developers. since then HN has been a staple in our journey, one of the best sources of product feedback [2]

the GA badge is mostly to signify organizational readiness. we're at a stage where we can take any profile of customer. we have a support team that works 24/7, and a success team that will help customers improve their postgres usage. we released our Index Advisor [3] yesterday, and we'll be releasing a few more products this week that helps customer with performance and security.

on a personal note: i read HN most days, and love going through the ShowHN's to see what devs are building. thanks for being an awesome community and my favorite place to lurk on the internet. i'll stick around to answer any questions

If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the thread.

Install jq and yq, and wrap your commands with | yq -y ..

Confusingly there is another project called yq that does exactly what you're suggesting and it's a preprocessor that converts yaml to json and then used jq. https://github.com/kislyuk/yq

yq

I personally find the yq tool from https://github.com/kislyuk/yq much more useful: it has all the same options and formats as `jq` (as it's really a wrapper around jq). Rather than the `yq` in the OP here where only partial functionality exists.

XML data from the API can be parsed and filtered with xq. There may be multiple ways to get it; first try the yq toolset which includes it.

There is also yq [1], which attempts the same for yaml, toml and xml. (And confusingly also contains a binary named "xq" for querying xml, however with a different syntax)
