jq: JSONL ↔︎ JSON conversion

Prerequisites

jq — https://jqlang.github.io/jq/ — "like sed for JSON data"

There are several options available for installing jq. I prefer to use Homebrew: brew install jq

JSONL → JSON

1. Descriptive Title for the Project

Stabilizers of Trust: A critical study of the algorithms behind library discovery systems

2. Goals and Objectives

what I'm aiming for

got several thousand pics scraped from instagram, using variation of 'bone' for keyword. Which is fine, as far as it goes, but the language of the tags and the content of the images is not 1:1; lots of cruft. Also, interesting to see how language of the tags differs from the content of the images. Want to automatically caption the images so I can search 'em more effectively, also, explore the disconnect.

what i needed

updated docker on my machine
run docker quickstart terminal to spin up a vm
docker pull beevaenriqueotero/docker-neuraltalk2
docker run -i -t beevaenriqueotero/docker-neuraltalk2 /bin/bash puts me into the container. This is dockerized version of https://github.com/karpathy/neuraltalk2. There are other dockerized versions, but that's the one I got to work.

Algorithmic Gender Bias in Discovery Systems

This is a working draft of a possible future blog post

At GVSU, we used the Summon discovery service to provide search across most of our resources. One of Summon 2.0's features is the "Topic Explorer," a sidebar that provides general reference information when a search is done. The Topic Explorer shows short excerpts from Reference Sources, including Wikipedia, when a search meets certain criteria. From the Summon Press Release announcing Summon 2.0 in 2013:

Developed by analyzing global Summon usage data and leveraging commercial and open access reference content, as well as librarian expertise, this new feature helps users get started (presearch) with the research process and allows librarians to help users when and where they need it most.

The Topic Explorer returns different reference articles about the superhero "batman," for instance, depend

An Operator's Look at RethinkDB

Matt Blair - @mattyblair - Flipboard

The Getting Started Experience

It's in Homebrew and just runs (relative to, say, HBase): awesome!
Having packages for popular Linux distros (I use Ubuntu personally and at work): awesome!
Serving the GPG key over HTTP: not so awesome :-/
apt-get -y install rethinkdb
It didn't start by default- great! I hate when services do this. I then looked at the start script to see how it knew (usually daemons use /etc/default/blah, but it has custom logic to see if there's anything in /etc/rethinkdb/instances.d, which is cool).

"1000 Blank White Cards is a party game played with cards in which the deck is created as part of the game... Since any game rules are contained on the cards (rather than existing as all-encompassing rules or in a rule book), 1000 Blank White Cards can be considered a sort of nomic. It can be played by any number of players and provides the opportunity for card creation and gameplay outside the scope of a single sitting. Creating new cards during the game, dealing with previous cards' effects, is allowed, and rule modification is encouraged as an integral part of gameplay.

I will keep track of the rules... here:

Rule 1. TEXT MUST BE IN ALL CAPS
Rule 2. EVERY TENTH CARD MUST CONTAIN A TAUTOLOGY
Rule 3. 5PTS IF YOU REWORK AN OBLIQUE STRATEGY. IT IS SIMPLY A MATTER OF REWORK
