Still discovering new shell tricks.
TIL: Substitutions.
`cmd <(cat file)` invokes `cmd` with the first parameter being a named pipe (e.g. `/dev/fd/22`) which contains the contents of `file`.
Example use-case: You wanna diff two files, but they are binary so need disassembling

I’d prefer a free, open source PDF converter, preferably one with a Node.js API or a general CLI.

First, Donald Trump Jr. had to issue a statement to try to stop people from buying up all the fake tokens purporting to be associated with their murky project [I64]. Then, Twitter accounts for Lara and Tiffany Trump were both compromised and used to send tweets announcing a supposed token launch. “This is a scam!!!” tweeted Eric, himself retweeting the tweet from his wife’s account containing the scam token address.

The hack was not a sophisticated one, and instead exploited sloppiness on behalf of the development team. The four people who built Dough are all listed as members of the World Liberty Financial team, as are Trump’s sons (including 18-year-old Barron, who they list as a “DeFi visionary”). Zachary Folkman, a Dough Finance creator who is now listed as the head of operations for World Liberty Finance, previously ran a pick-up artist advice platform called “Date Hotter Girls”.25 You should really just read the piece by CoinDesk, they did some great reporting here.](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/113/092/318/824/889/524/original/0a9aff57cccd70cc.png){kind=link}
