Passphrase generator using #babashka #clojure and reading randomness from /dev/urandom and wordlist from /usr/share/dict/words. Can't speak to its security, but a nice exercise in any case. https://t.co/on2KlMuO1d

bbf, a tiny script to make filtering data more concise: https://t.co/1cEtDk0pQ
Even numbers to 10:
$ seq 10 | bbf even?
Multiples of 7 under 100:
$ seq 100 | bbf '#(= 0 (rem % 7))'
Movies released in the 80s:
$ cat movies.edn | bbf '#(< 1980 (:year %) 1990)'
