lazyslurm is a tui for managing slurm jobs on HPC clusters. It's kind of like lazygit or lazydocker. I've been chipping away at it for the last few months. Its built in rust w/ ratatui.

- https://banksia.bio: I suspect there is a market for private consumer whole genome sequencing services. Think "Mullvad vpn" of sequencing - I shouldn't have to know the identity of the person I am sequencing, and they can be identified with a client number not tied to their PII.

- lazyslurm: A TUI tool for managing/viewing slurm / HPC setups. Similar to lazygit or lazydocker (https://github.com/hill/lazyslurm)

https://banksia.bio - I think private personal genome sequencing is an underserved market. I'm trying to start a "Mullvad VPN"-esque service where I as a provider do not need your personal information to perform the sequencing. Very much a WIP at the moment :)

I'm building a lazygit / lazydocker like TUI for slurm jobs on HPC.

It's called lazyslurm - https://github.com/hill/lazyslurm

Would love feedback! <3

Lazyslurm: https://github.com/hill/lazyslurm - a terminal ui for managing and visualizing slurm jobs. Heavily inspired by lazygit and lazydocker.

Very early into this - would love feedback!

Recipe Cleaning - A little tool I've been working on to extract the actual recipe from SEO-bloated recipe content: https://recipe.cleaning/<YOUR_RECIPE_URL_HERE>

It uses the microdata and json-ld documents embedded in the page to find the content you actually want to see. No need for AI/LLM extraction.

At my previous employer, our (very small < 10 dev) team was on a rotation with 2 devs per week. All devs were required to be on call (which I think was the correct decision - makes us ship better code because we don't want to be supporting its failure!)

Our head of engineering gave us 1 day time off in lieu (TOIL) per week of on-call support. I was pretty happy with that as comp.

Hey! I’d love to learn more about your setup if you have time. Do you mind sending an email to hello[at]pgmagic.app - Thanks!
Yeah data viz generation is certainly something I'm looking into adding.
Awesome! Great idea I'll check this out. Thanks :)
P.S. If you would like to purchase it after the demo, please use HELLOHN for 25% off :)

Hi HN. This is a project I've been building for the last month.It's a macOS postgres client that uses your OpenAI key to generate and immediately execute queries against your database locally on your machine.I imagine the user being someone familiar with SQL and able to identify errors in the generated code, but regularly needs to write queries to answer relatively simple questions.This is my...

I also felt this way about hosting simple projects on AWS. I tried https://fly.io and I think the experience there is exactly what you’re looking for. Super simple to deploy anything that is dockerized and setting up domains/ssl is the easiest I have experienced from any hosting provider.
