Author here: I thought I'd write up and share a pattern I've been using lately (especially with Claude code) when spinning up quick apps on Dokku without setting up DNS, GitHub, etc. for each one. Homelabs FTW!

Unrelated, but wondering if anyone here could recommend a Darktable-ish web-based photo organization app, less focused on editing but supporting tagging, starring, etc.?

Nice! Similar to Brett Terpstra's Bunch[1] which has a GUI-less approach.

Re:Show HN: Searchable Kubernetes CSI provider listing
on Monday June 17, 2024 @01:23PM (#40708288)
Hmm, maybe... although that wouldn't help with the aggregating multiple nodes issue, or would require a lot of app-side logic.
In this example, I have 200GB of ephemeral storage available on each node, ideally I'd like something like this:
node1: /tmp/data1 (200GB free space)
node2: /tmp/data2 (200GB free space)
node3: /tmp/data3 (200GB free space)
node4: /tmp/data4 (200GB free space)
node5: /tmp/data5 (200GB free space)
Re:Show HN: Searchable Kubernetes CSI provider listing
on Monday June 17, 2024 @08:45AM (#40705050)
Yep! But I don't have access to any block devices on nodes, only the local paths so I'm not sure OpenEBS or Ceph would work...
Re:Show HN: Searchable Kubernetes CSI provider listing

Somewhat related: can anyone recommend a simple solution to share each node’s ephemeral disk/“emptyDir” across the cluster? Speed is more important than durability, this is just for a temporary batch job cluster. It’d be ideal if I could stripe across nodes and expose one big volume to all pods (JBOD style)

Re:Embeddings are a good starting point for the AI curious app developer
on Thursday April 18, 2024 @07:44AM (#40075141)
One thing I'm not sure of is how much of a larger bit of text should go into an embedding? I assume it's a trade off of context and recall, with one word not meaning much semantically, and the whole document being too much to represent with just numbers. Is there a sweet spot (e.g. split by sentence) or am I missing something here?

Ask HN: Point Set Matching
Can anyone recommend an algorithm that would find a subset of 2D points in a larger set, with outliers. It's a similar problem to the one presented here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27823048/good-algorithm-for-finding-subsets-of-point-sets but after all these years I still haven't found a great solution.

As far as I know, even with the recent increase, Backblaze B2 is still the most cost efficient option at $6/TB/mo... but I'll be watching replies closely.

Re:Ruby 3.2.0 Is from Another Dimension
on Wednesday January 04, 2023 @01:52PM (#34249745)
Just some anecdata but I'm not seeing such dramatic improvements with YJIT, actually in my limited testing it's much slower...
Ruby 3.2.0, on a M1 MacBook Pro hitting a simple healthcheck route in a production Rails 6.1 app with wrk (`wrk -c8 -t8 -d30s http://localhost:3000/healthcheck`):
- 423 reqs/second with JIT disabled (using 229MB of RAM)
- 74 reqs/second running with `RUBYOPT="--yjit"` (using 385 MB of RAM)
I must be doing something wrong?

Re:Tabler: Free and open source dashboard HTML/CSS framework
on Friday July 29, 2022 @02:08PM (#32280080)
I love Tabler and have used it for a few projects with great success.
The title of the OP is not really accurate though. It's not so much a framework but a bunch of customization on top of Bootstrap and some pre-built templates for stuff _like_ dashboards, galleries, forms, etc. The site is more like a kitchen sink demo and documentation site for stuff you can pick apart and use in your own application.

I don't remember the leave-a-message one, but I do remember the dial in service. One day I went down to the local library and found an old phone book from the 90s and sure enough, it had all the codes. Here are some photos from the Toledo, OH Ameritech 1996-7 phone book if anyone else is curious:
