metakermiton Show HN: Marina.io, an open source Docker Hub with ARM support

BTW, for everyone who wants to discuss marina.io with us in more depth, we created a "marina.io" category on our Discourse forum:

metakermiton Show HN: Marina.io, an open source Docker Hub with ARM support

OK, I tried it out and I see what you mean. I opened an issue on GitHub – https://github.com/cloudfleet/floating-dock/issues/12

Thanks for reporting this, corwin7!

Cool! Feel free to reach out to us if you have any trouble using marina :)

It's supposed to be an email verification step after which your selected username/password should work. We'll check if we can improve the messaging to make it clearer.

metakermiton Serverless Raspberry Pi Cluster with Docker

Sure, that would be great. Yeah you have our email and other contacts on – https://cloudfleet.io/ or mine directly on https://metakermit.com/

If you still like going "serverful", but want an easy method of deploying to your Raspberry Pi using Docker, check out this open source Docker Hub for ARM alternative

A quick tutorial on how to get started with marina.io by deploying a simple website to a Raspberry Pi can be found here:

Helpful screenshots illustrate the whole process :)

metakermiton Commander Keen Level Maps

Ah, such fond memories looking at these levels… This is where I learned my first command prompt skills – cd-ing through directories, dir /p-ing and running the various keen.exe programs :)

metakermiton How HBO’s Silicon Valley Built “Not Hotdog” with TensorFlow, Keras and React Native

yeah, that's my main pain with the TF docs – great if you just want to try one of the MNIST tutorial variations, but there's a lot more you need to figure out when you get beyond of these "hello world" examples…

Pro tip – Cmd/Ctrl+F for "independently". Research redundancy :)

metakermiton Ask HN: Building a side project that makes money. Where to start?

> So you need to work consistently 1-2 hours a day on your side project.

I would underline this consistency. I found that as long as I'm regularly doing even the tiniest of improvements to my side-project, I am very efficient over the span of a few months. When due to other obligations I drop the habit, I start forgetting how parts of the codebase work. It becomes harder to restart the project and the whole thing just seems depressing. Consistency is key!

Also, I would recommend checking out Indie Hackers if you need inspiration :)

metakermiton Silicon Valley Hedge Fund Takes on Wall Street with AI Trader

Not sure how usable it would be for your use-case, but I heard a talk explaining Quandl – they want to do to Bloomberg what Wikipedia did to Encyclopedia Britannica.

metakermiton Chrome 56 will mark HTTP pages with password fields as non-secure

I wrote a short article on this topic with approaches for less tech savvy folks to set up HTTPS:

metakermiton Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?

I can also recommend http://www.productpeople.tv/ and the related community as a good place where product builders hang out and share experiences.

More business info in this Forbes article:

TL;DR:

> “We’re now an independent company within the Alphabet umbrella,”

> Google is currently equipping a fleet of 100 hybrid Chrysler minivans with its sensors and computing gear that will soon join its nearly 60 prototype autonomous vehicles. The company hasn't yet disclosed when and how it will begin generating revenue from its efforts and Krafcik declined to discuss specific business plans today.

metakermiton Introducing Stack Overflow Documentation Beta

I think this will be separate from Stack Overflow Q&A, if that's what you were aiming at. SO Q&A will still target specific examples. But yes, the new SO Documentation project will be code examples and explanations curated by presumably many existing SO users.

metakermiton Introducing Stack Overflow Documentation Beta

Cool new project – I think it might become very helpful one day. Documentation for a lot of open source projects is pretty bad and having to figure out a new contributing workflow every time just to hop in and help a bit is quite problematic. Hopefully, the unified interface SO users are used to will give docs writing a big boost.

That said, I still hope they output some sort of GitHub repo of all the accepted changes to make it a bit less walled-gardeny. A CC license is nice and all, but having the content in a repo as well would put my mind at ease.

metakermiton Ask HN: What should I do with my old laptop?

I guess it depends on where you live. I'd search for some sort of giveaway communities on Facebook or elsewhere online. It will probably be something local, due to shipping costs etc. For example in Croatia I give old hardware away over:

- poklanjanje.com ( https://www.facebook.com/Poklanjanje-142113603722 )

- cipele46 ( https://www.facebook.com/Cipele46 , http://cipele46.org/ )

metakermiton Ask HN: How do you handle large Python projects?

I guess it's worth taking a look at some more complex open source Python projects. I think pandas [1] is a pretty good example, with a relatively large amount of Python and Cython code.

They start off with a pretty decent amount of unit tests (84% coverage) and make sure it's visible to developers using:

- Travis [2] (has to pass on pull requests too before contributions are accepted)

- Coverage [3]

There's also Code Climate [4] for some more introspection.

Looks like it could also act as a radiator :) Especially with the RPi 3 heating issues:

metakermiton Jupyter Notebook Analysis of Salary Data Spreadsheet

I'm trying to collect a similar dataset for freelancer hourly rates on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/freelance/comments/4bsk14/freelance...

Tried it on Hacker News as well, but it didn't get any attention:

metakermiton Freelancer hourly rates – a crowdsourced spreadsheet

It's hard to know what you can/should charge as a freelancer based on your experience, your or your client's location etc. and it's kind of tricky asking other people in person how much they charge, so I thought making an anonymous crowd-sourced spreadsheet where everyone can enter data would be a nice way to help people make better decisions. So, let's gather the data :)

Inspired by the salaries post that made it to the front page earlier today:

metakermiton Why not just a simple spreadsheet of salaries?

For the remote workers among you, the similar freelancing spreadsheet might be interested.

metakermiton Show HN: how2 – stackoverflow.com from the terminal

You can also get the whole answer in `howdoi` by passing the `-a` flag:

    howdoi -a inverse grep a file

Even basic syntax highlighting is supported using `-c`.

Actually, Stallman himself asked us to mark the video under that license (he proof-read the post).

metakermiton Xkcd: Git

That was an excellent one :) Would be a nice intro for GitUp where the main idea is to bring git's graph-based nature closer to the user.
