I know neo4j is the 800 lb. gorilla in this space, but it's interesting it has way more stars (almost 8K) than neo4j's almost 3K.

Another open-source implementation using a similar concept and Elasticsearch is image-match: https://github.com/ascribe/image-match

I wonder if accelerometer data would be useful to determine road quality? It may help cash strapped cities like here in Toledo prioritize the bumpiest roads to fix.

This is awesome! I have wanted a different pricing structure for personal accounts for a long time.

And for those who have issues with the organizational changes, did you see?

> I am an existing organization customer and prefer the per-repository plans. Can I remain on my current plan?

> Yes, you can choose to continue paying based on the number of repositories you use. You can also upgrade or downgrade in the legacy repository structure based on the number of repositories you need.

Oh the irony. I came across this here, while procrastinating, and decided this was too long so I sent it to Instapaper, where I will probably never read it...

I tried using Linux as my primary desktop mostly out of curiosity because I'm wondering what my options are as Apple continues to focus its efforts on iOS (c.f., the Mac buyers guide which paints a pretty bleak picture of the current state of Apple desktops and portables: http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac) and hopes that Docker performance would be as close to native as possible without a VM/laggy shared folders in the way. Plus I had a spare PC laying around.

I didn't give it as long as the OP, but it just took way too much time fiddling to get to a stable, working place and even then things weren't as nice as on OS X with very little to no tweaking. HiDPI in particular is a mess, with support all over the place. OS X nails it. Plus there are some really great apps I use every day on OS X that there is no substitute for (Sketch, Tweetbot, Reeder, Alfred, and Photoshop come to mind.)

Even "little" things like font rendering is kind of a mess on Linux and really is a big deal if you are a developer staring at them all day or are a web developer and need to see what things look like with proper fonts installed.

I hope OS X sticks around for awhile or a worthy competitor appears. I'd think there is an opportunity for someone to create a great portable, a great desktop, and a great OS for both but I'm sure it pales in comparison to the tablet and mobile ecosystem.

It's a good question, especially in the age of small static binaries with no external depdencies anyway.

Even if the isolation isn't of much value, Docker is still useful as transport and storage. Getting back to the shipping container metaphor, it's easier to move things around if they are all the same. And Docker containers are a pretty good way to do that with code.

Neat, love reading antirez's posts and the README for this is amazing.

I'm waiting for AWS Lambda to support running a Docker container, right now its just Node.js or Java with a specified environment. I suspect they are running Lambda functions in containers already, hopefully just a matter of time before they expose that to any Docker image.

We use Jenkins for a cron-replacement too. We've noticed all the benefits you mention plus it's dead easy for others in the organization to (re)run tasks, even with different parameters.

This is awesome! I've been waiting for this for awhile.

I saw the comment about getting drives shipped to you, which is pretty neat, but what about the other way? I have about 50 TB of data we'd like to store, but only 5mbps upstream. Can we ship drives to you?

iTerm 2 actually supports images! http://www.iterm2.com/images.html It works pretty well. I wrote a little blog post awhile ago about using it for integration testing: http://kevinmarsh.com/2014/05/07/in-terminal-screenshots-wit...

Can you elaborate? I've been looking for a way to do this on an iPhone.

I've wanted this as well... plus keep track of how long commands took to run and (heck, why not?) output!

Awesome! Tools that give you real-time feedback like this really help those learning image analysis/computer vision.

I've been increasingly feeling the same way, especially about OS X, but what's the alternative for a developer-friendly desktop operating system that looks and works beautifully (almost) out of the box?

Any tips for getting a fairly significant amount of data (50TB) from a local NAS to Google quicker than a 5mbps upstream will allow?

Amazon has Import/Export which lets you ship drives, is this the best option?

Gmail actually has pretty good keyboard shortcuts...

Not related to this specific post but just wanted to chime in and say all of your stuff is really great, love the visualizations! Thanks and keep up the good work.

It'd be pretty neat if Lamba just let you run a Docker container.

Looks interesting... but for my use case I'd rather not deal with NFS, use a FUSE-based S3 mount and save 90%.

Neat concept! I could see a lot of interesting ways this could grow: like building a graph of blockers based on @mentions and reminding people they are in the way. Of course it'd be nice to keep track of who is consistently late and after n tardies they have to bring :doughnut:s

The site and content is hosted on Github (https://github.com/deadbeefnews/deadbeefnews.github.io) I wonder if they support pull requests?

I've been interested in these database query frontend services/apps for ahwile (e.g., Looker, periscope, chartio) but every single one of them has only a Free Trial and no mention of pricing anywhere on their sites–-which makes me think its a multi-thousand dollar/month investment.

Is this true? If so, is there anything a little more cost-effective for running, visualizing, and saving database queries?

I've wondered for a really long time myself https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7104653

Great work! I played around with deis a few months ago and it was the first PaaS I was able to get up and running and actually, you know, deploy an app to!

Couple questions:

1. What about storage? I know you use ceph for the Docker registry, etc. Is that exposed so that apps can somehow use it?

2. When I tried it, performance was kind of lacking (for things like pushing apps and making config changes). Was this just a limitation of my setup (I used 3x2GB DigitalOcean nodes) or something you guys are working out?

Thanks again!

Something similar for creating GUIs on Mac OS X http://www.bluem.net/en/mac/pashua/

I've long been accustomed to setting up servers one-command-at-a-time with SSH. I tried Chef and some of the others, but they seemed too complicated to get setup.

Ansible's out of the box experience allows you to start with some simple but useful constructs then allow you to graduate to more and more complex usage.

I started with some of the one-liners here, then setting up inventory files, then roles, some simple tasks and then (what really sold me) was templates.

Even just having those configuration files in an SCM is a huge win, but I honestly squealed with joy when I was able to write a nginx configuration file that dynamically included backend servers given a particular role. And that provisioning a new backend server took a couple minutes and was automatically added to the load-balancing proxy! (not to mention was instantly sending metrics to a graphite/statsd backend because collectd was installed automatically too as part of a common role and configured to point to that log collecting server!)

Magic!

It is certainly my intention to open up the API more and allow folks to create their own pieces. In fact, I hope the community aspect far outgrows the "seed" pieces that I created to launch the site. However, in terms of launching an MVP, documenting and hardening the API for anyone was too much to take on right away.

I'm behind variart, thanks for submitting this. It's a bit early, I just took the wraps off late last week but if you have any questions or comments, let me know!
