[OP] A quick read highlighting some key open source projects available to machine learning platform engineers.

HPC-like systems can now be implemented in cloud-native environments (using Kubernetes), but the stack of tools for doing so is quickly evolving and requires continued investment.

> why do people continue to do their work in one? Most nb users don't use vscode. I'd say main reason is you can't open a notebook without starting a kernel which takes >1 second. It also is harder to setup.

In terms of a flat file formats, there is actually a mark down extension which I would say is better than vscode's format because it is more standardised:

Hi there, I'm Alex.

I'm a freelance engineer who works on devtools.

I am interested in data infrastructure, and just released a tool for analysing docker image disk usage https://github.com/treebeardtech/whaler.

My long-term goal is to create SaaS products which complement my open source contributions. Very happy to chat with others with similar goals.

alex-treebeard | 5 years ago | on: Show HN: Whaler – a visual disk-usage analyser for Docker images

Thought I'd drop my xmas project in here: A visual disk usage analyser for docker images.

I have regularly found Disk Inventory X to be illuminating when fighting congestion on my macbook, but when it came to de-congesting Python docker images there was no similar tool.

Unlike Disk Inventory X and other similar tools, Whaler works from the command-line both on local dirs and images. It is built using modern front end tech: D3, Canvas, React, making it portable to all platforms including headless environments.

I have tested the tool with directories containing up to 500K nodes which should be fine for most Python Docker images. Beyond that it may chug/crash.

A live demo of my CI environment is https://treebeardtech.github.io/whaler/
