Ask HN: Where to look for side work?
My wife and I are expecting in May, and for those of you who haven't checked recently, babies are expensive. While we aren't in dire straits - my day job will get my family where we want to be in 18 months without any fuss - I've been looking around for a part-time development job. I'm looking for something I can do on nights and weekends (say, 20 hours a week) to bring in some extra cash with a minimum of hassle. I have neither the time nor the inclination to build my own product, but I have no scruples about helping someone else build theirs as long as they pay me and respect what I'm looking for.

I found something on Craigslist about a month ago that I thought would work, but I did my job a little too well and the business owner said he wanted to bring me on full-time or not at all. This wasn't a great option, as I really love my day job and can't afford to give up the benefits it offers for the salary he was prepared to offer.

Anyone have any ideas how to find this sort of work and make it stick? Anywhere besides Craigslist that would be worth my time looking?
Show HN: Org-mode reader, setup for a collaborationtool
https://proto.formation.tools/
My hatred for Confluence, Notion et al. has motivated me to explore prototyping a seedling for a collaboration tool that is plaintext-friendly, built on top of Org and is still friendly for non-techies who are familiar with Notion, Google Docs and the likes in terms of usability.

The page currently just renders https://gitlab.com/formation.tools/eng/engineering/-/raw/mai... which is effectively the file we use to align on work internally, so we're dogfooding this. Eventually, I would like to be able to just show any git repo and offer collaborative editing that effects a git commit at the end. For the WYSIWYG bit, I'll be meeting with the author of ProseMirror and CodeMirror over coffee next week (hopefully) to spar on good ways to implement this.

Roast away, good folks! I can use the feedback especially since I don't know if I'm the only idiot who wants to collab just in plaintext (without forcing my colleagues to Emacs).

Code streaming  4:00pm PST: Python, app engine and github api
Hey HN!

I've been experimenting with a new idea that I borrowed from Starcraft 2: Streaming live coding sessions. The idea is to have fun, productive sessions on open source software where I can talk a little bit about what I am doing.

I envision a future where a lot of programmers use their open source, side-project, hobby inspired hacking sessions and that allows a lot more people to learn how to do stuff.

Today (in 2 hours) i will be streaming for 3-4 hours doing a Google App Engine application that interacts with an API I wrote for Noticias Hacker( a spanish version of HN) to get the list of github users. Then i'll use the github api to store some information and try to do a nice dashboard where you can see what the users of NH have been up to in the last week in Github.

I will start from zero, create a GAE app, a github repository and use some task queues and cron jobs.

Please join us @ www.livestream.com/dfectuoso

We will have some people on Skype and hope to get some nice feedback from the chat!

Show HN: Intelligent leads for hackers and startups
http://www.leadmachine.io/
Hey Guys,

We created Leadmachine after a HUGE pivot on ignite100(UK incubator). We could see the pain of all the other startups wasting money and buying poor leads while struggling to find those early customers.

Wouldn't it be cool to have contact details for all websites using Olark or Google analytics while turning over £100,000 in the UK? We can do that with Leadmachine.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have or listen to feedback!
Ask HN: Prove me wrong: email ain't dying
There seem to be lots of people who think email is dead or dying, being replaced by all sorts of others ways of being in touch.

However, I've seen nothing that indicates that email is really dying at all when it comes to business communications.

The universal standard for being in touch is still an email address.

So if you're a believer that email is dead of dying, what's the evidence? As far as I can tell email is going to remain the primary method of business communication for the foreseeable future.
Show HN: Wordle but for Tweets
https://www.birdle.art/
Hey HN

I built this simple app that grabs four popular tweets from the last 24 hours and removes a word from each, so that the missing words spell out a phrase. It's the player's job to guess the missing words.

A key motive for building this was that, to be honest, I was finding much of the news and social media dialogue quite depressing. I thought that if a wholesome or inspirational phrase can be built out of these (often tiresome) tweets, then there would be something nice about that.

The stack included GCloud scheduler (for daily Tweet scraping and automatic puzzle generation), Supabase (which, by the way, is fantastic) and Next / Vercel.

PriceAdvance Beta Launch
http://www.priceadvance.com/
We submitted our app in October not expecting anything and got asked to come talk to YC. We put together a tight demo, couldn't sleep the night before, waited until late Saturday night after the interview to hear they'd decided to pass (it's ok, we still heart YC), and pressed on. We've been cranking ever since returning from Cambridge to roll out the PriceAdvance FireFox addon for the holidays.

We've just launched our beta! And we just landed on the front page of LifeHacker.com (woohoo).

Anyway, we'd love to get some more feedback, comments, suggestions. Thanks!

Show HN: Open Prompts – dataset of 10M Stable Diffusion generations
https://github.com/krea-ai/open-prompts
Open Prompts is the dataset used to build krea.ai. The data comes from the Stability AI Discord and includes around 10M images from 2M prompts. You can use it for creating semantic search engines of prompts, training LLMs, fine-tuning image-to-text models like BLIP, or extracting insights from the data—like the most common combinations of modifiers.

Show HN: Hyperion – Deploy, manage and debug Helm apps across Multiple Clusters
https://github.com/devtron-labs/devtron
Hi Everyone, Prashant here from Devtron. With the community’s help and feedback, we built Hyperion - An Opensource tool to observe, deploy, manage & debug Helm Application on Multiple Clusters. We developed Hyperion as a module that comes with Devtron preinstalled or it can be separately installed.

While there are pre-existing tools like Kubernetes dashboard, Lens, Octant; Hyperion is focused on helm charts.

Some of the features which sets it apart are:
- Deploy, manage, observe and Debug Helm charts across multiple clusters.
A. Install, Manage Helm charts, Applications across multiple Kubernetes clusters (hosted on multiple cloud/on-prem) from a single Hyperion setup.

- Visualize resources deployed via helm charts contextually in a slick UI for easier monitoring and debugging.
A. Hyperion groups your Kubernetes objects deployed via Helm charts and display them in a slick UI, for easier monitoring or debugging. Access pod logs and resource manifests right from the Hyperion UI and even edit them!

- Centralized fine grained Access Management across multiple cluster.
A. Control and give customizable view-only, edit access to users at Project, Environment and Application levels

- View and Edit Kubernetes manifests, grep logs right from the Hyperion dashboard.
A. View and Edit all the Kubernetes resources right from the Hyperion dashboard

We have many more features planned for it in coming weeks.

The coming shortage of helium and how government policy is creating it.

A Job Prize Inspired by the MIT Darpa Network (Balloon) Challenge Solution
http://jobprize.heroku.com/
This is a prize that I put together over the past couple of days. It is inspired by the Network Challenge that DARPA hosted, and that MIT won in such a cool fashion. I am very poor at pursuing jobs in traditional ways, and often times get discouraged scouring Craigslist and other sites. So after seeing the success of the MIT solution, I thought a similar solution might work to find me a job.<p>The site was written in about three days in Ruby on Rails. I'd like to make it look better to reflect my design talent, but I realized that if I wasn't embarrassed by my first release, then I would have waited too long.<p>Even if this doesn't find me a job, it will have at least been an interesting experiment. Thank you.

Show HN: Remove Silence from Videos with Ffmpeg
https://github.com/bambax/Remsi
There was recently a Show HN for a program that lets one remove silence from video files [0]. I was almost certain that ffmpeg could do this...

But after searching for it, it turned out I was wrong: ffmpeg can't do this out of the box, and also can't read input from an EDL file [1].

So I set out to write a solution, as simple as possible: produce a list of select filters that are applied to video and audio, and retain only the non-silent parts.

The 'silencedetect' audio filter detects silences, and produces timestamps for when silences start and end. So one can pipe the output of that to a Python script, that builds an ffmpeg command with the appropriate select filters.

The resulting ffmpeg command can be run to re-encode the video without the silent parts.

Hope this helps.

- - -

Notes:

1/ I did find something somewhat similar to what I ended up doing [2], but it's complicated, and does the video encoding inside of Python. Granted, moviepy uses ffmpeg under the hood, but it's still better if ffmpeg does all the encoding directly.

2/ This solution doesn't produce a myriad of intermediary files that it would recombine afterwards; there is just one encoding of the output video file. 'silencedetect' is very fast, so all in all running this should be pretty fast.

Show HN: I Created a Chrome Extension for PG: TRAB (Tweet Reporter and Blocker)
https://github.com/elbee19/trab
A few days ago I saw this tweet from PG: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1496549841912094733
...and guessed it shouldn't be too hard to make a chrome extension to do this (I had never made a chrome extension before)

So I took a stab at it - took me a bit over a day to make it, and it was fun to put together.

I responded to his tweet with the link to the extension but I'm not sure if he would've seen it.

edit: Looks like I missed the approval notification for the listing of this extension on the chrome store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trab-tweet-reporte...
Tell HN: Land of Lisp's Barski M.D. speaking about Clojure (11/18 DC area)
Conrad Barski M.D., author of "Land of Lisp" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1593272812) will be giving a talk entitled "Land of Lisp: The Clojure-ish Parts" at the National Capital Area Clojure Users Group (CAPCLUG) on November 18, 2010 at 6:15 pm. The meeting will be held at 12021 Sunset Hills Road Suite 400, Reston, VA. Pizza and drinks are provided as part of the admission cost of $0.00 USD (i.e. it's free of course).

The talk will be followed by mingle time whereby you can talk to programmers interested (and at times well versed in) Clojure, Common Lisp, Scheme, Ruby, Java, and the Kent Recursive Calculator. If we're lucky we'll see a live performance of the hit single, "Land of Lisp"! (music video at http://landoflisp.com)

Please consider signing up at the CAPCLUG meeting site (http://www.meetup.com/Cap-Clug/calendar/14802573) so that we know how much food and beverage to provide.

I will be watching this thread for the next 3 days to answer any questions.
Ask HN: when should and shouldn't you open source a project?
I am thinking about open-sourcing a website of mine (or part of it) upon launch.

Alternative question 2: what open source projects have you worked on that have had unexpected benefits?

Alternative question 3: what makes an open source project enjoyable to work on?
Just launched! Asking for news.yc feedback.
http://pikluk.com
This is what we've been working on nights and weekends since February, and we hope the site explains itself.

We have applied for YC program for this winter and still are waiting for a response, but since the coding is done for a modest ver 1.0, we see no reason to keep it in the basement any longer. Therefore we're going with a "slow launch" strategy to get <100 very happy users with kids spending hours in our system. Hopefully this will allow us to figure out potential bugs/usability issues before big PR push.

Technically we are a mixture of online/desktop software with our own local persistence layer written in C++.

Please take a look and let us know how we are doing. Directness and critical thinking are very much welcome!
