npm install --save for Python.

pypkgfreeze

Python's npm install --save

Automatically inserts your currently used package versions to setup.py.

Example

Old setup.py

from setuptools import setup
test_req = ['pytest', ]
setup(
    name='pypkgfreeze',
    install_requires=[
        "Click",
    ],
    tests_require=test_req,
    extras_require={
        'test': test_req
    }
)

New setup.py

from setuptools import setup
test_req = ['pytest==4.0.2', ]  # ADDED VERSION HERE
setup(
    name='pypkgfreeze',
    install_requires=[
        "Click==7.0",  # AND HERE
    ],
    tests_require=test_req,
    extras_require={
        'test': test_req
    }
)

Usage

pkgfreeze. It's that simple.

Installation

pip install pypkgfreeze

Contributing

Thanks! Please read the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

It's a tiny Python module designed to inject versions of pip dependencies into setup.py. I am planning to implement AST for a better code injection (for packages that do not yet exist in setup.py) - So it can somehow resemble npm.

gpujs / gpu.js

GPU Accelerated JavaScript

GPU.js

GPU.js is a JavaScript Acceleration library for GPGPU (General purpose computing on GPUs) in JavaScript. GPU.js will automatically compile simple JavaScript functions into shader language and run them on the GPU. In case a GPU is not available, the functions will still run in regular JavaScript.

What is this sorcery?

Matrix multiplication written in GPU.js:

const gpu = new GPU()
// Create the GPU accelerated function from a kernel
// function that computes a single element in the
// 512 x 512 matrix (2D array). The kernel function
// is run in a parallel manner in the GPU resulting
// in very fast computations! (...sometimes)
const matMult = gpu.createKernel(function(a, b) {
    var sum = 0
    for (var i = 0; i < 512; i++) {
        sum += a[this.thread.y][i]

Shout out for a personal project im involved in - gpu.rocks/ - running JS in the GPU (via hackerish webgl).

robertleeplummerjr (the current main maintainer) is always looking for more contribution of ideas, and usage of this crazy project. And possibly just more random cool stuff on pushing the very upper limit of what a web-application could do.

PS: I dun see the comment template

[Ben Halpern]

This is so cool.

[Ben Halpern]

Oh whoops, I included the template in the last post and then copied and pasted this week without the template. Still not sure whether or not the template makes sense 😄

Everyone is welcome to chip in on interesting dev.to features via the repo

I loved this post outlining a really fab contribution:

Launch your own dev.to 🐳 server - with a single command (almost)!

That PR is actually still a work in progress if anyone wants to check it out and/or chip in:

[WIP] Feature : docker-run.sh script + docker container build #1844

PicoCreator commented on Feb 22, 2019

What type of PR is this? (check all applicable)

• [ ] Refactor
• [x] Feature
• [ ] Bug Fix
• [ ] Documentation Update

Description

A single bash script that helps quickly setup either a DEV or DEMO environment

bash-3.2$ ./docker-run.sh 

#---
#
# This script will perform the following steps ... 
#
# 1) Stop and remove any docker container with the name 'dev-to-postgres' and 'dev-to'
# 2) Reset any storage directories if RUN_MODE starts with 'RESET-'
# 3) Build the dev.to docker image, with the name of 'dev-to:dev' or 'dev-to:demo'
# 4) Deploy the postgres container, mounting '_docker-storage/postgres' with the name 'dev-to-postgres'
# 5) Deploy the dev-to container, with the name of 'dev-to-app', and sets up its port to 3000
#
# To run this script properly, execute with the following (inside the dev.to repository folder)...
# './docker-run.sh [RUN_MODE] [Additional docker envrionment arguments]'
#
# Alternatively to run this script in 'interactive mode' simply run
# './docker-run.sh INTERACTIVE-DEMO'
#
#---
#---
#
# RUN_MODE can either be the following
#
# - 'DEV'  : Start up the container into bash, with a quick start guide
# - 'DEMO' : Start up the container, and run dev.to (requries ALGOLIA environment variables)
# - 'RESET-DEV'   : Resets postgresql and upload data directory for a clean deployment, before running as DEV mode
# - 'RESET-DEMO'  : Resets postgresql and upload data directory for a clean deployment, before running as DEMO mode
# - 'INTERACTIVE-DEMO' : Runs this script in 'interactive' mode to setup the 'DEMO'
#
# So for example to run a development container in bash its simply
# './docker-run.sh DEV'
#
# To run a simple demo, with some dummy data (replace <?> with the actual keys)
# './docker-run.sh DEMO -e ALGOLIASEARCH_APPLICATION_ID=<?> -e ALGOLIASEARCH_SEARCH_ONLY_KEY=<?> -e ALGOLIASEARCH_API_KEY=<?>'
#
# Finally to run a working demo, you will need to provide either...
# './docker-run.sh .... -e GITHUB_KEY=<?> -e GITHUB_SECRET=<?> -e GITHUB_TOKEN=<?>
#
# And / Or ...
# './docker-run.sh .... -e TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=<?> -e TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=<?> -e TWITTER_KEY=<?> -e TWITTER_SECRET=<?>
#
# Note that all of this can also be configured via ENVIRONMENT variables prior to running the script
#
#---

And does the deployment using docker. Includes option to do a reset prior to deployment.

Added to documentation?

• sample readme for docker hub : github.com/uilicious/dev.to-docker...
• cloud.docker.com/u/uilicious/repos...
• I can modify readme if this looks good?

Textpattern is a free, open source PHP content management system that has been around for over 15 years and has a loyal and friendly base of users and devs - but we are always welcoming to new contributors!

For the next version we hope to improve the image handling and manipulation tools in the CMS, currently one of the weak areas of our platform admittedly, and would love some help from people with an interest in coding around image handling (especially those with ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick/GD Library experience).

Would love some help here:
github.com/AdamGold/api-fetch-wrapper

It's a very raw fetch wrapper designed to help making quick requests to a custom API server without hassle. Currently I have only implemented an automatic token validator, but planning to add more features!

Comic-Con Museum's Fan Forge, both backend and frontend

Yes, that's the real Comic-Con. They're setting up a permanent museum in San Diego, and they wanted to at least a little involve the public in the exhibit curation. Those bits are how it'll happen. If you have experience with Java Spring or React, take a look!
