New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Forensic analysis for 50 yr old tape

Ask HN: Forensic analysis for 50 yr old tape 14 by passer_byer | 10 comments on Hacker News. Im posting for a friend who moved recently. He found a magnetic tape that was written over 50 years ago. He says, if he recalls correctly, the tape would have contained 2 file, EBCDIC encoded, written by an IBM utility using a tape sub-system attached to a s/360 processor running MVS. Assume the IBM guys have this setup in some dusty basement in upstate New York. This is a 2 part question. What is the best method for attempting to read this mag tape? That’s the main question. Second, what is the probability of success here? Assume the tape was kept in a climate controlled home.

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Ploomber Cloud (YC W22) – run notebooks at scale without infrastructure

Show HN: Ploomber Cloud (YC W22) – run notebooks at scale without infrastructure 23 by idomi | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hi, we’re Ido & Eduardo, the founders of Ploomber. We’re launching Ploomber Cloud today, a service that allows data scientists to scale their work from their laptops to the cloud. Our open-source users ( https://bit.ly/3gCMArH ) usually start their work on their laptops; however, often, their local environment falls short, and they need more resources. Typical use cases run out of memory or optimize models to squeeze out the best performance. Ploomber Cloud eases this transition by allowing users to quickly move their existing projects into the cloud without extra configurations. Furthermore, users can request custom resources for specific tasks (vCPUs, GPUs, RAM). Both of us experienced this challenge firsthand. Analysis usually starts in a local notebook or script, and whenever we wanted to run our code on a larger infrastructure we had to refactor the code
