Ask HN: What have you created that deserves a second chance on HN?
We all know there's a big luck component to breaking off the /new

| How it works? If you know that a certain protein is produced by a

| vaccine will cause the human immune system to try to eliminate
| the cells that produce that protein.
|
| The most obvious use is in the case of some cancers cells which
| produce a certain protein. These proteins are named "tumor
| specific antigen". It is an antigenic substance which is produced
| only by tumor cells. Tumor antigens are useful tumor markers in
| identifying tumor cells that are targeted by the immune system
| when it is primed by a peptide vaccine.
|
| Another interesting thing is that cancerous cells evolves quickly
| to try to evade therapies, here it's very easy to design a new
| peptide vaccine, for example every week.
|
| As the name hints at, it's a proof of concept, I designed several
| variations. A good thing is that you don't need a lot of CPU
| power to run it. I use a cheap VPS from OVH.

| https://scipipe.org - A pipeline tool for shell commands by a

|
| Github link: https://github.com/scipipe/scipipe
|
| There are many pipeline tools for shell commands, but a majority
| has one or more limitations in their API which makes certain
| complex pipelines impossible or really hard to write.
|
| We were pushing the limits of all the tools we tried, so
| developed our own, and implemented it in Go, with a declarative
| API for defining the data flow dependencies, instead of inventing
| yet another DSL. This has allowed us great flexibility in
| developing also complex pipelines, e.g. combining parameter
| sweeps nested with cross-validation implemented as workflow
| constructs.
|
| SciPipe is also unique in providing an audit report for every
| single output of the workflow, in a structured JSON format. A
| helper tool allows converting these reports to either an HTML
| report, a PDF, or a Bash script that will generate the one
| accompanying output file from scratch.
|
| An extra cool things is that, because the audit reports live
| alongside output files, if you run a scipipe workflow that uses
| files generated by another scipipe workflow, it will pick up also
| all the history for the input files generated by this earlier
| workflow, meaning that you get a 100% complete audit report, even
| if your analysis spans multiple workflows!

| plugin to make Luigi a tad bit more data flow-like, although
| only on the surface).
|
| I'm maintaining and continuing to develop SciPipe, although

| and gamma-correct blending) - Linear and radial gradients
| - Patterns (with repeat modes and bi-cubic resampling) -
| Line caps and line joins (handling high curvature) - Dash
| patterns and dash offsets - Transforms - Lines,
| quadratic and cubic Beziers, arcs, and rectangles - Text
| (very basic, but does its own TTF font file parsing!) -
| Raster images (i.e., sprites) - Clipping (via masking)
| - Compositing modes (Porter-Duff) - Drop shadows with
| Gaussian blurs
|
| I also uncovered a number of interesting browser <canvas> quirks
| along the way with the HTML5 port of my testing suite.
