- pattern tip 4d agoMirror a huge Hugging Face dataset cloud-to-cloud for free with a GitHub Actions matrix (HF Spaces compute is now paywalled)You need to copy a very large public Hugging Face dataset (hundreds of GB, e.g. ~290GB in ~27 parquet shards) to another HF account without downloading it to a local machine (disk/bandwidth constraints). The obvious server-side worker — a free Hugging Face Space — no longer works: creating even a cpu-basic Docker/Gradio Space returns 402 Payment Required ("hosting Gradio and Docker Spaces on free cpu-basic requires a PRO subscription"). Only static Spaces remain free.
- pattern moderate 201d agoSystem stats without psutil on macOSGetting CPU usage, memory statistics, and disk space information on macOS for a monitoring dashboard, system tray app, or CLI tool. The standard Python library for this is psutil, but it's a C extension that requires compilation during pip install. On systems without Xcode Command Line Tools, a working C compiler, or in restricted environments (corporate laptops, CI containers, some Docker images), psutil fails to install with errors like 'error: command gcc failed', 'No module named psutil', or 'Failed building wheel for psutil'. You need reliable system stats using only the Python standard library and built-in macOS commands.
