Show HN: Investorsexchange.jl – parse trade-level stock market data in Julia Backstory: I wanted to play with intraday stock data but couldn't find a free dataset anywhere. IEXCloud [1] offers API access to 1-minute granularity intraday historical price data, but I was worried that it could get expensive or unwieldy to build up a substantial dataset via API calls. Plus, IEX gives out their raw data for free. I probably should have just used the IEXTools python library [2] to parse IEX's raw data dumps, but I was working on a Julia project, so it felt more thematically appropriate to build a new tool from scratch. I haven't been actively using InvestorsExchange.jl a lot lately, but it's made me the proud owner of a 50GB SQLite DB dump covering several years of trade data, and I think it would be awesome if I could help folks in the HN community more quickly build up this kind of dataset for their own curiosity or research. Feedback is also greatly appreciated! [1] https://ift.tt/H1XjWad [2] https://ift.tt/OVmvZ7a https://ift.tt/TCXtmlj August 31, 2022 at 12:16PM

Help Make Muni Safe for Everyone

Help Make Muni Safe for Everyone
By Mariana Maguire

New Muni “no harassment” symbol

The safety of our customers and staff is a top priority for the SFMTA. That is why we are launching MuniSafe – a campaign to increase reporting of gender-based harassment through recently expanded incident reporting options.

If you experience or witness an incident, help us make MuniSafe by reporting it using the Muni Feedback form at SFMTA.com/MuniFeedback, the 311 mobile app or by calling 311.

Non-English speakers should call 311 for language-assisted reporting.

Gender-based harassment takes many forms, affects many people and is absolutely not tolerated on Muni. Survivors should report incidents to the San Francisco Police Department if they feel comfortable doing so. By also reporting incidents directly to the SFMTA, you will help us track events that occur in our system so we can build better safety responses and direct resources to reduce gender-based harassment.

New car cards that will be installed soon in vehicles system-wide with information about gender-based harassment reporting.

Use the Muni Feedback Form at SFMTA.com/MuniFeedback

People should use the Muni Feedback form to report incidents at SFMTA.com/MuniFeedback. Under “Type of Feedback,” select “Complaint,” related to “Muni Service” to access the “Safety and security” topic and the specific topic of “Gender-based harassment.” You have the option to remain anonymous, or to request a follow up.

Your reports made on the form or by contacting 311 go directly to the SFMTA’s Security and Investigations Division. Information is confidential, but descriptions of incidents and behaviors may be shared with the San Francisco Police Department as necessary to support investigation and improve Muni safety.

Our staff will use the information provided in the report to internally investigate the incident, support the survivor and cooperate with law enforcement as needed. Staff will also analyze data from reports to identify and track trends and develop better safety approaches.

Personal Safety and Bystander Tips

• Always stay alert and aware of your surroundings.
• When traveling late at night or alone, sit close to the operator.
• If someone is making you feel uncomfortable, move to a different part of the vehicle.
• Ask for bystander assistance or call the operator for assistance when necessary.
• If you see someone in a vulnerable situation or witness a possible incident, ask the individual if they are ok or need assistance. Offer to stay nearby.

The MuniSafe campaign is a multi-functional effort led by SFMTA’s Security Division to improve safety systems, processes and outcomes. SFMTA’s Safety Equity Initiative, announced in April 2022, is an integral part of the MuniSafe campaign. Learn more at SFMTA.com/SafetyEquity. If you have questions about this initiative, please email MuniSafe@SFMTA.com.

Show HN: A short sci-fi story written with GPT-3 and illustrated with DALL-E 2 https://ift.tt/JS4YbsD

Show HN: A short sci-fi story written with GPT-3 and illustrated with DALL-E 2 Hi there HN, Disclaimer: I've submitted a Show HN as well as the link for this general project before, but particularly like this one short story so want to submit one for it specifically. Hope it's not considered spammy! I and a collaborator who writes sci-fi just released the short story "The Great Filter Button" - https://ift.tt/i7GYOny Here's why it's relevant to HN: most of the text for it was generated by GPT-3 (with human curation, using SudoWrite) and it was entirely illustrated using DALL-E 2 and MidJourney, and a bit of DreamStudio aka Stable Diffusion (of course with human selection of prompts) AND it narrated using neural voice synthesis (via BeyondWords). And I think it came out very well! To my mind it is a pretty good example of how the newest commercial tools by powered by learned media synthesis models can be leveraged by humans to make art. It also shows some of the limits: DALLE-2, MidJourney, and Stable Diffusion all have trouble with more complex prompts and don't follow various aspects of them, the voice synthesis is still pretty robot-y, and the GPT-3 written parts are heavily guided by human text (and the whole story is quite short). We plan to keep exploring these realm of human-AI creative collaboration by releasing weekly short stories with this newsletter, and would love feedback, suggestions, or even entire submissions of your own creative work done using AI. Feel free to just comment here on HN, email us at contact@storiesby.ai, or comment here - https://ift.tt/JiIt8Ha Last thought: even with AI doing the "heavy lifting" of writing and illustration, a great deal of creative decision making is still left up to us with respect to subject matter, style, formatting, etc. I hypothesize that sturgeon's law will remain true in the age of AI-generated text/images (most of everything will be crap), and the job of literary agents, producers, etc. will just become far more involved. Sort of like A24 is mostly a distributor (and to some extent producer) yet have made a huge name for themselves - this may become the norm. August 31, 2022 at 12:07AM

Muni Color Schemes Through the Years

Muni Color Schemes Through the Years
By Jeremy Menzies

Over the 110-year history of the SF Municipal Railway, our transit vehicles have been painted in six main color schemes (known as “liveries”). Here’s a short look at those paint jobs, from the oldest streetcars to our newest buses. 

The timelines of these liveries overlapped and old colors were not always phased out even after a new color was introduced. Not included here are the many colors of cable cars, historic vehicles, variations on the main colors, or any special paint jobs used.

The Original Grey and Red: 1912-1939

When Muni started in 1912, vehicle paint colors were used to distinguish one transit service from another. Muni’s very first streetcars were painted grey with red windows and roof. Gold was used for lettering, vehicle numbers, and decorative lines. This combination gave the cars a simple yet elegant look.

Seen here at Green Division rail yard around 1980, Streetcar 1 was built in San Francisco in 1912. It has been restored and operates today during special events.

Magic Carpet Cars Bring “Blue & Gold”: 1939-1946

In 1939, five special new streetcars arrived in the city wearing the second major color scheme for Muni. These cars came painted in a deep blue with bright yellow windows and roof. A small red pinstripe ran along the edge of the roof above the windows. Many older streetcars and buses were re-painted in these colors to help unify the look of the system.

Today, Streetcar 1010 is painted with Muni’s blue and gold colors. The Western Railway Museum has the only surviving streetcar that originally had this paint scheme.

Muni Gets its “Wings”: 1946-1975

A short time after the blue and gold colors came out, a new paint job was launched in 1946. After merging with the Market Street Railway company in 1944, Muni needed a way to unify the two organizations. The new color scheme was a good way to show the public there was no longer two competing transit systems. Known as the green and cream “wings” livery, it used green on the body, windows, and roof of vehicles. Cream was used for the front, stripes above and below the windows, and a decorative design reminiscent of wing tips on the sides. This livery is perhaps one of the most well-known among older-generation San Franciscans and could even be seen on some vehicles into the early 1980s.

This photo taken in the mid 1970s shows the “green and cream wings” livery once worn by hundreds of Muni vehicles. This car was delivered to Muni in 1948 and still operates today.

A New Look in “Maroon and Gold”: 1969-1975

Following the green and cream colors came a short-lived but notable paint scheme came in 1969. Muni was trying to revamp its look and introduced the “Maroon and Gold” paint job with a new logo and driver uniforms. The styling of the new logo and maroon color were borrowed from the California Street Cable Cars but first used on brand new buses from General Motors.

This photo from 1969 shows a new GM bus with Muni’s fresh logo and paint job. Today, Muni has one of this type of bus in its vintage bus fleet.

“Sunset” Livery Rebrands Muni: 1975-1995

Perhaps one of the most well-known paint schemes was the “Sunset” livery unveiled in 1975. This time, Muni contracted with the world-famous advertising company Walter Landor & Associates for a complete branding package. The new look included everything from a squiggly “Worm” logo, vehicles painted white with “California Poppy” and “Sunset Glow” stripes, new bus stop signage, and matching brown driver uniforms. The new brand was launched at a perfect time. Hundreds of new buses and trains were coming in and Muni was about to open the Muni Metro subway system. Together, these changes really gave riders a fresh, modern transit system.

Muni’s new 1975 colors were meant to provide a clean look for the system.  Today, many riders remember this paint scheme and logo with nostalgia.

Returning to the Roots with “Silver & Red”: 1995-Present

Starting in 1995, Muni returned to its roots with a revised version of the original grey and red color scheme. First used on new light rail vehicles known as “Breda” cars, the new paint features silver with red striping. These colors were phased in over nearly two decades in three variations, depending on the type of vehicle. Today, every bus and rail car in the system, excluding historic vehicles, uses the silver and red look.

While the colors today fit right in with the modern era, they harken back to the original grey and red of Muni’s very first streetcar.

Aside from the six major color combinations listed here, there were at least five more that have been used at one time or another. Some of these were variations on the main color theme and others were used only on certain vehicles.

Show HN: I used DallE to create default avatars on my Creator community website https://ift.tt/TG6Xfhm

Show HN: I used DallE to create default avatars on my Creator community website I'm an indie dev and I built a community for creators to get together and collaborate with each other. Mostly for amateur creators, but some famous ones use it as well. It has about 700k users so far. There are about 100k of those users who don't bother to upload an avatar, so they've had a boring default avatar for nearly 7 years. Today, I used my credits on DallE to do make them a bit more fun. Since the creators self-identify, I was able to create specific kinds of avatars for them. For example, if a creator is a writer, my DallE prompt would be: "an oil painting portrait of a serious-looking owl, standing in front of a typewriter" Voice Actor: "oil painting portrait of a robot who is made out of a microphone, wearing a hat and headphones" Comic Illustrator. This one was a little more tough, so I chose 'tablet' as my key object: "Oil painting portrait of a brooding chameleon, wearing headphones and a hoodie, standing in front of tablet" Producer: "Oil painting portrait of a happy hedgehog with headphones on, wearing sunglasses, standing in front of a megaphone" All four images on this thread: https://twitter.com/_buf/status/1564327370219261954 Overall, I generated over 200+ new avatars. What a fantastic bit of tech! August 30, 2022 at 02:02AM

Show HN: SaaS for analyzing Bitcoin price movements https://ift.tt/Gg7Z8W3

Show HN: SaaS for analyzing Bitcoin price movements Hello everyone! Our software offers a SaaS for analyzing Bitcoin price movements. We built an MVP model which recognizes levels in which BTC is at the top or bottom of the cycle. It is primarily intended for investors who are not financially sophisticated as a possible help to protect their investment. A short story about the creation of the product: A few of us, friends and ourselves, have always been maddened by the regular loss of the largest part of unrealized profit during bear markets which tend to be very hard on retail investors.On the other hand, a lot of friends blindly invested into bitcoin at ridiculous price levels based on hypes, bad instagram and YouTube influencers and mouth of word. We think that a large part of BTC and crypto investors live in a similar situation. With this goal, we teamed up with experts in the field of data science and finance, and created an algorithm that gives the BTC price score based on crucial market parameters. This score shows excellent results in real time and on backtesting. Our ultimate goal is to create a platform with various features, which will help retail investors to better navigate through the market, and to protect them from large losses. Therefore, we assumed that our USP has its audience among people who invest in BTC, and who had similar experiences in the bear market as we did. With the help of a landing page and paid Ads we want to test if a product market fit is possible with such a service. Unfortunately this turned out harder than we though. The problem lies in the fact the most popular social networks, among them Twitter as well, have problems with crypto advertisements. Although by definition we do not provide any financial product or services, not even financial advice, it may be that our service is interpreted that way and that we belong to a group where the space for marketing on social platforms is limited, rightly or wrongly. And we don’t know if we can change or adjust it at all, which drastically slows down our strategy of defining the product market fit. With that, we ask for feedback or advises to the following questions: -What do you think of our product? And do you think it is an idea that could be useful for BTC investors? If you don’t think so, how would you change/improve the product? -Is our product, like it is now, considered as financial advice? And is there anyway we can differentiate this kind of product from such a label? -How would you implement the product market fit strategy of our product in the fastest and most favorable way, if you could not publish advertisements on social networks? We are very grateful for any constructive advice or idea! You can find out more on our landing page (link above). Thank you!

Show HN: Hangman meets Wordle webapp in Angular https://ift.tt/BAipXM4

Show HN: Hangman meets Wordle webapp in Angular Hey HN, I am a novice web developer, and I built a new webapp game in Angular that combines the game play of Hangman and Wordle. I chose this project because I wanted to learn Angular, while also developing something useful. I have some prior backend experience. And, I was pleasantly surprised with how much you can achieve in the pure JS/Typescript these days. For my app, the backend only sends the daily puzzle data in JSON, while the entire game logic and interactions are completely implemented in the frontend. I wrote around 4000 lines of the frontend code for this project. For me, the best part was RxJS integration in Angular. It also had a fair amount of learning curve. However, once you have learned the basics, it saves a lot of redundant boilerplate code and makes the code more readable and clean. You can play the game for free and there is no sign-up required: https://10letters.app The game does not save any user data at the server. All data is saved in the local storage. So, you can play the game again in the incognito mode, or after clearing your browser cache. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to add them in the comments. Thanks! https://10letters.app August 28, 2022 at 02:37AM

Show HN: Browse HN Together in Three.js Hey HN, We’re Philip, Amby, and Declan, and we made “multiplayer virtual computers” that you can embed anywhere, including 3D spaces. We decided to build this because we noticed that embedding third-party apps and websites can be a nightmare due to incompatible platforms, security issues, and poor UX. Adding multiplayer functionality to these embeds makes this problem exponentially more difficult. On the backend, we’re spinning up a VM and running a resource-optimized fork of Chromium which we then stream to participants via WebRTC. Since we’re hosting the servers running the applications, multiple users can connect and control the virtual computer seamlessly, and their client just needs to handle a video stream. If you want to add multiplayer virtual computers to your own app, you can sign up on https://ift.tt/YwsozrD , grab a free API key, and throw the provided embed URL in an iframe in your app. You can also play around more with the Three.js demo in our interactive sandbox: https://ift.tt/rXtZDGn If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to comment or shoot me an email at declan@hyperbeam.com.

It removes excess navigation, usernames, saving/reporting features, upvotes, voting tools, account access, and styling. Essentially it’s a lurker’s tool.

Show HN: Commandline tool for protecting data using TouchID+Secure Enclave Toucli is a tool I made to solve a specific problem on my personal MacBook, where I had to pass in sensitive data like API keys to 3rd party applications on the commandline, but wanted to encrypt those keys on disk and require the physical presence of TouchID to decrypt/access them. As I state in the readme, for production and office environments a proper external system would be better, but for my single personal machine Toucli solved my problems without needing any external running service. It was also an excuse to use Swift and Xcode for the first time, which I had wanted to do for some time. https://ift.tt/uV0bYQo August 25, 2022 at 01:47PM

Show HN: New UI for Ec2instances.info https://ift.tt/AXfCqRD

Show HN: New UI for Ec2instances.info Hey HN, 10 years after the project began we have updated the UI for the cloud server comparison site known as EC2Instances.info. This refresh brings a sticky filter bar so you can scroll and see what filters are applied, a more compact navbar, and improved UX for comparing instances. I've also fixed numerous long standing UI bugs including: comparisons now load correctly on RDS and ElastiCache, sort by max ENI works, sort by RDS instance storage works, and all dropdowns have consistent behavior. For maintainers and contributors, all the frontend libraries are upgraded to their latest versions, https://ift.tt/IVd48TC . Going forward, we are aware that the homepage size is quite large and have plans to address this. We have tried to be good stewards of this project and evolve it carefully. Eager to hear what you think of the new UI! https://ift.tt/p5y7Vsm August 25, 2022 at 01:29AM

Show HN: Digs.fm – For passionate music explorers (like Goodreads but for music) https://ift.tt/b0BUDlY

Show HN: Digs.fm – For passionate music explorers (like Goodreads but for music) Hello everyone! As someone who's constantly on the look for new music to discover and being very deliberate about the things I'm listening, I needed a better way to organize the albums I want to listen to, listened and liked. And also I would like to see the discoveries of other folks who I know I like. So I started creating the tool I wish I had in the first place. In Digs, the basic idea is that: - you can add music releases (albums, EPs, singles, mixes) in three lists: Want to Listen, Listened, Digged. You can also use tags and notes to better organize these lists. - you get a public profile where your activity is visible (i.e. what you added to your lists). Example profile: https://digs.fm/alskn . - you can add other people as friends. Then you'll see their activity in your home feed. - you can either like or add a comment to any activity of your friends (or yours) - you can explicitly recommend a release to one of your friends You can think of it like Goodreads, but for music. I would assume it's mostly targeted to people that like to listen whole albums and would like to keep track of what albums/mixes they want to listen to, sometime in the future. This is very early yet and there are a lot of rough edges. You can find a few screenshots of the basic functionality in the homepage, from where you can also create an account - https://digs.fm . I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks in advance! --------- EDIT: I figured it's worth expanding a bit on some highlights: - In the search box, apart from searching, you can copy/paste any release URL from Discogs/Spotify/Bandcamp/Mixcloud/MusicBrainz and it will basically fetch the release and then you can add it to your lists. - There are browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome, so that when you're on some of the aforementioned sites, and you stumbled upon an interesting album, you can click the extension icon and the item will be added to your "Want to Listen" list. - For certain releases, you'll notice there's an embedded web player, for convenience. https://digs.fm August 22, 2022 at 09:26PM

Show HN: Brew.fm – Let bots discover new music on Spotify for you Use Spotify? This tool will automate your music discovery for you. Join here (100% perpetually free with no strings attached): https://brew.fm Some time ago, I built and showed HN[1] brew.fm, a tool helping artists remix each other’s work. It had been quiet, and I remembered how fun it was to work with the Spotify API, so I repurposed the tool to solve one of my own problems: missing out on new music of my favorite artists. I shared it on Reddit yesterday[2], and this seems to hit a spot for more people: so far 833 people connected their Spotify account. How it works: The tool simply shows your top 50 artists on Spotify over short, medium and long term, and checks those artists for new music. If you select a playlist, every artist involved in the tracks will be checked for new music, after which new releases are shown sorted by most recent release date. Here’s a video of me demoing the tool: https://youtu.be/Nh2Ognb4PgU . Enjoy! Very open to feedback.

Show HN: Modifying Clang for a Safer, More Explicit C++ https://ift.tt/ci62AyV

Show HN: Modifying Clang for a Safer, More Explicit C++ Modified C++ Inspired by the paper "Some Were Meant for C" by Stephen Kell, I decided to show that it's possible to iterate C++ to be safer, more explicit, and less error-prone. Here's a possible starting point: I didn't invent a new language or compiler, but took the world's best compiler, clang, and modified it to begin iterating towards a new furture of C++. Naming things is hard, so I call this 'Modified C++'. Some of the following could be implemented as tooling in a linter or checker, but the idea is to update the compiler directly. I also wanted to learn more about clang. This compiler needs a flag to enable/disable this functionality so that existing library code can be used with a 'diagnostic ignored' pragma. You can build clang using the normal non-bootstrap process and you'll be left with a clang that compiles C++ but with the following modifications: - All basic types (excluding pointers and references) are const by default and may be marked 'mutable' to allow them to be changed after declaration - Lambda capture lists must be explicit (no [&] or [=], by themselves) - Braces are required for conditional statements, case and default statements within switches, and loops - Implicit conversions to bool are prohibited (e.g., pointers must be compared against nullptr/NULL) - No goto support - Explicit 'rule of six' for classes must be programmer-implemented (default, copy, and move c'tors, copy and move assignment, d'tor) - No C style casts Here's an example program that's valid in Modified C++: mutable int main(int, char**) { mutable int x = 0; return x; } Here's another that will fail to compile: mutable int main(int, char**) { int x = 1; x = 0; // x is constant return x; } I'd like your feedback. Future changes I'm thinking about are: - feature flag for modified c++ to enable/disable with 'diagnostic ignored' pragma, to support existing headers and libraries - support enum classes only - constructor declarations are explicit by default - namespaces within classes - normalize lambda and free function syntax - your ideas here https://ift.tt/HNyand0 August 18, 2022 at 02:21AM

Show HN: An HTML endless runner under 900 lines without frameworks or libraries My wife and I recently submitted to a mobile game jam on Newgrounds (yes, it's still around). What started as a question of whether we could do it somehow morphed into whether we could do without so many of the seemingly needless complications rampant in our respective industries. My wife thus did all the art as traditional frame-by-frame animation (no puppets or tweening) and I preceded without a game engine. I did use a pre-processor that gives JS a Lisp syntax (Parenscript), because C-syntax is gross. We hope the end result, while definitely of small scope, will serve to inspire some thought as to what is and isn't needed in your next project. https://ift.tt/Y46vXSa August 19, 2022 at 11:12AM

Show HN: Pi-hole deployed at the edge on Fly.io and accessed via TailScale https://ift.tt/2IGQh4g

Show HN: Pi-hole deployed at the edge on Fly.io and accessed via TailScale Hi, I just saw this tweet[^1] by @QuinnyPig that mentions accessing your Pi-hole while traveling thanks to TailScale and wondered how to deploy Pi-hole at the edge, instead of a home lab, for improved latency. My simple solution involves running it on Fly.io to make it easy to relocate anywhere, and embedding tailscale into the same firecracker VM (né docker container) to keep the infra dead simple and cheap. Naively deploying a publicly accessible DNS resolver is not ideal[^2] so the main constraint was to secure the VM by 1) keeping all public ports closed and 2) having Pi-hole listen only on the private network interface created by TailScale. It's all very straightforward but it's noticeably improved my bandwidth usage and page loading times across my laptop and mobile phone, so I figured I'd share. Suggestions for improvement are also welcome! [^1]: https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig/status/1558521941538983936 [^2]: https://ift.tt/Pz1WaNH... https://ift.tt/HAau2Mz August 19, 2022 at 12:33AM

Show HN: We built an AirTag-like network for sensors that talk to your servers https://ift.tt/8WJekoy

Show HN: We built an AirTag-like network for sensors that talk to your servers Hi, we’re Simon, Don and Dan, and we’re developing infrastructure for enabling Bluetooth devices that can communicate with your web backend (we’re calling it Blecon). Think your own AirTags network, but for sensors talking to your servers. We’ve got most of the underlying tech for the network infrastructure in place, and now have samples of a first manufacturer device that supports Blecon - a small rechargeable accelerometer tag. Not much live yet, but we put a summary of this first device and how it works in the link (plus you’ll find some early developer docs for the network infrastructure itself). TL;DR the tag logs timestamped motion and orientation events, and then sends the data using Blecon when phones come nearby. The data arrives at your specified network endpoint as JSON HTTP POSTs, so it is nice and flexible for integrating into any web infrastructure or framework you might be using. The customer use case for this device is actually monitoring when and how long equipment is being used, but motion and orientation can be used to infer a lot of things. Interested in what ideas you have for services you could build with just this first accelerometer sensor?! We’re still developing the network product, but interested in feedback, ideas, questions and use-cases. And if you are really interested we do have samples of this sensor so feel free to reach out if you have a service you’d like to try building with it! https://ift.tt/EuldzVA August 19, 2022 at 12:59AM

Show HN: A network for Americans who can't afford health insurance https://ift.tt/lfh5G6Y

Show HN: A network for Americans who can't afford health insurance Hey HN, launched this recently and looking for early feedback. The problem to solve: In the US, patients who can't afford health insurance are regularly charged the highest prices for healthcare - prices that are deliberately inflated by 2x-4x above market. But theoretically they should be getting the best prices, because they are paying without the expenses and delays of insurance claims. However, insurance contracts are written in a way that prevents anyone outside a network from getting better prices than insurers. The Pocketero solution: An affordable non-insurance network for people who pay out of pocket for healthcare, especially those who can't afford health insurance. Network members get the best prices from network providers. If you have any comments about the design, implementation, business model, etc. - please share your thoughts! https://ift.tt/ODa2rTj August 17, 2022 at 03:41AM

So far he seems to be liking it and getting better. I manually built and open-sourced the dictionary on github, so anyone can contribute and add more languages. I’m doing that manually because I want to do that in the most easy and didactic way possible, with a very accurate translation and most used words. Ideally, in the next version, it will be using some sort of API or automated tool. I’m not sure how to make the dictionary work effectively because each description needs a very close translation (ideally as exact as possible). We’re not able to just copy words and descriptions because they won’t necessarily line up with the other language translations. We’re currently manually translating to be accurate, though ideally we can figure out a good way to scale this, if anyone has suggestions please let me know! https://ift.tt/PqlhAi0 August 17, 2022 at 12:46AM

Show HN: XaaS Pricing – track 25k+ SaaS company pricing strategies in one place https://ift.tt/ZokcdPS

Show HN: XaaS Pricing – track 25k+ SaaS company pricing strategies in one place Hi all - I'm completely new here! I come from a market analyst background - I've done large B2B tech pricing research and consulting projects for over 10 years. I wanted to figure out a way to scale what we do in those projects to a broader set of SaaS companies that can't pay the six-figure plus price points those projects often carry. Today is our first step on figuring that out - we've created XaaS Pricing, a tool that let's you analyze the pricing strategies of 25,000 SaaS vendors across 50+ metrics, on-demand, with real-time updates when pricing strategies change. I hope it's helpful and look forward to feedback and questions from the HN community! https://ift.tt/Ky5othG August 16, 2022 at 02:31AM

Show HN: OxideDB – Teach PostgreSQL Database How to Speak MongoDB Wire Protocol https://ift.tt/3AbWC9V

Show HN: OxideDB – Teach PostgreSQL Database How to Speak MongoDB Wire Protocol Hey everyone! I have created a product that relies on MongoDB for a document store but doesn't really need any of the distributed features to really justify having a hosted MongoDB or DocumentDB instance. Now that we're trying to turn this into a product, we're seeing that some companies have a little bit of resistance around managing yet another database. Most of our clients already have and manage PostgreSQL in one form or another. I knew that PostgreSQL already offered first class JSON support, but I didn't want to rewrite the application data layer from scratch if I could avoid it. That's when I started researching if there was a "proxy" that would translate the MongoDB protocol - that I was completely ignorant about - into PostgreSQL. To my surprise there was nothing ready for production use but I found MangoDB that later on became FerretDB. I delved into the code and was in love with the idea. The team around is really nice, but I found that they had greater ambitions - they basically wanted to offer multiple backends, namely Tigris, on top of PostgreSQL. On the other hand, I have been waiting to find an excuse to delve deeply into the rust ecosystem but never really found something I was passionate about until I had the idea of challenging myself to see if I could learn about the protocol that MongoDB uses by relying on their public documentation and the hints I found on FerretDB. Fast forward 3 weeks and I have something I am almost comfortable on sharing yet super excited to get feedback on. It's in very early stages, and it's work from someone that is not yet super comfortable with the stack. Please don't be too harsh and keep in mind this is the beginning of a journey for me that I embarked out of pure joy on getting a tiny bit better on rust and making things click internally. Thank you for your time and if you would like to help me on this project please be more than welcome to reach out, either here, via email or directly on the GitHub repo. (heavy breathing before clicking submit :-) ) PS: I forgot to mention, but another thing I added to my toolbelt while developing this was about creating parsers. In order to transform MongoDB JSON to SQL queries, I ported an existing library from the MongoDB team from PEG.js to pest.rs! https://ift.tt/BiCwrWv August 16, 2022 at 12:13AM

Show HN: Augmented Reality Knowledge Management for Facility Maintenance Teams https://ift.tt/aQ8GIBw

Show HN: Augmented Reality Knowledge Management for Facility Maintenance Teams Hello friends at HN. Aircada is an AR knowledge management platform to help facility maintenance teams capture, retain, and transfer knowledge. Here is a link to a demo video showcasing the features - https://youtu.be/QXwTlNC3C7A During the pandemic, we noticed that some technical achievements from Microsoft's Spatial Anchors were finally at a point of opening the door to adoption for a magnitude of AR use cases, that in the past, weren't a viable option. And paired with the processing power and lidar capabilities of new phones, it seemed location based AR finally wasn't a pain in the a%% to use. Until now, QR codes and advanced computer based setups were required, and just were not worth the effort for most. But now, all with a mobile device - scan an area, place AR content, then scan that area again and have it show up exactly where you placed it. Awesome. However, there were still some problems with Microsoft's system. Locating AR content sometimes took 30+ seconds, and cost up to a dollar to do. So we built on top of their system and managed to cut that cost by about 10x, and increase the speed of locating content by about 10x. And by doing so, the use cases that opened up were quite vast! With our backgrounds in industrial automation, we set out to address the following problem - The growing industrial skills gap. The US Department of Labor estimated the 50% of the US workforce was set to retire over the next 5-10 years. In utilities and manufacturing, where turnover is high, this is becoming a huge issue. Imagine Bob, a senior maintenance technician with 35 years of experience, about to retire. When Bob walks out the door, so do many of his trade secrets in how to operate the facility. After speaking with several managers at these facilities, there is an eery since of panic approaching, where they are wondering how they will transfer Bob's knowledge to the younger generation before it's too late. Meanwhile, when hiring the younger generation, Bob continually has to hands on train these new hires with the same knowledge over and over again, just to watch them quit a year or so later. And this is where location based AR can show some real value. If Bob can capture his knowledge and place it next to the machines where it'll live forever, and be accessible in seconds from any mobile phone, it's as if Bob never actually left. Sort of like Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars. New hires will be able to train themselves with the autonomy they so desire, while Bob can continue addressing the facilities larger issues. Anyway, I appreciate you reading, and I'll finish with this - we'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and or any questions you may have. The market and use cases for what we've built it quite vast, so narrowing it down has been one of the most challenging aspects. https://aircada.com/ August 15, 2022 at 11:43PM

Show HN: Anysphere, home for important, long-form conversations Hi everyone! I’m Arvid, cofounder of Anysphere ( https://anysphere.co ). With my two friends Sualeh and Shengtong I have been spending the last few months building a dedicated home for important, long-form conversations. We’re super excited to let the HN community test it out! We think that no existing platform for point–to-point communication prioritizes the conversations that you actually care about and that really matter. Instant messaging is filled with careless texts and stickers, email is filled with receipts and spammers, and physical mail, while better in those respects, is slow and cumbersome. None of the existing platforms are private enough. Anysphere attempts to fix this. It is private, secure, desktop-first and only allows people you added to contact you. Our whitepaper ( https://ift.tt/nsDtbNg ) describes our privacy and security model in detail — in short, we protect all of your data and metadata against everyone (even our own server). Our client is fully open source: https://ift.tt/IS3zTiW . We deployed a small server to open up testing to everyone in the HN community. Instructions are here: https://ift.tt/IAKX1lc... . I can’t wait to hear your thoughts! https://ift.tt/13LQtyf August 15, 2022 at 07:47AM

Show HN: Bog Gobbler Word Game Two years ago my pandemic project was an online multi-player variant of Scrabble named Crossword Island Hopper where you capture territory by placing words on a board. It proved to be wildly unpopular. More recently I have been working on Bog Gobbler, which is a variant of Boggle where you capture territory by finding words in the grid. The territory-capture element is much more relevant in the multi-player game, but also affects the mechanics of solo games. This one is a little more popular and there is a daily solo challenge where everyone plays the same grid, with a global and personal leaderboard. You can go directly to the daily challenge at: https://ift.tt/Ej4QLil If you know how to play Boggle the one thing you need to be aware of is that after the first word you find, all subsequent words must include at least one letter that you already "own". https://ift.tt/udqC1pO August 14, 2022 at 12:11AM

Show HN: Agency quality design and development for a very un-agency like price Howdy HN! Been working on a side project of mine for about a year called Gloutir. It's essentially an 'agency of one' design and development service using a subscription or retainer model for billing (Stripe + Memberstack). I primarily focus on WordPress and Webflow design and development as I realized long ago that there's a huge demand for these services in the design / marketing agency space. I've had a lot of success the past year with this work, and surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) every single client of mine has been a larger agency needing additional help. That kind of makes sense because an agency can immediately see the value in what I offer without really having to be convinced. Recently I've introduced a weekly option for clients looking to launch fast and spend less ($1,000 a week, maybe not sustainable but we’ll see). I'd love to get more involved with startups needing landing page work / design services. There are a number of people doing stuff like this, but I do want to clarify that this is never going to be an "unlimited design" style subscription service. I've intentionally set a hard cap on the number of clients because it's simply impossible to accommodate more than a certain number of clients while keeping the quality of work where it needs to be. Anywho, curious what you all think and if you have any suggestions on how to improve. https://gloutir.com/ About me: full time designer and developer at an agency.

How Improving Muni Also Makes Life Better for Drivers

How Improving Muni Also Makes Life Better for Drivers
By Andrea Buffa

Photo credit: We Ride Australia

If you mostly drive to get around San Francisco, you may be wondering, “what has the SFMTA done for me lately?” San Francisco is a “transit first” city, so at the SFMTA we focus our resources on making it easier for San Franciscans to get around by public transit as well as by biking, walking and personal mobility device. While it may seem like adding transit lanes and protected bike lanes doesn’t have anything to do with driving, in fact, it does. 

Since San Francisco doesn’t have room to give more space to roads, we have to change the way we use the limited space on our existing streets. (Not that adding more roads reduces traffic anyway – check out this article.) City Traffic Engineer Ricardo Oleo puts it this way: “When you have a city like San Francisco that was built with density in mind, having everyone drive is not a viable option. There’s not enough room to have that happen. It’s not geometrically possible. You’d have debilitating amounts of congestion without Muni.” 

A well-designed city gives people choices. The many San Franciscans who already do choose to take Muni, walk or bike to get around are taking some pressure off the city's roadways. Imagine if everyone on the 49 Van Ness/Mission that’s zipping down the new Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit corridor were instead driving on Franklin and Gough. That would translate into another 21,000 cars in traffic on a typical day! And think about what congestion would look like on Fell Street if the hundreds of people who use the protected bike lanes there were behind the wheel of a car? 

Every person who takes Muni to get to the Chase Center, their workplace or their doctor’s appointment is one fewer car on the road. So, everything we do to make Muni more appealing—whether it’s transit lanes, new buses or smart traffic signals that give transit priority —is also good for drivers.  

Every person who walks, bikes or hops on an electric scooter to get to Golden Gate Park or pick up something at the local pharmacy is one fewer car that needs a parking space. So, everything we do to make it safer and more appealing to use active forms of transportation is also beneficial for the people who do need to drive to those destinations. 

Bikes take up far less space on the road than cars, and Muni buses and trains can transport a significant number of people in a compact space. 100 people traveling in personal vehicles take up 4,500 square feet. The same 100 people on bikes takes up about 1,200 square feet. And if they were all in a bus? They would take up only 520 square feet. They would also be responsible for far fewer greenhouse gas emissions. 

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a priority for the SFMTA and the city of San Francisco. But we realize most people make travel decisions based on their personal lives – not on San Francisco’s climate action plan. As a transportation agency, our job is to make transit, walking and rolling the best travel options for more people. If we’re able to do that, we’ll help fight the climate crisis and simultaneously improve the driving experience for people who still need to drive.

Show HN: Wordle but for Tweets https://ift.tt/zJcq7xB

Show HN: Wordle but for Tweets 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. https://www.birdle.art/ August 12, 2022 at 03:34AM

Show HN: Genti Audio – Stories and podcasts in African languages https://ift.tt/E4g2ZJB

Show HN: Genti Audio – Stories and podcasts in African languages Hi all, Eke here, co-founder of Genti Audio. Genti Audio is a mobile app for streaming and downloading Africa-focused audiobooks, stories, and podcasts in regional and local African languages. In September 2021, my sister and I sat down to work on an audio show exploring Nigeria’s cultural and linguistic diversity. As we began to put the show together, we realized that our target audience- Nigerians and Africans in both urban and rural areas, were not heavily present on any of the major audio platforms for this type of content. Recognizing this, we decided to first fix this distribution gap, and so the idea for Genti was born. From just an idea, we began pooling resources and soon started developing our beta app. And after months of hard work building, scouring for content, and raising funds from supportive friends and family, we are very excited to announce the launch of our mobile app. We will continue to improve the app and roll out more features over the next 4 months. Download the App now on Google Play or the Apple App Store and start listening! At Genti, our mission is to amplify African stories and voices to entertain, educate, and enrich lives. In line with our mission, we’ll spend the next 3 - 6 months getting the best entertaining and educative African audio content out there and curating for our users. We also believe that for every African story told there are hundreds waiting to be told, and that’s why we’ve begun working on developing engaging original content available exclusively on our platform. Genti is committed to playing a vital role in developing and deepening audio storytelling on the continent. To download the app, visit the Genti website, or download directly from Google Play and the Apple App store and start listening! If you’ve got a podcast, audiobook, or story you’d like to upload on Genti, please send an email to ojiugo@gentimedia.com and we’ll be in touch. We’d also love to get feedback from you on your experience with the Genti App. https://gentimedia.com/ August 10, 2022 at 05:47PM

Show HN: Image Manipulation via Triangulation https://ift.tt/sOSwaIM

Show HN: Image Manipulation via Triangulation This project is a first principles approach to image representation and manipulation. I got interested in alternatives to the pixel grid, intrigued by the in some respect even simpler division of 2D space by the simplicial complex, i.e., the triangulation. The main concrete contribution here is a triangulation algorithm which is specifically retains contour. https://ift.tt/3hTuSov August 8, 2022 at 11:34PM

Show HN: Apprise v1.0.0 – A lightweight all-in-one notification solution https://ift.tt/QHE2oJS

Show HN: Apprise v1.0.0 – A lightweight all-in-one notification solution I introduced Hacker News to Apprise back when it was just an experiment (and supported just 30 or so notification services at the time). Now supporting more then 85+ services and with a ton of built in features, I officially created it's first stable v1.0.0 release marking a major milestone for the project. Apprise doesn't compete with other notification services out there; instead it just acts as a proxy (or master switchboard) to support handling messages to them. It's a means of decoupling notification support from the systems that want to provide them. The idea is to adopt Apprise into your environment, and then you no longer have to worry about adding/removing support for new services as the come along and deprecating the ones that go away. The way it works is that every service out there maps to a `schema://credentials/?optional_configuration`. You just need to define the schemas you use, and then you can already use Apprise. Check out the list of the services available today here: https://ift.tt/H5Yl1yo Apprise is 100% open source (MIT Licensed). It has an acompanied API I built for those who want to centralize their configuration (found here: https://ift.tt/jZM1EGB ). Some reasons you may also all find it useful: - It works perfectly with legacy servers (supporting even Python 2.7). So this fits system admins using older systems such as CentOS 6+ - It has a complete API that developers, devops, and administrators alike can leverage allowing them to control the notifications in their environments. - It supports configuration files allowing you to securely hide your credentials and map them to simple tags like `family`, `devops`, `marketing`, etc. There is no limit to the number of tag assignments. It supports a simple TEXT (https://ift.tt/iT3pf1k) based configuration, as well as a more advanced and configurable YAML (https://ift.tt/EmxnJos) based one. - It sends all notifications asynchronously optimizing setups where there are many end-points to deliver to. - It supports inputs are of MARKDOWN, HTML, and TEXT and can easily convert between these depending on the endpoint. For example: HTML provided input would be converted to TEXT before passing it along as a text message. However the same HTML content provided would not be converted if the endpoint accepted it as such (such as Telegram, or Email). - It supports breaking large messages into smaller ones to fit the upstream service. Hence a text message (160 characters) or a Tweet (280 characters) would be constructed for you if the notification you sent was larger. - It supports file attachments too. So feel free to pass along an image, PDF, etc if the destination supports it. - It can easily allow you to write your own custom notifications and/or simply leverage Apprise as routing service to perform admin tasks for you. See here for more details: https://ift.tt/Mfve4Xm - It has 100% code based test coverage. :) I hope to continue to add more services (and break 100+ supported services someday). I also hope some of you find it useful for your own project solution! https://ift.tt/lDGv3FV August 7, 2022 at 11:51PM

Show HN: A Gauss-Seidel solver visualization in a single HTML file https://ift.tt/3oQnDNA

Show HN: A Gauss-Seidel solver visualization in a single HTML file Recently I was reading about fluid simulation and stumbled upon the Gauss Seidel method. I got interested in how it works and made a program that visualizes the method in action. I had the idea of making an interactive book-like thing for a while, so took this as a chance to do just that. Note that touch input doesn't work and the layout is targeted towards bigger screens, so it doesn't function properly on mobile. It was fun to make and I wanted to share it. Maybe someone will find it useful. Corrections and feedback are welcome. Technical Stuff - A single 1.7MB HTML file with embedded JavaScript and WebAssembly. You can save this single file and double click it to run. - A math typesetter from scratch in C that compiles/renders the equations in real-time (uses KaTex fonts and STB true type to rasterize the fonts). - Platform code is done using Sokol (tested on windows and web). - The UI is done using Dear ImGui (Most of the code is done in C++ to use ImGui without a wrapper except for the equations compiler). https://ift.tt/9RYxLnv August 7, 2022 at 03:21AM

Show HN: A link/news aggregator I am working on https://ift.tt/WAz1Ccb

Show HN: A link/news aggregator I am working on Hello HN, I'm building omegapedia.com, a link/news aggregator that combines features of multiple other sites. I started building this site because I often found some features lacking in other websites. As example: You can format you text to be italic, red, blue or to be a spoiler. Comments are not threaded and don't include any voting feature. Omegapedia uses upvotes and downvotes for posts but shows them as separate numbers. I styled the page in darkmode but added an optional lightmode as well. I added "Trust-Points" and a leaderboard to show the 5 users with the most points. Other noteworthy features are: -Comment replies. -Flairs. -Adding a bio to your profile. -Mention users in comments. -Ability to add a email address to your account. -Forgot-my-password function. -Link posts. There is no need to add a email andress to your account and you will never be forced to. The site works on pc and mobile. The site is very lightweight because there are no CSS or JavaScript libaries that will have to be downloaded first. There are multiple ways to sort the posts and a way to show the recent comments so you can join a current discussion anytime. There is no register barrier and you will be automatically logged in a muted guest account. I am very interested in feedback and if you have any questions or comments please let me know, thank you! ======== Join me on omegapedia! https://ift.tt/LjiPWe7 https://ift.tt/8R1cXeb August 5, 2022 at 11:55PM

Bayshore Boulevard Quick-Build Project Update

Bayshore Boulevard Quick-Build Project Update
By Adrienne Heim

Bayshore Boulevard is a mixture of industrial and commercial ruggedness mixed with historic and family run small business charm. Bayshore Boulevard is also a busy street that runs parallel to Highway 101 and is nestled between Bayview, Bernal Heights, Potrero Hill and Mission neighborhoods. Interestingly enough, one of the oldest restaurants in San Francisco, The Old Clam House, built in 1861 and recently re-opened after two years of closure due to the pandemic and management changes. As you begin to walk Bayshore and Oakdale heading south towards Silver Avenue, you’ll see workers grabbing food and saying hi to owner Tarik at Bayshore Taqueria, you’ll notice parents dropping off their children at the family run business American Gymnastics Club and folks walking to catch the 9 or 9R Bayshore or 23 Monterey Muni bus. For over 30 years, people have been visiting legacy business Flowercraft Garden Center, near Bayshore and Cortland to decorate their homes, patios and backyards with native plants and its sister business Floorcraft, who’ve been in business since 1941. Not only that, but you’ll also see people walking their carts or crates filled with aluminum and glass bottles to family run business Our Planet Recycling Center or folks biking around Bayshore and Industrial.

Bayshore Boulevard has a lot of vehicle/pedestrian/bike activity given all the small and big box businesses sprinkled along the corridor and its important role as a major connector to the north and south sections of San Francisco. The corridor is on the Vision Zero SF High Injury Network, which means 75% of the city’s traffic injuries and fatalities occur on just 13% of San Francisco streets. From 2015 to 2021, 98 traffic collisions have been reported on Bayshore Boulevard between Silver and Jerrold avenues. A total of 11 bicycle-vehicle collisions resulted in four severe injuries and 10 total pedestrian-vehicle collisions resulted in two severe injuries. A few months ago, a fatality occurred between a motorcyclist and another vehicle near Bayshore and Flower.

Mode	Collisions
Bike	11 total collisions with four severe injuries.
Walk	10 total collisions with two severe injuries.

To improve access and safety for people walking and bicycling on Bayshore Boulevard, the SFMTA is proposing a quick-build project on Bayshore Boulevard from Silver to Oakdale avenues (Section 1) and potentially improvements in the future on Bayshore Boulevard from Oakdale to Jerrold avenues (Section 2).

A quick-build project increases safety for all users of Bayshore Boulevard by implementing relatively fast improvements with inexpensive treatments within months, such as: 

• Paint
• Traffic delineators
• Street signs
• Parking and loading adjustments 

The project is then evaluated within 24 months after construction is completed through the Safe Streets Evaluation Program to understand whether the transportation safety treatments are working, need to be revised or removed.   

In May and June, the Bayshore Quick-Build team connected with businesses and stakeholders who use the corridor and there were several takeaways:

• Unsafe vehicle speeds on the Bayshore 
• Need for greater protection between the vehicle travel lane and bike lane
• Need for improved pedestrian and bike safety 
• Need for improved neighborhood connections by bike

Comments from our survey include:

“Walking in that area is awful today and generally I just feel unsafe if I am not in a car.”

"This is not supposed to be a freeway! It is not safe as it is now and inspires unsafe driving and speeding.”

“I am more concerned about the bike connections north to south. I would love to be able to bike on Bayshore more, but the connections are horrible.”

Based on the feedback received, the project team is considering refinements to the project proposal and will continue to provide updates to all project stakeholders.

The current project timeline includes:

Section 1 (Bayshore Blvd. from Silver to Oakdale Avenues)

• July to August 2022 – Round 2 Community Outreach and Final Design (showcase the final proposed project design and answer questions). 
• Summer/Fall 2022 – Approvals/ Legislation for Section 1 – Bayshore Boulevard from Silver to Oakdale avenues (Public Hearing anticipated in late September)
• Fall 2022 – Construction begins on Section 1 – Bayshore Boulevard from Silver to Oakdale avenues 

Section 2 (Bayshore Blvd. from Oakdale to Jerrold Avenues)

Section 2 will be further analyzed and potentially become part of a future project where the needs of the roadway can be better met through longer-term, capital construction work. 
Stay tuned to see what is in store for a safer Bayshore Boulevard for all users.
