Show HN: Public transportation signage based on bloom filters (rough mockup)https://github.com/jsvan/BusStopBloomfilterHello, I was running around Germany, hectically navigating public transportation, and getting lost all the time. I noticed that every station had i platforms, each used lists of n buses (trains, whatever) arriving, each has their list of m destinations. That means I would be scanning i x n x m items just to see if I was at the correct stop. As I was nervous, for every bus that arrived, I would rescan the list of stops to double check. I began thinking how I could make a better system.Linked is a very shoddy mockup of how bloom filters could be used to allow passengers O(1) lookup time for which platform+bus is the correct one. I believe it's likely for public transportation to grow increasingly more complex in the future, as population grows, and under the current list-based system, this will make the signage ever more complex. I think some bloom filter mechanism could reduce that complexity.So, here is my fantasy, my day dream. What do you think?Mar 21, 2023 4:50 PM

Ask HN: Shift from Product to Data Engineeringhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34899305TL:DR I have a PhD, 8 years experience in tech PMing. Interested in exploring a change to data engineering...asking advice:1- sources to learn2- does my background help or hurt?3- best way to break in4- any "career therapy" sources--I have a PhD in chemistry and fell into PMing 8 years ago. I have touched a lot of technologies and dealt with embedded systems, consumer tech, SaaS and, of course, data analysis totally out of my field and comfort zone.My current company is good enough on the surface- good package, cool clients, cool tech. It does suffer from key drawbacks - nepotism, micromanagement, silos, total lack of strategic awareness. The result being old-timers rule the roost and even though we're 500 employees it's still managed like a 15-body startup. Turn over is high - senior hires tend to leave in a hurry (1-3 years). I was brought in to help with one of the main product lines. The idea of the hiring manager to get a senior with outside experience to scale. The hiring managerFeb 22, 2023 5:34 PM

Show HN: Contactless Testdrive Plaformhttps://twinzok.com/Hello,while selling a car, I had to make a lot of time to schedule all the test drives for people interested in my offering.This is not easy with a full time job!So I heard that in Singapore, Hyundai made a trial platform that allows users to test drive vehicles in a contactless manner, including keyless entry via web API and more.Since I could not find a replica of such a service in my country, I set out to do my own version and hence my platform twinzok.com was born.It allows people to list their vehicle and offer test drives and viewings at any time. Only people that have a verified license can drive. Just like online rental services. This solves my time problem as I do not have to be present during the viewings and drives anymore.Right now the service is a in trial phase but the main components are working.I wanted to know what you think of this idea and whether you see any use in it.Thank you for your attention!Feb 1, 2023 1:57 PM

Show HN: Web Digest – Collection of (daily) big stories on the webhttps://webdigest.pages.dev/I hate browsing news apps and news websites. It is a time-consuming, energy-draining, and information-overloading experience. There are endless articles to read if one is to read something. The journalism industry, including the UGC aspect of it, produces contents significantly more than what an ordinary human can process (or even decide which to process).However, I do find the fear of missing out a real problem which should be addressed, or even solved, and solving it with an illusion of not missing out is good enough. One has to be very selective in reading, otherwise one would be drown in the flood of information. I find it necessary to limit the size of readable contents and repel the creators/editors/platforms who tempt me to read more and more endlessly. Being long is not a problem for me, but having an unknown length is.Hence this project was brought forth onto this world.

Launch HN: IcePanel (YC W23) – Onboard engineers with explorable system designshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34338995Hey HN, Victor and Jacob here. We’re excited to show you what we’ve been building over the last couple of years! IcePanel (https://icepanel.io) helps architects and developers easily explain how their software works with interactive and explorable diagrams.Modern systems are complicated, and getting new developers up to speed and contributing fully is time-consuming and difficult. It costs the new developer's time, as well as the time of the senior first/second generation developers who help them constantly through their first 6 months. The resources people use to learn new systems are usually scattered across a maze of artefacts, like confluence pages or outdated draw.io diagrams, which are usually incomplete, with the ‘real’ understanding of the system being tribal knowledge in the team. As discussed in yesterday’s post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34328069 “documentation only works up to a point” and we believe this is due to docs being disconnected from the code.
