Show HN: Scheduled PC Tasks, automatically schedule simulations of actions on PCHello everyone,You would like to: – Create a loop of silent screenshots every time your PC starts up to monitor its activity. – Send a message via any application at a specific time. – Simulate precise mouse clicks and typing activities in applications or video games. – Simulate your presence (anti-AFK). – Schedule your PC to shut down by playing music that lowers its volume to accompany your sleep. – Automate repeated actions. - and much more...This Windows tool allows you to schedule simulations of actions you would perform on your PC automatically.Actions can be executed in a loop, and also at each system startup.This tool is quite complete. Feel free to share your ideas.Available for free on the Microsoft Store: Scheduled PC Tasks https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/xp9cjlhwvxs49pOpen source ^^ (C++ with Qt6): https://github.com/AmirHammouteneEI/ScheduledPasteAndKeys

Show HN: Read Sort and Write Parquet Faster Than DuckDB in JavaI built a tool in Java that reads, sorts, and writes flat Parquet files faster than DuckDB, using a new Java Parquet driver called ParquetForge.Performance is achieved through column-wise reordering and parallel algorithms. Sort order is computed using fastutil’s parallel radix or quicksorts, and columns are reordered in parallel as well. Parquet-Sort outperforms DuckDB when sorting a 59M-row Parquet file generated by TPC-H by about 25% when compiled by graalvm native-image and about 12% faster when run with the latest Corretto 24 JVM.More details, benchmarks, and source code are available here: https://github.com/Earnix/parquet-sort All code is under the Apache 2.0 license.Would love feedback, ideas, or contributions.

Show HN: Modos Developer Kit Live on Crowd SupplyToday, we’re launching our first product on Crowd Supply: a fast, open-hardware dev kit for driving e-ink displays.It supports 75Hz refresh, both color and monochrome panels, and more.This all started with a post on Hacker News about building an e-ink laptop. That post led to conversations with makers, minimalists, and others exploring how e-ink could fit into daily life, or help with personal health challenges. From those conversations came a community, which grew into a project, became a company, and brought us to today’s launch.We bootstrapped from the beginning, pushing through COVID shutdowns, chip shortages, shipping delays, and adapting to every new challenge along the way.We haven’t built the e-ink laptop yet, but we’ve built a foundation for creating high-performance e-ink devices.We’re sharing our small contribution today in hopes that it helps make e-ink more open and accessible.Thanks for being part of the journey.

Show HN: Fast Elevation API with memory mapped tilesI recently wrote and launched a high-performance Elevation API, built from the ground up, in C. I was highly inspired by the handmade community and I was intrigued by the idea of handling fairly large datasets and optimizing caching and smart prefetching, and to cream out maximum performance in terms of latency and handling large loads.The whole thing is built from scratch. I wanted to roll my own high performance server that could handle a lot, mostly for the technical challenge but also because it brings down hosting costs.At the core is a hand made TCP server where a single thread handles all I/O via epoll, distributing the events to a pool of worker threads. The server is fully non-blocking and edge-triggered, with a minimal syscall footprint during steady-state operation.Worker threads handle request parsing and perform either direct elevation lookups for single- or multi-points, or compute sample points along polyline paths.The elevation data is stored as memory mapped geotiff ra

Opening Gnosispay Account Considered ImpossibleI read a very intriguing post explaining how its possible to get a VISA card without needing a bank.Part of this is getting a Gnosispay account.Opening an account has had enough problems - and in the end was impossible - that I'm inspired to write a post.So here's how it went;1. On laptop, go to Gnosispay site, begin sign up process, enter my email addy.2. The site now instructs you to continue on your mobile phone - you're given a QR code and a URL. I go to my phone.3. Sign up now asks for photo of passport using mobile camera, no problem.4. Sign up now performs a liveness check, to make sure you're a human. What you have to do was not clear to me, and it took a good ten minutes of playing about to pass.5. Sign up now asks fora proof of address less than three months old. Well by chance I happen to have an exactly three months old - to the day - bank statement, but it has the wrong address, my old address. I supply this, because the alternative is changing address with bank and gettin

Show HN: Cursor for Technical RecruitingFor startups, finding great technical candidates is really hard. It requires sifting through stacks of identical looking resumes and making complicated determinations, like “is this person a good culture fit for our organization” with limited information. So, I built a tool that uses AI agents to perform deep background research on candidates across thousands of websites like Devpost, Github, Reddit, etc to build a comprehensive understanding of who this person is before you even talk to them. Would love for ya'll to check it out and let me know what you think!

How Remote Work Died: A Girardian Tragedy in Corporate AmericaIn 2020, remote work felt like an inevitability. Studies showed productivity didn’t collapse. Employees were happier. Companies saved on real estate. Tech workers—especially engineers—started doing something radical: living well.They fled San Francisco for Lisbon, New York for Buenos Aires, D.C. for Kraków. They claimed the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, slashing their tax bills. They worked from cafés, beaches, and co-living spaces—delivering the same (or better) output than their office-bound peers.Then, suddenly, the backlash came. CEOs demanded a Return to Office. Managers moralized about “collaboration.” HR departments spun up surveillance tools to track badge swipes.What happened?The usual explanations—productivity! culture! innovation!—are weak. Study after study showed remote work didn’t hurt performance. So why the crackdown?The Girardian UnmaskingFrench philosopher René Girard’s theories on mimetic desire and scapegoating explain this better than any MBA analysis. Here’s ho

Performance and telemetry analysis of Trae IDE, ByteDance's VSCode forkHi HN, I was evaluating IDEs for a personal project and decided to test Trae, ByteDance's fork of VSCode. I immediately noticed some significant performance and privacy issues that I felt were worth sharing. I've written up a full analysis with screenshots, network logs, and data payloads in the linked post.Here are the key findings:1. Extreme Resource Consumption: Out of the box, Trae used 6.3x more RAM (~5.7 GB) and spawned 3.7x more processes (33 total) than a standard VSCode setup with the same project open. The team has since made improvements, but it's still significantly heavier.2. Telemetry Opt-Out Doesn't Work (It Makes It Worse): I found Trae was constantly sending data to ByteDance servers (byteoversea.com). I went into the settings and disabled all telemetry. To my surprise, this didn't stop the traffic. In fact, it increased the frequency of batch data collection. The telemetry "off" switch appears to be purely cosmetic.3. What's Being Sent: Even with telemetry "disabled,"

Show HN: A Modular Phoenix SaaS Starter KitStarting a new SaaS project with Phoenix is a genuinely fantastic experience, as anyone who's dived into it will tell you. The framework itself is robust, performant, and a joy to work with. However, as I've been building out my own SaaS ventures, I've noticed a recurring pattern: no matter how brilliant Phoenix is, you inevitably find yourself configuring the same fundamental aspects time and time again. Setting up authentication, user management, payment gateways, and all the essential plumbing feels like a familiar, if slightly tedious, ritual.That's precisely why I developed the Phoenix SaaS Kit. It's designed to eliminate that repetitive setup, letting you hit the ground running with a solid foundation. The beauty of it is its modularity – you can cherry-pick the features you actually need for your specific project. So, while Phoenix gives you the incredible power to build amazing software, my kit offers a shortcut, freeing you from the boilerplate configuration and letting you fo

Show HN: Homemade robot playing piano concert in SF (7/26)Figured there are probably some folks on here that might be interested in coming to a robot piano concert at Gray Area in SF this Saturday night (7/26). More comprehensive technical write up to come (eventually) but the show is by LA composer Deru (https://deru.la) and features 3 robot/player pianos that sit over the top of traditional upright pianos and are controlled live over USB MIDI by way of an ESP32-S3.The story of how it all came about is kinda long but Ben (Deru) recorded an album (We Will Live On: https://deru.bandcamp.com/album/we-will-live-on), during covid on a Yamaha Disklavier (the album will be performed as part of the concert). To try and work out how we could actually tour the album we found a community of homebrew player piano folks that started with Brandon Switzer's work (https://github.com/bbswitzer/pianoproject) which led to a Discord group (https://discord.gg/vE9uPg2y) and then to Josh Phillips's work evolving it into an over the top player (https://github.com/j

Show HN: Grid9 – 9-character coordinate compression with 3M precisionHi HN! I've built Grid9, an open-source coordinate compression system that achieves what3words-level precision (3 meters) in just 9 characters instead of 19+.The motivation came from working with autonomous vehicle systems where bandwidth is precious and coordinate transmission is constant. Traditional lat/lon pairs are verbose (often 20+ characters), and while what3words is brilliant, even their 3-word format is lengthy for high-frequency telemetry.*Technical approach:* Grid9 uses uniform coordinate quantization - direct quantization in degree space with optimized bit allocation (22-bit latitude, 23-bit longitude). This simple approach achieves consistent precision globally without complex projections or circular dependencies. The result packs into exactly 45 bits, encoding perfectly as 9 base32 characters.*Performance:* - Encoding: 6.4M ops/second - Decoding: 7.0M ops/second - Memory: 32 bytes per operation - Written in C# with zero dependencies*Example conversions:* ``` 40.7128, -74

Show HN: An API for human-powered browser tasksAt APM Help, we have a large team that performs repetitive, browser-based tasks. Years ago, to manage this work securely and get a clear audit trail, we built an internal platform we call "Hub." It's essentially a locked-down environment where our team works that records their sessions, tracks every interaction, and prevents data from being copied or shared. It's been our internal source of truth for years.More recently, like many companies, we've been building more automation. And like everyone else, we've seen our automations fail on edge cases—a weirdly formatted invoice our parser can't read, a website layout change that breaks a scraper, etc. Our team would have to manually step in to fix these.We realized other developers must have this exact same problem, but without a 250-person team on standby. So we connected our old, battle-tested Hub to a new, modern front door: a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) API. We're calling it browser-work.com.The idea is simple: when you hit a task that ne
