This map is missing a number of locations near me that DeFlock (https://deflock.org/) has. For example, entrances to Stanford's campus.

Sometimes I will see a domain on YC and immediately know it will be LLM-designed before clicking on the link. This was one of those projects. Wish they were more human and more understated.

Can we please write our own READMEs before posting to HN?

That it tends to provoke unproductive comments like this one. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#comments

I'm a student at Stanford — this is hitting the whole school hard. Unlike a lot of schools on the east coast that are affected (Brown, Harvard, MIT) we are on the quarter system so we're just ending Midterms right now. We're also lucky enough to have our CS department entirely independent from Canvas, but most of my humanities classes are not so lucky. One art history class is having us submit our midterm papers by uploading to a google drive folder—another is pausing weekly quizzes. The main thing this has revealed is just how dependent students and teachers are on Canvas... I hope that this re-prompts discussions about moving off of a platform that was already (from a student perspective) not very good.

Interesting that this doesn't seem to include a computer algebra system like the Nspire CAS. Wonder if it's a testing environment compliance thing?

This seems like a great opportunity for new platforms who are rethinking the OSS space to finally gain the traction they need to be effective. For a collaborative platform, quantity is key, and I am hopeful that someone who is interested in advancing the software space will become the new go-to. This isn't to say that GitHub hasn't been innovating, but at least from my perspective, the way we've used git for the past however-many-years has remained basically constant.

Some projects that seem interesting: - https://tangled.org/ seems to be building out cool and exciting ways to write and interact with code (and they're distributed on the ATProto! But notably that's not their core selling point) - Microservices like https://pico.sh/ and https://sr.ht/ feel like fresh air...

Farming is a funny example to use, given that it's one of the best examples of an industry that's continually revolutionized by evolving technology. Farming today is about owning the best tractor.

The dismiss button on the top banner doesn't work after I click onto the trial page.

...and start writing it like you're an LLM!

This looks generally good but sadly also stylistically is similar to the default "modern" output of Claude Code. Just a thought.

Was this post written with AI? The syntax and use of emojis certainly looks like something Claude would generate.

The table also seems like the kind of thing that Gemini seems to generate a lot. "Here's a table that communicates almost no information! One of the rows is constant for each item."

Just ran a script to do this – doesn't seem like there's much going in, other than one test transaction.

It’s such a shame they shut this down. I loved golden gate Claude.

LiveStore is the only sync engine I’ve used for Expo / RN that actually just works out of the box. In a space that is seemingly mature it’s nice to see something polished and I’m excited to see how it develops over the next year!

I still use my PTR daily! See https://rebble.io/ :)

It's so funny you mention this, I actually just launched something super similar today for the California DMV (as a Bay Area student). It checks for openings from cancellations and notifies people.

There's a special kind of magic that comes from meaningfully improving your life from software :)

(the project is https://dmvfilter.com if you want to check it out!)

As a current student and self-taught developer this is one of the best representations I’ve seen about what makes the world of CS fun. You have a bunch of people with a crazy idea that’s just SO niche and they’re able to use their brains to create something beautiful of immense value.

There are basically three parts to this question, all of which can be chosen independently and then fit together.

First you choose a frontend (and often backend) framework to actually build the pages, like Next.js, Svelte, Laravel, etc.

Then, you can choose an auth solution like Clerk, auth0, NextAuth, Supabase, etc. Most of these products work with a wide variety of frameworks. Some of the frameworks (like Laravel) also have an auth framework built in.

For payments, you technically have choices but I would just use stripe.

> Southwest even sues websites that display its schedules and fares without authorization

Why does Southwest even have any jurisdiction here? It seems like they won a preliminary case, but don't we have established president that scraping websites is legal, thanks to hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn?

A while - they’ve had the construction on 28L for a few months; now it’s actually construction on Taxiway B, which requires the use of 28L as a taxiway.

Edit: just checked the NOTAMs and it’s been this way since January 18th, and expires on May 28th. Plenty of time for airlines to get their act together.

> We could have public libraries be entirely outside the copyright system.

Where is the line between this and something along the lines of libgen? I’ve been using distributed libraries for years and haven’t paid for a textbook once…

x2, opensheet is one of those tools I use so often I forget how useful it is. It’s so nice to be able to take form responses (or just generic svg data) and display it to a user base without having to setup a SQLite database and APIs.

I have a Kindle Oasis right now that I want to get more use out of, but also can't stand using Amazon products (and have found the Oasis increasingly frustrating as of late, especially as I download more content from non-Amazon sources for my classes). Can any Kobo owners speak to how much of an improvement it is over the Oasis (or any other more recent Kindle)? Should I pre-order the Color or just get one of their existing models?

One of the first Launch HN products I've been excited about in a long time. I'm a student, and really looking forward to using this to write papers, assignments, emails, etc.

Congrats!

I got an email from BMO the other day that I had changed my password. I immediately tried to log in (with my current password) and it worked fine. Never got any other communication from them about it, or even a fraud alert after I supposedly "changed" the password.

I moved to Schwab a while ago, so I'm not sure what I would've done to change the password. Schwab is much better, by the way. BMO is a joke. I never thought I would say this, but I miss Bank of the West.

Rerun is one of those projects where I want to find an excuse to use it more. So well-thought-out, well engineered, etc. Props to the engineers.

I’ve used https://www.when2meet.com for an hourly version of this for years, and never had any issues with it.

Derek from Veritasium has a decent video on this topic that seems to be less corporate: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aFPJf-wKTd0
