Show HN: Asyncpal: Preemptive concurrency and parallelism for sporadic workloads 7 by alexrustic | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN ! Alex here. I'm excited to show you Asyncpal ( https://ift.tt/CW5xRtm ), a Python library for parallelism [1] and preemptive concurrency [2] tailored for sporadic workloads [3]. I've been working on a private project where it would be convenient to have asynchronous versions of some operations without using `async/await` [4]. Besides `async/await`, which represents cooperative concurrency via the `asyncio` package, Python also provides preemptive concurrency through its `threading` package. Additionally, the `concurrent.futures` package builds upon the `threading` package to provide a thread pool [5], which is the design pattern my project needed for managing concurrent tasks. Although a thread pool is the right tool for the problems it solves, its creation and usage involve the allocation of resources that must be properly released. For this r...

Show HN: MinutesLink – AI note taker for online calls 6 by elisegr | 0 comments on Hacker News. We created this AI meeting assistant to help entrepreneurs, founders, and managers of remote teams handle their virtual meeting management. We personally faced the challenge of numerous daily calls with different teams, clients, and partners when you lose track of what was discussed and agreed upon. That's why we created MinutesLink, designing it to be intuitive and easy to use.

Launch HN: Patchwork (YC W24) – Automatically add structured logs to your code 8 by benjaminfh | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN! We are Sam, Alex and Ben from Patchwork Technologies ( https://getpatchwork.io ). Patchwork automatically adds actionable structured logs to your code. Big picture: we are building a next generation logging and observability platform which gives engineers the rich debugging context they need. There’s a demo video ( https://youtu.be/ObIepiXfVx0 ), as well as a demo^ instance with some results for you to explore at https://ift.tt/5kFUW4j (no sign-in required!) The demo shows the analysis and improvement (against a style guide) of existing logs. It’s set up for two OSS repositories, https://ift.tt/GhneoAC and our awesome friends at Glasskube ( https://ift.tt/BN2jcz7 ). We welcome suggestions of other OSS Go repositories that you would like to see added! Why we are building this: At our previous company, we relied heavily on actionable, context-rich structu...

Launch HN: Parity (YC S24) – AI for on-call engineers working with Kubernetes 15 by wilson090 | 4 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN — we’re Jeffrey, Coleman, and Wilson, and we’re building Parity ( https://tryparity.com ), an AI SRE copilot for on-call engineers working with Kubernetes. Before you've opened your laptop, Parity has conducted an investigation to triage, determine root cause, and suggest a remediation for an issue. You can check out a quick demo of Parity here: https://ift.tt/tujONem We met working together as engineers at Crusoe, a cloud provider, and we always dreaded being on-call. It meant a week of putting our lives and projects on hold to be prepared to firefight an issue at any hour of the day. We experienced sleepless nights after being woken up by a PagerDuty alert to then find and follow a runbook. We canceled plans to make time to sift through dashboards and logs in search of the root cause of downtime in our k8s cluster. After speaking with other devs and...

Ask HN: Combine Qix and falling block game genre via falling (working) pens? 3 by amichail | 2 comments on Hacker News. As a pen falls, you can move it to create and enclose regions, similar to the game Qix. When you create an enclosed region, it is removed, freeing up space to create more enclosed regions. The game ends if you run into a Qix enemy or if you are unable to create an enclosed region. Would this be an interesting variation on falling block games?

Tell HN: Server error (5xx) in Google Search Console may not be 5xx at all 8 by santah | 0 comments on Hacker News. I run https://ift.tt/MhAenZy and recently (a few months ago) - I noticed it started getting pages not indexed because of “Server error (5xx)” in Google Search Console (GSC): https://ift.tt/43aoYhf On the website everything looked good and all reported links worked fine. I tried validating these errors at GSC as fixed, but it would always report back that the issue is still present and new links would keep popping up to have 5xx errors (as seen on the screenshot). This was worrisome because it indicated there was some kind of an issue I wasn’t aware of that may be affecting not only Google’s crawlers, but my users as well. I did what everyone would do - checked my server, Cloudflare and analytics logs for anything suspicious and placed some additional logging to try and catch what was happening. This turned out nothing - as far as I could tell - no requests returned any...

Show HN: I built a tool to try artworks on your own wall 7 by rokal | 0 comments on Hacker News. Simply upload a photo of your wall, upload the artwork images, position them, and download the result. It's very lightweight and nothing is uploaded to a server - everything runs directly in your browser. Why I made this: Existing apps (like Artrooms) fell short for me because they only offered stock wall images and limited 3D positioning, especially if your wall isn't perfectly frontal. I wanted something more flexible that would allow me to experiment with more scenarios, even when the photo is taken at a weird angle. The objective is to get a feel of how'd it look like, without the result being super realistic. Details: - Built with Three.js. - It's a static site hosted on Cloudflare. - Uploaded images are stored in IndexedDB. - Some effects, like shadows and blending, work intermittently. Sometimes they really work, and sometimes they fail horribly. - I've include...

Full disclosure: I work at Anthropic, and this was some intense dogfooding haha.
