Ask HN: What are some cool but obscure data structures you know about?

I'm very interested in what types of interesting data structures are out there HN. Totally your preference. I'll start: bloom filters. Lets you test if a value is definitely NOT in a list of pre-stored values (or POSSIBLY in a list - with adjustable probability that influences storage of the values.) Good use-case: routing. Say you have a list of 1 million IPs that are black listed. A trivial algorithm would be to compare every element of the set with a given IP. The time complexity grows with the number of elements. Not so with a bloom filter! A bloom filter is one of the few data structures whose time complexity does not grow with the number of elements due to the 'keys' not needing to be stored ('search' and 'insert' is based on the number of hash functions.) Bonus section: Golomb Coded Sets are similar to bloom filters but the storage space is much smaller. Worse performance though.

New best story on Hacker News: Tell HN: You can't hire because you don't post salary ranges
Tell HN: You can't hire because you don't post salary ranges

At the start of this year, Colorado has changed to require every job posted to list a salary range. Other states are also beginning to follow suit. I am currently job hunting. I started looking locally, everything lists salary ranges, perfect. I can know which positions to skip and which ones might be a good match right away. No need to waste time with 7 rounds of interviewing only to find out the salary is 50% of what I currently make. Now I've begun widening my search to remote work, as the idea of commuting to an office in 2022 is completely insane to me. Most jobs on nation-wide job boards do not post a salary range. I will not even click on those job postings. It's simply not worth it. Further, after seeing so many positions listed _with_ salary ranges, when I see one without a salary range it makes me feel like you have something to hide and are trying to trick me. So the next time your team starts discussing why you can't seem to hire, maybe ask if you are publicly posting salary ranges on these positions?

Hi HN! I wrote a small program to browse folders in the terminal. The main inspiration was type-ahead search in GUI file managers. There exist several programs that are similar (see the listing in the README), but none of them do it quite the way I like, and often they have a very complex UI and a ton of features. I tried to make something that is obvious how to use and gets out of your way. (I also wanted an excuse to learn Rust.) Let me know what you think!

Hey HN! Alexis here, I’m a product manager and software developer in Berlin by way of New York. I want to show you this app I made – It’s like a "buddy" for those, like myself, who inadvertedly talk too much in meetings. The app gives me feedback and a little more in control of what I have influence over by: * Keeping track of how long I’ve been speaking * Catching myself before I talk too much * Developing a better sense of timing I truly love having conversations with people in real-life. But online meetings, especially group calls, tend to make me nervous. I can't read body language. The tone of voice, micro-experessions and social cues get lost. If you, too, accidentally talk too much too often, check it out "Unblah". Watch the quick 2-minute demo and download the macOS app over at https://unblah.me/ . Cheers! Alexis PS: There’s a whole FAQ section for common questions you may have – Including if this is yet another "native" Electron app ;) edit: bullet-list formatting
