Show HN: LED Website Indicator – an LED lights up when someone visits your site Recently while looking for coding work I connected an LED to my resume site so that I would have instant feedback in the form of a visual notification whenever anyone visited. People seemed to like the idea when I wrote about it on my blog, so I have made this into a free service. Using ESP8266, my own hosted MQTT broker and WordPress plugin. If you want to try it out, I have the instructions over at https://ift.tt/3Cb6vXA - see the "learn" page. All you need is a spare ESP8266 module and a WordPress site. I'm concentrating on WordPress for now, but it should be relatively simple to send MQTT messages from other types of websites. If there is enough interest I plan to do this as a pre-programmed product, with an RGB LED and support for multiple websites. I know you can set this up yourself with Node-Red or Adafruit but I'm going for a very focused product which does one thing well, and is super simple to set up. October 23, 2021 at 08:57PM

Plans for 2022 Muni Service Take the Next Step

Plans for 2022 Muni Service Take the Next Step
By Mariana Maguire

A 2 Clement Muni bus serving its route to Park Presidio Boulevard. The 2 Clement is proposed to return to service in early 2022.

When we asked about what SFMTA should do with resources to expand a bit of service, the SFMTA received more than 4,500 responses to our survey asking San Franciscans what they want to see when we’re able to add more service in February 2022.   

We also received detailed feedback about Muni service at meetings, pop-ups and via email and our hotline. In response to that feedback, in early 2022 we are restoring connections, particularly for people with disabilities and seniors. Taking the time to evaluate our service and working with the public, we have also developed ideas for new connections, allowing Muni to take more people more places. 

These changes will restore key pre-pandemic connections, preserve or restore Muni access in hilly areas and focus on access for people with disabilities and seniors. At the same time, they will provide new direct connections from the Western Addition, Tenderloin and Richmond District to Caltrain, Oracle Park (Giants’ Stadium) and SoMa, and will provide new through-service between North Beach, Fisherman’s Wharf, Russian Hill and the Marina through all the western neighborhoods.  

In the survey responses, we also heard a desire for increased frequency to reduce crowding and wait times on high ridership Muni routes, so we are looking for opportunities where resources allow us to do that as well. Once we know the extent of the impact of the city's vaccination mandate, we will restore as much service as we can, and then increase frequency on high ridership routes to reduce crowding and wait times as resources allow.   

Proposed 2022 Muni Service Route Restorations and Improvements 

We are proposing to restore five of the seven pre-pandemic routes that are currently still suspended, although some of those routes would be restored with some changes to balance resources.  

  • The 2 Clement would be restored to Presidio Avenue and California Street and operate every 15 minutes all day on weekdays 

  • The 6 Haight/Parnassus would return every 20 minutes, and the 52 Excelsior and 66 Quintara would return to their past routes 

  • The 10 Townsend would be restored to Sansome and Montgomery streets and run along 16th Street in Potrero Hill 

  • The 21 Hayes would be restored every 15 minutes to Grove and Hayes streets 

  • The 31 Balboa would be rerouted to 5th Street, Townsend Street, 3rd Street and Harrison Street, with a terminal at the 4th and King Caltrain Station 

These routes are especially important to access hospitals such as St. Mary’s and UCSF, senior centers, low-cost food options and other key connections among neighborhoods. We also heard the need for more connections to Caltrain, between Potrero Hill and the Financial District. 

The 28R 19th Avenue Rapid would also be restored in full for stronger North/South connections and the 43 Masonic would be extended to its pre-pandemic route north of Presidio and California to the Presidio, the Marina and Fort Mason. This responds to the need we heard for connections to Fort Mason and nearby grocery stores. 

While we don’t propose to restore the 3 Jackson and 47 Van Ness in early 2022, we are proposing some changes to the 5 Fulton, 12 Folsom/Pacific, 28 19th Avenue, 30 Stockton, 38R Geary Rapid and 49 Van Ness/Mission to help bridge service gaps, including more frequent service to reduce crowding and wait times and route extensions to make connections to grocery stores, hospitals, schools and diverse workplaces. 

Changes could also be made to some routes that were temporarily changed during the pandemic, such as the 23 Monterey, 48 Quintara/24th Street, 57 Parkmerced and 58 Lake Merced that could potentially address demand for service along Brotherhood Way, Sloat Boulevard, better access to businesses in Noe Valley, and safety concerns along Clipper Street. 

The proposal also includes options for the J Church: When rail service was restored to the J Church line in December 2020, we did not reintroduce the J Church into the subway, ending the line at Church and Duboce. This change allows us to limit the number of trains in the subway, reduce congestion and improve reliability for the entire Muni Metro system. In early 2022, the J Church could remain as it currently is, an all-surface route terminating at Church Street and Duboce Avenue, to maintain the improvement in reliability on the J Church and the 75% reduction in delays we are seeing in the subway. But, it could also be returned to the Market Street Subway evenings only, when there is less congestion in the tunnel, or even full-time.  

Next Steps 

We will be seeking approval of the service plan by the SFMTA Board on December 7, 2021, and expect to implement the additional service in February 2022. This time frame may be pushed back depending on transit operator availability related to the vaccine mandate. 

We will present this plan for input at several upcoming meetings where the public can provide public comment. See SFMTA.com/2022Network for upcoming meetings. To provide feedback, email TellMuni@SFMTA.com or call 415.646.2005. 

We expect to finalize the proposal for these improvements to Muni service in November. We will continue to seek additional funding, which we will need to make any further changes. Looking forward to the next 6 months, it is our goal to restore more if we can tackle the long-term funding. We will also continue  community dialogue and planning to develop an expansion of our Rapid network and other frequency improvements to address crowding and reduce wait times as the system continues to recover.  There are many competing needs for our Muni system.  We are doing our best to balance as many of them as possible with the resources that we have.

Celebrating Quicker Muni Trips on a Safer Geary

Celebrating Quicker Muni Trips on a Safer Geary
By Amy Fowler

The sky was gloomy but the mood was celebratory at the Japantown Peace Plaza on Wednesday. Fortunately, the rain stopped just long enough for the SFMTA, along with Mayor London Breed and other city departments and community members, to celebrate the completion of the Geary Rapid Project. This major civic improvement project has helped to revitalize one of San Francisco’s busiest corridors between Market and Stanyan streets with more reliable bus service, safer streets, upgraded utilities and new trees.

One safety improvement in particular was a much-anticipated addition for residents of the Fillmore, Japantown and St. Francis Square communities: a new signalized crosswalk at Geary and Buchanan. That and three other new crosswalks in the area are providing safer crossing opportunities for people walking and helping to reconnect neighborhoods that were divided by the Geary Expressway and “urban renewal” in the mid-twentieth century.

Pre-pandemic, the combined Geary routes boasted one of the highest bus riderships in the country, with more than 56,000 daily customers relying on the 38 Geary and 38R Geary Rapid. As riders return, they are experiencing a faster, more reliable ride thanks to transit improvements that were made along the three-mile stretch of Geary.

Dedicated transit lanes, bus stop optimization and signal retiming were implemented at the beginning of the project in late 2018. These quick-build improvements alone resulted in 38R Geary Rapid travel time savings of up to 20%. More recent improvements include coloring the transit lanes red to improve compliance and installing 12 new transit bulb-outs—sidewalk extensions at stops that reduce delays by allowing buses to remain in the travel lane. The Transit Signal Priority system, which helps buses get the green light at intersections more often, has also been upgraded. Now that the full suite of transit improvements has been installed, we’re beginning to assess how well they’re working and will share full evaluation results in 2022.

SFMTA Director of Transportation Jeffrey Tumlin makes opening remarks at the Geary Rapid ribbon cutting event

Other upgrades include a host of safety improvements to address Geary’s designation as a high-injury corridor. Thirty-four new pedestrian bulbs-outs were built along the corridor to shorten crossing distances for people walking and slow turning vehicles. Other additions include accessible pedestrian signals, curb ramps, countdown signals and longer crosswalk timing to allow people of all abilities to cross Geary safely. The Tenderloin, where there is a disproportionate number of severe and fatal collisions, was a focal point for many of these improvements.

The Western Addition has also been spruced up with the addition of 31 new trees. The trees, plus visual narrowing of the lanes and reducing the number of travel lanes from eight to six, all work together to give the area more of a neighborhood feel and slow down speeding vehicles who have treated the thoroughfare like a highway.

This three-year capital project was completed on time and on budget. To minimize the need to dig more than once, construction was coordinated with other City agencies, including 1.5 miles of new sewer mains and almost three miles of upgraded water mains by San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). Public Works has rejuvenated 1.5 miles of deteriorated streets between Masonic and Van Ness avenues with fresh paving.

The Geary Rapid Project is the first of two phases of improvements planned as part of the Geary Corridor Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. Outreach and preliminary design is currently underway on the second phase, the Geary Boulevard Improvement Project, which would bring similar transit and safety improvements west of Stanyan Street to 34th Avenue.

Show HN: I created a tool to schedule HTTP requests In my last project, I was struggling to create and monitor cron jobs. So, instead of creating hundreds of standalone scrips and executing them with cron, I decided to turn those scripts into multiple endpoints. Next, I created a single service that I could schedule HTTP requests to those endpoints and monitor its execution. No more scripts, now everything is endpoints that I can run manually at any time I turned this scheduler service into a Micro-SaaS so you don't have to build it yourself: beew.io I know you can Schedule HTTP requests with Zapier but come on... I will not pay 50 bucks for that hahahaha btw, feedbacks are welcome. https://beew.io October 22, 2021 at 07:38PM

Show HN: Semgrep App https://ift.tt/3b1N7jX

Show HN: Semgrep App https://ift.tt/2ZcTMFT Hi! I work on Semgrep, an open-source project (discussed on HN previously [0][1)]. We’re one of those companies that maintain an OSS tool and a web app, and then monetize by selling enterprise features on said web app. Our free web app just went through a major revamp (sort of like a v1.0 release) so this feels like the perfect time to share and hear what the HN crowd thinks! Let me start with some backstory on Semgrep. Our team, r2c, has been experimenting with various ways to help organizations step up their application security game. One of our earliest experiments was Bento, a wrapper around multiple existing linters to help people configure various tools like ESLint and Bandit in one go. The bottleneck with a tool like this was, of course, interfacing with more and more tools. I had previously worked on a similar project called coala[2] which got all the way up to 78 analyzers covering 54 languages, until the project ground to a halt over the maintenance burden of all that. One of our team members at r2c came up with a novel approach to this problem: he suggested reusing some of his old work on Coccinelle[3] and later Sgrep[4], which were tools to search parsed syntax trees of various languages. Conceptually this meant that while Bento and coala could standardize the command-line interface, the configuration syntax, and file targeting logic of linters, now we could also standardize the core linting logic. Extending Bento with linting rules using this pattern language proved to be so easy that we rather just reimplemented the existing linters with it. And thus, Semgrep was born specifically to scan code with these pattern definitions, and there was no longer a need for Bento. Our rule registry[5] now contains over 1,500 rule definitions in this standardized linter rule definition language, across 20 languages. And this leads us to our web app. Early adopters of Semgrep encountered problems rolling out the CLI tool across their organization. Their key needs: scanning hundreds of repos, reviewing all their scan results, deploying custom organization-internal rules across them, and avoiding backlash from developers during all that. We also made the unorthodox decision to start with a ground rule that we never ever want to have access to the source code of our customers. These needs and rules guided our web app’s feature set, which ended up being: provisioning CI jobs on repositories, centrally configuring which rules should block builds or notify people, sending notifications via PR comments/Slack/email, and displaying the list of all findings, along with some analytics. As for today, we just launched a major release of Semgrep App, which cuts down on the complexity that built up in our original implementation, and we also tried to expand the problem space our app tackles all the way through remediating issues on the web UI. You can read more about these recent changes at https://ift.tt/2ZbzBrs And as for the future, two main areas of interest are 1) intelligently selecting all the right Semgrep Registry rules for a given project and 2) creating a smooth workflow for organizations to collaboratively maintain their own set of internal Semgrep rules. Please check out the app we built at https://ift.tt/2ZcTMFT , and let us know what you think! I’ll be hanging out in the comments as one of the engineers who built the app, but our CEO (ievans) is also ready to answer questions, and the rest of the team will surely be lurking here as well.
