#102This implementation is O(n) on retrieval, rather than O(1) as in the ideal case. Hopefully v2 will optimize that in the near future.
I am a competitor of Shitbowl, and my product ("Shitdrawer") solves this issue!
Shitdrawer also has a more compelling security model, although to be honest shitbowl is more convenient and most people think firewalls are good enough whether or not they have tons of easily opened ports.

O(1) implementation is trivial and implemented by most teenagers bedroom floors.
It depends on how good the hash algorithm is. My 2 year old's method tends to have a lot of collisions near the book shelf and the play kitchen, and I'm starting to think it's nondeterministic...

#105I’ll wait for the mainstream IOT Shitbowl with Alexa support and an iOS app that destroys my battery life by pinging a server to give me notifications for new shit being added to the bowl.

Some folks could be at work so might have been a good idea to avoid swearwords on the front/submit page.
But then it’s right there in the URL, so I don’t think this actually solves anything
Whoever submitted it might just be trying to do a decent and responsible thing (the URLs aren't filtered by HN). I'd rather that than the whole front page filled with expletive laden titles every day.
Not the submitter through so this is all speculation and conjecture and not particularly relevant to the joke anyway.

Christians. You’re on their time.
Linguistic prudishness outside of specifically around violations of the Second Commandment isn't particularly tied to Christianity. As “shit” is not, even in the broadest Christian interpretation, a name of the Christian God, that doesn't seem to be the basis of any filtering of that word.
Are we now pretending anyone pursues the concept of 'profanity' or defines it as broadly as Puritanical christians? Seems a weird fight to pick, but ok.

#109Looks like a nice prototype. In the real world Id like to see some basic provisions for type safety though. If the last thing used was a half drank rocks glass of tequila the integrity of the entire cache will be threatened. * they all sound like "stupid problems" till your boss is calling at 3AM because the system is down.
If your boss is in your house using your shitbowl.
your boss sleeps with you

On the flip side this is a real process that essentially works. The book "Algorithms to Love By" decides a chapter to solutions to meat space retrieval problems.
I’m pretty sure you mean “Algorithms to _Live_ By”- but I love the typo, since one anecdotes involves using CS/mathematical principles (secretary problem) to find an optimal romantic partner. Enjoyable read for sure!
Lol! That's what I get for using my phone :D
