How does token bucket enforces bursty output traffic?

Hacker News - Sat, 02/14/2026 - 3:18am

Leaky bucket and token bucket algorithm are congestion control algorithms.

Congestion control means to stop overwhelming the network.

I understand the leaky bucket algorithm to some extent.

In leaky bucket:

- there is a small hole in the bottom.

- so the output rate is always constant, irrespective of what the input rate is.

- Bursty traffic is thus converted into a uniform traffic by the leaky bucket.

But what is token bucket?

I get that the purpose of token bucket is to allow some bursty output traffic. But I do not get how.

Here are the steps of token bucket algorithm:

- in regular intervals, token are thrown in the bucket.

- the bucket has a maximum capacity.

- if there is a ready pakcet, a token is removed from the bucket, and the packet is sent.

- if there is no token in the bucket, the packet cannot be sent.

I do not see traffic enforcement scenario in this definition. How does token bucket differ from leaky bucket exactly?

I intend to refactor Gastown for the following

Hacker News - Sat, 02/14/2026 - 3:10am

I intend to refactor Gastown for the following reasons: The system is extremely user-unfriendly with almost no consideration for user experience. The naming conventions are chaotic – terms like "task" and "main" would be intuitive, yet the inappropriate term "mayor" is unnecessarily used instead. The workflows are disorganized and there is barely any meaningful interaction design. I plan to rebuild this system using Rust and incorporate additional workflow capabilities into it.

How would you go to market for a paid WhatsApp wrapper around OpenClaw?

Hacker News - Sat, 02/14/2026 - 3:02am

I’m building WhatsApp Claw for 30-50 year olds who saw the OpenClaw hype but won’t touch SSH/setup. Flow is: message on WhatsApp, pay via Stripe, start using instantly. If you were me, what’s the first channel and offer you’d test?

Show HN: ChoiceBook – Stories Are Mirrors

Hacker News - Sat, 02/14/2026 - 2:55am

Hi HN,

I built ChoiceBook , an AI-driven interactive storytelling experience designed for self-reflection.

Instead of answering direct questions, you step into short, high-pressure narrative scenarios—Fantasy, Apocalypse, and more. As the story unfolds, you make choices that feel instinctive rather than calculated. ChoiceBook adapts the narrative in real time, then reflects back the decision patterns behind what you did: how you handle uncertainty, tradeoffs, moral tension, risk, authority, scarcity, and social dynamics.

The idea is simple: questionnaires measure what you say about yourself; stories can capture how you move when the world changes around you. ChoiceBook is meant to be a mirror—an engaging way to notice the themes you repeat, the values you protect, and the strategies you default to, especially when you don’t have time to overthink.

What you can do:

* Pick a world (e.g., Fantasy or Apocalypse) * Play through an interactive story by making choices at key moments * Receive a reflection that summarizes your behavioral signals and recurring tendencies * Replay across different worlds to see what stays consistent and what shifts with context

I’d love feedback from HN on a few things:

* What makes a reflection feel grounded and useful, rather than vague? * How should the product communicate its limits (self-reflection, not diagnosis) while still feeling valuable? * Which scenarios would you actually want to explore, and what would keep you coming back?

Thanks for reading.
