It's generally hard to find bathrooms or trash cans at any tesla supercharger. They're not part of the design.

You either have to find an amicable business nearby or you're out of luck.

Right, gas stations are quicker stops and mostly they have a public restroom too. But probably not in a central part of SF.

I remember in the early days of web services, using the apache portable runtime, specifically memory pools.

If you got a web request, you could allocate a memory pool for it, then you would do all your memory allocations from that pool. And when your web request ended - either cleanly or with a hundred different kinds of errors, you could just free the entire pool.
