“Plugins are web apps built with standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript) and the Even Hub SDK.” I wonder if owners of these smart glasses who also hang out here have tried this. Might persuade me to buy a pair!

Side question: I love the charts in your blog post. Would you be able to share how they were generated?

Could you say a bit more about "it is very unreliable"? I'm considering using django-tasks with an rq backend [1] and would like to hear about your experiences. Did you find it dropping tasks, difficult to operate, etc. [1]

I created a developer escape room so I was interested in this. I've given it a try, and have enjoyed the first few puzzles. I'd be up for some cross-promotion if you were, too? My feedback would be: consider some hints. After a pl

Thank you for this, you made my day. I have recently made a new room for /dev/esc - my idea was that in the run-up to Christmas, plenty of dev teams would be looking for activities to do together. Full disclosure: it didn't w

Thank you. That’s an interesting thought about “aha” moments versus meticulousness. I’ve tended to offer “slow burn” puzzles, although I think there’s one exception in the escape room at present.

Really fun idea and a great implementation. I have been trying to come up with programming puzzles for my own project https://www.dev-esc.com - an escape room for devs My own “Show HN” is at https://news.ycombinator.c

The challenges don't have instructions. The idea being that they're not necessary: curiosity is sufficient. Jump into an example puzzle with one click here: https://www.dev-esc.com/link_puzzle/promo/ I&

I've built an online escape room for developer teams. I am seeking alpha testers. Come and try to escape, and help me while doing so! * Free to play (for now). Asks for an email address, completely optional. * Fully remote; BYO video

Love this article. I wonder if this is a brain-type thing. It really rings true for me. Developing the idea, I have a similar multiple definitions problem, in a much smaller context, with the word “prescription”. In the UK it means all of:

Launch one of the Christmas songs, let it play for a few bars, then grab one of the blobs and sing a solo. Amazing!

Love this. Reminds me of when I tried a git-based taxonomy of sauces a while back. https://www.rmorrison.net/mnemozzyne/2019/01/20/saucy-chat/ Here’s the diff between tartar sauce and mayonnaise ht

Totally agree with you about the need to click "+" and then remove two lines you don't want. I was planning a drop-down as you suggest. Then I got a full-time job and have stopped working Estigator for now. It's really

Excellent - thank you for sharing. I wanted to be able to allow custom probability distributions for the tasks/items in estigator.com - uncertain.io is a great way to capture them

Thanks again for this. Now fixed.

by mozz100 8y ago
Thank you. It's not open source yet - but I'd like to release it one day I think. More probability distributions (maybe event custom ones) were something I was thinking of for the future. Maybe a paid one.
