English as Internationalization
http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_write_Simple_English_articles
English has borrowed liberally from other languages, so it's no surprise that English spelling and grammar are inconsistent and vague. As more non-native English speakers use English for business, correspondence and study, English will change, in ways that are hinted at by this alternative edition of the English Wikipedia.
Game developers Wanted (Must already have a game with high scores)
https://www.gamerholic.com/gamerholic_api.php
Gamerholic.com is a competitive gamification platform. Gamers play each other for money in heads up games and tournaments for money. We are expanding to mobile and browser games with a competitive high score API. Gamers make money for setting the high score, game developers get paid each time your game is played (no ads)

A just-for-fun script for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol Public Wi-Fi network 
https://github.com/vood/fuck-ams
The other day I got stuck in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for more that 10 hours due to a flight delay. I was very disappointed. "Will work from here" - I decided. Once I connected to public Wi-Fi spot a message welcomed me stated that access would be limited to 30 minutes per device :( I didn't give up and wrote this small script that would reset mac address and would reconnect to the desired Wi-Fi network automatically every 30 minutes. I hope it can be useful for someone else.

Introducing a tool to help you find websites you forget
http://folindux.com
Folindux exists because sometimes I find a website, bookmark it, and then forget what the name of the website was.

I do this with album covers, book titles, and faces. Having a visual memory, the name of something is less memorable than the look, and colors of the thing itself.

So when I see something I want to remember later, I just hit the "Take Screenshot" bookmarklet in my bookmark toolbar, and know it will be on Folindux when I look for it later.

Show HN: A Rust content editing tool for the GPT-3 Completions API
https://github.com/justinluther502/writing_helper
I have been experimenting with using the GPT-3 Completions API to co-write blog articles. I wrote this Rust binary to speed up the content generation process.

I use two text files. One for prompt text, the second for suffix text. I edit both files in a regular text editor and then just run the executable whenever I want GPT-3 to fill in some content.

This isn't commercial-- and you have to have your own OpenAI API key to use it. I'm learning Rust so any tips / organizational corrections are greatly appreciated.

Building For The User(3 min read)
http://polyfounders.com/2013/10/building-for-the-user/
Undoubtedly the #1 goal of any business
Idea: CrowdChat
Two groups have a text chat using a web interface, arguing about a certain topic. For Group B to reply to what Group A says, each member of Group A proposes a sentence. Then, each member of Group B quickly votes on which sentence of another member of their group they like best. (You don’t have to propose a sentence, and you don’t have to vote on one; both proposing a sentence as well as voting on one are time-limited to just a certain amount of seconds, though.) Then, the highest-voted sentence will be shown to Crowd A as answer. Crowd A now goes through the same process to formulate a reply directed at Crowd B, and so on.

To join, you can pick any of the two crowds based on reading the chat log, provided this group hasn’t reach its limit of X members (beyond just group size that limit may also depend on how active current members are in writing sentences). If you don’t like what “your” crowd is saying, you can switch groups at any time and then start argue for the other side. (This helps against keeping on defending your previous point of view just to keep face, in other words, you may more easily allow counter-arguments to your old view convince you to change your view.) The lowest number for a group on each side is just one person, upon which the voting process and the time limits will be skipped, and you can just text-chat normally, until another person arrives and joins either group. (If a group consists of just two people, they too skip voting.)

If during a vote two sentences have the same amount of upvotes, a random sentence will be picked. During voting and when the picked sentence is shown, the person who said it will remain anonymous.

Show HN: Redux Remote – A high level networking library for realtime apps
https://github.com/yehzhang/redux-remote
I am a fan of serverless. I love how it voids the burden of building a server, which can be half of the work in a client-server architecture. However, serverless has a few blocking issues when I try to build an action-based multiplayer online games:

- The latency is unacceptably high. A typical round trip time is user noticable, because database accesses are slow. If a serverless function cold starts, the latency will be even higher. Google search shows me an interesting blog measurnig the exact latency numbers (https://serialized.net/2021/03/serverless_gaming_limits/), which aligns with my impression.

- The game can still use a server. Many in game actions required atomic updates to shared state, and many clients can request such updates simultaneously (e.g. increments to team scores on a scoreboard). At minimum, the clients need a serverless function to sequentialize simultaneous updates, such that they do not update based on stale state. However, one database access is already slow, let alone multiple, sequentialized ones. One solution is to add an in-memory cache (such as Redis) for shared state and update that instead. However, an in-memory cache is expensive and unnecessarily complex. The lowest tier of ElasticCache on AWS is $10/month. For comparison, the lowest tier of EC2 server is $5/month, which is sufficient for small games like what I am building. Why use an in-memory cache when I can use memory?

Hence, let me introduce the library.

Hi there,

If you're testing mobile testing application, you probably understand the challenges :-) Simulator and emulator are a band aid and OCR is super expensive to acquire and maintain. Add the tethering issue and the fact that you have to jailbreak your devices, makes it a nightmare! Right?

NOT ANYMORE!

Sorry, I'm just too excited I had to share with you guys :-)

What do you think? Isn't testing inside the app make the most sense? No tethering, no jailbreaking, all gestures recorded ... this is AWESOME!

How Do I Compete (A Series of Unfortunate Events)
This week has been 75/25 bad to good. Me and my co-founder finished our iPhone app(and got approved) this week. Our whole start-up revolves around the smartphone market. That was the good. We got in contact with TechCrunch and the person talked with us, asking to inform her when we would go live. We emailed her the second Apple gave us the green light. No response still. An article about a company that still has no actual product gets written about. Google's launch of HotPot creates a direct competitor, so now we are really nervous because they are a gorilla and we are an ant. Wow. What now?
Dating Site That Features Constructive Criticism For Failed Encounters.
http://gma.yahoo.com/singles-dating-lets-ask-why-never-call-back-165718722--abc-news.html
I thought this idea was interesting because it illustrates that even in a market as competitive and saturated as online dating, there are still problems that have yet to be addressed.

While all these other companies are focused only on connecting people, this site asked the simple question "why didn't my connection work out?"

Like the idea or not, I think it's a good example of entering a tough market by asking questions that the other guys are missing.
