RPGFS: Crossing an RPG with a Unix Filesystem
https://code.google.com/p/rpgfs/
As my January personal code project, I created an experimental game that considered what would happen if you crossed an RPG with a UNIX filesystem. The result is RPGFS.

You have some simple commands available (ls, cd, pwd, rm) and you fight "bugs" in the filsystem using the rm command (everything is a file). You also consume "items" with rm. The goal is to descend the filesystem to find a special file to unlock another command to destroy the filesystem.

This was written as part of a monthly project I'm undertaking in 2014, and represented a small amount of work (hack). It's written in C for Linux, and you can grab it at the URL if interested.
Ask HN: What's your favorite online-backup tool?
Hey HN -

It's almost 2011, and my backup solution still calls for semi-regular huddles between my laptop and a few external drives, which I randomly scatter between home and school for redundancy. This is pretty low-tech, all things considered, and I'd like to enter the future. Right now at best I have a hodgepodge of things that I will try to upload to Google Docs or suchlike. Not so pretty!

Where to start? I could set up from cron scripts and buy Amazon S3 space, but that really doesn't seem to be the most elegant solution (perhaps for some software projects, but not for a personal basis).

Options I'm familiar with are, most prominently, Mozy (mozy.com) and Carbonite (carbonite.com). I guess using something like Dropbox could fulfill this need to some extent as well.

Would love to hear feedback about these services for automated backups and any other alternatives I should consider.

Thanks!

Show HN: Simple Hacker News Client for Emacs
https://github.com/clarete/hackernews.el
I wrote this small client to read hackernews from my favorite editor. It's currently using an external HTTP API [0] but I'm working on my own proxy [1].

I'd love to actually scrape and cache all the info I need using lisp. However, my time constraints are keeping me away of that goal. I could definitely use some help here! :)

I'm also planning to add support for comments and posting new things. Any feedback is highly appreciated! Thank you!

Show HN: Create your own prediction market in two minutes
https://manifold.markets
Hi HN! Excited to show off the project we've been working on for the last couple months. We started with an idea for a crazy twist on prediction markets: You come up with a question for traders to predict, and then decide the outcome yourself.

For example, you could create a market on “Will my date with [X] go well?” Anyone can bet on it, and the bets create a forecast on the chance your date goes well. After the date is over, you get to judge the result and reward the traders who picked the correct side.

There are so many ways for this mechanism to go wrong: the creator of the market can be dishonest in deciding the outcome, or you may just disagree with their resolution, with no recourse. Nevertheless, we pitched user-created prediction markets in a grant proposal to the blog Astral Codex Ten, and somehow we won!

Since then, it’s been an exciting two months of us hacking away to realize this idea, and now we’re happy to announce the official launch of Manifold Markets! We’ve gotten so much support from early users who are just as passionate about prediction markets as we are.

You might ask: Is there a reason to create a prediction market, and not a Twitter poll? Are outcomes really that different from a simple person-by-person vote?

We believe so. The magic driving prediction markets is accountability. When wagering a scarce currency, those proven right live on to make future bets, whereas those with less-savvy bets have their influence diminished. Prediction markets succeed because they reward accuracy, and that makes all the difference!

Our goal is to make prediction markets an order of magnitude easier for you to create and share. It should be as frictionless as a Twitter poll. As part of that philosophy, we’re launching with a play money currency, which we believe is just as fun and predictive.

We’ve already built up a passionate community of predictors and market creators, including writers like Richard Hanania and James Medlock, who have predicted everything from CDC recommendations to newsletter subscriptions to fatal shark attacks.

There’s so much unexplored space to ask questions and get valuable forecasts. For example, with conditional markets, you can create several related markets that help you make a choice based on which has the highest likelihood of success!

Let us know if you have any thoughts or suggestions; otherwise, looking forward to what markets you create!

Show HN: PRQL 0.2 – a better SQL
https://github.com/prql/prql
Hi everyone — thanks for your interest in PRQL — let us know any questions or feedback!

We're excited to be releasing 0.2[1], the first version of PRQL you can use in your own projects. It wouldn't exist without the feedback we got from HackerNews when we originally posted the proposal.

KnightOS, a third party OS for TI z80 calculators
https://github.com/KnightOS/KnightOS
KnightOS is a third-party Operating System for Texas Instruments z80 calculators. It offers many features over the stock OS, including multitasking and a tree-based filesystem, delivered in a Unix-like environment. KnightOS is written entirely in z80 assembly, with a purpose-built toolchain. Additionally, the KnightOS kernel is standalone, and you can use it as the basis for your own powerful operating systems.

You can download the latest (experimental) version here: http://www.knightos.org/download/
Common JavaScript Gotchas
http://www.jblotus.com/2013/01/13/common-javascript-gotchas/
PHP was my first programming language, and my initial exposure to JavaScript was through libraries like jQuery. There were things about JavaScript that always seemed to trip me up in the beginning due to how they worked differently than PHP. Heck there are still some things today that are confusing. I want to share some of the things that I struggled when I started working with JavaScript. I am going to cover the global namespace, this, knowing the difference between ECMAScript 3 and ECMAScript 5, asynchronous operations, prototypes, and simple JavaScript inheritance.

Show HN: WAPM – WebAssembly Package Manager
https://wapm.io/
Hi HN!

I’m Syrus, from the Wasmer team. We just released the new version of WAPM that is an order of magnitude better than the previous one (that we also announced here in HN two years ago! [0]), enabling an incredible experience for using and publishing WebAssembly packages.

The tech stack that we are using includes:

* Python and Django (for the backend) with Graphene (for the open GraphQL API [1]) and Django Channels with websockets over GraphQL [2] for subscriptions

* Next.js [3] with React-Relay [4] and Tailwind.css [5] for the frontend

* WebAssembly and Wasmer [6] (for the online shell)

Vercel for serving the frontend and GCP for serving the backend.

Please let me know if you have any questions, I’d be very happy to answer them!
