Show HN: Bog Gobbler Word Game
https://crosswordislandhopper.herokuapp.com/playGob
Two years ago my pandemic project was an online multi-player variant of Scrabble named Crossword Island Hopper where you capture territory by placing words on a board. It proved to be wildly unpopular.

More recently I have been working on Bog Gobbler, which is a variant of Boggle where you capture territory by finding words in the grid. The territory-capture element is much more relevant in the multi-player game, but also affects the mechanics of solo games.

This one is a little more popular and there is a daily solo challenge where everyone plays the same grid, with a global and personal leaderboard.

You can go directly to the daily challenge at: http://crosswordislandhopper.com/dailyChallenge

If you know how to play Boggle the one thing you need to be aware of is that after the first word you find, all subsequent words must include at least one letter that you already "own".
Ask HN: What's the vaccination outlook in Africa and other developing regions?
What is the timeline of expected COVID vaccination in Africa and other developing regions? I have heard a lot in the press about COVID stats in the US, Europe, East Asia and Oceania, but not very much about Africa and South America or parts of South Asia/India.

Ask HN: stop ocsp.apple.com yet keep the appstore working?
I'm on a mac obviously... Still Mojave (need some 32 bit glory)

In my /etc/hosts file I've got this line

0.0.0.0 ocsp.apple.com

It works a charm, apps on MacOS start nearly instantly, even cold. Mostly noticeable with my own cocoa apps. So I'd like to keep it that way.

That said, it also seems to break the appstore. If I load the appstore app, it complains about "We could not complete your purchase. Cancelled", which works fine if I don't block ocsp.

Has anyone got a solution for this?

My first thought is running a proxy that would make the difference and allow or deny...

@Apple for god sakes let advanced users turn off this security feature.

Ask HN: A potential employer said he will get back to me, how long do I wait?
I'm in this position at the moment.

I have contacted a potential employer, a cool little startup I would love to help out, by sending through a cover letter and my CV. The founder got back to me and said he was a little busy and would get back to me when he has a chance to read through my specs.

I'm now in the process of tossing up how long I wait before sending a polite reminder. It has been over a week now, is this too short a time to push him to get back to me? It's fine if he is busy and still hasn't gotten time to appraise me, but what do I say as a gentle reminder without seeming too pushy or needy?

Ask HN: What's it like to be a designer? Would you recommend it as a career?
I've been interested in startups for a long time, and have taken a few of my ideas through the planning stages, but it's becoming clear to me now that just conceiving a startup and mocking it up does not bode well for my financial situation / will most likely end in starvation. I really enjoy the design process, and I'm starting to wonder whether I would enjoy working as a designer (HTML+CSS+graphics). I'm interested in finding out whether there are any freelance or agency designers here who could tell me about the "trials and tribulations." I've read some horror stories about the low pay and thankless clients, but I'm searching for some firsthand accounts of the daily-designer-life.

Writing portable code is very important but it is one of the aspects that most people neglect until it is too late to realize its importance. Till few years ago, most people writing code for personal computers were not worried about the data sizes on their machines. They didn’t even think whether the machines, on which their code would be running, would be 32 bit or 64 bit.

Ask HN: Combining Exercise and Gaming at Home
What solutions have people found for combining physical exercise and computer/console gaming?

TL;DR:

I have a recumbent exercise bike, and have found I can play 4X-style games by having my mouse situated on a nearby table. But that won't work well for action games, nor for games that require a keyboard or flight stick.

I've looked into building a sturdy shelf for keyboard + mouse, to pair with a recumbent exercise bike, but all the newer bikes seem to have a control console where the keyboard/mouse need to be. (My backup plan is to modify one of these bikes to move the control console off to the side.)

I've also considered console gaming, because the controllers tend to be wireless and handheld, but I don't think they'd hold my attention as long as the games I care about would.

I'm personally limited to recumbent bikes because of back issues, but upright bikes and/or treadmills are interesting as well, because family members.

EDIT FOR CLARITY: For my personal use case, I don't care about the entertainment being in synch with the bike. I've just found I can bike for far longer if I have a computer game to prevent tedium.

Anonymous to join Bahrani opposition to F1 Race

For the uninitiated: F1 is hosting a race that has been held in poor light amongst the population of Bahrain, and many others around the World; they were successful in disrupting and stopping last years race. Will their newly found allegiance with Anon prevail this year as well?

I personally have lost all interest in watching F1 as a motor sports series in 2008 (for obvious reasons) and now mostly follow it to monitor and follow the presence of corporate and political collusion. This is just another example of why.

I'm entirely objective and neutral on the matter, mind you; I and wanted to see what others with greater skills and knowledge in technology gauge of the effectiveness of these 'cyber warfare' tactics. If I'm not mistaken they mainly operate using DDS attacks, right? So far the main site is still operating ahead of the first practice session in a few hours.

Facebook automatically publishing Page posts under your name.

Ed Bott: "If you actively share a link, a post, or a photo, you expect that shared item to go out to your friends immediately. In this case, however, the posts are going out under your name because at some point in the past (in some cases in the distant past) you visited a page and clicked Like. [...] One associate whose name was attached to a rabidly right-wing political post said she disagreed vehemently with the sentiment it expressed, and she couldn't imagine why it appeared under her name."
GitHub + Kickstarter + HumbleBundle – Paid Open Source
Hey,

I'm new here and don't really know if this is the right place to ask this but here goes:

I want to find a way for open source contributors to get paid.

My solution is a service much like Github for software but it should have a hardware section and a web store.

There should be a few kinds of contributors to every project: software developers, hardware hackers, testers, investors, project owners etc. They should have a way of deciding how much of the income goes to each category of contributor.(e.g.: the software developers get 10%, hardware 10%, investor 10%, profit 10% etc.)

Think of an open source thermostat (best example I could think of). There are people involved in developing the software, the hardware, marketing it etc. People are free to download the schematics, 3d files for the casing and the software for free but if the product is good enough (and has the necessary permits) people can also buy it.

In this way you could start a project, find co-owners, find programmers, find hardware guys etc etc etc but everybody gets something out of it for the long run. (royalties)

This is my idea.... Don't know if I made it clear or how it sounds to you but What do you think?

Planning to opensource an online course aggregator – in Node.js
Planning to opensource an online course aggregator – in Node.js

I also want to launch a small demo website that helps people search courses. While redhoop.com, mooc-list.com and other aggregators exist, I am not sure what USP this one will have at the point - other than being open source.

Here is what the group can help me with ...

1. How can I open source and use it to gain some followers ?

2. Can I build a business out of the OSS project or atleast engage more people in the effort?

3. Send me problems/ideas to navalnovel at gmail dot com, on what a USP can be for an Opensource Online Course Aggregator.

4. Follow me on github - www.github.com/flipflopapp and be notified in a few days of my new open source project .

I am looking to make interesting friends and people who can skype with me/give me any ideas.

Show HN: I embedded a book search into Notion
https://www.notionreads.com
Hey HN!

(Full transparency: I've not been a very active member of this community (yet). But I want to change that and thought it could be a good start to showcase a project that I've built recently.)

I read a lot of books and always loved having some sort of digital bookshelf where I could easily keep track of books that were recommended to me, keep all of my notes & highlights and share what I'm reading with friends.

For the past 10 years, I've used Goodreads for this. But I became more and more frustrated with it - Amazon seems to mostly neglect it. At the same time, I started using Notion to organize pretty much everything else in my life.

I saw how other people organized their books and reading lists in Notion but I felt it was a burden to manually transfer all of the book data.

That's why I built a little app that's embedded into a Notion template to provide a book search natively inside of it. Now you can search for, and add any book to your Notion bookshelf without leaving the app and with no manual data entry. I also built an importer to transfer all Goodreads data to Notion (including beautiful book covers) with the click of a button.

You can check out my digital bookshelf here:

Ask HN: Should GitHub and StackOverflow cross-reference bugs?
I find myself looking for debugging help both on Github and StackOverflow. Sometimes, it's more appropriate to check StackOverflow for a quick answer from peer dev and sometimes I should ask the question directly to code maintainers on Github.

I worry that bugs don't get enough exposure when they are posted on one site but not the other. If I post on StackOverflow, the devs might not see it. If I post on Github, StackOverflow users may just re-ask it on their own forum. I would love to see some type of cross-listing of bugs on both sites, does anyone else agree?
