https://app.dev-esc.com/new_game/ - an online escape room for developer teams. I aimed to make a team-building experience that was a bit different. unashamedly geeky: you’ll need puzzling and some coding to solve the challenges. Fully remote for teams of 1-8ish; free to explore. Requires a computer, although you can explore on mobile/tablet. Originally it was free to play - I got a fair few plays off my HN post, now…

Oh I played this! I bought it to play with a friend over Discord and we had a real fun time, it was sort of the perfect niche (for us) Personally I wish there were more of these. Having the one was nice but it's hard to play with another person when you already know the solution. And it's just fun to play more puzzles with the same friend. Thanks for making it :3!

Looks like there’s a new puzzle now, give it another look!

https://flipcoords.com/ The web tool will switch the position of latitude and longitude in text. It's a common issue in GIS industry as there's no agreement which order is the correct one (and tools/software want one or the other). The initial Show HN dicussion derailed into which order is the correct one, second-guessing why the tool could be any useful to anybody and it went downhill (well, flagged) from there.

Not sure it's working. I keep hitting the flip button but nothing is happening.

Hitting flip simply takes the entered (or default) coords and displays two columns of info below, maps and data about the location. Hitting it again doesn’t toggle anything further. Slightly confusing at first.

https://crowdview.ai - search engine for forums and discussion sites Like many of you, I find Google results to be full of SEO spam and have resorted to adding "site:reddit.com" or "site:news.ycombinator.com" to all my queries (since 2015!). Otherwise, it's really hard to figure out "what does a genuine, real life human think about this thing?". But limiting my results to just Reddit isn't ideal because so much great…

This is neat, I'm going to try using it on some searches tonight. I have two pieces of immediate feedback:

- I need a date range option. I'm searching for something about a piece of software and getting answers from around 2011, so far out of date that it's useless.

- Really need some padding on the left side of the page ;)

https://github.com/jameslawlor/reddit-playlists I made a bot last summer to generate and update weekly Spotify playlists from 100 or so music subreddits based on the top submissions of that week. Update operates entirely through a GitHub action so no resource spending. I don’t often finish my side projects so was pretty happy to have something finally usable and shareable, it’s been fun showing friends!

Super cool! It would be great if the description field had a link to the subreddit and a link to the master list.

Pivotuner[0]: automatic real-time pure intonation and microtonal modulation This is an audio plugin which I've been working on over the past couple years, I've gotten input from some pretty high-profile artists like Jacob Collier! Finally released it publicly late last year. Pivotuner is a plugin which tunes MIDI data in pure intonation in real time. Besides enabling beautiful purely-tuned chords on keyboards, this a…

Wow - the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon must be real. I just created my first song using automatic real-time pure intonation and uploaded it yesterday[0]. I used a plugin called Scale Breaker[1] that connects to MPE instruments in Ableton (used Wavetable for all the synths in the song since it's MPE enabled) and set the tuning to automatic Just Intonation (12T) with 5-limit symmetric aug 5th tuning. I edited all the bass…

Yep, the plugin works with MPE, though I'm also planning to add support for MTS-ESP, and MIDI 2 when it has wider support.

I haven't used it, but Scale Breaker is definitely a cool plugin, I do plan on stealing some features from it. Pivotuner has a step up in that it supports microtonal modulation resulting naturally from pure intonation (which is a bit of a niche case), but Scale Breaker's ability to sync across tracks is super useful and something I am planning to add.

Thanks for sharing your track, it's always nice to hear things using pure intonation!

Posted a game here I made a few months back: https://reach-100.com It’s pretty hard. Some people have found solutions but even knowing how to solve it, it remains pretty hard to complete. Hope you’ll enjoy it a second time :)

Great game! Thanks for posting!

Thanks I really appreciate that. MMA (UFC specifically) is still wide open to advantage betting because lines are often highly narrative-based. Data itself WRT to MMA is often misleading though for so many reasons (e.g., low quality of opponents presenting a skewed perception of fighter ability). However, looking at specific things is often quite useful. The submission charts section of the site was particularly usef…

I've done (by my own definition) quite a lot to scrape and analyze NCAAF and NFL games in order to identify trends for sports betting. I'm somewhere between your average sports bettor versus a data scientist, probably closer to the former. Let me know if you'd ever like to connect. It would be cool to expand my network of people in this area.

I'm far from a data scientist. I'm just someone that has an interest in building UIs and saw a potential to look at data in a way I hadn't seen before. I'm not actively working on this right now, but if you'd like to drop a line for whatever reason, I still check my Twitter for messages when they come up.
