Show HN: CraftBox, Run a Minecraft Server on Your Phone I want to share my newest Android app with everyone on HN. CraftBox allows you to easily run a Minecraft server on your Android device. It is published in the Play Store, https://ift.tt/3oa6jmG... , and posted on GitHub: https://ift.tt/3IQuqi9 I know I am late to the Minecraft scene. I am a bit old to have been part of the original craze, but I now have a son who loves the game. Now that I have played it with him, I can see the appeal. I am an open source developer and the creator of UserLAnd, https://ift.tt/2pZzVo6 , so when I get excited about something, I am always thinking about how I can get involved and contribute to the community. I read an article on how to run a Minecraft Server on your phone, https://ift.tt/2LSxHlp , but I figured I could do better by not making people go through as many steps. So, that is a goal... make this simple. This is the first public release and there are many things that can be improved. You can see some of the issues I am going to be fixing soon in the GitHub issues. Anyway, please check it out and tell me what you think. Thanks!

Show HN: Replace “NFT” with “silly JPEG” while browsing Hey HN, Years ago PanicSteve wrote a hilarious Chrome extension to replace all instances of "Cloud" with "Butt". This year, I got annoyed at seeing inane NFT articles everywhere. Thus, NFT-to-Silly-JPEG was born.

Show HN: Random Data Generator for arbitrary data types Datasino is a command line tool that can come handy when load testing a service or database. Give it a data schema (many compound types supported, including recursive types), an encoding (JSON, CSV or ClickHouse) and a target (a file or a Kafka partition) and a data rate and it will generate a reasonably optimized (native code) random data source. See the top of the README for some examples. If you have any ideas on how to extend this tool so that it's useful to more people, please let me know. https://ift.tt/3IBKh42 January 26, 2022 at 05:08AM
Show HN: SPyQL – SQL with Python in the middle SPyQL ( https://ift.tt/3rJfzPE ) is SQL with Python in the middle, an open-source project fully written in Python for making command-line data processing more intuitive, readable and powerful. Try mixing in the same pot: a SQL SELECT for providing the structure, Python expressions for defining transformations and conditions, the essence of awk as a data-processing language, and the JSON handling capabilities of jq. How does a SPyQL query looks like? $ spyql “ IMPORT pendulum AS p SELECT (p.now() - p.from_timestamp(purchase_ts)).in_days() AS days_ago, sum_agg(price * quantity) AS total FROM csv WHERE department.upper() == 'IT' and purchase_ts is not Null GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1 TO json” < my_purchases.csv In a single statement we are 1) reading a CSV (of purchases) with automatic header detection, dialect detection, type inference and casting, 2) filtering out records that do not belong to the IT department or do not have a purchase timestamp 3) summing the total purchases and grouping by how many days ago they happened, 4) sorting from the most to the least recent day and 5) writing the result in JSON format. All this without loading the full dataset into memory. The Readme is loaded with recipes and there is also a demo video: https://vimeo.com/danielcmoura/spyqldemo Any feedback is welcomed! Thank you. https://github.com/dcmoura/spyql January 25, 2022 at 10:59PM

Show HN: Hacker XP – Hacker News styled as a Windows XP Outlook email client Hello HN, sharing my weekend project. I'm a fan of retro GUIs and fan of HN, so I built an alternative HN front end that resembles a Window XP desktop with an old Outlook email client.

Show HN: qme: simple utility for queueing long-running commands I keep needing a way to run long-running resource intensive tasks after one another. Normally, I'd write a script which loops over the items, but not knowing what needs to run (I pick files as I go through a folder), I knew it's time I create something to scratch my own itch. So, I've created this utility to queue up commands. It captures command, args, env and working directory and puts it in a queue, and runs it when it's time. At the same time, it spins up an RPC server to receive commands from other instances. If there's no server available, it becomes a server itself and waits for commands or shuts itself down after idling for some time. This is my first (published) Golang project, so guidance & review would be appreciated. https://ift.tt/3fMMi0O January 22, 2022 at 04:01AM
Show HN: Loadjitsu – a modern load testing alternative to JMeter Please meet Loadjitsu, my weekend project, years in the making. Over the years while building different apps and sites, I always felt that I need a modern load testing software.Tools like JMeter, ab are not very easy to use and it seems innovation in load testing which is a crucial part of any software release cycle has been ignored. This is my third attempt at making Loadjitsu, I am so glad that I can finaly release this. A bit more about the software 1. Powered by golang you can run load tests for tens of thousands of connections per second on very average hardware. 2. Cross platform, run it on Windows or Mac or host it on your linux machines 3. Lets you load test databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Mongodb out of the box. 4. Will keep adding more load testing targets in the future (even the more esoteric ones) I hope to open source Loadjitsu soon and let users contribute new targets. Hope this makes load testing fun again https://loadjitsu.com January 21, 2022 at 09:58PM
Show HN: Cursor – An AI Email Companion Hey HN! I built https://cursor.so/, a chrome extension to help you write email blazingly fast. Cursor has three key features 1) describe your email and have an AI write a draft for you 2) one-click to shorten your email and 3) highlight text to change its tone (make it more formal/casual/friendly). I hope that Cursor can make writing email more easy and fun for some of you :). Happy to chat about the AI or dev stack behind the product.

Show HN: Stop Putting AWS Credentials in GitHub Secrets Greetings! I've created a GitHub action that works that allows GitHub Actions to exchange a GitHub token for AWS Access Credentials. I've cultivated a few examples of it in action: https://ift.tt/3rt5qq6 I've always found management of AWS Credentials has been a pain. So this setting up this Action works like this: 1) A SAML Identity Provider is created in AWS 2) A Role in AWS is set up to trust that Identity Provider 3) A config file is added to the repository indicating which role can be assumed 4) The GitHub Action exchanges the Repo Secret for AWS Credentials using the SAML.to backend for the exchange Let me know what you think! I'm Happy to take questions and comments here or on Gitter: https://ift.tt/3tEk7cE https://ift.tt/33Mas8S January 19, 2022 at 01:20AM
Show HN: A tool to help you manage technical debt Caribou helps software teams manage long-term technical migrations in their projects. For example migrating from one networking library to another or migrating a codebase from one architecture pattern to another. These changes usually happen over a span of a few months and without any tooling, they can be difficult to manage. It’s difficult to understand how much progress has been made, what is still left to do and who are the engineers helping move the migration forward. Caribou was built to solve these problems. So how does it work? In simple terms, Caribou is a Github application which, after being configured, monitors all the changes in your repository and displays a dashboard with the progress of specific migrations along with who is contributing to these migrations. Caribou allows you to define all sorts of migrations using an easy-to-use rules engine; for example changing the project architecture, replacing a library or changing some coding conventions. You can get inspired by our examples in the docs section. Currently, Caribou is still in Beta. We believe the product can provide a lot of value as it currently stands, but there is more functionality that we’re looking to add in the coming months such as Slack integration and Pull Request comments so that engineers can get valuable feedback in their PRs. You can checkout Caribou here: https://ift.tt/2Yxru89 January 18, 2022 at 12:44AM
Show HN: Golang Cafe – Go Jobs Board – You Can Now Filter by Minimum Salary Hi Everyone, I have been working on and off on Golang Cafe for a couple of years. Golang Cafe[0] is the first Go job board with no recruiters and clear salary ranges. Engineers apply directly to companies. There is always a developers section where you can submit your Go developer profile and get hired (for free)[1]. This weekend I have added a new feature. It's now possible to filter jobs by minimum compensation. So for example here's a list of all Go jobs paying at least $100,000+ a year[2]. The project is open source [3]. Any criticism is very welcome. [0] https://golang.cafe [1] https://ift.tt/3upWKBt [2] https://ift.tt/3rnY8UE [3] https://ift.tt/2NnnQVd January 18, 2022 at 12:15AM
Show HN: Birdsong-find people that love the same music (Spotify) (alpha users) Looking for alpha users! See the last paragraph. Yesterday I randomly found a person on Spotify whose playlists I love. It's as if these playlists were made by me; I love them and now I have at least thee new good playlists to listen to. I immediately knew that I want to replicate this experience-finding people that love the same music as me. In the afternoon, I coded a simple web app. The app is very simple and halway complete but ready for users. The currently implemented part works a bit like Tinder selection: 1. you are presented one song you recently listened to a lot 2. a 30 second preview of the song starts playing and you are shown the song's cover, name, and artists 3. you must rate the song with either: - NO: I am sick of this song/I hate it - MEH: it's OK - LOVE: I loveee this song, it gives me the chills 4. repeat-go to step 1 with the next song See a screenshot here: https://twitter.com/touch_marine/status/1478772993602080775 The rest of the app (the half not yet implemented) will take this ratings and match them with others. You will get a list of matches and you will be able to go to their Spotify's profile and listen to their public playlists. I am looking for any users that would like to give the app a go. Unfortunately, I have a limited API access which means only 20 people can register and I first need to enter their Spotify email into the Spotify Developer Dashboard. To register send me your Spotify email to scout at touchlabs.io or on twitter to @touch_marine (https://twitter.com/touch_marine). January 5, 2022 at 10:34PM
