Funny and nostalgic, recalls old boss-key games
From 3 comments
Excellent! Reminds me of those old MS-DOS games that often had a "boss key" which switched the game display to some fake spreadsheet.
jabl on HNThis made me laugh, nice one. Reminds of all the old apps/games that had boss key/buttons -- I wonder if there's a gallery of a bunch of them somewhere? Creative 'fake' docs and…
ChrisArchitect on HNI think this is hilarious. And let's be honest here. Getting a score feed like this is much less distracting that launching a browser and visiting some site and somehow ending up…

Derivative of an earlier Remote OK VS Code clone by pieterhg without clear credit
From 3 comments
So cool to see this on top of HN. Pankaj took my VSCode for Remote OK and modded it for cricket scores. Great work and it even still says index.php, hah. If you'd like to see the…
pieterhg on HN@dang seeing as this is a derivative of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28472170 but the credit isn't very clear, could you give the original Show HN another repost perhaps?…
tailspin2019 on HNIt is enough. He gives attribution.

Would be better as a VS Code extension or a simple terminal command
From 3 comments
If you use VS Code, why not just build that as a plug-in?
efitz on HNIf it’s just the scores, I would think using curl/wget in a terminal window might be simpler.
irrational on HNClever! Next step would be to build a VSCode extension so you can actually work in VSCode and keep track of live cricket scores

Make a VS Code extension

Nice work! Reminds me of the old days of the 'Boss Key' in most games of the 80's. +1 on the suggestion to actually make this a VSCode extension so you can have it running in a…

You all might like CyberCoderOnline, a multiplayer game which runs in a browser and looks like vscode (though it also has another mode that is slightly more graphical). It would…

Lynx over SSH as a discreet browser
From 2 comments
Separately, I used to keep an ssh session to one of my servers open with lynx running, so I could browse HN and have it still look like work to a non-dev
katzgrau on HNI always seemed to have a putty window with a colorscheme similar to my editor. Then I ssh into a VPS, browse whatever over lynx, have IRC open...
