leke··on Returning to Rails in 2026
Ruby and RoR is cool and all, but as these web apps got more and more complex, the need for static types became too important. What gave PHP it's edge was types and is the reason I'm still using it after nearly 20 years. PHP seems to implement those important things just in time. OOP, better OOP, types, speed boost, and next probably concurrency.
leke··on I put my whole life into a single database
I had an idea similar to this where you could add information about yourself and answer daily questions and get paid by companies who access this data. This could be an ethical way to share information benefitting all parties.
leke··on Jolla on track to ship new phone with Sailfish OS, user-replaceable battery
Looks like the Google news has peaked some interest. I'm currently waiting for my Xiaomi account to activate so I can unlock the bootloader and install Ubuntu touch on a Redmi 9.
leke··on LLMs work best when the user defines their acceptance criteria first
i wonder if the solution is to just ask it to refactor its code once it's working.
leke··on /e/OS is a complete, fully “deGoogled” mobile ecosystem
Oh, is this the deal with GrapheneOS too? Damn, I was excited about the Moto GrapheneOS collaboration.
leke··on Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS
I would buy a cheap Moto with GOS in a heartbeat
leke··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
I've asked this question to an Iranian colleague and his response was that it was extremely welcome and even though they know there will be collateral damage, it's better than suffering under a regime which have killed and will continue to kill many more people than what these strikes will do.
leke··on Show HN: Now I Get It – Translate scientific papers into interactive webpages
Do you happen to know if LLMs have issues reading PDFs? Would they prefer EPUB format for example?
leke··on Show HN: Now I Get It – Translate scientific papers into interactive webpages
metoo. I'm very interested to see what it can do.
leke··on Danish government agency to ditch Microsoft software (2025)
I would like to see tech related educational institutions incorporate contributing to open source as part of their curriculum. A lot of these institutions are funded by the government anyway, so it would make sense to support the technology running your country which funds you.
leke··on Loon: A functional lang with invisible types, safe ownership, and alg. effects
This reminds me a lot of REBOL
leke··on Oat – Ultra-lightweight, zero dependency, semantic HTML, CSS, JS UI library
I could speculate that someone in the past had the business mindset to create thousands of accounts over multiple sites and offers the ability to loan them out for a period of time.
leke··on Show HN: I spent 3 years reverse-engineering a 40 yo stock market sim from 1986
So what kind of source code can be so difficult to understand?

I've always wanted to get my hands on the Championship Manager 92/93 source code to see what gave it its "soul". What made that version so special.

leke··on AI agent opens a PR write a blogpost to shames the maintainer who closes it
I wonder how soon before AI has their own GitHub. They can fork these types of projects and implement all the fixes and optimisations they want based off the development of the originals. It will be interesting to see in what state they end up in.
leke··on Show HN: LocalGPT – A local-first AI assistant in Rust with persistent memory
Is it really local? Why does it mention an API key, or is that optional?
leke··on TikTok users can't upload anti-ICE videos. The company blames tech issues
So it went from being a social manipulation tool of one county to another and ownership changed hands.
leke··on European Alternatives
Is this getting popular because of Trump's shenanigans?
leke··on Windows 8 Desktop Environment for Linux
This would be nice for a Linux phone.
leke··on Sinclair C5
Way ahead of its time. Some kind of rain cover and maybe flip the wheel combination around and it would make a sweet ev for the bike lanes.
leke··on Changes to Android Open Source Project
You know, I could do without the telephone and SMS features nowadays. I just need a data SIM. Then the device just needs to run a Linux distro with a mobile UI.

I'm pretty sure my Linux desktop version of Signal runs great on small screens.

leke··on Over 40% of deceased drivers in vehicle crashes test positive for THC: Study
My question is, what is the difference in vehicle death mortality since cannabis was legalized in those parts of the country. If it's about the same, it just tells me that cannabis is a very popular drug.
leke··on Smartphone without a battery (2022)
I have an old Samsung that runs Android 4.4 and runs directly from USB without a battery. It's a shame phones don't do this anymore.
leke··on Nokia N900 Necromancy
I used to work as a software tester in Tampere, Finland with Nokia devices. We didn't test those devices in particular, but they were a big buzz in our office back in the day. I still have my n810, but haven't used it in years after the battery died. I remember adding a bunch of unofficial repos and having things like apache and python running on it and using it as a web server for a while. Eventually the battery was so discharged, even having it plugged in to the PSU would not be enough to keep it powered. It was such a shame it wouldn't run without the battery. I probably would still have use for it.
leke··on React is winning by default and slowing innovation
I'm sure there are use cases, but for the work I do, I've been able to get it done with either PHP templates, Alpine JS, and htmx.
leke··on Show HN: Dagger.js – A buildless, runtime-only JavaScript micro-framework
Buildless! I'm already interested.
leke··on Repetitive negative thinking associated with cognitive decline in older adults
Repetitive negative thinking was a symptom of my undiagnosed ADHD. Getting diagnosed and medicated took away the repetitive negative thinking, or as I called it ruminating negative thought patterns.
leke··on Cognitive load is what matters
Yep pretty much. This could literally be notes taken from the book including the phrase itself.
leke··on ADHD drug treatment and risk of negative events and outcomes
I got my diagnosis at 49. It took about 18 months, multiple visits to a doctor and 3 different specialists, and a lot of money, but it has been a game changer to feel somewhat normal. I'm only angry because I could have lived a much better life, if I was diagnosed early on. I really believe the people that could have helped me, knew what problem I had, but didn't want to help. I don't believe that people who called me stupid and lazy were that stupid. Even now I believe there are some barriers they have because as soon as each of my children turned 13, the call from the teacher came, informing me of suspected ADHD (ADD).
leke··on POML: Prompt Orchestration Markup Language
Do you have to install poml via the node or python or is the vscode plugin enough?
leke··on Abogen – Generate audiobooks from EPUBs, PDFs and text
How big is this app?
