leke··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
Hey, keep your damn AI agents in their sandbox!
leke··on Boot a Virtual iPhone via Apple's Virtualization.framework
Can this be used to test the phone's browser on localhost?
leke··on DDoS against Norwegian government IT infrastructure – status
The bus card ride purchase system was down today in my part of Finland. I wonder if it is related.
leke··on AI makes programming differently difficult
Yep, I feel fortunate that programmers that made it well before AI are going to be very sort after in a world where software development is going to explode and be in very high demand.
leke··on AI makes programming differently difficult
Today a co-worker told me he thought this would mean programmers would get more money because we have been making so much, so quickly, with much fewer bug reports, it's saving the company lots of money on man hours.
leke··on AI makes programming differently difficult
I'm stealing this for an office sign.
leke··on AI makes programming differently difficult
If the AI is asking you questions and requiring you to make decision after decision, then perhaps it's a spec issue. I know I've written a good spec if the AI does not ask any questions and doesn't get anything wrong after implementing the user story.
leke··on Gmail thinks I'm stupid, so I left
I was forwarding something to my wife and I see this other person suggested in the recipient list. The weird way the suggestion UI is designed makes it look like they are already added, but I assumed I would have to select the person in the second forward box to add them. Anyway, I won't migrate for now though because I hardly use email anymore.
leke··on Chuwi Minibook X
So where can you buy one of these mythical notebooks for 350€$!?!?

Every time I try to search, it's either unavailable or 100s€$ over the original price?

leke··on Chuwi Minibook X
Watch out guys, Chinese manufacturer CHUWI was found to be involved in a mislabeling scandal that involved its CoreBook X and CoreBook Plus laptops. The company advertised these laptops as having the AMD Ryzen 5 7430U CPU, but in reality, they used the older Ryzen 5 5500U CPU.
leke··on The dead economy theory
Did WhatsApp spawn from Facebook Messenger? Perhaps this is what all those devs created.
leke··on Does anybody like React?
My company is currently using PHP templates, but is thinking of replacing them with react components because the new front-end devs like them. Is this a bad idea?
leke··on 'Fuck you, Bambu': How one private message could change the face of 3D printing
I've just bought my first 3D printer and I decided against Bamboo because of the drama that has happened lately, and I'm glad I did.
leke··on Mercedes-Benz commits to bringing back physical buttons
I don't own an EV yet, but if I ever do, I don't want a single screen. I don't even want electric windows.
leke··on Ask.com has closed
I thought I remembered using this in the 90s when it was Ask Jeeves.
leke··on Ask.com has closed
Nice, I guess nobody is going to bother my Ask Alko side project now.
leke··on Your phone is about to stop being yours
This is going to make it more difficult for non-open source projects to get a foothold in the future because people are not going to trust a promise any more. Like, I have this thing called a smart phone. Is it open source? No? Oh well.
leke··on Tell HN: An app is silently installing itself on my iPhone every day
The power of meditation :P
leke··on The great Scouse pasty war
Well, not sure if it's classed as a cake, but my favourite desert there was the egg custard tart.
leke··on The great Scouse pasty war
I used to love my Sayers sausage roll as a kid. I haven't lived in Liverpool for 25 years now, but sad to hear Sayers is no more.

Obligatory dad joke.

How do you make a sausage roll?

Push it down a hill.

leke··on What killed the Florida orange?
I find these stories fascinating. Since it mentioned the orange originally came from China, I wonder if there are varieties that are resistant while still tasting good.
leke··on Fix monitor that goes black, off or blinks due to static electricity in chair
Nice, I made a cotton slip for my seat, which worked the same way I guess.
leke··on Fixing a monitor that goes black, off or blinks due to static electricity (2023)
This was happening to a colleague's monitor. As it happened frequently when either of us got up, I suspected it was the fabric of the chair, which was probably some kind of acrylic. I made slips for the ass part of the chair from 100% cotton, and to my amazement it fixed the problem.
leke··on Turn your best AI prompts into one-click tools in Chrome
I wonder if I could use this to write browser test cases.
leke··on New Modern Greek
Has nobody tried to create an alternative English spelling a bit like the Chinese have done with Pinyin. This would be more for the benefit of learners rather than trying to change Greek identity.
leke··on Scientists mapped all the nerves of the clitoris for the first time
Meta
leke··on VitruvianOS – Desktop Linux Inspired by the BeOS
I'm so confused right now.
leke··on VitruvianOS – Desktop Linux Inspired by the BeOS
So this is a lighter weight alternative to other Linux desktops?
leke··on Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps
This is great news for my wife and my parents, but it would really be nice to have the choice when it comes to my phone's OS. Just like I had with Linux. I boggles my mind how the components in a phone are somehow different to the components in a PC in that they are unaccessible to people who write drivers for them.
leke··on I beg you to follow Crocker's Rules, even if you will be rude to me
I'm English and have been living in Finland for decades. This is a very Finnish thing in the workplace and I love it. Now and again we will get some new "foreign guy" and it reminds me that some cultures (not all) are following these over polite, social formatting rules. It's a bit annoying, but they eventually assimilate :P
