How does Levenshtein edit distance work?
You know, I studied computer science but never graduated. This left me with a sort of deviant, peculiar greed to understand things on my own. I did read a Data Structures and Algorithms course, which was both laborious, and very interesting. I got a 4 our of 5 from the course. The book we used […]

Onko helppo elämä teknologian maali?
Kelpaisiko kaikille helppo elämä? Jouduin oikeasti miettimään tätä, samalla kun tajusin, että saatan elää itse eräänlaisessa väärässä uskossa. Teknologian edistyminen ei välttämättä ”tähtää” – tai ainakaan johda – elämän helpottumiseen, jos mihinkään. Teknologia voi ehkäpä kuitenkin olla (vain) neutraali väline, jonka de facto laajalle leviävät ja tuulta purjeisiinsa saavat käyttötavat määrittävät yhteiskunnan tasolla sen, minne […]

WorkNet simulations
WorkNet is a small Python3 simulation, that runs a simulation and emulates some of the dynamics of gig economy, where Participants bid for Stints. It’s totally unscientic and just a toy that I like to develop. How I visualize this is a sort of spider web. There are the Agents who are looking for Stints. […]

Algorithms in the household chores
Personally I find various household chores interesting to think about. There was a period in 2019-2021 (oh… you too?) when I was spending a lot of time at home, and saw repetitive chores. When doing these I couldn’t help myself thinking whether there would be a better approach. Thinking without questions in mind is, however, […]

Adminext tutkii, onko kaikki ulkoistettavissa
Aamusuihkun, aamukahvin ja työmatkan lisäksi tämä hetki on maagista ajatusdynamiittia. Teet jotain periaatteessa tylsää, toistuvaa, mutta sellaista jossa kuitenkin täytyy olla läsnä ajatuksella. Pyykki on oma fiksaationi, mutta siitä ehkä myöhemmin (oma avaimet käteen clothes-as-a-service pesulapalvelukonsepti!) Digityön järjestelmä on mielenkiintoinen konsepti. Pinnistelen paraikaa aivonystyröitäni kun mietin, mitä me teemme tietotyössä. Olen tehnyt kymmenisen vuotta koodausta […]

Zen of fixing a Washing machine’s Detergent Dispenser
Machines are wonderful pieces of human endeavour, until they snap, break or malfunction. Then it’s time to make a decision: fix or replace? Many times we’re very tempted to simply call a maintenance technician. However, it may also so be that curiosity starts to tickle us. This blog post is about the curiosity. Few words […]

Like a eat-all-you like buffet, or is it?
I was having a conversation about this particular meme. It depicts how Netflix was the perfect solution for its time. Then things got kind of sharded, and the meme suggests in a witty way that people are missing piracy once again, since they always yearn for that super simple solution. We are bound by silos. […]

Reminders are powerful
My WordPress actually reminded me that it’s time to post new stuff on my blog. Here goes.

Observation on tech – passwords and especially Facebook password
Tech goes forward in waves. Some of the ideas of what we see today implemented in our tools, was on someone’s sketchboard in 1980s. Computer graphics was theoretically very powerful and intricately designed, but electronics manufacturing methods for making equivalently superb GPUs was not yet there. GPUs nowadays do photorealistic rendering of computer generated imagery: […]

Pong classic game in JavaScript
The Pong is a legendary game. I found an excellent Pong version on Codepen. And then got into tweaking the code, bit by bit. The change log so far: Spacebar key pauses the game, freezing the ball. Space again to play! added a Slam! sound effect, whenever the ball hits the club, thanks jQuery for […]
