Anything less than mindreading would suffice to UX?
The thing that I thought about today was that will anything less than mind-reading actually bring us the level of usability quality in digital systems which we seek? It probably sounds pretty odd, right? But if you come to think about it, our needs and craving for good quality software and user experience is actually…

On the roots of ownership in software design
Hear me out. I’ll set some context to the story so it won’t blast from out of the blue. Year 2022. I came home from swimming with my children in a place nearby which is really dear to us. Had fun! I was in a particularly good mood and really crunching it. So I decided…

Ray of thought – 2D graphics
Took the wonderful project of NCase’s Sight & Light code, and started tweaking it to my own uses. I really love the project, since there is such immediate gratification when just scrolling through the demo page, and reading and grasping how the ray casting is done, step by step. The page shows how the end…

tribute to GIF image
Graphics interchange format. We probably know gif as eponymous of memes in the internet. GIFs were the original breakthrough format for distributing images in a network, before Internet era. GIFs prevailed. They’ve come a whopping 35 years traveling with us in electronic medium. The meme explosion in Internet sociology made GIF relevant again, as GIFs…

How does Levenshtein edit distance work?
Hands on: Levenshtein distance tells the similarity of two strings. It’s called “edit distance”, because the allowable operations to shift from one string to the other are edits. There are typically 3 operations: insert delete replace (change 1 character) Algorithm developer probably asks one big question: what direction to take? What is the ‘algebra’ in…

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…

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.…
