cicko··on Migrating to the EU
Hasn't TomTom completely pivoted to OpenStreetMap? From direct contact, I know that they are very active in OSM communities now.
cicko··on I turned Markdown into a protocol for generative UI
Image width.
cicko··on Leanstral: Open-source agent for trustworthy coding and formal proof engineering
Why do you expect to understand an article you randomly read off the interwebs?
cicko··on Why Technology Makes Us More Productive but Not Richer
Not sure your argument stands. The same technology exists today, yet one can't get Russian gas or oil out of the Gulf. Technology is not everything.
cicko··on Does Where You're Born Matter More Than How Hard You Work?
Couldn't agree more. Growing up in a civil war certainly did not raise my chances of getting a job at a good company. Of which there are none, so it's fine.
cicko··on Are LLM merge rates not getting better?
I don't think that reviewing code is so important as reviewing results. Nobody is reviewing the IL or assembly code when they write in higher level languages. It's the end result that matters in most cases.
cicko··on No, it doesn't cost Anthropic $5k per Claude Code user
If anything, you are confirming that $170 covers heavy Opus use profitably for the provider.
cicko··on Kim Dotcom says Palantir allegedly hacked
It was a secret agent.
cicko··on Wero – Digital payment wallet, made in Europe
? Venmo is useless for many of us because it is limited to the US
cicko··on Instabridge has acquired Nova Launcher
Time to say goodbye, I guess. It's been a while and things kept going south. Hello Lawnchair, my old friend.
cicko··on Radboud University selects Fairphone as standard smartphone for employees
... from a given set of options.
cicko··on Every data centre is a U.S. military base
Yes!
cicko··on Org Mode syntax is one of the most reasonable markup languages for text (2017)
Ahem. When I started with Markdown, I was regularly experiencing all the issues mentioned for years. The most popular format was Word (doc). Perhaps I should have stuck with that?
cicko··on Ask HN: Any Microsoft employees/devs here? What's happening to Microsoft?
They're supposed to chat, not navigate, no?
cicko··on Why agents matter more than other AI
I hope that works out and the queues in the mountains become a bit shorter. Or most other beautiful outdoor spots.
cicko··on Ask HN: What tech job would let me get away with the least real work possible?
<3
cicko··on My 2026 Open Social Web Predictions
Which language is this written in?
cicko··on Show HN: WalletWallet – create Apple passes from anything
It does not seem to generate barcode passes, although the option is there. My PassWallet only shows the QR code from a generated .pkpass.
cicko··on Bitwarden / KeePass Diff
Compare your KeePass and BitWarden databases.
cicko··on Apple says it may stop shipping to the EU
can't wait!
cicko··on How much do electric car batteries degrade?
I recently drove in an early Tesla with over 400K kilometers on the clock. Still runs quite fine and the range seems longer than my Zoe's.
cicko··on AI is predominantly replacing outsourced, offshore workers
>They end up losing knowledgeable people who could've turned the ship around, the remaining employees become apathetic/lazy, and brand loyalty sinks to the bottom

Right. And AI is here to fix that!

PDFs are not executables.
cicko··on Orgzly Revived: a community-maintained version of Orgzly
It's not going to get added unless someone like you, who has that problem, sits down and writes a working code that solves it.
cicko··on Orgzly Revived: a community-maintained version of Orgzly
It's not "that" kind of note-taking app. It uses OrgMode, vs Markdown, if that helps. Seems to be more oriented to tasks and GTD, in particular. The limitations, as noted by others, is mostly in the software stack. Without Emacs it's not a full OrgMode client but a mobile helper. Depends on how you use it. I could barely survive without it nowadays. The reminders and the outlining for projects has become essential.
cicko··on A startup allegedly 'hacked the world', then came censorship, and now backlash
By conducting terror attacks preemptively?
cicko··on What PWA Can Do Today
Wasm should also work, no?
cicko··on Three years after its revamp, Firefox's Android browser adds 450 new extensions
Pull to refresh what? It's an annoying feature that's already built right into Firefox for Android and doesn't need an extension.
cicko··on Any Suggestions for a Password Manager?
Not free if you want TOTP.
cicko··on Ask HN: Good resources to become financially literate
