Hi! We’re Lokjo, a world wide online map, build in europe.
We support local shops and do things a bit different:
– no data collecting.
– no algorithm.
– no zoomlevel listing, we show all searched locations at once.
– corporate locations are stripped from the search list. Fair is fair.
There’s 5 languages, we’re based on OSM, and have lots of useful functions, read the quick FAQ to make the best use of the map.

I went to a cafe near my home. I sat down and scanned the QR code on the table. It took me to a website displaying the cafe’s menu. It asked me for my name and Whatsapp mobile number. I entered the details and placed the order.
In 5 mins my order arrived at the table. There was no OTP verification, and no one came to confirm the order. Is this what the peak ordering experience looks like?
It was a slow workday, and I thought I might as well open this QR code website on my laptop and have a quick look under the hood. Maybe I should’ve just made my own coffee and stayed home because I didn’t realize I was opening a can of worms.
protip: when referring to your favourite programming language’s features, call them spells instead to sound more mysterious and cool.

Winamp is a multimedia player launched in 1997, iconic for its flexibility and wide compatibility with audio formats. Originally developed by Nullsoft, it gained massive popularity with still millions of users. Its development slowed down, but now, its source code was opened to the community, allowing developers to improve and modernize the player to meet current user needs.
This is similar (her arrows were of varying length) to using a binary search algorithm hunting for where the code was broken using bisection: repeatedly halving your search space to quickly zoom into the problem.
Another important aspect is that small commits while fiddling to solve an issue can help you determine what small commit was actually solving the issue.
A while ago, I learned about 86Box an “IBM PCemulator for Windows, Linux and Mac based on PCem that specializes in running old operating systems and software that are designed for IBM PC compatibles.”
Until then, I mostly used DOSBox for emulation (which I had known after Windows 2000 dropped DOS support), but sometimes DOSBox doesn’t cut it as it emulates DOS (now mainly for gaming), not a full x86 based PC.
