Strongly agree here. Letterboxd is the best thing that has happened to me in recent past. It introduced me to almost endless list of absolutely fantastic movies I didn't knew existed especially non-english movies no one talks about. An

Criterion is the best place to get "important classic and contemporary films" if it is available in your region. I am also hearing a lot of good things about Mubi these days though I have not tried it personally. I don't have

I don't think the problem is with twitter here. Let people have opinions, even if you think they are useless. They are opinions after all. Your issue should be with the maintainers who will remove any content on the slightest objection

I feel the same with Twitter re-design too. Everyone was hating the re-design when it was launched but my twitter use increased from once or twice a week to couple of times a day after the new design. It is amazingly fast(on desktop at leas

I love Letterboxd's approach to movie recommendation wherein they don't provide any. Users can create arbitrary lists for all kinds of stuff based anything like genre, themes, feel, mood, cast/crew etc. There is probable a h

Just go to any popular torrent site and see the number of people in the swarm. A little harder for less popular stuff but nowhere near dying out.

After mucking around a bit, I found this doc[1] which worked pretty well for me on Ubuntu 19.10. There is also some effort underway to build an appimage on their forums[2]. [1] https://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi/

This post very nicely summarizes what I now realize I have been doing subconsciously all the time. Writing in paragraphs with headings, turning short else branches in guards, refactoring "sharp saw teeth" etc. Good to know that ot
