At least on Android, VLC UX is quite professional-ish. I never had a problem with finding something. Maybe because I am power user. But my non-poweruser friends are also happy with VLC.

Instagram UX is horrible in my opinion. For anyone who knows to, say rename a file, Instagram UI / UX appear worst of class. You can't find many settings. Stories are horrible design made for few use cases, Captions appear like co

Basically I have some toy accounts for those sites, in names that read somewhat like Fortran variables, sans meaning. Currently using this thing called 33mail. Temp-mail works most times too, but 33mail forwards me the emails so I can even

Adding to that, I can't run ad blocker as easily on the App. Btw, I use RedReader or Slide for browsing reddit on mobile. Especially RedReader is fast, and looks simple in AMOLED black theme. Both are open source, though they both miss

I am not a prolific vim user, I used nano for same purpose a month ago, where its keybindings were so customized that I thought I'd rather take a chance to learn vim (I am a student). Have heard about vimwiki. But maybe because I am a

I find org mode little complicated for my taste. My note taking is some plain text files in hierarchy and vim. It works even on Android phone using termux. And I am pretty much used to it. For todo, I have a shellscript that takes an argume

If you mean not buying a Mac, I heard that is possible by virtualization of mac OS using some QEMU/KVM Hack. I don't know if it needs modified builds of OS. if so, stay away from that..

I can't agree about the dot. Dot makes it easy to chain things left to write, and also almost always dot based syntax is more readable than stuffing all arguments in parenthesis. xs.delete(x) vs delete(xs,x) And virtual / regular

People have these vague notions about what technology can do because "influential" people in our industry read sci-fi badly like children.

I don't like to say this but Mozilla leadership sucks. In the light of previous layoffs, there was a discussion that the CEO, who doesn't even have a proper technical background, is getting too high of compensation. I have also h

Thank you a lot for posting this link. I am majoring in CSE in India and I think you guys have it still better. India's engineering education (maybe except IITs) is completely screwed up by people who don't know what they are doin

I am actually happy English is the language. India has several languages each with small population of speakers. Having access to education in English is big plus. If it was Hindi, all south and east Indians will be in serious disadvantage.
