kermire··on Be Careful Celebrating Google’s New Ad Blocker
The fact that Chrome automatically disables extensions that don't exist in the web store, in the name of security, is probably not a good sign. If it is for security, then advanced users should've been given a way to bypass this restriction, but it doesn't exist. If the adblockers get removed from the store, there would be no easy way to use them without abandoning Chrome.

I haven't watched the video but why is it trash? An explanation is always useful.

I think there are strict laws against ragging in India and it's definitely not socially accepted at all. Where are you getting your information from?
kermire··on Instagram Stories hits 200M users, surpassing Snapchat
Instagram stories are more accessible than Snapchat stories. Snapchat has one of the most bizarre UIs I've ever seen in my life. I was so confused when I opened it the first time. Main screen defaults to the camera instead of showing the stories. That's probably because it's a camera app more than a social media one. Previously there were only icons, now there's a bit of text to describe things. That's good but it's just not a very interesting product anymore.
kermire··on Multiplying and dividing with Hindu-Arabic numerals and with Roman ones
I don't think anyone should rely on a site like http://www.crystalinks.com/ for facts. It's filled with pseudoscience, speculations and myths. An alternative source would be nice.

Hey, thanks for this. Was using WinDirStat. This is really fast! Plus I like the minimalistic interface.

kermire··on Traceur – A JavaScript.next-to-JavaScript-of-today compiler
Traceur was the inspiration for Babel. Not the other way around.
kermire··on Whatsapp: Video Calling
Interesting point. Never thought of it that way. But what about XMPP?
kermire··on LibreOffice 5.2 “fresh” Released, for Windows, Mac OS and GNU/Linux
There's a search bar for that in Office 2016.
