Gajim and XMPP is still used out there? I miss the days when I could use pidgin for chat apps.

Now it is all wallet garden/app-per-service.

Would you port VLC UI from Qt to something like Electron or some other web-based solution? I hope not, but checking in terms of UI toolkit trends and solutions...

Do you have any tip for android app that can provide some enhanced experience reading the pdf articles (like from ACM?) on Android mobile phone?

I don't mean generic PDF reader for Android. I'm looking for something that provides similar user experience like Firefox's "reader view". Is there something like that?

I printed out the source code for the network stack and sat > down with a red pen.

Does anyone still do this to get to know new code base?

Yes, I'm serious! Amarok works for me. I use it on Linux and on Windows. I do agree with unstable (but not "highly" unstable in my case). Unresponsive UI is something I encounter seldom.

Google does not implement regex search support because they said somewhere that the data storage needed for the index would be huge. And since regex search is used only by a small subset of users, it is not worth the effort.

Why Firefox removes spdy/2 support? They don't want to support spdy/2 servers? Why?

PS: I'm not expert on servers :)
