After 8 years of Android KTX, it's being killed. "The KTX libraries were killed because the adoption of Kotlin has been such a resounding success. All extensions have now been merged directly into their respective main library" jakewharton.com/an-update-on-a…

@evowizz Congratulations man! Your designs really inspired

Inware just crossed 500K downloads on the Play Store 🤯 When I started building it back in 2018, it was literally just a small app to train myself, a fun little experiment. I was expecting it to have at most a few hundred of users. In fact, the initial versions were so generic, it was supposed to be called "Device info". Very creative, I know :) Another thing is, Inware was originally supposed to have ads. Removing ads from Inware was a last minute decision before publishing the initial version. Honestly one of the best decisions I've made, and that's never changing. Inware 7 will launch very soon. I still have many ideas for the years to come :) 500K downloads for an app I primarily made solo, no ads, no marketing budget, and a name that was almost "Device info". Still can't believe it honestly. Thanks for using Inware. Seriously.

Good morning. My day did not start well. I received a distressing email from a young doctor. "Dear Dr Abby, I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent introduction of an MD program in Ayurveda (MD Ayurveda Manovigyan Evam Manasa Roga) at NIMHANS, an institution widely regarded as a premier center for evidence-based psychiatric and neuroscientific education. Despite sending multiple emails to authorities including the National Medical Commission Chairman, Directorate of Medical Education Karnataka, Karnataka Medical Council, the Director and Dean of NIMHANS, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and the Indian Medical Association, I have unfortunately not received any response yet. This development raises serious concerns among practitioners of evidence-based medicine. Integrating fundamentally different systems of medicine, particularly within a premier national institute,risks blurring the line between scientifically validated practices and non-evidence-based approaches. If such initiatives continue unchecked, it may gradually influence other medical institutions across the country. I am particularly concerned about the apparent lack of response or intervention from the Indian Medical Association. As a representative body of modern medicine practitioners, IMA’s role in addressing such critical issues is essential. I sincerely hope you will consider taking this matter forward and help safeguard the standards of evidence-based medical education in India. Thank you." Now, I cannot stop the Government from destroying what the scientific community has built over decades. It is easy for them to do this - to showcase nationalism, civilizational, traditional and cultural pride - to appeal to emotions of the people - to maintain a vote bank from a certain section of the population. But such acts slowly and steadily, erode scientific temperament and damage reputation of major institutions and demean/downgrade medical and research output from India. NIMHANS has always been a big target for pseudoscience infiltration and they are systematically taking over, in the name of integrative medicine. I understand the active and current faculty and leadership at NIMHANS are castrated from voicing concerns, but I call out to the Alumni and the strong general medical bodies in Karnataka/India to prevent such courses from getting legitimacy in colleges of repute - because tomorrow, an Ayurvedic quack will proudly show a certificate of graduation from NIMHANS, similar to a DM or Mch graduate from the same institution. This is an insult to the scientific community who shed blood and tears to get into and complete gruelling training programs at NIMHANS. Please tag the medical organizations who you think will have the balls to take this up. An MD course in Ayurveda should be isolated to All India Institute of Ayurveda and such third-rate institutions and not an institute of repute like NIMHANS. As examples, I have attached excerpts from Ayurvedic teaching syllabus on "Ayurveda Psychiatry" and what these so-called "MD Ayurveda" graduates learn. Tell me, is the promotion of this primitive, primal, inhumane, misogynistic, nauseating history of medicine past worth it?

@android_poet Its about time we need to normalize atheism in india 🔥

Bhagat Singh an atheist from India who fought against the British had an extraordinary clarity of thought at such a young age. Even today, his ideas continue to inspire. He was from my state, Punjab. We may never be able to do for our country what he did, but I believe that once you read him, you rise above religion, caste, and class. You stop fighting people over different ideologies, learn to respect freedom of speech, and yet never bow down to those in power.

How awesome is your life?😎🚀

This is the worst thing about MVI. Crash rates drop to zero Apps become so stable and impossible to crash and eventually there will be no bugs to fix and you'll be laid off as its so easy to add features, managers will just use AI. No developers needed
