anikdas··on Ask HN: How get started with reading books?
I really appreciate your comprehensive suggestion. It definitely have opened up options for me. Among all your suggestions I think I would go with

> - Some "classics" can be considered middle grade (warning: some of these reflect racist and colonialist 19th and early 20thC patterns of thought): Robinson Crusoe; Peter Pan; the Jungle Book; Alice in Wonderland; Black Beauty (not racist, it's about a horse); Dr. Doolittle; Just So Stories

> - The Harry Potter series starts off at an advanced middle grade reading level and gradually increases to a young adult reading level

> - Another thing that might be fun would be books of myths from various cultures. I remember reading a big book of Norse myths and another of Greek myths around age 8-9. You could probably start with a collection from a culture you're already familiar with, which could assist with understanding.

Also, thank you for the complement about my writing!

anikdas··on Ask HN: How get started with reading books?
definitely! I don't know if you have heard of Rabindranath Tagore (Nobel laureate). I do have favorites for the writer and I think his works have been translated. Will look into this.
anikdas··on Ask HN: How get started with reading books?
> Are you reading fiction or non-fiction?

Currently not reading anything but would prefer non-fiction books.

That's great suggestion! But given my age (26) and time constraints, it would be hard to put my time off for books intended for young readers. Anyway I will try my best to do so! would you suggest any books for me?

Not a Tesla but gets the job done!
anikdas··on Families earning $117,000 now qualify as “low income” in California's Bay Area
And here I am earning $1200/mo (3 year dev xp) and considered one of the highest paid! Also living a pretty comfortable life (own house/car/heated water/AC).

It's pretty strange how geography affects living standard!

anikdas··on Ask HN: Does anyone want to pair program with me?
I am used to Python, JS. I am in the NLP/Chatbot field for past 3 years. Have a cool idea to implement that includes data scraping and visualization.

If you have free time, I am reachable at my email: anik at anikdas dot com.

anikdas··on Google starts blocking “uncertified” Android devices from logging in
Not really! The thing is from a broader perspective it seems the popular Chinese brands have relatively cheap smartphones but if you are from any of the South Asian countries, these phones are still pretty expensive for us. There are lots of small local companies that sell re-branded phones imported from China and those are even cheaper.
anikdas··on Google starts blocking “uncertified” Android devices from logging in
Surely that's something I would do always. But imagine getting a non branded Chinese phone with decent specs and being able to put ROM of your choice! That would be fun!
anikdas··on Google starts blocking “uncertified” Android devices from logging in
How do you install LineageOS on a random Chinese android device? How do you find the builds? I guess LineageOS only supports a handful of devices. Just curious about the process. I might as well start doing the same.

anikdas··on GitHub Discover
I use http://usepanda.com/ for browsing through trending GitHub repos and read all tech related news. It has a nice feature of viewing feeds in columns. Great for spending two hours in the morning.
anikdas··on Show HN: Find it for me (Search engine for Facebook pages)
Before searching on Facebook pages were allowed, I wrote this tiny (dirty) JavaScript code to search posts through Facebook pages. Few things are still broken but keyword search works!
