A fantastic mediaplayer, quite minimalistic and performant; it does what it's supposed to do!

Also has a fantastic commit where the author rants about locales: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/1e70e82baa9193f6f02... worth a read for some chuckles.

A long, informative read, with some profanities. Highly recommended!

25 years ago, Spolsky wrote an article called “everything you wanted to know about Unicode and character sets”. Those of you who only lived in the post Unicode/UTF world might find that one informative as wel.
