I was getting frustrated with AllMusic, Metacritic and Spotify excluding new music releases, or giving wrong dates for new music. So I built something for my friend and I to use for finding new releases.

It uses MusicBrainz for the data and then cross references Spotify and Bandcamp for links, album artwork and genre data. Built on Django. It was a fun little side project that I use every week now.
Society is moving forward, it's happening. It's not something that's going to correct itself fully in a day, month, or year. It will take at least another generation to fully work out these problems, but it's happening.

There's a nice quote that I just read, but I forget the author: "It's easier to raise strong children than to fix broken adults". This is how we are going to fix sexism. Not by writing and reading huge personal diatribes. Not by protesting. Not by affirmative action. But by raising smart, empathetic children.
What's with the free advertising? They were not the ones to do the original work with coreboot or removing the non important parts of the ME. If anything, Purism has lied, taken credit for other peoples work and given people a false sense of "privacy" and "security". "Almost completely removed the ME" is not good enough and there is way too much room to do malicious things.
It is in the sense of being unpredictable (assuming person not deliberately cheating). There certainly some aspect of rolling that may reduce randomness (unevenly balanced dice) but as long they are not easily predicted, its random enough for many usecases.

Random though: First thing that came to my mind at school when I was introduced to theory of probability was "if you really sit down and start rolling a dice hundred of times to see how random it is... what about those times when a dice will fall into crack in the floor, your cat will take it over or otherwise unmeasurable results? The answer "we ignore those" made me realize that I am to practical for math :-)
Fyi... MZ's salary is just $1 a year. Other programmers with salaries of $1/year are Larry Page and Sergei Brin. (But setting aside pedantics of "net worth != salary", I think we all get your point.)
The source in that image from Tesla are extremely suspicious. A Google search for "IIT Takeshita" gives you only that image. Further research took me to this page. http://www.iit.co.jp/, where I got the plain text "I'm sorry.	It is under construction. Please wait."

By the way, your own sources contradict each other - even if you _do_ believe that image from Tesla, the Gigafactory's completed capacity is 35 GWh/yr. This blog post states the same [0]. The segment which is done is cool, but it is surrounded by construction equipment and I doubt it is producing very many cells.

Finally, since I doubt you're in the battery industry, there are two very important numbers: production capacity and production. For example, 2014 worldwide production capacity was almost 30 GWh, but worldwide production was only 5.4 GWh [1]. This is due to a lot of factors, but ultimately only a fraction of manufacturing capacity is used at any given time. A lot of graphs that you see on blogs will conflate the two.

Well even with reproducible builds how do you check what actually is running there? That'd be the ME reporting "I'm running version X" without a way to really verify it. Also if you flashed it you cannot be 100% sure there is no other component that is still running a rootkit.
Agreed. The overal design direction (have those glyphs "#" as it resembles thorns for a Game of Thorns inside a tower filled with brambles) won over usability in certain cases.

I came here to mention 'Deep work' (which I found a very effective way to do and talked about on HN previously [1]) AND another tactic which is giving me good results.

The trick I found to complete things is:

Do not switch ladders of abstractions. When working on a modern web application (with backend, frontend, css, testing etc) if you start with writing backend API calls, then just write all of them first. Starting with the API call for /user', /signup, /login, /compose, /rate, /play. Don't worry about it working. If you do TDD then fine, but if you don't tests before you write the code, then avoid writing tests until you're done writing the basic code for your API. Then you write tests for it and make sure that each endpoint at least works.

Then write E2E testing for it(for the backend). E2E tests are a great way to build your app with it's core functionality full working and validated. In other words, write unit tests which first call /signup, then /login, then /compose then /play (which is I presume one full flow of a user). This will help you figure out issues with your API and it kinda feels like writing a full app.

Once you're done with testing, then write the frontend, just simple HTML, don't worry about CSS. Don't try to grab React + ES6 + Redux boilerplate or things like that. Just go with the simplest thing. Even if after every action user has to refresh to page, so be it. Oh you heard about CycleJS and think that you should be using that instead? Well guess what, you purposefully chose a really terrible technology to build this app, so once you're done making your app in that crappy tech, then you can rewrite it in CycleJs or anything else you want.

This way, even if you abandon your CycleJS rewrite effort halfway, you'd still have a completed project(and trust me, you will never let your app be stuck at static HTML with no CSS). Chances are that you'd abandon it, when you've already written your app in CycleJS but made a new rewrite effort to write it in Vue.JS.

Basically idea is, you think in terms of one layer at a time, and you defer all desires to refactor things until you are done finishing that layer.

You're right - the 80% is exaggerated. I got it from https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/ua/urban-rural-2010.htm.... Their definition of "urban" is actually outlandish, in that it includes "urban clusters", which means towns that have > 2,500 and < 50,000 inhabitants. I assumed the 80% just included all the sprawling, dense suburbs, but I see the definition the census is using here is much looser.
You do not have to necessarily have a single price.

You can present different prices through A/B testing and see which one is more profitable.

Then, devise a way to make sure all features pull their weight. Get rid of the features nobody uses or improve them, but don't invest on development and maintenance of features nobody needs (feature creep).

Feature creep translates directly into unaccountable product people and software rot. Software rot translates into checked out engineers that either hate their job or don't care about the project, and heavy/inefficient organizations.

Let's imagine a theoretical world in which every service had a 12 or 15 character limit on their passwords and no other restrictions.

Does anyone really believe that the list of most common passwords would not contain equally inane entries as the ones presented in this article, just modified to be longer? "qwerty" would just become "qwertyuiop", etc. People using these passwords are just filling the minimum requirements with something easy to remember. Making them fill more characters wouldn't really change that.

The only reason the most common passwords are short is because so many services allow short passwords. Users gonna be users no matter how long their passwords need to be.

That said, I agree with the article in spirit. I hate password restrictions. I just think that the argument about most common passwords being short is a spurious one.
The entire internet is built upon thousands of layers. There are so many vectors of entry that no "default warning" would ever suffice.

While it seems nice and neat at first, it can easily become messy because inevitably you'll end up with a long property name that messes up the style. Say you want to round the top borders. You either end up with an additional 7 space wide alignment:

.square {
position : relative;
width : 300px;
height : 150px;
display : flex;
align-items : center;
justify-content : center;
background-color : white;
border-top-left-radius : 10px;
border-top-right-radius : 10px;
}

Or you end up with an inconsistent alignment:

.square {
position : relative;
width : 300px;
height : 150px;
display : flex;
align-items : center;
justify-content : center;
background-color : white;
border-top-left-radius : 10px;
border-top-right-radius : 10px;
}

If you go for inconsistent alignment, where is the cutoff? I eventually broke myself of the habit trying to align the right side. It's too much effort to manage for something trivial.

Equirectangular is not a projection. For all of web mercator's faults, it at least preserves direction, which is nice when you're looking at streets/etc locally. Regardless, all of the web mapping stuff standardized on web mercator ages ago. Like it or not, for web mapping, you're stuck with web mercator, unless you want to serve your own streets/etc.

The problem is that you're hitting water at 120mph. A 60mph impact of a 50kg person is 35kJ; a 120mph impact of a 50kg person is 150kJ. That's 4.5 times the energy. I'd almost certainly choose water (with a streamlined, pencil dive profile) over concrete, but that doesn't mean it's not going to be far more fatal than any other options.

Confusion as Twitter accounts marked “sensitive”
A large percentage of the books I read are history or fantasy books with maps. It's such a pain to refer to the maps in a Kindle book that I almost never do it, and they are generally rendered illegibly anyway.

Another example is history books with image plates. In a physical book it's easy to flip to the plate section and skim through it rapidly, on a Kindle, no, and of course any color is lost.

There are other aesthetic qualities to books that are often lost, e.g. flip through a copy of Steven Johnson's Wonderland. Notice the color interstitial pages and the way images are integrated with the text. All lost on Kindle.

In general any sort of subtlety in layout/use of fonts is lost on Kindle (e.g. sidebars, or little italics at the margins summarize a given section)

There's of course the obvious issue of ease of passing on/reselling a book.

This is only a partial enumeration of the reasons I've reverted fully to print books after flirting with the Kindle.

A somewhat related, but distinct question is: how do you get the skills to make those high salaries?

I don't care about salaries persay, but I do care about being valuable. Of course, the two things are very related.

Here are some things I've heard people mention that are chicken-and-egg kind of answers:

- Get a great mentor

- Work at a great company

- Work on a high performing team

- Work on a difficult product

Unfortunately, all of these presuppose greatness to begin with, and only help to become even more great. Which is nice, but not useful for someone trying to get there to begin with.

I'm in my 2nd year of being a "professional", and I worry if I'm on the right trajectory, or not. By the way, if someone is reading and is willing to spare 15 minutes of their time I'd love to get your advice, email in profile. Moreso if you're based in the east.

That isn't the problem, it's the reason why giving them cash is better. Because if they can't afford to put gas in their car to get to work, using that money will keep them from borrowing it from the credit card company. And then in six months they'll still have $500 less credit card debt plus having not paid 25% APR for six months.
