Another podcast player I quite enjoy discovering new shows is Breaker:
(though it can get a bit unstable at times…)

If someone wants a more interactive companion-book targeted more towards Python developers, check out "Probabilistic Programming & Bayesian Methods for Hackers":

Yes, definitely. I started doing something similar (though much more narrow in scope) while I was freelancing in Austria:

Ideally, we would have crowd-sourced instructions and spreadsheets with taxes, pension calculations etc. – like a Wikipedia for entrepreneurs.

A 15% cost reduction – not bad.
Possibly interesting – I'm working on developing a similar battery - solar panel off-the-shelf system that would be suited for people who live in cities (e.g. if you want to put a solar panel on your balcony):

Wow, this is a cool "interactive whitepaper" website :)

If you’re interested in this topic I really recommend The Animator’s Survival Kit by Richard Williams (the director of animation in Who Framed Roger Rabbit):

Most of the points from the article seem to be derived from the stuff the book covers in more details.

I suggest you check out this development in Responder then –released in v0.1.0 40 minutes ago :)

I'll continue helping Kenneth with this, cause that's a pain point I also want to solve for myself.
On a related note, I tried to build something similar for Django in the past. (it worked, but it's somewhat under construction again due to changes in Django 2)

Looks really well written – the fun & practical examples look very inviting.

I hope to see more open source online journals like https://distill.pub/ in the future. With hosting being so cheap (basically free for anything remotely open source), I really don't see a need for private publishing companies.

A beautiful sentiment :) I believe this should apply to tech as well – it shouldn't be an exclusive field and building logical apps should be simple. That's kind of why I chose to brand my freelance business as Punk Rock Dev.

That would be great – it's always good to have some competition ;)
Regarding feature requests I'd love to see a well-maintained B2 Django Storage. I'm currently using an existing implementation, but it's not that well maintained:

BTW, the Backblaze team themselves officially support a Python implementation of the API wrapper (the B2Api and Bucket classes):
https://github.com/Backblaze/B2_Command_Line_Tool/blob/maste...
As these are used internally in their CLI, there's probably a higher chance that they'll continue to work in the future.

Lately I've been adding prettier.io to all the new projects I join. Great helping tool :)

If you're looking for a good high-level abstraction, I really recommend the open source Plotly.js library:
(similar to HighCharts, but without the commercial license mumbo-jumbo)
Yeah, I see D3 itself as more of a tool tailored towards DataVis geeks developing new visualisation methods.
