  1. Ask HN: How did early streaming services populate their music databases?

    Sorry if this isn’t the right place, but I figured someone here might be able to answer. I’ve been watching The Playlist about Spotify’s first few years, and this is a question that has bugged me in the past. Even way…

  2. Ask HN: Fun books about working as a software engineer?

    Are there any fun books, something like Liar’s Poker or The Big Short (both by Michael Lewis), but about working in SV or at a FAANG co? I tried to do some googling but wasn’t able to find an obvious answer.

  9. Google Forces Saving JPG as WebP?

    Version 72.0.3626.96 on Mac. Seems a little pushy to force users to use WebP, especially since Preview can't even open WebP format images. Figured the HN community might find this interesting.

  12. Ask HN: Comfortable, noise-canceling headphones.
