My favorite Douglas Adams' procrastination story is when he was offered £50,000 to write Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy calendar. He then procrastinate it until the deal fallen through and got paid £25,000 for doing nothing.[1]

I used to run an image board written in Python with around 15m PV/month on a Pentium 4 machine in 2004 or so. The first bottleneck I found was the database. Some query optimization and caching fixed it very quickly. It goes a really lo

IMHO, one of the best thing in Apple Maps is that they localized the street names to those one familiar to locals. I live in Bangkok, and Google Maps always say something like “Road No. 3” (which was not wrong, but nobody here calls it that

--info=progress2 actually gives you the progress of the whole transfer (but I don't think you can do both). You can use --info=name0,progress2 if you don't care about individual files scrolling the terminal.
