Recommended videos are how I find the new content and I find it valuable. But my home page is set to /feed/library, so I'll usually just finish watching videos from history or from watch later or some other list I curated. I'll open the main page when I really have time to spend. I use that time to fill my watch later lists.

I had very similar experience. We built a custom workflow engine, with visual designer in a few weeks, which then went with our DMS custom solution. Any workflow engine we tested, before or after the build, was either too complex or too expensive. We had few bugs and newbie mistakes in ours, but nothing too bad. We sold few more installations quickly because we could implement any customer need promptly. It's now more than 10 years and I moved on, but the company is still selling the engine with other solutions. I would say, a big win for build vs buy.

Ditto. You should start with a monolith with a vision of how to break it down into microservices (if ever needed).

When my company got a contract for a new project, my colleague created a prototype, a bare-bone solution that had 9 web projects that communicated over REST, because microservices. I suggested starting with monolith. Guess whose design was accepted because it was more sexy. It never got to production for multiple reasons, but part of it was that development was awfully slow. Orchestrating changes across services when development is in flux is extremely hard.

A lot of nudist camps were active in communist Yugoslavia, called FKK (Freikörperkultur), created and visited mostly by West Germans. So I guess there was not much difference between East and West Germany. For some reason, Germans in general are prone to nudism.

Well, most people tried to reproduce until very recently. What do you think what changed? The genes of the most people in one or two generations or our culture? I'm not saying genetics do not play a part at all, but the culture and knowledge can suppress it or express it. I recommend reading "The Meme Machine" which explains the concept in details.

Such ideas are not transferred through genes, but through knowledge exchange. So, although OP has not reproduced, it doesn't mean he cannot spread his knowledge and still influence a lot of people.

I'm not calling out Linux or Ubuntu here. I'm disappointed with all OS's, except with Mac OS which I didn't try. I can continue the story. After returning to Windows 7 which was great, guess what, Windows 8. I skipped this version, had just a customized 8.1 which was tolerable. Tried Debian, but I couldn't live with such a limited distro where my browser can't upgrade itself. Got Windows 10 which works fine, modified with Classic Shell because I can't stand new (not so new anymore) start menu. Ubuntu is in VM for some Python work but I still don't dig the UX there. Mint is probably closest to good UX I can find because it doesn't try to force me to use my PC as a mobile device.

I did this when Vista came out. I said fuck it and installed Ubuntu, I had enough of Microsoft bullshit. Then Ubuntu upgraded and moved all window icons to the left side and rearranged them awkwardly. On the next update, they upgraded the sound subsystem and I was without sound until I bought my next PC. Another update came and computer went to sleep when watching movies, so I had to move the mouse every minute to fix it. I said fuck it and installed Windows 7. There's no escape.

This. There maybe are some downsides to Firefox but it still feels better than chrome. I'm staying with it

It happened to me too, while I was trying to find the domain name for the new project. It was free and the next day it wasn't.

But, what godaddy does with the domain they registered? Do they try to sell it to you for an exorbitant price? What's their deal?

I wondered about this too. In the DMCA policy they state that authors can self-publish on their platform but they don't monitor, screen or review uploaded media, which means they don't have any contact with the authors. Too bad. They could start getting infringement notices.

But in most of the eastern Europe movies are not commercial anyway. They are financed by different sponsorships from state and local companies. They don't make a lot of money once they are made, with rare exceptions. For older movies it's hard to find actual copyright owners. I think some of them could be considered abandonware.

I'm trying to decide if I should wear the mask or not, but whatever I read the only question is if a mask can protect me from getting the virus. But the question that interests me is if the mask protects people around me if I have the virus (and I don't have the symptoms yet). If it does, then everybody should wear a mask.
