The same as taking over any legacy project applies, really.

Start out with some expectation management - the current state of the solution prevents progress from going fast, and your stakeholders need to understand that.

Then get some tests going, such that you can try to defend whatever value the system has, if any.

Finally, start refactoring as much as you can get the space to do. Repeat until the system reaches your desired state.

Handed to review, handed to maintain, handed to extend?

All of the above

Spring: Never, my partner is allergic to tree pollen released during the spring, nor does the indoor temperature warrant opening the windows

Summer: Sometimes in late summer - I am allergic to grass pollen highly prevalent in early summer. Once they clear, I open the windows when it’s warmer inside than outside, to cool down my apartment slightly

Autumn: Rarely. The temperature usually does not warrant opening the windows

Winter: Never. It’s far too cold to let heat intentionally escape

How I avoid suffocation: my apartment is well-ventilated, this is not an issue whatsoever

What’s Andrew Rousso doing in the image? Seems completely unrelated to the content of the article.

Buyer beware - farming is actually really hard work

I imagine trying to keep up with feeling all of those emotions must be like playing a song on Guitar Hero that’s just a bit too fast for your current abilities

How would it even work to have 1000s of emotions each minute? That’s a minimum of 16,6 emotions every second. Is he under the impression that women have superhuman time perception?

While this is bad, I’m using the Pixel Weather app, which doesn’t seem to be affected by this change?

There was a time when investing deeper into nuclear would have made a lot more sense. That moment has passed, though. The economics are not on the side of nuclear and the numbers are getting worse by the day - nuclear is getting more expensive over time while renewables and batteries are trending in the complete opposite direction.

It’s basically impossible to get any nuclear built without heavy subsidization because of how poorly they function economically, not to mention how impossible it is to buy insurance for such a venture. This is not inherently bad, but it does definitely displace other areas we could be subsidizing instead. I would be in favour of this if nuclear didn’t have a completely natural replacement in renewables and batteries.

It’s owned by Salesforce. Big ick.

Seems particularly high in levels of snake oil to be honest

I assume most of them will have no citizenship in a second country for them to be accepted in.

A pragmatic solution would be to deport them out to sea.

That must be incredibly scary for the horses.

Well, you’d lose support for devices which can’t handle software DRM playback, old YouTube clients installed on things like TVs which no longer get updated, if you want to support things that only get Widevine L3 support (most devices) you’re not really going to move the needle since Widevine L3 had been broken since like forever, etc.

The main thing YouTube would gain in practice from such a move would be to get DMCA as a legal tool to crack down on people ripping YouTube videos, but that’d require some very significant resources invested into driving Legal processes against average consumers ripping videos, and the return on investment for that is almost certainly abysmal.

EDIT: I thought of two more reasons:

• Given the enormous scale of YouTube’s transcoding pipeline, just adding in a DRM step into the mix will cost non-significant amounts of money
• All old content will remain non-DRM, because a re-transcode of the full YouTube catalog would cost an impossible amount of money

It’s not too late to return!

For most local trips (up to 5 km), I will either walk or bike as my default option. For longer local trips (up to 50 km), I use the public transit we have in my city, which is world-class. A third option I use from time to time for local trips is taxis, but this is a very rare occurrence. Finally, for longer-distance trips, I take the train.

In rare circumstances, I will rent a car, but this is an almost never-occurrence for me.

Your ability to do the same will be highly dependent on what kind of infrastructure is available where you live. A large part of the message in this community is pointing out the need for this type of infrastructure, such that more people can enjoy living life with less cars for transportation.

An infinite pool of money.

Video hosting is very costly, especially at scale

I think we all know it actually stands for One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison
