I was just talking about how terrible Youtube's recommendations are with my brother today and I realize this idea is naive but I think it would work better than the current machine language system: - Gather up all the channels that are

They did get sued because of that but they got away with it somehow.

The short answer is spend some (not all) of your free time on learning skills and self improvement. Over the last six years I've always tried to have side projects going, I have volunteered to help other people's projects and I ha

Yeah people say that on both sides of evolution, global warming, vaccines and lots of other subjects where one side is factually off their rocker.

You're not alone but unfortunately there's a lot of people on this site who are extremely irrational but think they are very rational.

You can't run Safari on Linux or Windows if that's what you're asking. But you can use a service like Browserstack to run Safari if you don't otherwise have access to a Mac.

> Putting everything in separate lines make the CSS file 10 times longer, and it's more difficult to see groups of rules that fit together along with their common structure. You block them together just like we do with code. Good co

The first example is fine, if you're only setting one property then doing it in a single line isn't a big deal. Your second CSS example is no bueno. Don't put multiple properties on a single line. It might make sense to you t

Are we supposed to think this is too much HTML for one ad? Because I don't think it is. A lot of it is URLs, and of course you have to have full URLs on an ad, you can't use relative. As for the number of elements, there's qu

Oh my god talk about nitpicking. Yes I realize it's allowed, it's still sloppy and gross. Technically I could put all my HTML into base64 encoded strings in javascript and then write them to the document, that doesn't mean th

Boo. Maybe it's over the top but for me the fact that something this awful made it into Google's official style guide tells me the nuts are really running the asylum over there. Was nobody in charge doing web development in the 90

This objection is weak. Generate a unique key pair on the client. De-authorize it when you're done or just delete it. If your argument is that your client is untrusted, then typing in your password is a lot more risky than generating a

It is immoral of them to block the ads that are giving revenue to the creators of the content you're browsing and show ads that give revenue to themselves on that page. The only difference between this and malware is that you deliberat

The Pix images just look mostly like the contrast was reduced and all the dark pixels were made brighter. That's not improving the images in my mind, it's just throwing away color depth and subtlety.

I don't personally like the AirPods but a lot of people do. There's a number of articles fawning over them. This post is absolutely terrible. Inspector Gadget as a fantasy? Inspector Gadget was a dork, that was part of his charm,

Wow the libertarians are really pushing the straw men tonight. This is going to be my last response on this thread because I'm tired of explaining reality to you. Obviously my number would be the number that makes the most sense. You o

No that wouldn't be fair to say at all. Please re-read my comments. I don't think you could come to that conclusion if you read them fairly.

You can choose to believe that narrative, but I think that's what the Hostess executives fed to the media. I believe they deliberately negotiated in bad faith with the goal of declaring bankruptcy and restructuring. Some layoffs may

Holy straw man Batman. That's not at all what I said. What I said was the executives pulled shenanigans to get rich and the workers pay the price. That's the reality of the situation. As to a better way to handle the situation; ho

What a crock. The whole bankruptcy was just a union busting maneuver to escape the contracts they had signed. The company was deliberately run into the ground to restructure and now it's making the executives rich while all the workers

Off the top of my head: Drop the dogma. Stuff like "OOP is terrible" or "FP is terrible" or "JavaScript is terrible", etc. are not only wrong but they are destructive only to you. Nobody else cares that you hol

I'm not sure how your response applies to my comment? I said that your particular job may not provide an opportunity for FP but you should still learn it for the sake of professional development. Even if you never need a job that uses

If you are a professional developer you should always be learning and growing your skill set. You don't have to learn about functional programming, but choosing to remain ignorant does not reflect well on you. There's a differen

This conversation is awful. This seems like a bunch of armchair developers with really strong opinions and no real world experience. No experienced developer I want to work with has the kind of dogmatic views that most of the people in this
