   What communication problems exactly? What is the difference of working remotely and working in office with your headphones on, only using slack to communicate? I know several places like that. I’ve worked full time remotely for the last 6 m

   This is basically how designing ios/osx apps in xCode works. You set a bunch of constraints that are relative to one another. You can also specify what type of screen those constraints will work on (like iphone vs ipad screens) and por

   Even if it did have JS, I think most of the crowd would be fine with minimal JS also, since there are some legitimate use cases. Having JS is not the end of the world, but today's standard is to completely abuse it, leading to horrific

   I see it as a reflection of the website's overall design stance: no frills, no stupid material design, no js junk scripts. Just a fast-loading website that loads what it needs to. This kind of website is quite refreshing in 2018. Maybe

   At the end of the day, it's the parent's/guardian's fault for knowingly letting their kids browse on a platform where anyone can upload anything. You are putting way too much trust in an opaque corporation to provide ade

   Daytime TV is at least somewhat regulated by the FCC. Youtube is not, to my knowledge. > This is basically the all-American argument of "sure, the advertising is a complete lie but it's the consumer's fault for being gulli

   I have looked into it. I don't have kids, but I would never allow them access to autoplay videos on youtube. Given my knowledge of Google, Youtube, and their overall ineptitude in this regard. Just because something from them is market

   These are completely baseless accusations. Either provide sources or go back to reddit.

    It's not a bad idea to pursue hobbies outside of programming, even temporarily. I've found every time I take a break for a while, I want to sit down and just program again. That said, you could also try to find interesting thing

    > How does YouTube enables me to to make sure that kids are protected? It doesn't. I don't know why this expectation exists; youtube has not shown itself to be trustworthy in this sort of thing. Clearly an alternative needs to

    Then don't use youtube. Download the videos offline first, etc. What's the issue here? No one is forcing you to let your kid sit unattended on a website with questionable recommended videos.

    Tom & Jerry was just a somewhat violent cartoon, but some of the mentioned videos are somewhat disturbing. You can just google elsagate. My opinion is that people exploited a captive market + youtube's positive feedback loop algori

    I also develop with .NET on OSX, using Rider. The only annoying thing so far was storing the connection strings in those json files— I think using env vars in build configurations is better. I can't say much other than it's been r

    Recommended by whom? An algorithm? Why is that any guarantee of safe or quality programming for young children? Youtube does need to address these videos, but they're not omniscient gods either. There is too much content to humanly (or

    You're severely downplaying the amount of educational content that it has to offer. If youtube went down overnight, it -would- be a huge loss. If you give your children unfettered access to youtube, that's your own fault as a pare

    Why is it odd? You're just calling a function with two arguments.

    Then a cashless society requires permission from multiple entities- the government, the financial providers, and the entity you want to transact with. Not at all like cash, which just requires the entity to accept it as legal tender.

    This is a false comparison. Physical cash, in your possession, cannot be frozen or revoked unless those entities stop accepting government fiat currency. It has nothing to do with being self-sufficient.

    Politics aside, tumblr is impossible to have long-form conversation on. Sure, it has longer posts than say, twitter, but replying to a chain makes makes things almost impossible to read. [0] Furthermore, instead of following content per se,
