What is your payment structure, too—fixed cost or do you solicit monthly payments (which, I imagine, is the more reasonable one)?

Site features are likely just news, contact page, and then embedded tweets and YouTube videos in the news articles. Really just informational stuff for a small org whose profits I have no idea about. I may do this website with Wordpress (ugh), but Jekyll is an option.

All I see is this sub’s POV and that of, well, mainstream media, but I lost all means of “gauging” the political climate since shutting out social media. Educate me?

It’ll probably help if you give a bit of context on your socio-economic background, too, and that of your clique.

There’s not much variety in topics where I come from—it’s all fitness, street comedy, and travel. I’d like to start a talkshow vlog to talk about philosophy, politics, history, economics, and science. My intention is to stimulate critical thinking among children, teens, and young adults.

Those of you who vlog, what do you vlog about and how did you get over the anxiety of possibly going viral and famous? Do you use your real name? Do you project different online and offline personas? How do you deal with toxic comments sections and threats on your safety?

I’m an iOS developer (both ObjC and Swift) looking to switch to backend work because I don’t like the trends in front-end development (web and mobile). I noticed that hybrid apps are becoming more in demand and employable than pure native, and its patterns (which I’m not a big fan of) are creeping in even to the most popular pods and in the workplace. Because the end product of everything that we build is just some CRUD app that has the same web 2.0 look-and-feel, I just want to do something that changes a lot less so that I can focus on living a meaningful life after office hours.

What’s a backend stack that you’ve found to be a pleasure to use, besides the ones in Swift? I know you might

I dipped my toes into front-end web development after avoiding its toxicity for a long time and I just found myself having to install npm, Yarn, and Bower on top of Homebrew. Do these package managers differ from each other in significant ways? Why do we have all of them?

I read plenty of articles online and when I click the link to the full text, the website almost ALWAYS asks me to allow desktop notifications. It's been so annoying since it was invented, but today, I listened to my survival instincts and found that we can actually stop websites from even asking for permission.

• In Firefox, just search for "notifications" in the Preferences tab, click Settings, and check the option "Block new requests asking to allow notifications".

• In Chrome, search for and click "Content Settings", click on Notifications, and toggle the switch on the option "Ask before sending (recommended)" so that it turns to "Blocked".

• In Safari, go to Safari menu > Prefere

I took my new Vivosport out for a 10 km run and only the calories that I burned got synced to Apple Health. No distance data is recorded with the same timestamp. I looked around the internet and it seems like this is a pretty common issue.

Is this actually normal for Garmin? I trusted them with my money instead of the Apple Watch and this is quite disappointing, I must say.

I started looking at Garmin since it’s the most reasonable alternative to Apple watch in terms if price, but the options are quite overwhelming. Which model can do the following?

1. Set a distance for a run
2. Actually track my distance so far, without a phone paired
3. Report HR as I run so I could gauge my current pace
4. Time the whole run

That’s about all I need from a running watch, no music or watch faces. I’m looking at the Forerunner 35 and the Vivosport but I can’t tell the difference—and then there are plenty of other Vivos.

Thanks!

I’d like to join and make frens pls

I was going to write a long story about how I found myself needing a second phone exclusively for work today, but none of you will read that so I'm just writing the TLDR:

Apple should create a product line of truly low-cost iPhones which are within the $200 to $350 range. It's a market which Android has a monopoly of, and is therefore a room for disruption and growth especially now that Apple has saturated the high-end smartphone market.

My programming career kicked off in 2011 as a Java developer for banks. It didn't give me any joy to work with legacy code so rigid that I feared picking up bad practices instead of learning good ones. As I had plenty of my own software ideas, I switched to doing mobile apps which, coincidentally, were the hot thing during that time. I started with Android, I felt that the SDK was a mess, so I tried iOS and studied Objective-C. When I experienced the simplicity of Apple's dev tools, the elegance in the architecture of its SDKs, and the absence of (and eventually, the graceful management of) device fragmentation in its ecosystem, I never wanted to do front-end work for any other platform ever
