John is a biblical name. Not naming your kid that because it’s also occasionally used as slang, is pants-on-head stupid. There’s also nothing wrong with Charlie. Dick/Richard is the only one here I agree with. That is extremely commonl

This is so out of touch. If you want people to simply roll their eyes and ignore your words completely, keep on espousing arguments like that. Alexa, Siri and co. do have legitimate use cases for people, even if they may not be useful for -

So do it the old fashioned way: socialize and network with people at industry events. Ageism is another issue that isn’t quite so easy to solve. Doesn’t that depend on the area more than anything? Networking like that is how I found my job

Or you know, they could be protesting HK law being totally subverted with the new extradition bill. This comment is extremely pro-China.

It’s so strange to me how vaping is seen as this miraculous thing and any criticism is seen as being a hater. 10 years is not nearly long enough to measure long term health effects, sorry. Being “safer than cigs” isn’t worth anything at all

Because every other website uses that or the down arrow. It can be not only objects seen in real life but also icons consistent with other sites. Anecdotally I’ve never seen a floppy disk in real life.

Random or ambiguous icons without text is a huge UX failure. You can’t assume people will know what it means aside from very obvious ones like the floppy disk save icon.

This is not a dichotomy. We can have a tech sector that’s also compliant with laws like GDPR.

The point is that many state colleges provide ample education. Some provide very good education depending on what areas they specialize in. USC (South Carolina) is #1 for international business, for example. As I recall we also had good eng

Or perhaps we can look into alternate systems that don't reward excruciating studying and working systems. Perhaps standardized testing like the SAT is fundamentally flawed and we need to figure out better assessment systems. > Sout

Remote working in the same or similar timezones is nice, and no, not everyone needs to work in the same office.

The code itself and libraries being English is not a new concept. Materials and knowledge about the language leads to more people potentially discovering it. I can far more easily persuade someone to use Rust, if I share the website with

by intertextuality 7y ago
I simply think we need to be honest about the language that we use. The truth is, instead of "nobody was happy", "nobody made i18n a priority" is far more accurate. Calling it a "lie" is perhaps too strong, but

Thank you for explaining it. I now finally understand why it was deployed with removed functionality. That said, that is a completely idiotic reason to remove something like i18n. Unbelievable. I wish I could say I don't understand how

Go's page is for programmers; Rust's new page is for non-programmers. I think it's a mistake that you have to click "Get Started", then read through installation instructions, to finally see what Rust code looks l

Criticizing a software update is "losing my cool"? First I was "yelling" and now this... My "different idea" is keeping the ability of non-English speakers to use the website and learn about Rust. I (and most p

That's not really the truth though, is it? If nobody was happy, then the new site wouldn't have been deployed. Or by "nobody was happy", did you mean "nobody really cared, because English is their primary language,

So raising a point on a random internet post is now considered "yelling"? Interesting. Also, I called "that reason" dumb. Perhaps you're personally involved with the project, but please try to read things as they ar

This implies the old site wasn't nice. Which is not true. The old site isn't as pretty as the new one for sure, but it wasn't a bad site. It was straightforward. Personally I don't like that the new website doesn'

That's a very dumb reason to ditch i18n. Waiting before it finalized wasn't an option?

by intertextuality 7y ago
The new site has a link to the old one at the bottom. My opinion isn't factoring into it. However, losing i18n is pretty bad. These are the old languages that were offered: > Deutsch, English, Español, Français, Bahasa Indonesia, It

I'm confused as to why they redesigned the website but removed prior functionality. A few weeks ago people pointed out that the internationalization also suffered due to this. Edit: by suffered, I mean "was removed entirely".

> We have enough land in most part of the world that if we lost, say, 10,000 - 100,000 acres a decade due to meltdown, we'd still be pretty okay This is completely untenable. Perhaps you're okay with it if it occurs far from wh

It's an astoundingly unintelligent "analogy" at best. Discussing nuclear meltdowns and what caused them is always relevant, whether or not it happened today or 70 years ago. Talking about it is still important, especially b

Your list is totally disingenuous. Are you actually comparing the environmental issues associated with creating a solar panel, to a nuclear facility melting down and making the entire surrounding area uninhabitable and unusable for centurie

How can you even compare what you just said with an enormous nuclear facility meltdown? ...? It's measured right behind fukushima and chernobyl, as the third most serious recorded event. I've known about chernobyl, tmi, fukushima,
