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 th…

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 legitimat…

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 mor…

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…

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 flop…

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 internati…

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 …

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

> but few people who are actually willing to step up and do work. That's the limiting factor on getting stuff done. That's why waiting is also an option. Feel free to excuse it how…

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 …

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 "l…

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. …

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 f…

So aside from you, nobody on the team cared about i18n enough to actually get it implemented before deployment–it wasn't a priority. Got it. Sucks that you're embarrassed but it lo…

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 l…

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 …

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 p…

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…

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

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: > Deuts…

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…
