You make the problem sound more obscure than it actually is, which to be fair is very understandable (and I guess common) if you're from an English-speaking country.

Many people outside of those know English well enough that they'd rather have a feature in English than not at all.

Also, many if not most applications and services that aren't billion-dollar businesses or otherwise have had insane amounts of resources poured into them have terrible localization. And even if the localization is good, it can be beneficial to use the English version.

English is the international language, it is taught to children all over the world, it is used in business, academia and so on, all over the world. You know that, everyone knows that, but sadly, to all-English dev teams, it is all too often an afterthought.

And that doesn't even take expats, travelers etc. into account, who might want to use their native language system-wide but need certain applications to use the local language, or vice versa.
I suggest you look up Poe's Law. It can be very difficult to tell satire from the real thing when the real thing comes frighteningly close to the satire.
I feel like you missed the point of the article. While the world agrees that killing, or generally being a jerk is bad, we are hopelessly divided on the issues like the death penalty, honor killing of rape victims, applying the death penalty to the mentally disabled, use of drones in armed conflicts, etc.

As the grandparent comment pointed out, there is no objective source of morality on any issue. As the OP pointed out, most people don't loudly proclaim themselves to be jerks. Outside of sociopaths and those with mental disorders, most people lie, kill and hate because they think it's somehow the right thing to do. Or because they can rationalize acting in their own self interest to be somehow fair or in the greater good.

Though the article tried to end on a positive tone, I found it to be pretty disheartening. It's easy to say "Don't be hateful", but much more difficult to say "Don't do what you think is right". Ain't no solution for that.

Sounds very similar to what happens if you unplug a mounted USB hard drive from a running Linux without 'ejecting' it first.

My understanding is that the kernel labels the device (recognised through its UUID) as 'read only' thereafter. And it is the whole device (i.e. /dev/sdb or whatever) that is labelled.

Your symptoms just struck me as very similar. I can't offer any way forward alas.

Viscosity is fundamental. A two dimensional airfoil inside inviscid fluid has zero drag (maybe you expected that) and indeterminate lift (that for me was a surprise), unless you force the stagnation point to be on the trailing edge. This mathematical condition is known as Kutta condition, and the physical process that allows it is viscosity. I know the explanation is somewhat cryptic but it's a starting point.

Exactly. This is an actual issue in robotics/AI - "best" in each scenario might in turn become "worse" overall.

A funny story I read about once:

> I've got a good story about the mines using this tech. A mate works for them and was telling me after changing over to driverless trucks they started getting huge divots in the ramps in the mines.

> They went to site and watched the trucks to see what was going on, and the trucks were (with centimetre precision) changing gears in the exact same spot causing huge divots in the ground. They ended up having to program in a random number generator in that algorithm to avoid them.

Shameless plug: I wrote an article about how simple marketing tools brought more backlinks than blog posts for some marketers.

https://ahrefs.com/blog/link-building-with-tools/

The conclusion was the same: these tools were incredibly easy to build, and each of them got 2-10x more backlinks, shares and leads than equivalent blog posts.

This is awesome.

One observation: maybe in this case, including the number of subscribers is actually a deterrent for getting people to subscribe. I'm talking about the "Join over 1100 subscribers." line.

You may be triggering a "damn, I'm going to have to compete with that many other developers for the same handful of jobs?" response instead of the usual "If that many people trust this guy with their email, it must be OK for me to give it" one that this best practice suggests.

One company whose content I really admire is HelpScout.net

They do incredible stuff, especially with their design and presentation. The content itself isn't as compelling as, say, Priceonomics, but it is still very, very good.
I hope so. It's pretty bare at the moment, but it shouldn't take too much to get it to where, say, Go-lang was when people started to adopt it in earnest.

Augmented reality may actually be the solution. Think about it, virtual items replace real ones this is huge on its own for the planet.You no longer need a phone , laptop, tv,random toys, etc. No more driving to work, offices are no longer required and replaced by virtual ones you can be in from anywhere with all office equipment and staff virtualized. The list keeps going on and for everything you add to it less of the planets resources are being used.

I think AR and VR along with lab grown animal protein of multiple varieties will reverse a tremendous amount of our planetary fleecing. This vision is at least 20+ years away ,but it is definitely a good answer to many of our problems.

Oracle Cloud – Bristol (UK) – ONSITE
Calling all Clojurians

We are looking for Software Engineers at all levels to help us build the chassis of Oracle's cloud platform using Clojure.

We’re using many technologies including Java (obviously!), clojure, docker, kubernetes and mesos - there’s a broad range across the microservices architecture.

The culture here is incredibly relaxed and not at all “corporate”. The Bristol lab, as well as being one of the key architectural centers globally, also maintains a high degree of autonomy and control over what we do, and how we do it. The environment is engineer-led and perfect for enabling developers to contribute ideas to our groundbreaking projects.

The Cloud team are developing the CI/CD pipeline that will allow Oracle’s 30,000 developers to deploy their SaaS installs, patches and upgrades into the 19+ tier 4 datacentres to the right place, on time, so just works. All installs, patches and upgrade will go through the pipeline, through integration, staging and into production and made available to millions upon millions of individual users far faster and with less overheads than any on-premises system previously. All logged and tracked using ELK so there’s full transparency.

The aim is to reduce the deployment time to less than one hour and completely remove the need for manual intervention from ops.

We’re looking for are people with an insatiable curiosity to learn new technologies - a contributer to open source would fit in well. Someone who doesn't accept the current paradigm or framework, but bends or changes it to his or her needs. The quality of engineer is exceptional and new team mates must be able to work in a collaborative and open environment that puts an emphasis on betterment and learning.

If you’d like to find out more please email Michael.r.sutherland@oracle.com

Salaries range from £40K to ++£100K and the benefits are exceptional.

What in the world is this supposed to mean?

It means that then political spectrum is varied and vast, and that it's lazy and incorrect to simply take this one aspect and call it "leftist". it also means that the US has a ridiculous, caricatured view of "left and "right" that the rest of the world finds by parts both bizarre and laughable. I suspect, based on the fact that you think it's necessary to provide a quick primer on the origin of the terms, that what I'm getting at goes over your head.

Rohin Dhar highlighted a very critical issue in this industry: that marketers hire writers who don't really have any stake in the company's success, or an understanding of its core product.

If you're writing content for a CRO tool, you need to know CRO yourself.

If you're writing content for a data analytics tool, you need to have a basic understanding of data analysis.

Those $50/article writers don't have that. If they did, they wouldn't be writing $50 articles.

I feel content marketing has to evolve from mere "content" to "expertise" marketing.

Sure, a great writer can research, but you need hands-on experience to write something that truly stands out.

In a large organisation you'll typically have a number of different architecture roles, i.e. its always something Architect. For example, there are Enterprise Architect, Line-of-Business Architect and Solution Architect roles for differing levels of vertical alignment within the business, and there are Information Architect, Data Architect, Infrastructure Architect, etc. roles for differing levels of horizontal alignment. Similarly within design you'll find a number of design roles, e.g. UX Design, UI Design, etc.
Well, not exactly what the parent describe but you have "laid-back" lucrative companies. In France it's banks, insurances, etc. You can't necessarily WFH easily but with more than 7 weeks of PTO it's more like "no work from home" when you feel like it.

They're lucrative because they have money to throw around, you don't have to work very hard because they don't like risk anyway so everything moves slowly.

The downside is that work is boring, slow-paced with old tech. Think J2EE stuck on Java 6, on the front you have to use jQuery 1.7 and they need a committee to decide to validate usage of jQuery 1.8. Sometimes you might get to write a cool prototype with recent tech but they'll just say "yeah it's cool but we can't integrate it with our legacy code", etc. Once in a while they pick a shiny new tech for their "new platform" (like Angular) but by the time their whole codebase is migrated the "new platform" is obsolete ("Angular 1 sucks I want to use Angular 2/React!")

And now you're just assuming that I don't know what "leftist" means. I don't live in the US, but you just assumed I did. Lazy, lazy, lazy. That's my point. Anyone who disagrees with the wall? They must be "leftist". Filthy filthy leftist. That's a nice easy way for me to label them and now I can disregard them because I've split the world into two groups, and obviously I'm in the good group. The rightists are pro-business and pro-labout movement, so it's the rightists who disagree with the wall. But wait, it's the rightists who are willing to give up liberties (especially someone else's) for security, so it's the rightists who want the wall.

OMG, suddenly it turns out that simply saying "leftists" want this thing and "rightists" want the opposite is so simplified that it's simply incorrect, and the world is a lot more complicated.

Start thinking for yourself.

It's not that hard to stretch this strategy to other businesses.

If you're running, say, a plumbing business, you could teach your blog readers so much about plumbing. Answer their questions and teach them real, useful stuff - everything from fixing a leaky faucet to setting up plumbing for a new house.

Unfortunately, most businesses think that writing a blog post means writing 100 posts on "10 reasons why you need to hire a plumber".

That's useless to readers.

Help readers learn something actually useful about your business and they'll reward you with their loyalty.

Uggh was just going through this process a few hours ago .. dealing with those horrible enter your cover letter and resume systems for X big company. I even just encountered this when applying for a job thru StackOverflow.

Overall those systems frustrate me to the point of finding the hiring managers name and their email address (just google for example @xcompany.com to see how their work email address is formatted) and sending them a personal message with my resume attached. This works at times, while other times it doesnt. But, either way I dont have to deal with those horrible CV/resume data entry systems. Also, since not many are using this hack Im sure the recruiting manager saw my resume vs. it going into a black hole.

> You have zero rights to harm my health.

> So, it's not that bad is simply not a defense. If you want nicotine ware a patch, chew gum etc. If you want some other crap in your lungs, do it somewhere that does not impact me.

Dude, the health-impact of getting worked up about this is already magnitudes more than the health-impact of the thing you are worried about.

It's one thing that there are studies showing nicotine is a harmful substance (which isn't even quite as straightforward as it seems), it's an entirely other thing to quantify the risk of exposure to an occasional whiff of e-cig exhaust, in the context of traffic pollution, fireplaces, incense, air fresheners, people farting, or investigating where a burning smell comes from.

The latter 9 times out of 10 involves burning plastic, which going near to instead of away from, for a minute, just to check, is way super more stupid harmful to your health than actually taking a full drag of an e-cig. I owe my life to people that weren't afraid to do that (still insignificant) damage to their health, which is a million times worse than the perceived harm you are whining about.

Hell your presence on my planet is already more damaging to my health than you catching a whiff of e-cig. So nothing personal but kindly maybe get off it. That, or learn how to rationally deal with very very tiny probabilities (it's not intuitive, but also not that hard).

First of all, thank you for your contributions to this thread. They've been very interesting.

I noticed a couple of points in this post that I would like some clarification on, if you have the time and inclination.

Christians are supposed to submit to their government, even oppressive ones. There are quite a few references for this (b) (c). Finding more examples isn't difficult if you want more.

Where does this sentiment come from, considering that Christianity was illegal in the Roman empire at the time? To an extent, I can understand requiring submission to persecution for reasons unrelated to the faith, but it seems strange to me that early Christians would be required to submit to a government that is persecuting those that attempt to obey God, for attempting to obey God.

They either already know they're not following God or don't care (which is basically the same thing).

Is it really impossible to be 'good' if you don't follow God, according to scripture? Is an atheist sinful by definition?
> I've been in many projects where people would iterate numerous times over architecture while completely forgetting what real-world problem they are actually trying to solve. Architecture becoming art pour l'art.

I completely agree. Unless constrained, software developers will entertain themselves with architecture stuff ad libitum. But this is one problem; the other - a full-blown, bigger one - is truly knowing the real-world problem.

> I don't see the point of the article being that every software developer becomes a fully-fledged UX guy, but understands the context in which the system is going to be used and not get lost in the technical rabbit hole.

The premise is a noble one, and correct IMO. But, as above, truly knowing the real-world problem is hell. We can't really hope to solve the technical rabbit hole just by focusing in the real-world, or simply assume that we know it.

Software developers won't understand the real-world context, most of the times. They aren't trained to do so. Most of the times, companies won't help: organization keeps software developers very far from customers. Hell, I'll say it: many software developers even lack the basic empathy skills to understand the user. Their model of the software is the implementation model, not the usage model. And many times they're too stubborn, and talk very cheap regarding users and usage: software developers say "this is what the user wants" as cheaply I say "the sky is blue". But the thing is that "what the user wants" is not that obvious; the only obvious thing is the mis/preconceptions we have.
