Ask HN: What CMS options are there with good localisation support?
I've been trying to find a relatively flexible CMS that supports localisation of everything (e.g. both in templates and in generated content), but I haven't found a huge amount of options. CraftCMS seems to be the most straightforward one I've found so far, but what other options are there? Language doesn't matter especially, but it does need to be fairly easy to customise/extend.

I'm sure there's a WordPress plugin for it but I would really rather not go there again :)

Very grateful for any suggestions!
straight men commenting on the attractiveness of women's bodies is pretty blatantly sexual. what other reason is there to make that kind of comment? "pure aesthetics"? like Wow Jessica from accounting's body is consistent with Greek Ideals about Archetypal Female Beauty. come on.
No doubt you would. Why should I? Because appeal to authority? Or is there a reason why their frequently regrettable track records must not be considered an indictment of any sort?
>The man burglarized people's houses for supplies.

If that was all it takes to survive in the woods for decades then that would be relevant.
> ...others in the face of racism or sexism have to work a hell of a lot more.

That's not necessarily true. Everyone has a different story. For all you know, the author was an orphan, was wrongfully convicted of a felony, has a disability, and survived three kinds of cancer.
Cool, I don't disagree with you there. Just been arguing the specific point that you guys weren't privileged. Let's be real here.
What's your take on urban density and neighbourhood? I can visualize a child getting around the suburbs well, but a busy city street or highway sound less pleasant for a daily commute.
> went around the wrong way with the manner of her expression

So it's only ok for women to be frustrated by systemic stereotyping and marginalization, if-and-only-if she acts like a traditionally oppressed woman in public? Women should just stay in the closet instead of pointing out porblems in the workplace?

> violence against others is not one of them.

What "violence"? What kind of framing or mental gymnastics are you using to interpret any of those posts as "combative" or interpreted as "violence against others"?
Again, Great project! Would be interested to see how it evolves and would like to incorporate in a site myself.
The design is worse to me. Black background for reading is a bad idea, and there's a lot of things competing for attention because everything is so big. They could do with better font too... way too hard to read and thin.

White background + gotham font + white background + proper spacing + a splash of color = win

The world I live in is filled with various Noble lies and self deceptions and mass deceptions. It does seem necessary to me for the modern world that isn't constantly at war with itself to exist.

There is so many that I do not know where to begin and I am not going to begin. This one seems on balance like one of the less harmful ones.

It was mostly over the the acquisition of Open Office by Oracle when they bought Sun. Oracle owned the trademark to Open Office, changed the name to Oracle Open Office and development slowed. Around the same time Oracle had killed OpenSolaris, Sun's open-source version of Solaris, and changed Solaris back to a proprietary product. There's was concern in the open-source community that Oracle would either kill Open Office all together or try to spin it off as a commercial product. So OO was forked and most of the core OO developers jumped ship.
This is so dumb. Hot air rises only because there is cold air falling to replace the hot air that is rising.

If the principles for this super chimney to work, then why do we even have any air at the surface? The surface air is hot. The air above is cold. Then all the surface air must have all gone up and we would be left with a vacuum at the surface.

So why do we have any air at all at the surface then?
Totally incorrect. I have formed very, very many LLCs and they all use registered agents. You'd have to sue in order to find out the actual owners.

Yeah, many people don't consider FreeBSD because of silly reasons… :(

but mentioning Solaris that "requires licensing" and not illumos?? illumos is the new Solaris, the old Solaris devs are working on illumos! Oracle Solaris is irrelevant.

My personal theory for explaining hermits throughout history is simple, these people had/have aspergers. I have aspergers myself, and I can very easily see someone who has aspergers who for whatever reason no longer wants to socialize anymore getting up and doing their own thing out in isolation. I don't truly believe that any neurotypical person, and for that matter many aspies could do it, but if you're brain is wired in a way that socialization doesn't provide that reward that it does for most other people, either because you don't understand social interaction and have no desire to learn the rules so you can play the game, or simply because you have discovered the rules and simply have no interest exhausting the effort, going out into isolation and spending the rest of your days pursuing other things that give you fulfillment.
> In reality, helmets are not worth the trouble.

Where are you getting this information?

Statistics from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
Fatality Facts: Bicycles - 2014

"Helmet use has been estimated to reduce the odds of head injury by 50 percent, and the odds of head, face, or neck injury by 33 percent."

"During the past few years, no more than 17 percent of fatally injured bicyclists were wearing helmets."

Statistics from New York City

"Almost three-quarters of fatal crashes (74%) involved a head injury. Nearly all bicyclists who died (97%) were not wearing a helmet."

Commenting on someone's bathing suit is not inherently sexual, because we do it in non-sexual contexts; for example, I complemented my nephiew's new swim trunks earlier this summer.

A particular complement might be sexual, but we shouldn't assume that. For all we know, the guy is gay, and we are now discriminating against that.

Furthermore, commenting directly on the awesomeness of someone else's body is also not inherently sexual. Have you never admired a female athlete, the way you admire a male athelete?
> It's a toxic set of opinions that's unfortunately very representative of large numbers of white male tech employees.

Do you have any data on this?
Sure, I wasn't entirely serious. I wonder how the test should be done. If somebody asked me for a few random letters, I'd have to ponder for some time about how to generate letters randomly. It would be easier if there was some (semi?)random input available, such as cars going past with various number plates.
Sure, but while I do agree that the neurological differences might be non-existent, I think that if you were to plot the amount of time people spend in social setting, you'd get something like a normal distribution. You could designate one end as introverts and one as extroverts.
I think it feels weird because we define universe as having neither outside nor boundaries. There's a contradiction in terms. It ceases to feel strange as soon as you update the concept to something that has a boundary either in its spacial extension or through some kind of extra dimension.
I'm going to assume director means upper leadership of a project?

The transition is not so hard. Think of it as another programming language, another architecture.

Your team is like a machine. You are not in it. You don't work in it. You build it. You improve and iterate on it. Your job is to look at it from the outside and see what can be improved.

You also have to make sure that information flows from top to bottom well. The lowest intern needs to understand that strategic goals and focus of the team. That's really what motivating is.

As tech management, one of the most effective thing you can do is to train the ones below you.

You should take complete responsibility for what happens in your team. One of your junior programmers breaks the product? Sexual harassment? A core member ragequitting? Your fault.

Ben Horowitz's The Hard Things About Hard Things is what I'd recommend most on engineering leadership. Extreme Ownership by Wilink, Jocko is a good book on general leadership. Do avoid a lot of the things on Business Insider, Forbes, or other business blogs.
> The suggestion that men and women ARE different is taboo.

This is the assumption being made by diversity hiring and diversity advocates. That some races/genders have different perspectives and viewpoints than others.

It can quickly follow that some of these viewpoints may make a person more or less fit for certain careers.
I think you have a penchant for turning probabilistic norms (women do score higher than men for neuroticism, on average from puberty onward, for example) into straw men.

> Women are not more neurotic than men

That's not the same thing, so no.

> From what I've seen it's exactly the opposite;

Finland is a case study in cultural gender equalization leading to gender gaps becoming more pronounced over time. You might want to look up Jordan Peterson, who is rather high profile, in regards to this topic. I think it's obvious that this document was formed after seeing a bit of his youtube material.
> Somehow, most of the women I know don't complain about harassment much.

It does not seem productive to trivialize and disregard people's issues only because we haven't witnessed them ourselves.

Indeed this attitude is actually why an internal group where people can report sexist, racist, and other inappropriate behavior is called "Yes at Google", because so many people thought this kind of thing doesn't happen, or at least it wouldn't at Google.
Doesn't that pull in all the KDE libraries in the process, if the rest of the software you use is built around GTK?
Yes, in the sense that cross-discipline study sometimes reveals common themes. One field having complex dynamics might make the world seem complicated. When many fields have the same complex dynamics, you start to wonder if there's something simple you can tease out of it.
That makes sense. So that WAS me projecting ;)
Sometimes the best places to swing for the fences, technologically, are places far away from the core business, where the impact of a half-baked idea is minimal.
I find your experience intriguing, since I've never been able to get my windows installations to reliably provide solid uptime. I've had many issues with inconsistent performance, stuttering, and "slow degradation" of Windows, while even the 3-4 year old linux installs feel quite snappy.

At this point I suspect getting reliable computers is a lottery.
"...(ignoring or being ashamed of its core business)..."

This deserves its own "manifesto".

In case of any misinterpretation, I interpret "core business" to mean the ever exciting business of selling online ads.
But obviously Canonical's lawyers don't think shipping it separately is the same as shipping it in the kernel, because if they did they would not ship it separately to begin with.
I think anything that tries to brush 50% with a hue that isn't literal biological fact is tenuous and gets people's backs up.

e.g.

> Men are more violent than women.

I mean that's somewhat factual (i.e. considering crime rates) but the very mention of the phrase is tinged with ulterior motive so it becomes taboo.
Basically you're better off sticking to literal difference, avoiding sociologically and focusing on differences being social or cultural because then you won't piss off up to 50% of people and people are more likely listen to you.

e.g.

> The way we bring up men and the societal pressures placed upon them makes them more violent than women.

I think less people are gonna be mad about that and then you can use it as a stepping stone to make whatever point this was your platform for. Sure it might actually be less _correct_ then the other way of putting it (I don't know the science precisely enough to judge either way) but that's taboo for ya. Unless you're writing specific science about the biological differences between men and women it doesn't matter that you made the same point differently.
Some US sports are very non diverse, but it's ok because it's majority non white, and everyone agrees is mostly meritorious - Athletic performance is hard to fake (outside drugs).

Yet even suggesting that minds are subject to the same kinds of differences is considered heresy. It's almost dualistic - as if we're all born with a mind/soul of the same capability.
Are you sure the modern world isn't constantly at war with itself? I am not. Nor am I sure that a culture of constant deception - inward and outward, individual and en masse - is less, rather than more, likely than the converse to produce such a regrettable state of affairs.

Certainly I envy you this confidence! I have not seen it borne out in practice. But I doubt we inhabit very similar-seeming worlds.
Nah.

> In her preface to the first edition, Halpern wrote: “At the time, it seemed clear to me that any between-sex differences in thinking abilities were due to socialization practices, artifacts and mistakes in the research, and bias and prejudice. ... After reviewing a pile of journal articles that stood several feet high and numerous books and book chapters that dwarfed the stack of journal articles … I changed my mind.”

> Why? There was too much data pointing to the biological basis of sex-based cognitive differences to ignore, Halpern says. For one thing, the animal-research findings resonated with sex-based differences ascribed to people. These findings continue to accrue. In a study of 34 rhesus monkeys, for example, males strongly preferred toys with wheels over plush toys, whereas females found plush toys likable. It would be tough to argue that the monkeys’ parents bought them sex-typed toys or that simian society encourages its male offspring to play more with trucks. A much more recent study established that boys and girls 9 to 17 months old — an age when children show few if any signs of recognizing either their own or other children’s sex — nonetheless show marked differences in their preference for stereotypically male versus stereotypically female toys

> Many of these cognitive differences appear quite early in life. “You see sex differences in spatial-visualization ability in 2- and 3-month-old infants,” Halpern says. Infant girls respond more readily to faces and begin talking earlier. Boys react earlier in infancy to experimentally induced perceptual discrepancies in their visual environment. In adulthood, women remain more oriented to faces, men to things.

This site design is what correct looks like.
This comment isn't complete without the observation that society can survive a near-complete annihilation of men, but not women.

Equality is a meaningless term unless we specify what needs to be equal.
In my worldview, men and women ought to be valued and respected equally because both are equally created in the image of God.

The analogy I use to explain this to people is simply how it is impossible to go further south than the South Pole.

There is no physical barrier stopping you from moving in any direction, but due to the shape of the Earth you have reached the southernmost point.

It is likely the same with our universe, and its inherent morphology, too.
As a very, very early user of Facebook, one of the big appeals was the exclusivity of it (way before games). You couldn't sign up unless Facebook was available for your university and you had a university email address. This legitimized it more than say, MySpace, where just anybody could sign up. They started with the "right" demographic, I believe (college kids). Because once FB became a thing at colleges (and to the exclusion of everyone else), it created demand from teenagers and high school kids as the cool thing college kids did. It created demand from college-aged people that weren't going to university because that's where their friends were. Then eventually, it started creating demand in what we then considered weird places, e.g. parents and grandparents, and businesses, who started showing up because that's where their kids were going. I always hear companies talk about teenagers as the most important target demographic, but I think Facebook (perhaps inadvertently?) discovered the "best" demographic, since it automatically attracted people outside of that. I dunno, just some thoughts.
Right, I know, and my response is that those people are wrong. Yes some behaviors are socially formed. Of course. But "Society" has existed for a trivial amount of time relative to human history. Again, this is weird to pretend behavior isn't informed by biology. I just don't understand it.
All available evidence strongly suggests that Charles Murray is in fact a racist†, so this isn't a good example. What you instead want to say is that there's limited tolerance for the "diversity viewpoint" that "whites" and Asians are intellectually superior to "blacks".

There's an intellectually coherent argument to be made that our society is intolerant towards inquiries supporting racism. (It's not a good argument, but it will hold together logically).

There are fewer good arguments that people are hyperventilating about what Charles Murray represents.

† You can quibble with the terminology; if you believe "being tarred as a racist is even worse than being oppressed because of your race", you're welcome to replace "racist" with "racial supremacist".
They are difficult to prove because they are exceedingly general and abstract. Try this one from the article:

"Openness directed towards feelings and aesthetics rather than ideas. Women generally also have a stronger interest in people rather than things, relative to men (also interpreted as empathizing vs. systemizing). These two differences in part explain why women relatively prefer jobs in social or artistic areas."

I have to say there could be other reasons for this. A big one is that people gravitate toward things where other people like them already are. They have a tendency to emulate. It takes unique people to break out of molds and do things that others don't expect of them. Or that aren't familiar or socially comfortable to do. Same for men.

Now it could be true this is related to an innate trait. But who cares? We're talking about 50% of the population and the differences between people are aplenty. Companies have no business in deciding what's the right thing for any group anyway. Whatever people's motivations are - biological or something they came up with yesterday ultimately isn't anyone else's business.

I had the same issue around the middle of my job. I took a break, started a cafe, thought F&B would be something better. It immediately shocked me back into programming. That's one approach - just do something else (preferably low cost) and see what you like more. Some people did up liking F&B more than tech.

That blog post doesn't go into biological reasons — read through it and for each bit of evidence, ask whether the relationship described could be explained by social expectations in early childhood. Talking about career preferences in high school students is much later than what people are talking about – socialization starts before they can talk!

I'm married to a neuroscientist and have spent a lot of time talking with other researchers. Nobody denies that there are measurable low-level biological differences (the hormone levels alone guarantee that) but I've noticed that everyone who actually does research in the area is extremely careful to point out that while you can measure e.g. statistically significant differences in the ratios of white and grey matter, nobody has linked those low level traits to higher-level cognitive abilities, much less success in a profession which combines many different cognitive skills. An additional key point which is often missed is that our brains are plastic and will change in response to what we do: if you found that, say, a group of men out-performed women on tracking moving multiple objects you would still need to ask whether that was biologically predetermined or simply caused by boys being encouraged to play sports, hunt, etc. which developed that skill and/or girls being discouraged from doing the same.
I bothered to read the article, and I don't buy that premise at all.

It seems to indicate that for a thought to happen, a signal must traverse the entire length (width?) of your brain.

That isn't how it works at all. Many thoughts are localised in the brain. Further, some signals don't need to get to the brain at all. And some functions of life don't even need signals to ever leave the localised region at all.

If you are cut, your blood cells spill out, clot, and prevent further bleeding from happening, all without anything outside of the immediate vicinity of the cut to be notified (although it's good to let other parts of the body nearby, say another finger, from exacerbating the wound).

If the organism were larger than say a planet, then why would not the brain become distributed, with the parts needed to deal with one quadrant of the planet located at that part of it?

Basically, this article is lazy. It makes a couple of very dubious assumptions, then runs full-forward on those assumptions, never stopping to think if those assumptions even make sense.

Yes, if we are to try to imagine a life form that looks exactly like a human (or other life-form that we find on Earth), but is the size of the galaxy, we start to laugh, because that couldn't work. But that thought experiment is pretty silly.
Heh! Nothing new in the behavior.

Mr. Feynman famously found you could lift the combo off a safe [with the a-bomb's secrets] when it was empty. When he alerted the Colonel not to leave his safe open, the response was to:

send a note around to everyone in the plant which said, “During his last visit, was Mr. Feyman at any time in your office, near your office, or a walking through your office?” Some people answered yes; others said no. The ones who said yes got another note: “Please change the combination of your safe.
That was his solution. _I_ was the danger!”
