That's also one of the reasons why I don't use a localised version of a desktop OS. Especially on Linux, where everything follows the OS locale and the translations of many open source applications are either only half-done or leave a bit to be desired in terms of quality, the original English strings are just a better experience if you're proficient enough.

I'm not saying this to bash open source translations (let alone translators) or anything. A good translation takes a lot of work. That's just how things seemed to be last time I tried, and I don't really have the energy to contribute myself nowadays.

Of course there are other reasons for not using a localised desktop especially if you're a technical person, such as better web searchability in case of problems. But the inconsistent quality of translations is probably one of the top reasons for me.
I'd argue if you don't have any money left over after paying food and board (and need food stamps), it's functionally the same as indentured servitude. So, not all employment is like this; but only those jobs that do not pay a living wage.
Obviously it would be different… context matters.

Don't German UI conventions follow the convention of using infinitive verbs for commands normally? ('öffnen' instead of 'öffne'?) [the only exception I know is the adjective "rückgängig" for "undo" ]

Though even there your point still stands - they can be easily distinguished from the perfect form ('opened' (geöffnet) vs 'to open' (öffnen) ). So I guess I'm nit-picking a bit.
Sure! Just narrow the confinement beam and boost the Heisenberg compensators! Maybe slap around a hyper spanner here and there.

“The Design of Everyday Things”. The book that sparked a change in my career (to be honest)

In programming, the analogous problem is API design: taking whatever data structures are used by a software tool internally, and figuring out how to present them to external programmers in a useful, intelligible way. If there’s a mismatch between the internal structure of the system and the structure of what-users-want, then it’s the API designer’s job to translate. A “good” API is one which handles the translation well.

User interface design is a more general version of the same problem: take whatever structures are used by a tool internally, and figure out how to present them to external users in a useful, intelligible way. Conceptually, the only difference from API design is that we no longer assume our users are programmers interacting with the tool via code. We design the interface to fit however people use it - that could mean handles on doors, or buttons and icons in a mobile app, or the temperature knobs on a fridge.
Maybe because you don't want to be an arms dealer? Or you don't want to risk prison.
I can see that the wow won't come from graphics or sound - it's already beyond what humans can perceive, but I'm not sure it'd come from software design philosophy either, or that the current hardware we have would be able to enable truly revolutionary software or even what that software would look like.

I can't remember who came up with this, but this realisation is made a lot more vivid if you imagine the "original" you being killed with an axe while your "teleported" you is happily unaware. I believe the videogame Soma has an analogous situation, although I haven't played it.
Pretty sure the quote has something to do with the prolongation of the status quo (and therefore holding back improvement) instead of the individual slave-owner being better/worse.

I don't think a poet/playwright would ever roll with "the expected utility is less due to preventing a change to the status quo" instead of the original quote.

I had a choice a few years ago.

I could have 5-8 NUCs/RPis, install a slew of conventional services I was curious about, and consider things like power, cooling, cables, storage.

_or_

I could pay GKE for a k8s cluster, install most of the things I was curious about, and avoid dealing with, e.g., corruption of the SD card. Or the cat knocking the desk-rack of NUCs off.

since rack, stack, and on-prem issues are not what I was wanting to sort out, I chose to deal with what I wanted to learn, rather than rat-hole down data center admin issues.

I've been doing this work for years and years and years. I was scrounging boxes from the CS department for research 15 years ago (or more). Servers are a fundamentally flawed unit of reliability and development. Moving to a design world where you design for someone to knock over the box and _the computation keeps going_ is paradigmatically better.

When you deal with forward looking people in the server-centric world and you show them a service / "keep going" world, their mind is blown and they want it IME.
Full text of the provisory measure¹ in question: http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_ato2019-2022/2021/Mpv/... (in Portuguese, obviously)

The Amiga really felt like a discontinuous jump. Most technological changes are only incremental. They're still good, but they don't knock your socks off. The first time I played "Shadow of the Beast" on an Amiga, it literally blew me away.
I put "collapse" in quotes for a reason. There is an experimentally verifiable distinction between a particle in superposition (w.r.t a particular basis) and one that is not. Both theory and experiment give us every reason to believe that prior to your observation, you can exhibit the superposition through an interference experiment (modulo decoherence), while afterward you cannot (even if "God" still can).

Also, this surprises me (assuming you studied QM formally):

Yeah, I don't have much hope that the general public will understand the nuances here, especially if the greenies decide to mount a PR campaign against it. OTOH, we can call it "fusion" instead of "nuclear fusion" and that will undoubtedly help. (lol)

Fusion does indeed come with radiological hazards: a fire could release radioactive gas and dust. If designed right, the worst-case scenario would still be way less severe than for a fission plant -- and the worst-case scenario is really what stokes all the popular fears about 'nuclear'. OTOH, tritium leakage could mean that routine emissions are larger.

You're conflating "being kind" with "empowering" and it causes your point to collapse onto itself like a black hole. An education is a means to escape slavery or indentured servitude, so comparing it to the kindness of some plantation owners is ridiculous.

This idea seems like the CICO (Calories-In, Calories-Out) argument, and is misleading/wrong for exactly the same reasons - neither the Earth+people (or even just the Earth) nor the human body just stock energy like that linearly.

If you increase the amount of energy flowing into the human body, the metabolism increases as well (although almost never proportionally - there are many variables) to compensate.

Similarly, it's rather unlikely that humans will continue to use exponentially increasing amounts of energy, unless we intentionally do something to effect that. Human population growth, which is partially driving energy consumption, is not exponential (it would be exponential absent of resource constraints or cultural factors, but guess what - both of those are in effect rather strongly in the real world) - and neither is energy consumption per capita. For instance, from 2005 to 2020, the US gained 30M people[1] while keeping energy consumption roughly constant[2].

I guess if you actually keep food material off the cardboard you put into the recycling, it should be fine. The vast majority of pizza boxes I've seen have way too much food material on them to be recyclable. TBH paper is hardly worth recycling in the first place. Sure it saves trees, but it adds a ton more chemical waste and produces low quality paper.

This is something overlooked by devs and PMs sitting comfortably in their chairs.

People using apps in the modern world, especially mobile apps, are tired, stressed, busy, unfocused, and on the move. Small things like that added to the mix can induce a lot of stress.

For many devs/PMs it's just a piece of text. For the user it's much more.

The translations are somehow unappreciated part of the app dev by many people. I know several languages and I checked all new translations in our app each time but few people cared as much.

Using cloth bags as an example feels so frustrating to me because banning them seems to so obviously be addressing things other than the embodied carbon represented by the particular container you bring your groceries home with.

A low-quality, low-reuse solution will almost always be the lower carbon solution if you analyze it from the point where someone picks up the product. It also ignores the question of if the embodied carbon in bags is a large factor (I doubt it) and sets aside the question of the impact of generating and disposing of many plastic bags. The latter question is further complicated by comparing how we could, in theory, design an efficient and environmental disposal system v.s. the patchwork reality of the world and the plastic shoals in the oceans.

Marine cloud brightening is one of the more reasonable geoengineering approaches because the effect is rather localized and temporary. If the spraying is not sustained, the cloud cover goes away again and that within weeks.

The particles that serve as nuclei for condensation themselves are actually seasalt. It works like this: there are tiny droplets created by spraying seawater into the air. The water then evaporates, leaving salt particles as nuclei for droplet formation again. The salt content of the proposed measures would increase the naturally occuring levels by just 5-10% from what I know.

It'snow worse that it was 20 years ago, IIRC, the Trump "tax cuts" rewrote tax code on benefits that impact tuition - university students who worked part-time for their school and got part of their tuition paid in return were suddenly on the hook for taxes on the cash equivalent of their tuition "fringe benefit". Students don't have a lot of cash, so that was a massive burden.

I worked on OpenAPI itself and have been working on the tooling since. I recently switched to GraphQL for a project and god damn! The GraphQL design is nearly perfect and achieves whatever OpenAPI or AsyncAPI was hoping to achieve. If you have an existing JSON over HTTP (Let's not call them RESTful) API then it's harder to switch to GraphQL, but if you have a new project and want type-safety and efficiency, you must give GraphQL a shot instead of writing "hopefully will be enforced in runtime API specs".
The counter-argument is that DeFi allows for different, better regulation. The blockchain isn't going to take public money to bail itself out and give itself fat bonuses off the backs of the public, unlike some participants who, let's not forget, did so perfectly legally.

There needs to be some way for the public at large to show preference for regulatory regimes. Voting isn't as effective as it used to be; which smart contracts I interact with seems like a decent alternative.

Workers sound great on paper, but in my experience, the developer experience is very much not there. Between cryptic error messages, seriously lacking docs, and fundamentally broken features, it definitely doesn't feel like a production ready project in its current state.
Yeah true, it's not the best example, and completely unrelated to type systems, I agree.

Although warnings in someway are a safety mechanism so I think it could contribute to another section of the article, but it'd be much better to have a different example for that paragraph.

I've had issues with Google's localization choices for a long time. I wonder if anyone else has had this issue with other language combinations.

I'm a bilingual Japanese/English speaker. Searching Google's search languages to English and Japanese causes the following:

- Random Japanese words show up in things such as Google Maps, even though my display language is set to English.

- Japanese results will be prioritized over English ones. For example, If I search for "the beatles", it will show the Japanese Wikipedia page as the top result before the English version. For some sites (like Discogs) only the Japanese version of the site will show up.

If just set English as my search language, searching in Japanese can bring up results that are entirely in Chinese, even though I've set my preferred languages as English and Japanese (in that order).
But you can at least admit that it's better than them not doing it?
