While I can see that being used, I don't think this was intentional or big enough.

I had assumed the author didn't limit his statements to web browsers. If it's an application on a user's box, they should be using the language the OS provides.

In the case of less complex hardware, IoT or embedded devices with localization support, you would likely have another strategy if it doesn't have a setup process. For something without internet or GPS, you can't do this obviously. For something without a GUI, it's unlikely to have localization support without direct design consideration for it's destination.

It would be a useful way to predict it possibly, but presumably the author meant if you have support for localization, you also provide an obvious and easy means of changing the language.

More importantly, you should be using the language an existing user has already used in the past.

Edit: come to think of it, this is less a programmer problem, and more of a UX problem. Obviously as programmers we need to take UX into consideration, but in all my products I've worked on, UX is specified already by a UX designer.

Man I don't understand what I read but everything in that makes no sense.

How do you crush a commercial spark plug to get something you can throw

What happened? What did I miss?

I can't wait!

Edit: I mean I would rather not have to do this, but at least I can help make a fascist tool worthless.

Sure, but instead of individual targets it's the USA

It's deeper than that. Putin conditioned the dementia into him, so once the orders are carried out, he forgets

I sent this to a friend and my brother

And no one has laughed. I'm surprised. I thought this was funny as hell

That was the lie they tried.

That Iraq was storing weapons of mass destruction and coordinating with Al-Queda. It didn't make a lot of sense to anyone, but dissenting opinions were immediately called treasonous so people went with it. Or maybe not went with it- more like they didn't know what the crap to do and shrugged.

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. It was just something Bush wanted to finish fucking up something his dad started and a bunch of rich people made a lot of money because of Cheney's influence on it.

Meh, I think mine can go with a few more holes anyway

Somehow, a huge amount of people hate thinking. Like it's painful or like exertion or something. Anything that can just give them what they want is better.

It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. They just want an answer. They don't want to know why, or how, they want to know now.

It's the shortcut to knowledge all the ancient parables warned us about. Instead of physically destroying your mind, it stops it from working at all.
