This looks interesting. I've been a globalization architect for ~5-6 years and have used many of the major TMS vendors (and developed my own for internal use). I see you have support for ICU Message Format. What does the UI look like f

Regarding monitoring: I've come to rely on healthchecks.io to ensure my cron jobs when like I expect.

I'm constantly badgering my non-technical partner to try random tech shit & apps that she doesn't want and didn't ask for. She tells me no sometimes, and usually for good reason. Please tell me internet person with zero i

Yea, CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) breaking is particularly complex. Google has done a lot of work, and have this open source implementation which uses NLP. It's the best I've personally come across: https://github.co

Yep, the browser has the UCD info built into it (a simplification... but basically). Similarly our mobile devices and various backend languages have the same data backed into it. This is where there are sometimes discrepancies between how a

Agree with this, then you come across a more philosophical debate: should the very nature of written language change to adapt to the needs of technology, or the other way around? On one hand, language has always been an amorphous thing and

You're fortunate to be able to simply say "No." without it being taken as curt or rude. That's not the case for me personally, and a lot of other people. In a perfect world, that should be all that needs to be said. In r

I'm very close to needing to do the same exact thing, would really appreciate a GitHub link or something do your Dockerfile

AFTER the learning curve, I spend less than 5 mins per day in it. On payday I spend maybe 10-15 mins. There is a learning curve though; you have to think of money differently and that's a process. However, YNAB has no-joke changed my l

IMO those kinds of things come out as less financial benefit than just getting cash back. The exception is for people who travel quite a bit. For me personally, getting ~2% cash back on every purchase would be better than a moderate discoun

I can't quite tell what you're implying here... but this makes total sense to me. Every country has different regulations, and therefore would require different wording and agreements as a Terms of Use. Anyone that has worked at a
