It's pronounced Herb not Erb
The phrase "design language" is overstated and pretentious. Anywhere design language is used the word design, by itself works. Design encompasses all the elements that unite an object into a cohesive work.
The phrase design language started with internet articles needing to pad their word count.
(not a designer myself btw)
Isn't design language mainly used to describe general things about how a design should work?
Take Material for example. Material itself is a design language, telling you how far apart certain click targets should be, how big text should be, stuff like that, to make a generally useable UI. It doesn't tell you what shape or what colour your button should be, that's up to the implementation, like Material UI, to decide, which is what I would call the general design.
The miss use of the term "billet". As in "Made from Billet Aluminum to military specs" I have literally sourced metals from all over the world. Ain't no one ever tried to sell me "billet" anything.
A billet is an old term that was used when iron and steels were smelted and then poured in to either kind of a bread loaf mold or a round shape called a bloom. It would then be reheated at a later time and then formed into the final shape. No one would use "billet" or a "bloom" to make anything from it. It would have been "sponge" like and to soft to be useful for anything.
Fecking sales trying to market to ignorant people with a term that doesn't mean what anyone thinks it means.
The little separator bars on the conveyor belts thingies at the cashier in a super market should always be placed for the person behind you. If the bozo in front of me wants to pay for my shit he can go right ahead.
A few weeks ago I went to the grocery to buy a few chocolate bars. The guy in front of me had a bunch of stuff and I placed my chocolate on the belt wayyyyy behind his stuff in a little pile. To me it looked obvious that it was not part of his purchases. I didn't even think of using the separator thing. I was very tired at the time and not paying much attention.
Of course...the cashier grabbed my candy and rang it up with his stuff. Dude in front of me nicely told her that those were not his. The cashier apologized, I apologized, and then the cashier started going through the corporate point-of-sale-obstacle-course of undoing the chocolate candy from his purchase.
At this point, the other customer was more than ready to get out of there, "Don't worry about it. I don't mind buying his chocolate and I really don't have time for this." Embarrassed, I apologized again. He said don't sweat it, buddy and left.
I got a serious gangster vibe off the guy, too. I thought damn...did the mob just buy me chocolate?
So yeah...your idea could save a life!
Businesses keeping bankers hours, especially banks, should stop immediately. How could it possibly be a good idea to only be open during the main times that no one has free time to run errands? Why do I have to use PTO to go to the mechanic, or the doctor? Why can't these places, which require you to visit them in person, be open during the days and hours during the week that people actually have time to visit them in person?
Buying products from (known) Chinese companies and buying products manufactured / assembled / resources acquired in China isn't the same and the former should be condemned.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?
The answer is unequivocally "NO".
A sound is not a sound until it vibrates the listeners eardrums. Before that it's just a pressure wave. Ergo, if no eardrums are around, there is no sound...
People should stop purchasing things from Nintendo. The literal worst company I've ever been a fan of.
