The Fallback language function is designed to display content in language X if language Y is not available. If there is no explicit localization for a certain locale, SAP Hybris Commerce relies on locales defined as fallback locales for that locale.

However, this approach has two major flaws:

• The fallback mechanism is not compatible with the Java Resource Bundle.

SAP admits that there is a flaw in the fallback mechanism. According to the documentation, “the fallback mechanism for de_DE is always de, [javaVMLocale] regardless of what has been specified within the Hybris system.”

• SAP Hybris does not support separate fallback rules for different countries/websites.

The article explains how to overcome these issues.

At our Museum of Modern Art, a temporary exhibition of Yayoi Kusama has opened. The demand is such that tickets are distributed online only once a week, on Mondays at noon (they are free because this is Washington). Yayoi has been living in a psychiatric clinic since 1977, yet she is the most sought-after contemporary artist among those still living: her White Net No. 28 sold for more than seven million dollars.

New blog post: implemented the idea of multi-line search for multi-line orders in an online store. Just copy-paste a set of IDs or product names into the text field, and everything is set for a one-click order of all items from the list. The system displays suggestions for each line item.

I have not seen this anywhere else, so the goal of the experiment is also to check how well it will work as intended.

Egor, thanks for helping to develop the concept!

Stumbled upon some sketches of my idea for a nameless online game for money, from 2011. Ran into some conceptual difficulties at the time and got distracted by other topics. Might be useful to someone, abandoned six years ago.

For immediate clarity, keep in mind that this is chess (you’ll understand later that it’s not only that)
