I'm in the process of putting together an android app which will have a Tengwar translation out of the box (an Elvish dialect).
If we would like to maintain the maximum compliance with the ISO standards while representing this fantasy world, how should we go about it?

I'm really reluctant to agree with the kitty on this one because the way he says it is quite possibly the meanest way feasible that pretends this is a white or black issue.
@bjb568 In the business, we have these things called "time requirements".
@bjb568 It's better to build a prototype and find out what people value and what people don't than to spend a year building something that it turns out services nobody's use case.
You can always make it better later. But the user's experience is, at the end of the day, all that matters in a product.
Sure, but if to make a div resize and layout correctly on different browsers, I could either work out how to do that with angular, or just shove a bootstrap class on it, and know that it'll work
@bjb568 "Market research" is very different from user testing. Remember: users don't know what they want until you give them something to complain about.
@bjb568 Yeah, but believe me, you don't know what your users value in a UI. Only your users do. Having a layout that fills a 4k screen is irrelevant to 99% of them. They'd rather it actually work and be useful.
Time is a really, really important resource. Time is expensive. You need to be able to allocate it appropriately. The only way to know the best way to allocate time is for your users to tell you what matters to them.
Now, sure, sometimes users don't know what they want, and then you have to bring in experts in UX or UI to make the experience better, or you need to get a solid engineer to make things faster.
But usually, those are micro-optimizations. Go for the low-hanging fruit first.
And you know what? That all sucks. If you don't want to deal with that workflow, don't build consumer-facing products. Build server software or other infrastructure.
@bjb568 The industry says no. Mostly because everyone knows Bootstrap, and nobody knows the layout framework you rolled yourself except you. You're sort of right in the sense that Bootstrap is a lowest-common-denominator tool, but there are important practical concerns in the industry when you have lots of programmers working on many different projects.
@bjb568 I assure you that you're using a hand-rolled "framework", even if it's little more than something like Backbone. And if you're not, then I doubt it will scale to accommodate changing user requirements or constantly onboarding new developers. There are social considerations that make frameworks appealing, not just technical ones.
So you've got to make it understandable to Joe Citizen, who doesn't know a mouse from his ass, while still making it work on his phone, laptop and 4K TV so that he doesn't get confused when he tries to do everything at once, while still making your UI code understandable to other developers.
@JamesENL The easiest way to make things scale is to not style them at all (and for images give it a max-width 100%). Maybe restructure the layout at one breakpoint.
@AlexisKing meh, it's getting better, I'm learning all teh dezinez
I'm so glad all I have to worry about is hideously complex binary data structures wth real time throughput guarantees in the face of untrustworthy networking. No mascara and lipstick choices needed, just hard realities.
Let me say one more thing, @bjb: there's nothing more frustrating than seeing users use your site for the first time. ;) You'll have a huge button that clearly says "Continue", and all your users will be too stupid to figure out what the heck they're supposed to do, and then they'll drop off from your site because it "doesn't make sense". And then you're back to the drawing board.
Remember: users are dumb. Good UX designers are basically superheroes.
@tchrist Yeah... sometimes I envy lines of work with minimal social elements... ones that are mostly just technical problems. But I also like working with users and solving social problems, so it's a mixed bag. I like what I do, but I don't blame people for hating it. Sometimes I hate it, too. ;)
Get the footer to be at the bottom. Unless there's a sidebar where it should be at the bottom only if width > 1500px, else have it flow naturally under the collapsed sidebar unless that's too short. For some cases, have it below the viewport instead of at the bottom. For others, expand a subcontainer instead of the main container to lay out something else correctly. For yet others, make it's to be a specific pixel offset from the viewport bottom. And all must account for height of footer, page container, sidebar, page contents, and specific requirements.
I think flexbox can do all that with lots of classes and another wrapper around the whole page.
@bjb568 Hmm, yeah, I think you could do it with classes on the body (or top layout element, if you have one), but it would be a little complicated. It might be more consistent and less buggy, though.

@PraxisAshelin face to face tech interview is usually more important than test through email. Try to do what you can then explain the situation to the HR or the interviewer?
that does seem like the best option. I fear that most of my time will be spent on learning the things before I can get anything done, and thus have very little to show near the end, but I will try nevertheless
I've only ever been to two job interviews many years ago before that trend, how does the coding-during-interview thing work anyway do you get Internet access etc?
Thought most would have to, most things now don't have much in the way of off-line docs although I guess code completion gets you most of the way there in many cases
