Visibility of Targets. Werner Adrian. A classic and a reference on the subject.
Oh, BTW, you are using the concept of UX incorrectly. Not all system -> human interfaces are UX. I’m not completely ignorant on the subject. Several years teaching programming at the university level + many more developing for the private sector does give me a certain base to talk about the subject.
Well, that’s a relief!
When a reply goes ad hominem, or insulting, it could be viewed as violence and it does disqualify the poster. Graham’s Hierarchy of disagreements is pretty interesting.
I’m replying to many posts. The aggressive ones pretty much disqualify themselves. “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent” is very applicable here. People don’t seem to read.
What is non-standard here? Homophobia has been a constant through much of history. It’s beyond disgusting and horrifying, but it’s been there for ages.
If you read my post you may notice that I’m not against memorializing, or pro-police or town hall, and that I favor these actions, but where they are not a safety concern. Oh, and this isn’t about my mother, but about the millions of drivers who may not have 100% vision, which is most of us.
Have you ever asked yourself why the vast majority of road markings worldwide are white on black, or yellow on black? Fancy? Fashion? whim?
Also, I 'd like to invite you to google “high contrast safety”
The possibility that a random person would go to the lengths of adding micro-beads, or go to the trouble of procuring reflective pavement paint of the colors used seems a bit far-fetched to me. Could be, but unlikely in my view.
Don’t bother, this place is becoming Reddit 2.0
Which is? Please people, read.
One of the first results from googling “high contrast safety”.
There are a bajillion more, and many actual research publications. You really could benefit from reading.
It looks like reading AND comprehending isn’t really your thing, bless your heart.
The article says “Paint”, a whole different ball game from chalk. Visibility aside, I’m a motorcyclist, and I can assure you that slick paint on the road is deadly. Pointing out that there hasn’t been an accident yet, and declaring it safe is a textbook example of logical fallacy.
Want data? Ask google for “high contrast safety”. Here is a result, in case your google-fu is not up to date
I made a thoroughly well though out point, and I’m replying with what I consider reasonable effort and arguments, which are countered with insults. Please re-read the thread.
I have probably not explained myself well enough, or maybe you have not read, or understood correctly.
this potentially dangerous political statement that you 100% agree with
Here you clearly have a problem with reading comprehension.
Stating that something is safe because another event hasn’t happened yet, is a logical fallacy. It’s like stating that smoking isn’t harmful because your grampa smoked until his 80’s and didn’t die of cancer.
I did not say I work in a field close to ergonomics, I said that my work INVOLVES ergonomics. Also, pretending that someone who “deals with UX” has any serious knowledge of ergonomics, is like a chiropractic saying they are an actual medical doctor, or that a software “engineer” is anything near a real engineer.
I think you may have wanted to write “enumerate”.
And no, I’m not going to give you a private lecture on high contrast visibility. Do your research. You may start with why ALL operating systems go to the trouble of having a high contrast mode. (Hint: it’s not for looks)
Have you read the comment? My reply does not allude to content, but to the insult. Part of my job is ergonomics. I’m stating a fact. That there has not been a casualty yet, does not invalidate my point.
Have I said that? I do despise the the motivation, but that does not detract from the cold facts.
I dunno? Freedom?
around the part of town where there are nightclubs, alone, at night
Aren’t we a wee opinionated and with fascist tendencies? Surprising how you defend some groups freedom but deny others.
As someone who deals with ergonomics as part of his job I KNOW there is a problem.
Same with Turd, he hates being compared to cheetos.
