    In all my life I've only experienced one UI overhaul that I considered an improvement, and even then there were a few specific features that were a step backwards, even by proper design standards (the same action did two different things in only slightly different scenarios.)

    Buuiuuuut I know half the time it's just because I'm used to the old way, only the other half is it some corporate bullshit trying to push a feature no one asked for.

    Hey here's a thought: let's get rid of all the laws requiring single-unit detached housing. That should open up some new housing in places people want to live.

    As far as I understand, the line gets even blurrier then that. Apparently quiet a lot of the subsections of your brain do things that can be interpreted as conciseness, but we experience it as one unified thing.

    Perhaps I want clear. If you split helium, you lose energy. You have to go above iron if want to release energy from fission (mostly).

  • Hey, I'm new to GitHub!
  • OofShoot OofShoot 8mo ago 95%

    I've bounced off GitHub more than once trying to figure out how to download the .exe file that I assumed must be somewhere. Honestly I still don't understand the interface and I've submitted bug reports for Jeroba on there. I might have even used GitHub for a project once? Every time I look at it it's overwhelming and confusing and none of it is self-explanatory. But, that's fairly true for a lot of stuff in programming.

  • Why does Gboard replace spaces with characters I add between words?
  • OofShoot OofShoot 11mo ago 100%

    I couldn't find any information as to why, but playing around with other symbols suggests it only does it with symbols where they assume the space isn't supposed to be there. E.G. Colon, ending parenthesis, equals sign, etc. Digging around in the settings I couldn't find any option to disable this functionality.

    Folks elsewhere suggested switching to the Swype keyboard, but I don't have personal experience with it in a very long time so I don't know anything about the settings and automatic behavior.

    In case you haven't been to a library in a while (yes I know this post is a joke) they do way more than just books these days. Depending on the library you'll get music, movies, videogames, computers, photography equipment, 3D printers, laser cutters, audio visual equipment, recording studios, meeting rooms, and probably other shit I'm forgetting about. Smaller libraries are obviously more likely to stick to the basics, but my suburban library where I used to live had nearly everything I mentioned.

  • What physicians get wrong about the risks of being overweight
  • OofShoot OofShoot 1y ago 100%

    While race is mostly a social construct, it's easier to use race as shorthand for "populations with long-term historical ancestry in a loosely defined geographical area, accepting that population mixing has been occurring since the dawn of time and will continue to do so into the future" than it is to say that whole thing every time

    BUT, it's my understanding that, for example, Pacific Islanders are generally healthy at a higher body fat percentage than other groups of humans.

  • OofShoot OofShoot 1y ago 100%

    BMI is useful for historical population comparisons because you can calculate it using just height and weight and it's already been in use for a very long time. It's so crude as to be very misleading when applied to individuals, especially if you decide to turn your brain off when deciding how to evaluate the information.

    The origins of the calculation are immaterial. It's value is in comparative studies, not direct judgement. The actual judgement of "good" vs "bad" BMI numbers is dumb(ish) but it is good for comparing populations across both time and space.

    If this counts as advertising, just let me know and I'll take down the post. I'm collecting donations to fund a referendum campaign to switch Missouri to Freedom Voting (AKA Approval Voting). This is being organized by [Missouri Agrees](https://www.missouriagrees.org/) and the donations are being facilitated by the Action Network and Show Me Integrity. [Link to donate here.](https://actionnetwork.org/groups/show-me-integrity-action-fund) We're aiming for $1.2 million by Saturday July 1st and this is an all-or-nothing affair. If we meet our funding goal, the signature campaign for the reference goes ahead. If we don't, everyone gets their money back. Now here's the good news, any of the fundraisers up to Molly's fundraiser will get you a 3:1 power multiplier. For every dollar you donate their in the link they donate a dollar AND an anonymous third person will donate one too. Now at this point you might be wondering, *what the heck is Freedom Voting anyway?* Great question, I'm glad you asked. Here we go: 1) Vote for everyone you like. 2) Most votes wins. 3) That's it. Why is it called Freedom Voting? Well, because it gives you the freedom to vote for everyone you like, instead of having to choose only one. You can no longer waste your vote on a minor candidate, because voting for them doesn't stop you from voting for anyone else. It's also called Approval Voting because the fundamental question is "do you approve of this candidate or not?" Of course, it fixes loads of problems with our current system. No more [spoilers](https://youtu.be/JtKAScORevQ), fewer [invalid ballots](https://electionscience.org/library/approval-voting-versus-irv/), representative results both [in theory](http://zesty.ca/voting/sim/) and [real life](https://electionscience.org/commentary-analysis/super-tuesday-deep-voting-methods-dive/), and it's always [safe to vote for your favorite](https://electowiki.org/wiki/Favorite_Betrayal_criterion), no matter what. Simply put, [people love it](https://electionscience.org/commentary-analysis/approval-voting-americas-favorite-voting-reform/). If you guys have any questions just let me know, I'm happy to chat!
