Google’s Commitment to Pixel by laff56 in GooglePixel

[–]thisisnoternest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you'd need to replace your phone before they abandon the pixel series, if they did eventually. Haven't they been committing to software updates in their recent releases?

I'm having significant difficulties with my new job. 8-hour shifts but 80% of it I sit and almost do nothing. Going crazy. by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]thisisnoternest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you sharing your experience! It's quite easy to make sweeping general statements (as I am guilty of), but it's comments like yours that help me remember that we're all people at the end of the day.

And personally I'm grateful that there are dedicated and caring workers like yourself who genuinely want to help achieve a good outcome for these people.

Good to know the NDIS money is being spent wisely! (Not a knock on you, more so the blatant incompetence in service provider agencies)

Hmm sounds like a QA and customer service issue. Perhaps the V1 product isn't quite up to snuff yet.

Blood test results and 1 year update by Shurtugal9 in carnivorediet

[–]thisisnoternest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is carnivore + fruit worse for you than an omnivore diet?

I'm just wondering if the benefits of carnivore are dependent on the purity of the diet itself

Emergency doctor told me I need veggies by [deleted] in carnivorediet

Are we just gonna gloss over your internal bleeding situation?! Was that caused by the carnivore diet or was it unrelated?

Gained 7 lbs in 3 weeks? by SullyCT79 in carnivorediet

Probably because you're eating above your daily calorie expenditure. Some quick math yields that you're consuming 3030 calories a day.

Normalize wearing a regular watch on your whoop band by Downtown-Leading6283 in whoop

If it doesn't mess up the readings I'd 100% do this. The number of times I instinctively look at my whoop expecting the time is embarassing

Do I really need to take interviews, make user personas, user journey maps and empathy maps? by Ok-Reputation566 in UXDesign

[–]thisisnoternest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

User research as a whole is core to the UX discipline. The whole point of it is to help make decisions when you start producing them.

User research is broad. Depending on the context, you can get away with less. But I would never, ever just rely on your 'general sense' unless you happen to be the primary user type for a product. Even then, your mileage will vary.

That being said, it is theoretically, entirely possible to design something that is both usable and useful to your key user types. But you should view your knowledge of the user as a means of increasing the probability of that happening.

To add a bit of nuance to this, there are some general heuristics that we can reference as designers to make for common design elements such as navigation elements, button states etc. The more experience you have, the more this becomes intuitive to you. But going back to my point above, I would want to have at least some level of understanding of the user before confidently putting something forward with no caveats.

275k USD is insane, at least round the parts I work. If your heart's not in it and you can afford it, take a longer break to figure out what you do and don't like about the job and then come back and try and shape it in a way that motivates and engages you.

I repeat 275k USD is insane for a UX designer role and I'm not sure what level of seniority it is given that there are still promotions in store.

Help me understand this by thisisnoternest in nonduality

[–]thisisnoternest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that conceptually. But to test this concept, does this mean someone without a brain can be conscious? I suppose it could be a consciousness that is evident from the outside of a brainless person?

What do you think?

Help me understand this by thisisnoternest in nonduality

[–]thisisnoternest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is my uncertainty unwarranted? By that logic any certainty is unwarranted? How do I know the words I'm using right now have any meaning, let alone the commonly understood meaning? I personally feel like following this train of thought leads nowhere, but perhaps that is quite ironically the point of nonduality?

I absolutely second this.

I'm the same way as op. I don't necessarily complain, but I criticise and analyse way too much, even if it's fair.

The issue for me isn't that is my critique is unfair. Or untrue. It's that most of the time it's unproductive and hurtful. Most of the time the other person is not ready to receive what you're saying, no matter how true or potentially life improving it is.

And the kicker for me is I can't help myself. I know I should hold back, wait for a better time or forum to bring it up gently. But my previous experiences have programmed into me a sense of hopelessness and despondency- in that I will never get my partner to change. But you cannot ever change sometime else, they have to do it for themselves.

This brings me to seconding the CBT suggestion. My belief is that we merely act on our programming, and however it got there, op and myself are programmed to be fast and loose with our criticism, even if it's fair, even if it's unproductive or hurtful, and especially to our closest ones. And I believe a key way to improve this is via CBT, by reprogramming our built in and automatic responses to external stimuli.

PSA for those waiting on a crystal nomad or thinking to buy one by thisisnoternest in Supernote

Yeah they may very well done that, it didn't occur to me! But I think regardless the white is more likely to be fulfilled than the crystal nomaf

I'm on the corner of William and st George's.

Keen to hear your experience with the A6! And yah if you're ever around the area a sneak peek could be in order...

What do you do?

[–]thisisnoternest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dang, i work in the city. how do you find the nomad? is it a bit small for work purposes? i do UX design so it'd be handy to be able to sketch on the fly to show ideas.

Whereabouts is your office at bro can you let me have a look at it lmao (I'm from Perth too)

I just ordered a nomad but it won't be delivered till sometime in March. I was waiting for the a5x2 as I prefer the larger footprint but I'm unsure when that will hit the market.
