Pretty sure the user experience folk are screaming for a path to be built there but are getting ignored.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 38 points 1 month ago

They aren't being ignored. The corner needs to be a right angle for compliance reasons.

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 19 points 1 month ago

But the actual corner isn't even a right angled corner.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 31 points 1 month ago

They were forced to cut corners in implementation.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Everyone says, they are not bringing their best angles. Triangles. Quadrangles. And some I assume are acute angles.

What we should do is put chainlink fence around the corner, but make the part that the users loved the most accessible with a monthly pass that they can only walk on with shoes purchased at the university store.

You mod 16 subs, what do you get?

Another day blocking API requests.

Saint Peter don’t DM me cuz I can’t go.

I owe my soul to Spez’s asshole.

It's important we do it that way for our 🌟brand identity🌟.

Management wants us to add more AI and Machine Learning so the user ends up in the parking lot.

How about a pond?

A lot of universities with large campus grounds take the approach of observing the natural foot traffic wear patterns on grassy areas, and then build walkways where the most worn down parts are.

Its... pretty obvious.

If everyone is taking an alternate, non designed path... your design sucks, modify it to facilitate what people find more effective.

And there's a whole community for them! Not sure how to link to it though.

iirc it's what they did in central park. Don't create paths and later pave the desire paths that show up

[-] zante@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 month ago

Whenever that happens, the design is wrong.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 44 points 1 month ago

Fixed. Added a wall with razor wire on top to prevent this.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 18 points 1 month ago

In IT, sometimes there's security reasons for the designed detour.
But then good design would completely obstruct the shortcut from the user's view.

change log: We've adjusted the 20 year old UI to better reflect modern aesthetic trends that our new hires learned in school.

[-] lnxtx@feddit.nl 5 points 1 month ago

Designers need to wake up and realize their job is to understand what the user wants not what they saw in a wet dream.

I, unfortunately, have to use GitHub at $DAYJOB and this is me. I navigate most of the webpage via the URL bar now.

Basically, let's say I'm working on a repo github.com/tomato/sauce/ and want to navigate to the Releases page.

Via the webpage:

  1. Type github.com into the URL bar.
  2. Don't find tomato/sauce/ in the list of recent repos, even though it's the only repo I work on.
  3. Click on some other repo that's at least in the tomato/ org.
  4. Navigate up to the tomato/ org.
  5. Find the sauce/ repo in the list.
  6. Traverse half the fucking screen to hit the "Releases" heading in the middle of the About-section.

Via the Firefox URL bar:

  1. Type gi→t→s→r→.
  2. Hit Enter.

I admit, it's hard to compete with the latter, but I wouldn't know how to navigate that way, if the former wasn't so terrible.

[-] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

What kind of sicko try to find their repos from the recent list on the main page??

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago

Hopefully somebody else $DAYJOBs at GitHub and will see this.

[-] Highsight@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

This is me, but with my work's Azure DevOps. Nice to meet a fellow auto-complete bro.

What the shit happened to that tree's shadow?

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

Probably the tree is shadowing the same area that a window in or near the building the picture is being taken from is illuminating.

[-] NaturalViber@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Also, why is this shadow off from the others

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

that's just perspective, they're only parallel when looking for a perfectly top-down angle

That’s right, it goes in the square hole.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

That's ancient.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Uhh, so looking carefully at the picture, it appears they shouldn't have bothered with the inner pathway at all, and should have just connected the bridge over the canal (?) in the background to whatever is under the camera.

Not only does the current design fail to provide a short path in demand, it leaves a goofy little boulevard behind the benches in what appears to be a dense, desirable urban area where you shouldn't waste space.
