Ещё раз убеждаемся, снова и снова, что когда UX получает от руководства право вето, а разработка и дизайнеры работают под надзором ux-группы всё время, то в результате тратится субъективно много времени и очень много маны (и огромное количество войн про «пиксель влево, здесь немного анимации, здесь можно ещё вот так, пожа-а-а-алуйста»), но результат настолько заметно лучше, что даже неудобно перед теми параллельными проектами, которые по такой схеме не работают. #будни_проектировщиков - × × ×

И вот этот парадокс между «всем» и «не всем», оказывается, не в том, что люди не способны, а в том, что просто может не хватить времени (воли, энергии, упорства, настойчивости). #grind_is_good - × × ×

“They used three different subjects for the experiments—incidentally, they were part of the research team because it requires being inside a functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging system for hours at a time. The subjects were exposed to two different groups of Hollywood movie trailers as the fMRI system recorded the brain's blood flow through their brains' visual cortex. The readings were fed into a computer program in which they were divided into three-dimensional pixels units called voxels (volumetric pixels). This process effectively decodes the brain signals generated by moving pictures, connecting the shape and motion information from the movies to specific brain actions. As the sessions progressed, the computer learned more and more about how the visual activity presented on the screen corresponded to the brain activity. After recording this information, another group of clips was used to reconstruct the videos shown to the subjects. The computer analyzed 18 million seconds of random YouTube video, building a database of potential brain activity for each clip. From all these videos, the software picked the one hundred clips that caused a brain activity more similar to the ones the subject watched, combining them into one final movie. Although the resulting fukn is low resolution and blurry, it clearly matched the actual clips watched by the subjects.” #trendtaste #схватил_за_мозг - × × ×

“It’s the heart of your Facebook experience, completely rethought from the ground up,” Zuckerberg says, noting that they’ve been working on it all year. “Timeline is the story of your life.” What Zuckerberg showed was a beautiful new Profile that is much more visual than anything Facebook has done before. To be honest, it looks a bit like a really nice Tumblr blog. It has three main parts: * all your stories * all your apps * a new way to express who you are; And it goes all the way back to when you were born. Trying to display all of this content was a major design challenge, Zuckerberg noted. How do you do it all on a single page? Well, all of your recent content is shown in a new grid-view. But as you go back in time, it’s more about summarizing your content to display the most important content. The farther back you go, the less you see — it’s just the key moments. “This is the magic of how Timeline works,” Zuckerberg said.” #редизайн #таймлайны - × × ×

“On the surface, introversion looks a lot like shyness. Both limit social interaction, but for differing reasons. The shy want desperately to connect but find socializing difficult, says Bernardo J. Carducci, professor of psychology and director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. Introverts seek time alone because they want time alone. An introvert and a shy person might be standing against the wall at a party, but the introvert prefers to be there, while the shy individual feels she has no choice.” #схватил_за_мозг - × × ×

“Mike did some more work on our font to fix some diacritics (that's all the glyphs with accents etc) and to add some Cyrillic glyphs. We're trying to resist adding more and more glyphs to the font as it impacts the file size, but Алексей Волков convinced us that adding these few glyphs would get us 90% there in supporting russian and other eastern european languages. We hope this is enough for now, we're learning a lot here! :)” - × × ×
