They should have talked with UX professionals. The situation is just as, if not more dire in the UX community.

So you could try grouping icons into sections, labeling the sections, and then clearly delineating the space between said sections. For example, you could have small text in all bold and all caps as the section title. Another user suggested using text with the icons, which is good for accessibility. Also, looking at the first screenshot in your Github, you could completely merge the left icon only nav with the nav directly to its right. This could result in saving some space.

Also, if you really wanted to, you could move back to a more traditional top menu where you have the section title, mousing over the section would open a menu (what is now your icons), and then if needed you could have a submenu underneath (what is your left nav with the words in your first Github photo). Discoverability would potentially take a hit but it's a different way of doing it.

If you have any other questions feel free to reach out, I like doing this stuff.

Edit: Another user suggested using AI enhanced chat to navigate around. This is a sign that the information architecture is WAY too confusing. AI agents shouldn't be utilized for navigation purposes.

As a UX person, this is the type of stuff I love to see posted here. So many people don't understand how atrocious the UX is in non-sexy career tracks such as manufacturing. One question I have is how users have reacted to your leftmost nav bar. 13 icons is a lot, do you show them all at one time, or do they dynamically appear based on the user role of the person who's logged in at the time?

It would be great to see the industry refocus on products that are designed to be consumed in moderation.

I feel that the legal weed industry is speedrunning the past decade of craft brewing. Craft beer focused on growing the scene while focusing on higher and higher ABV beers, but now is transitioning back towards beers that are a bit more sessionable and don’t get you blasted after 2 beers. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the weed industry start focusing on sessionable items sooner rather than later.

It's also unclear how much of uninsured funds will be recouped (although most people believe the figure will be above 80%)

Where is this 80% number coming from?

I wish Ford the best of luck. The last time I worked at Ford AV, there wasn't a clear sense of direction after the initial kickoff project that was done to publicize Argo's AV chops. Hopefully this will have a better ending than that initial attempt.

This article might as well have a subtitle of "Damn, I really hate Elon and all his stupid fanboys". I think this is the line that made me roll my eyes the most:

A fun irony here is that the Cybertruck's evident frailty as a heavy-duty utility vehicle will disqualify it, absolutely, in the eyes of the median American pickup-truck buyer

The median American pickup truck buyer isn't the target audience. The audience are techies who want to drive something that doesn't look like anything else on the road while still sitting up high so they're on eye level with the aforementioned American pickups.

Not surprising. If you can work remotely and are fed up with local/state/both parts of California government, why not move to the Tahoe/Reno area and enjoy zero income tax, lower sales tax, and potentially cheaper housing prices and the corresponding lower property taxes? I last lived in Northern Nevada in 2016 and the stream of California "refugees" was always a constant topic.

Imagine homeless people. You wouldn't be able to give them money.

I've seen homeless people with QR codes and chip readers.

Thanks for the link. I was hoping that someone was going through and cataloging as much of the Titanic as possible. Hopefully we get to the point where we can turn drones loose to explore the ship as much as possible before it degrades.

I'm curious, how did you find a condotel to buy into? This is the first I've heard of something like this, and I live in a pretty touristy area of Florida.

and not who is benefited by the destruction of the pipeline.

The article itself said that Norway would benefit from the destruction of the pipe line.

The clip seemed pretty mild to me? Basically says that he wants to do the joke, but it got no laughter, so he's not doing it. You can see worse on an anonymous Twitter feed.

How well would this work in a hot, humid environment? He mentions that having a vent at the bottom is essential for getting cooler air in which makes sense, but I live in a place where it's also very humid.

If you treat it like a single player Fallout game and not bother with the multiplayer

This kind of defeats the purpose of the whole game though.

Lowering costs --> higher profits.

To argue that Detroits issues are because of the lack of immigrants is a joke.

Can you explain why you feel this way? I'm not understanding why there needs to be more people simply because there's a lot of habitable land.

A Barnes & Noble near my parents moved from their original space at one end of the mall to the other end. This new space is smaller than their original space by about half or two thirds. While they have fewer materials on the shelves (and fewer shelves), it seems more lively than the original spot did, probably because there's fewer space for the number of people who go there. I bet that the company would see that as a fair tradeoff.

I feel the same way, yet I see what's happening in Canada as a very slippery slope. At what point is it suggested not because it's what's best for the patient, but because the government wants to save a few bucks?

In the US, "nitrogen homebrewing equipment" is the dual-use dog whistle for AS supplies.

This is the first I've heard of this, and I've been in the homebrewing scene for awhile now. If someone told me they got nitrogen homebrewing equipment, I'd be pretty stoked because nitro beer isn't that common at all among homebrewers. Got anything to back this up?

HN is a lolbertarian paradise

The idea that HN is some sort of libertarian paradise is ridiculous. This is definitely a liberal haven.

Could you add some links?

Congrats to them! Very rare to see people who follow their dreams no matter what their field become millionaires.

On a side note, I feel like I should like Dwarf Fortress, but every time I look at it, it seems completely daunting.

There's been some very interesting advances made with ICF (insulated concrete forms). If you live in a natural disaster prone area and are building from scratch, I'd check them out.

she only controlled Alameda, and not entirely

This is most definitely a hot take.

As a UX designer, I'm curious as to how Framers animations (and interactive prototyping in general) compare to Axures. I've always loved using Axure for my animations, and it does a great job with giving non-code people a way to lay out conditions, set variables, etc.

Andreas Antonopoulos is one of the best (if not the best) Bitcoin proponents out there today. Very informative guy.

the world will not naively give China the same opportunities again.

I fear that you're wrong. Hopefully I'm the one who's wrong, but only time will tell.

This looks pretty cool! I know that HN is very bearish on crypto, but I could see this or something like it be used by a crypto company to promote NFTs in conjunction with a card game or something like that.
