^^_^^ thank you
Obviously, you're not a golfer.
Yes! One easy/good one to use is https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ It lets you pick two colors, and you can even use the eyedropper tool in their Color Picker box to select a color right off your screen. Then it'll tell you the Contrast Ratio of the two selected colors. Higher is better. It will give you a pass/fail for WCAG AA and AAA (two levels of web accessibility standards). I just now checked the red and green from the linked map and it had a ratio of 1.3:1 which is a fail for both AA and AAA.
Some websites (like Trello) give accessibility options to skip colors altogether, and use patterns (cross-hatch, polka-dot, etc.). But in general, going for a high enough contrast ratio should be good enough. I'm a web dev as well and we just run everything through one of those WCAG tools (I believe we've been using the WAVE browser plugin) and fix it until it passes. :) But, being the colorblind one on the team, I can often just be like "uhmm, that one ain't gonna work." lol.
btw sorry I got so spicy in my initial comment. I really wanted to see the map. :P
Edit: Another reply to my comment had a link to a more colorblind-friendly version of the map, with red and blue instead of red and green. Much clearer to my eyes. I eyedropped those two colors into that webaim checker, and I was surprised to see it also failed quite badly on the color contrast! For example you wouldn't want red text on a blue background (unless it was a bright red and dark blue, or vice versa). But for map colors, well... I guess that goes to show that for colorblind checking you have to use a little common sense and know what the most common no-no combos are (red/green seems to be the most common). I checked the accessibility docs at my work just now and we sometimes use this site to check what a site looks like under various types of colorblindness: https://www.toptal.com/designers/colorfilter
oh that's so much better! thank you!!
Wtf are those colors, jfc... How bout a hand for us colorblinds.
Ooh that's cool looking. Thanks! Definitely will keep an eye out for it when the time comes.
I have a OnePlus 8. I've had it for what feels like a while now... 3 years if I had to guess? Can't remember honestly. But the battery life kicks ass, and it charges really quickly with the "warp" charger.
I only do a little bit of customization.... I switched from Nova Prime to Kvaesitso recently and am liking it.. but have never rooted or changed OS. The camera leaves a little to be desired, but that's ok, I have a real camera for when I need to do that.
I probably won't look for another phone until this one gets bogged down or otherwise broken, and when I do, I usually just see what my carrier has that isn't super expensive. I generally avoid iPhones, and I prefer to stay away from Google as much as reasonably possible (I know I just installed their phone app, I know, I know) so I haven't really considered a Pixel. But my arm could be twisted.. I dunno.
I haven't heard of Nothing!
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. The prose is beautiful and mesmerizing. It forces me to read it at the speed of speech, to let it flow. I'm a sucker for long and winding sentences (when they're done well), and this doesn't disappoint.
It's also quite disgusting, just as everyone says about it. If you can't handle brutal senseless violence, don't pick this up. It's pretty interesting to see the racism/xenophobia of today reflected in American history (1850-ish). It reminds me of the Dark Forest theory from Three Body Problem: these guys go around killing not just out of a love of violence, but because it's the only guaranteed way to come out on top. If you aren't the killer, someone else will be. Capitalism and greed work like this too.
Ah, I set the Witcher books down halfway through but gotta get back to them! Glad to hear you're enjoying them. At least they're mostly short-ish.
nice, thanks. I have a OnePlus phone so the Google Phone app wasn't installed on it by default. But I just installed it..... hopefully fewer robocalls from now on.
:'( I feel ya.
