Sure, but if you have a staff of 10000, you're doing this 10000 times. Unless you share that in a common place, and now you're re-inventing the thing we're claiming not to need.

I've seen two resdit threads where people insisted the hands were wrong, and people took photos of their hands in the same pose.

But, then, people did this for digital editing before. Insisted there were "clear signs of photoshop", from people who never opened that app.

Well, sure, there's no one left to fight once everyone already lost their job and moved to another career. But, that's sort of a "might makes right" resolution. The workers don't have the political sway needed to get the government to intervene.

Businesses succeed in getting that sort of market intervention all the time. Most of the modern changes to copyright law are driven by business lobbying.

Plenty of people will rate the design of classic cars more highly, and will visit shows that display them. They also won't buy a car that looks like that.

The people outside the building aren't paying rent.

People actively spend lots of money to make the outside of their houses look aesthetically pleasing.

They also do this with cars, clothes, wives, phones, and their own faces.

But the people in the building go outside too you know. Few like the brutalist style.

I know how the building I live in looks like. I am also aware of my own hairstyle and cloth and backpack and ...

Until quite recently, the reasonably feature complete open source libraries available for things like DICOM or HL7 were old C/C++ libraries, Java, and C#. That often created a choice between Java and C#. People not doing Windows based development tend not to be interested in C#.

Cross platform C# is certainly getting huge in healthcare and medtech recently though.

Is it? My experience from 2014 - 2018, was that C# was only used in the lifesciences software for Windows, and as wrappers around device drivers mostly written in COM.

Everything that was done on the backend side was done in Java, although there were some exceptions for .NET deployments.

So we ended up with mixed skills teams where depending on the ticket, you would be coding Java or C#.

IME this decade a lot of people are using C# for Azure 'serverless' deployments.

You're saying "not just completing a test", but this will inevitably be a test, just in conversation form.

I never find the ability to visualize things, or imagine voices or sound, too interesting, as I have never used those abilities to do anything practical. I do not rehearse words in my head before talking, or create an image in my head before drawing art.

Doing art teaches you that you only have a general sense of what a lot of objects look like. People need reference for almost everything they haven't drawn before, and can struggle to understand the proportions of things they're directly looking at.

It's funny, when I heard the idea that some people can't visualize things I was unbelievably jealous. Until my mid-30s I had extreme hemophobia and if I just glanced at a cut, a surgery scar, or even walked into a hospital my mind would fill with visual memories or imagined images of wounds, blood, and who knows what else. Then I'd pass out. Even looking at an ultrasound would make me very woozy.

You are hopefully aware though that this is not the norm. Many (if not all) artists tend to visualise their work before and while they are doing it.

Watch people draw, and you'll realize that can't be true, or at least is a very incomplete description of what's going on.

People have processes they go through to eventually get to something reasonably correct. Systems for drawing people, perspective rules, etc. These get extremely elaborate. They shouldn't need any of it if they could fully visualize the scene. They'd just need to copy that image to paper.

You'll hear people say things like "trust the process". They are struggling with what they're drawing looking wrong to them, until they're fairly far along and the shapes are fairly complete. Even when they're doing things correctly, their brain isn't recognizing it.

> They are struggling with what they're drawing looking wrong to them, until they're fairly far along and the shapes are fairly complete.

In general I agree, but I have a counter example. I have a friend that has always been very good at drawing, and when he draws, it's immediately obvious that he has a very precise idea of what is going to happen. People often gather around him because it is entertaining to look at the drawing and suddenly understand what it represents. It's a similar experience to uncovering a photo frame covered with dust.

I assume that this ability is not uncommon among professional drawers.

Yep, I often find the hardest thing is coordinating the hands to produce what the brain is showing. My frustration often stems from the meat gloves just not being fast or accurate enough to keep up.

(Designer/illustrator/animator, now software engineering.)

I built a house recently, I'm not sure how much fun that would've been if I couldn't visualize things before building certain features, yes I built it off plans but they're not 3d so being able to draw a 3d image in my head is extremely helpful.

When away from my instruments - guitar and piano - visualizing playing whatever pieces I'm working on is enormously valuable in that when I return to the instrument my retention is significantly improved compared to when I don't visualize my playing. I'm pretty sure this has been tested in RCTs, but I don't have them readily available.

I, for one, find it very practical.

I do a lot of thinking by visualizing relationships between concepts in a kind of graph. When I draw, I visualize the scene first. When I build widgets in my wood shop, I visualize the result and all intermediate states. When I was writing 3d renderers (a long time ago), it was immensely helpful to visualize the points and triangles in my head.

Most of the listed problems are issues of incentives, and those are true everywhere. Insurance companies are always going to be reluctant to pay.

That there are no billboard ads for personal injury lawyers, clearly doesn't imply injury lawsuits aren't occurring.

The general problem of how to advertise a small business has never been solved.

I see ads for some local pizza places, as they've learned that can work for a delivery business, but most restaurants have no ads. They don't know of anything that works.
