  • Notepad on Windows 11 uses RichEdit https://devblogs.microsoft.com/math-in-office/windows-11-notepad/

    I think you may be getting confused with Rich Text Format and the like - I.e. A format/markup and editors supporting bold, italiic, different fonts etc.

    That’s not RichEdit - it is a basically a type of text entry box in Windows and the features it can support. The current version of it supports emoji, multilevel undo, auto rendering URLs, drag and drop etc. It’s still just a text box but just a bit more integrated and sophisticated than the older versions.

    So Notepad in Windows 11 is a bit more sophisticated in terms of the text interface for users than it used to be but it’s still just working with txt files.

    It’s not like wordpad, which could work with proper markup and other formats. This is cruedly more in the realm like notepad++ - working with txt files but with more sophisticated control and options for the user (but to be clear notepad++ remains way more sophisticated than win 11 notepad).

    Edit: and of course, the AI stuff is all bullshit. Fucking Microsoft.


  • Why the confusion?

    If its the term race, that is what the original cancer.gov chart uses “raxe/ethnicity”. It’s not a term used in UK where I’m from - ethnicity is used - so I do find it odd from that viewpoint.

    But Race/ethnicity is a very important health metric as different ethnicities have different risk levels for diseases, and it’s also an important way of checking for health inequalities.

    For example the graph could be read as showing that young white and Asian women are at higher risk of breast cancer. Or it could be read that young black and Hispanic women with cancer are not being picked up early when young. Or many other interpretations. It’s very important data to collect and present in the health realm.
