    I'm surprised there is a distinction between the two at this point. What we have are "user interfaces" and both are graphical, whether it's interacting with text or graphics. I thi…

    Software today is a complicated mess. On the consumer side, peoples minds are so fickle and they want the latest shiny object or app; on the software side, companies are constantly…

    I think this is common across all technological phases: wild west implementations preceeds standardization.

    Not very hard actually—those who eat lots of meat and dairy have plenty of health issues. A change brought to you in part by natural selection. EDIT: For the downvoters: https://nu…
