So you're mad that he is taking a serious approach to your meme, but then you're bringing up data.

So is this a joke we shouldn't take seriously? Or should he be looking at the data?

I really miss how windows phone allowed other chat services to plug in to it, so that you could have a single chat app for all your contacts, but open the individual apps for advanced features.

I recently started using a + in my email address to make use-specific aliases, so I can more easily filter content from them or see if they're leaking my email.

I signed up for a rewards program in person the other day and the strange look I got:

Do you have an account with us?

Idk

I can look up your email

Ok, it's [email protected]

I don't see it, would you like to make an account?

Yes, but instead of that email, make it [email protected]

Uhhhhh.... Ok....

Like "you don't have an account but you have an email specifically for our business? Sus AF"

But on the plus side, it's nice to learn those skills and have examples of them running to put on your resumé.

I'm clearly missing something important.

I don't get it

No, the dude is right - if they're moving "zero fast" upon exiting the portal, then that means they're either a 2 dimensional paste on the surface of the portal (dead), or they were entirely transported upon contact (cannot partially enter a portal) which is explicitly not how the portals in the game work.

This is because: if your hand goes into the portal and appears on the other side, it must move out of the way to make room for your arm. Because it is moving, it has velocity, which means it has momentum. If it doesn't move out of the way, then you're now 2 dimensional, and dead.

Also, in portal, energy is absolutely created. Every time you portal to a higher place, you gain potential energy that you didn't have before, without losing any of the other kinds of energy that you had.

I don't necessarily agree that they way overdo it, but I do agree those are all examples of bad UX design.

Right, but clearly this is a funny post using hyperbole. These aren't real UIs. They're comical exaggerations, and likewise we're making generalizations based on them.

Nobody actually makes UIs like this, but they're springboards for talking about actual problems.

This isn't a case of "well actually the last example was well researched and the others weren't".

The real question is what would society be like if water was replaced with mountain dew code red???
