"They're absolutely essential to the software dev community" Posting a question there has been pointless for years. I also dont think I've seen any answers there via duckduckgo useful to me in a long time. I dont think

* Mario Maker uses a touch screen. Ok, well 'street fighter', you need to input very complex and precise controls. Or pokemon on the gameboy, or a JRPG with its labyrinthine menus and options + 100's of complex difficult game

Just something like a Blackberry is decent.. Where you have a screen, that you look at, and buttons that you press with your fingers. Not a screen that you cover with your fingers and also a haptically featureless screen that you press with

I would also add that from a UX perspective they utterly suck. Many task that are possible with a mouse / keyboard setup are impossible on a smartphone, and what is possible is much much slower and less precise. I think its clear the

This is getting into the realm of philosophy. According to Stoicism, one has no control over others thoughts. I personally think thats a quite valid view. I would evaluate a message from a manager by practical rubrics. 1. Clarity. 2. Compre

I think writing well is a skill that is in very short supply all around, even in writing-focused areas like journalism. A major culprit in this, in my opinion, is how writing is taught in college. It's very common for students to be ta

Agreed. I think the internet needs a 'math as code' wiki site. Math is so easy! and its a joy to work with when programming, but the way its written, the notation, is often baffling to me.

Based on the title, I thought this was gonna be about how the entire UX design of smartphones is utter garbage, and hence they cant be used to do most kinds of work, and the stuff that is possible is much slower / error prone. Imo th
