Editing Talk:2141: UI vs UX

<!--Please sign your posts with ~~~~ and don't delete this text. New comments should be added at the bottom.-->

The comic as a whole is making fun of how meta software developers get about the user experience, seeking to name all the different types of interactions a user can have with an app or webpage. 
This comic is massive for me on my desktop (chrome); I wonder if this is a joke about bad UX or if it is a genuine error? [[User:Fwacer|Fwacer]] ([[User talk:Fwacer|talk]]) 18:50, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

:It's not this big on xkcd.com. Did it start this big and got fixed on the original site? Update: replaced with the image from xkcd.com which was much smaller. [[User:Cgrimes85|Cgrimes85]] ([[User talk:Cgrimes85|talk]]) 18:55, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

::Looks like it is fixed now, but yes it was also that big on xkcd.com initially. [[User:Fwacer|Fwacer]] ([[User talk:Fwacer|talk]]) 19:19, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

To me, it comes across as a hyperbolic play on the common confusion between the meaning of UI and UX. [https://twitter.com/sdw/status/709853249407361024] [[User:Ahiijny|Ahiijny]] ([[User talk:Ahiijny|talk]]) 19:06, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

It makes sense that it would be alpha and omega, but I originally thought it was the "proportional" symbol. I only ask because alpha is lowercase and omega is uppercase, although perhaps this was to avoid confusion with the Latin "A".

:Concerning the lowercase/uppercase difference, since alpha is the beginning and omega is the end, then consider that in the beginning we are born little and then grow up - we start out as lowercase and end up as uppercase.

This is a joke on integration, yes?[[Special:Contributions/172.69.68.129|172.69.68.129]] 19:33, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice" -- I guess the big in the comic being about the arc of the moral universe can reference the fight against segregation and thus for integration...
:: I meant mathematical integration...

I'm happy with the explanations I just added for everything but "Life's experience of time" -- does anyone know what that phrase is from? [[Special:Contributions/172.68.133.54|172.68.133.54]] 05:48, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

On what level are those idiots who say "user doesn't need this setting, it would only confuse him"? -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 22:20, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
:UG<sub>2</sub> - user second-guessing. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.142.197|172.68.142.197]] 06:27, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Why has Randall chosen this particular set of characters?  Why Z? Why alpha and omega - the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, used in the bible quote "i am the alpha and omega" i.e. the beginning and the end, but what link with the subject?  Or is it just a sequence of increasingly improbable characters from latin through Greek, then glyphs then unprintable glyphs..?

:UX comes after UI in the alphabet, and so Randall first extended that to the last letter of the Latin alphabet, then Greek. Infinity then also makes sense, but I don't know about the bullet. [[User:Oliphaunt|Oliphaunt]] ([[User talk:Oliphaunt|talk]]) 09:08, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
:Other than being the last letter of the Latin alphabet, I can't come up with any other meaning for "Z" to represent something in psychology. As for the remaining symbols, I think alpha might represent the "a" in actualization or the beginning of the user's awareness or life because alpha represents beginning.  Since Omega means the end, this likely represents the end of the user's life, which determines the length of the arc of their life. I believe the infinity symbol is a reference to how time looks to the typical life of a user, since it extends well before and after a user's life. Lastly, I think the black circle might represent a view of morality as either a black hole or a dark subject. This is just my impressions.

My initial thought was that the black circle represents the "black point message" that crashed apps like whatsapp a while ago.  I never saw it personally but Tom Scott did a video on it last year.  It might be a commentary on how understanding of the universe's moral arc could be considered untouchable/unobtainable. [[User:Blik|Blik]] ([[User talk:Blik|talk]]) 14:30, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
:I took the black circle as a Black Hole - that changes the arc of everything in the Universe! [[User:John.Adriaan|John.Adriaan]] ([[User talk:John.Adriaan|talk]]) 02:14, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Hmm.  It looks like UY got skipped.  The study of the user's motivation and goals.  Like UI and UX, it's a real thing.  But that's really the job of concept or marketing.

Oftentimes, people with shoulder pain [https://supplementdiary.com/pain-absolve-rx-review/ Pain Absolve-RX ] use anti-inflammatory medicines or paracetamol. Some use heat and ice to minimize the pain. Cortisone is also used to reduce inflammation. There are some cases that surgery may be necessitated if tendons or ligaments are affected. Standard treatment methods have their drawbacks too. Some simply perform to treat symptoms, while some leave negative effects that only aggravate the problem. Surgery, particularly, does not promise relief and is also hazardous. There are other options offered that are safe and even make highly effective treatments for shoulder pain. For people who are searching for an alternative to cortisone, people can check out Sarapin. Or if they opt for holistic treatment, chiropractic is the way to go.

Sarapin is a pitcher plant distillate that possesses the effectiveness of cortisone but has a lot fewer negative effects. It works by stopping the pain signals in the nerves without affecting the other nerve functions or motor functions. Earlier study showed that this natural extract can lessen pain without any changes in skin sensations and it does not affect motor nerves. In toxicity assessments, it was seen to be of no hazard.

Going to your chiropractor is another solution. Chiropractic also can be really helpful in easing shoulder problems. Not only spinal problems can chiropractors address, they are also qualified to correct extremities which include shoulders. A misaligned shoulder joint is a typical reason why people experience shoulder pain. The muscles and ligaments are pulled differently, resulting in muscle spasms, inflammation, and pain. Treating the shoulder along with neck and upper back can help minimize the pain. Complemented with ergonomics and shoulder exercises will give more desirable outcomes.

CFA supplements also reduce inflammation [https://untappedreviews.com/pain-absolve-rx-review/ Pain Absolve-RX ] associated with chronic joint pain. When used alone or combined with prescription therapies, Cetylated Fatty Acids show a marked improvement compared to non-CFA treatment. In fact, many patients choose to get rid of their prescription pain killers and replace them with CFA supplements. Whether used alone or in combination with another therapy, Cetylated Fatty Acids has been shown to provide relief in 100% of the people who used them in clinical trials. Another benefit for using Cetylated Fatty Acids is that there have been no reported side effects when used alone or in combination with another treatment. Because CFA supplements are available over the counter, you won't need to see a doctor to take advantage of Cetylated Fatty Acids.

At any one point in time, approximately 1% of the US population is dealing with sciatic pain from a herniated disc. This pain tends to be severe and burning and goes down one of the lower extremities as a result of a pinched nerve. Typically this is from a herniated disc and sometimes results in a need for surgery. What are the steps involved with achieving pain relief and avoiding surgery? The first step is not to panic. It's a very common situation and if you talk to any of your friends they probably have been dealing with a similar issue at some point in life. So the first thing to do is to understand that it's very common.

The second thing to do is to make an appointment with the chiropractor or a pain management doctor to get some pain relief. Chiropractic treatment has been shown to work well for acute back pain as well as sciatica. Treatments may include spinal manipulation or spinal decompression therapy as well along with physical rehabilitation exercises. This may help substantially, but remember that chiropractors do not prescribe medication. So at some point with typically bad symptoms from sciatica the patient will need medication. Either your family practice doctor or pain management doctor can prescribe these which may include muscle relaxers and possibly a short term course of narcotic medication.
