I keep wanting to like and use F#.

I keep seeing F# be leaky layers of abstraction epic fails.

I keep giving up and going running back home to momma / java / javascript now.

I think I despise any computer system that is not case sensitive on both read and write. (I mean, unless using a regex(p) or whatever.)

How it came to be that the space bar is used for more than one thing in a browser I dunno, but it sure does kill me. Mostly I just want it to be a space bar. Secondarily I want it to scroll the page. Anything else is just plain dumb wrong, like having it open/close a widget I just clicked on on a page.

There is no justice in the world when it comes to UX. (There's also not really any fundamental justice in the world at all, of course, and that's a much more deeply disturbing sad thing about human nature, but it doesn't seem like I can do anything about that.) If there were any justice in the world when it came to UX, Nintendo would have gone out of business as soon as they released the Wii or the 3DS.

Skylanders is a piece of shit. I really do not get the popularity at all. (Ditto the Marvel/Disney universe stuff.)

The world of home a/v receivers is a wonderfully rich horrible hateful bad evil dumb broken idiotic backwards dumbass UX.

• The UI of all receivers is, apparently, like dog barf. And no I don't really want to have to dedicate my cell phone to fixing their UI problems so "having an app" doesn't satisfy me.
• Simple things like remembering that I had "night mode" audio compression on.
• Advanced features like auto diagnostics that show me what part of the audio/video path is failing. Both in terms of standard crap like HDMI handshake failures, and in terms of long-term out-of-warranty internal hardware failure.
• The front panel is just pathetic. It should be a full on bitmapped graphic display.
• Physically I haven't really seen a receiver that isn't sorta just gross or lame. They are neither something that is cool enough from a technonerd perspective, nor attractive enough from a tasteful home decor perspective.
• The rear panel hookups are always a nightmare once you've ever installed things. Just physically being able to get back and change things.
• Rear panels are often not designed well e.g. on Denons it looks like often the component/composite video input is not physically lined up with the matching audio. So that's a bloody nightmare if you are hanging over the back of the equipment trying to read the labels upside down.
• Anybody who uses an intense blue LED (this includes things like Panasonic M43 cameras' "iA" button) deserves to be taken out and shot. If you ask me.
• The fundamental problem in my mind is that a lot of receiver UX fails to make the abstractions make sense. Instead of manually digging through menus and manually mapping inputs and outputs, the UI should more automatically help map things; should also show things visually e.g. (strawperson idea) show a vertically scrolling list of inputs on the left, and a vertically scrolling list of outputs on the right and let you match them up.

There doesn't seem to me to be enough economic punishment in our socioeconomic system for bad UX. For example, Barnes & Noble's web site doesn't tell me explicitly if something is/not available at the local store. I apparently have to infer it from the totality of what is displayed as the details e.g. it says I can have it sent to me by Thursday or whatever so I guess it is not in stock locally. Not that it even shows me if it knows what my local store is. Or would let me find out if the item is in stock at any other store locations around me. Just utterly nuts.
