http://csiss.org/classics/content/99 George Zipf: George Zipf: Human Behavior and the Principle of Least Effort By Benjamin Sprague [...] Zipf refers to usability expert Jakob Nielsen who devised a law of user experience that echoes this sentiment: "Users spend most of their time on other sites. This means that users prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know." Zipf identifies this to say that people choose their entire behavior based on the minimization of effort. More specifically, behavior related to a human beings need and desire to, in the course of daily life, move around his/her environment, or activity space. Basically Zipf, determined peoples behavior in space based on the minimization of effort. https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Theo_de_Raadt#Theo_vs._DJB https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Daniel_J._Bernstein Was wonderfully amusing to watch, like a head-on train collision in slow motion.
