Computer scientist and user interface guru Larry Tesler, a key figure at Apple during its early years, died Monday at the age of 74, according to Apple Insider. Tesler pioneered the concept of "cut-copy-paste" during his time at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in the 1970s. In the following two decades at Apple, he would be deeply involved in the user interface design of the Lisa, Macintosh and Newton, a precursor to the iPhone.

All the stuff that seems so intuitive. Somebody still had to think of it the first time.

His last name sounds like a redneck describing a Tesla.

When I was 23 years old and going through my first big four busy season I ran my finger across some figures on the hardcopy page in front of me, moved my curser to a new cell, and pressed control v. I was a bit shocked when nothing appeared in the cell. Then I realized what I had just done. At that point I knew it was time to go home for the night.

RIP to that great man.

Probably.

Tesler was also the founder of r/jokes.
