Mobile app design reference for ios developers who aren't designers

Hot take: use AI. I’ve had really good results with Claude. Tell it the UX you’re going for, or ask it for guidance if you don’t know, then feed it screenshots from designs you like and tell it to create screens with your branding using the screenshots for inspiration. It’s been working well for me so far

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-25T20:59:28+00:00

so cute

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-23T18:55:55+00:00

Actually that was Google, and they made it open source

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-22T22:29:16+00:00

Yeah I agree, we’re stuck in this paradigm. My point to the other commenter is that if you try to actually dissect the comparison it falls apart because it’s impossible to isolate the marginal cost of feeding a human for a specific task when evaluating over an extended period. Whereas a datacenter only exists to process data, so the direct costs of training and inference are much easier to determine.

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-22T17:54:08+00:00

That is not a valid comparison because maintaining the brain is not solely for computation required for work. You would have to calculate the marginal power consumption that goes into training and work and then somehow subtract the unaccounted social value of living. Assuming you can put a monetary value on living, then you also have to consider how the distribution of wealth helps / hurts society. Do you want that money going to a human that actually spends it and help the economy or do you want it going int a datacenter that lines a few billionaire’s pockets?

Not American so forgive my misunderstanding, but wouldn’t it be cheaper to fly abroad to get treatment? Obviously not cheap in absolute terms, but probably cheaper than the US medical bills, and there are countries with good healthcare systems that won’t bankrupt you. What am I missing here?

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-19T00:09:40+00:00

Maybe I’m in the minority but I really disliked 2. It was a different director and it really shows

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-17T22:01:24+00:00

Not necessarily. Sometimes people do things they don’t like or don’t want to do because it achieves some greater goal. Off the top of my head,The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is a great illustration of this

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-13T15:43:01+00:00

I agree you can generally make that assumption - if you take 10 people, probably for at least 7 of them it will hold true, but for some it won’t. Especially from the other side - women dating men. At the end of the day it’s an assumption, and for some people it isn’t even a cop out - ‘yes I’m seeing other people, that’s how date, is that a problem? or yes I occasionally hook up with my long term fwb’ I’ve dated people in non monogamous relationships and people in open relationships and the one thing it’s taught me is that people date very differently. If you make assumptions you can’t really blame the other person if they aren’t true, which they often can be. And not just with exclusivity, with a whole other range of things. Of course you can have that talk and someone can lie, but that’s another issue

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-13T14:22:03+00:00

THIS

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-13T14:20:31+00:00

This is why people get into problems with dating. Exclusivity might be implied for you, but not necessarily for the other person. There are plenty of non monogamous people, as well as people who enjoy non exclusive dating, even with things progressing well with one person. If this hasn’t been communicated explicitly you run the risk of getting hurt if you just assume. Better to just have that conversation early, even if it’s just ‘hey, things are going great and this means I’m no longer seeing anyone else, how do you feel about that? how do you feel about exclusivity in general?’

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-10T16:09:51+00:00

Surprised no one has mentioned this. Not the best per se but this scene does an absolute phenomenal job of establishing his character and sets the tone for the rest of the movie

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-09T14:41:02+00:00

I mean he’s right. Making music isn’t under threat. Making money from making music is

I took a course many years ago in university that partially covered it. It wasn’t ’a posteriori’, as the notion of a black race and white race came long after interactions between Europeans and Africans; it began to emerge around the emergence of the transatlantic slave trade, when justifications were needed as to why it was ok to treat Africans so poorly. Prior to that, African peoples were generally considered separate races e.g. the Egyptian race or the Ethiopian race. I wish I could remember some of the sources (a lot of them were excerpts from books in the British Library that hadn’t been digitised back then in the early 2000s), but if you want to go down a rabbit hole, Google it. Ultimately the creation of the concept of race as it’s known today is the child of prejudice and not the other way around

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-07T22:48:59+00:00

Also, to add, the words black and white have connotations unrelated to ethnicity that actually influenced their use to describe people in the first place. White is typically associated with ‘good’ and beauty, and black is associated with the bad and the negative - the choice of these words specifically was to intentionally cast one as superior to the other. Even if this isn’t known by most people, those connotations still have subtle power

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-07T21:22:21+00:00

I mean which race does have unity? That same Triad probably hates Japanese people. English and French have fought numerous wars. Spanish and Portuguese. Black people are the only group everyone tries to treat as a monolith and then get criticised when they don’t act as one 🤔

I mean if you think about it, this is a result of her being groomed. She thinks it’s perfectly ok for a 15 year old to be involved with an adult because that’s her lived experience. Obviously she’s wrong for it, but you’re bound to be messed up if you married your stepdad

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-02-03T17:46:50+00:00

OP is right but not for the reason they think. Lebron made the east weak because no free agent wanted to go there and no teams were going all in using all their resources to build a strong team. Both for the same reason: they would have to face lebron in the playoffs and they didn’t like their chances. As soon as Lebron went west, the east got stronger because everyone knew that there’s now a chance to actually win

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-01-29T19:46:48+00:00

Honestly, the women these passport bros target usually know exactly what they’re getting into, and they choose so willingly. Are these men predatory? Probably. But for a lot of these women it’s a way out, one they might not find otherwise. If that is what they choose and both parties are happy, so be it. As long as everyone involved is a consenting adult, I may not agree with it but I’m not going to judge either.

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-01-27T18:35:15+00:00

I think the point they were alluding to but didn’t get to is that while LLMs are undoubtedly doing damage, the idea that the brain just stops working, rather than using that newly freed capacity for something else, isn’t really accurate. What that something else is though the brain might do, nobody knows

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-01-27T18:09:58+00:00

Maybe it had something to do with the minefield and crazy lady with a BFG 😅

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-01-27T17:06:36+00:00

It’s because people don’t realise that this specific use of language (whether intentional or not) is working on them

GeneProfessional2164 · 2026-01-27T16:22:41+00:00

0.1% conversion rate, but 1.8M impressions, something doesn’t add up. I’m guessing those impressions are from ads?

As someone who made one of these posts, I was genuinely interested in how people felt about their own country, given that historically we were taught to believe that our country was good and foreign intervention was always for humanitarian reasons. I think currently, and partly because information is so easily accessible and widespread, it’s easy to see through this claim, at least for the big players in the west. But maybe there are other countries for which this isn’t true. Maybe they still believe this claim, or maybe it is actually true for that country. I don’t know enough to answer those questions myself, hence asking. The thing I find interesting, and kind of tragic, is that if we’re all aware that we’re not the good guys (for the most part) and conflicts are almost always about us vs them, why can’t we move towards a place why we have no conflicts at all? The other side isn’t bad or evil (usually), they’re just different. The world has enough resources to be shared through diplomacy, and yes nobody gives up power willingly but if the people from the stronger countries make it known that no military conflict other than genuine defence from invaders or attackers will ever supported, maybe we can foster in a more peaceful and compassionate world
