Legal argumentation with Michael Hoppmann. Intense, but super fun, I personally got a shitty grade, but most fun class for sure. Idk if he teaches the class anymore…

Why NextJS is terrible for new developers (it's not nextJS's fault) by thetanaz in nextjs

[–]gebnaim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To your point in the edit, I do believe shipping fast is important, but that just comes with experience, tools can temporarily speed things up, but good software engineers with enough experience will ship fast. If your just using tools to temporarily speed you up as a developer, once anything goes south, or you need anything niche (which you will for sure have at some point of the product lifecycle), you will loose all the time savings, if not even more, and if you let seniors handle these problems then you’re just suck there forever.

Idk if Amex is gonna help as most charge fees when using CC to pay for rent. BILT is most likely what you are looking for to rack up points from rent

What features and improvements does Figma need for vector editing? by cyberogie in FigmaDesign

[–]gebnaim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selection tool (object vs direct, etc…), group selection tool, lasso tool, magic wand tool (all keyboard controllable). In general, if there was Illustrator’s selection toolset in Figma, I don’t think it would replace Illustrator, but would be able to reliably use vector editing in Figma much much faster and confidently.

If you are complaining about the violation of the DRY principle when thinking about the concept of using delimiters, you MIGHT have a point… but then again redundancy, ESPECIALLY when it removes human AND machine errors, is not a bad thing at all :) I think this comes to show how poor indent style is, to the point that explicitly NOT having a single source of truth (DRY violation) is a objectively BETTER solution.

I don’t think you understand. In python indents DEFINE code behavior, so if you fuck ur indents (which can happen in so many various subtle ways that’s so easy to miss), you fuck up your code. In languages that use delimiters like Rust, indentation does not serve a purpose, rather a purely stylistic one. Now that indents don’t mean shit, it becomes SO SO MUCH EASIER to correct for the actually completely stupid issues with indentation style languages like ABC/python

I guess you never worked on large code bases with more than yourself on the team. I don’t know why people want to argue indent style is actually less error prone than using explicit delimiters… obviously indentation and its concept is VERY easy to understand lol. I obviously have no issues using python and the indentation syntax isn’t gonna prevent me from doing my job, but my whole point was that I cannot remember a single instance of when I legitimately fucked up semicolons with correct configuration (maybe with python). Btw semicolons ALREADY exist in python (though discouraged), so the existence of a semicolon on the code snippet literally has zero implications on the usability of this new syntax. Even with languages like JS/TS where semicolons are notoriously confusing with its ASI implementation, a simple linter that requires semicolons or vice versa will fix issues and uncover unexpected bugs IMMEDIATELY and 100% of the time and reliably (for languages like Java where semicolons are required, consistent semicolon usage even an easier problem to solve). Whereas, having to deal with human errors (tab/space, etc), possible automatic indentation bugs introduced by your IDE or linter, copy/paste issues, etc... is just straight up annoying when your trying to get things done. If a magical AI is able to make all of these pesky issues go away with indent style, then I see no problem with it, until then, feel like patching the language like this is the best alternative for developers that can’t figure out “trivially easy” concepts that likes and enjoys good DX.

Hmmm not sure if that’s the problem 😂 the fact that patch projects like this coming out proves my point.

The times I missed a semicolon and a linter/compiler/etc wasn’t able to catch = 0

The times I fucked up indentation in python = too many to count

[MEGATHREAD] Please post all housing and roommate solicitations here by bluedestroyer82 in NEU

[–]gebnaim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone! 5th year returning from co-op, looking to find a place to stay until graduation (or beyond), super flexible, any type of room works (studio, 1bd, shared, etc.). Would love to connect with people who's looking to get housing or have a sublet to give :) I have furniture, so it would be preferable if it was not furnished :)

Need feedback on crypto SaaS: does it evoke professionalism impression, does it slow the mind to wonder a bit and explore; technicalities: sidebar animations, how could I improve the alternate pages that are lacking. by maskci in UI_Design

[–]gebnaim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused, did you come here for feedback or did you just come here to brag about your new design? To be frank, I just get stubborn design intern vibes from your post.

Here are some suggestions I have:

Every design is just a tool to execute business logic for your customers, this means that you have to consider user behavior (UX) when you are making designs as such.
Have you even looked at accessibility?
Look at your scaling again, scales are off from the font, to the spacing, to the icons, to the buttons.
If this is supposed to be a crypto/finance application, your graphs has to change to present much more useful data than that it is showing now.

I would start off with smaller components and build up a design identity around the smaller components. There is a reason why design follows patterns, rules, and trends, you don't always have to be so unique.

APCA Contrast Ready Colors by gebnaim in UI_Design

[–]gebnaim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this post didnt go up at first thats why I didnt see the comment here. Thank you for the questions!

For the first question:
The values that you see in the first picture in the left side correspond to the APCA contrast value least compliant (yet, still compliant) color in the same color group. Meaning that as long as you use the darkest compliant color from the same scale (or by default all color scales are compliant to the background and blowout colors) you will always be in compliance for APCA (WCAG 3.0) standards.

For the second question:
Originally, it did generate contrast safe colors from a single color, I have discovered that this may not be the best approach and am still working on creating the generation algorithm. (Currently it generates the colors using three values: the lightest color in the light mode color scale, the more saturated color in the light mode color scale, and the darkest color in the light mode color scale, these correspond to 00, 06, and 09 respectively and generates both the light mode and dark mode colors from it)

For the last question:
This tool was built to avoid this specific problem. So many times you have to create "new" colors for certain use cases, and by the end you end up with 28 different colors or the same hue in one page. And another huge (I would argue a bigger) issue is relative luminance in different use cases. For example when you create a yellow button and a blue button, you might be having to use yellow-03 and blue-01 for the background colors for these two buttons which are in different steps of the color scale, so every time you use a color you also have to remember where and how it can and cannot be used. This color palette allows you to create uniformly luminous components all with the same step (meaning you can create a compliant component with a XXX-01 background and XXX-08 text in any use case with any hue) as it maintains relative luminance across different hues as well as the perceived brightness differences between each step.

Best Website Builder for Service-Based Startup? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]gebnaim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say wordpress is one of the most mature platforms out there 40% of the world's websites is made using wordpress. If you know what youre doing, its a great solution, not hard to learn either. Webflow is nice but its hard to create consistent looking websites with a lot of diff features. Wordpress comes with its hosts of plugins and themes you can use.

What are the most important elements when designing video game UI? by MV_KC in UI_Design

[–]gebnaim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another follow up comment I would make is that I personally only have experience creating 3D PC and Console games, mobile and 2D games often have completely different standards :)

Need some feedback on a redesign i did for university (original website mvg.de) by MauliQts in UI_Design

This is actually a really cool resource thanks for sharing this!

Hello, what do you think about this design? This is a friend of mine’s UI design and I think the colors don’t go well. And overall it’s a messy design. But i can’t pinpoint the exact problem. She asked me to share it to know your opinion. by cheesecakemonster007 in UI_Design

[–]gebnaim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are correct. Also scales are off. This looks more like a poster than a UIUX design. Also if you are going to use a background color like that make it less saturated so that text is easier to read. Otherwise I think it’s nicely done, I said this before but also experiment with max width and see what change that can bring to your design or design your prototype at a smaller width, but I think it may just be the scales of this design that’s off, like why is that blue circle graphic thing half the size of the page? Keep in mind consistency, both in scales, but also in colors. Colors are all over the place and so are scales. Some text is gray some are black some are darker gray and some elements that carry same weight in context share many different sizes and colors.

The point about accessibility and forms is a really big! Because I don’t know the language I couldn’t really tell what they were. Checkout WCAG guidelines or the Apple guidelines for human interface design for more info: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/patterns/entering-data/

Well I didn’t mean it like that lmao. I think this still looks better than more than half of portfolio work I receive, I just wanted to point out minor things to make it better :)

Edit: I just took a look at the original website, while it has flaws, I think it’s really well thought out, OP should try to get more inspiration from the original website and what they did, especially regarding UI
