Thread Rules
1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution.
2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20)
3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible.
4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks.

If we're talking emerging fields in computer science don't forget cyber security, which is probably going to be one of the most important subjects of the 21st century

For UX, is having icons on buttons a good idea? Only some buttons? Do you always want text? Or can you avoid using text for very obvious buttons?

Particularly I'm thinking of mobile design, but other use cases would be interesting, too.
Can it be I stayed away too long? Did you miss these rhymes while I was gone?

Great idea, after I make my first trillion I'll give a billion to everyone on this thread too, haha.

Unfortunately it looks like works already well underway.

Depends. Just look at some examples. Mostly icons work if they are cleared and unambiguous.

You'll also always want to run ux tests with potential users when you're this uncertain. Just mock it up in balsamiq or so, and get ppl (ideally a representative panel, but probably friends and family) to test the UI.

When I was still doing such things I was trying to use icons whenever possible. Just make sure that you have tooltips for them so you don't confuse people.

Edit:

I think I might ask people over at unixstickers to make one like that

It's a mobile app. Things work slightly differently, because there are no tooltips. Also, buttons have to be big enough for fat fingers to press comfortably, so you can often fit some text on them. But it really depends. Hence, test with users.

What do you have to know for mobile development, out of interest? I'm assuming Java/objective c, but outside of that my knowledge of what goes into the standard phone app is limited.

That depends entierly on what you're planning to make. Java for android and objective c/swift for iOS is the standard, but for instance I'm currently making an AR application for iOS and haven't touched either of those (I'm instead using C# through Unity). It's also possible to write an entire app in html. It's all about the usecase. Often with mobile applications you'll want to show some kind of data, so knowledge of databases/cloud services/json/rest/whatever else you might need is a good idea as well.

Thanks. This is for a spare time app, so I'm not too worried about having ideal UX(i.e. won't spend a huge amount of time, or any money on it).

What skills do I need to write a machine learning program which outputs terrible smut? Middle age women gobble that shit up, and I think it can't be too hard to have a computer output 30 pages of formulaic sex en masse. Keep in mind that grammar and continuity issues are not a problem, and quality is even less of one.

If youre serious: grab a markov chain library, feed it some awful smut (several sources preferably) and let it run.

Pirating a few hundred amazon best seller books is the best way forward I think.

I'd go with a GAN and LSTM architecture. Eventually you should be able to input a noisy vector to the GAN and get a filthy-smut-frame and then some sort of LSTM to produce the next filthy-smut-frame. Keep predicting frames until you're too confused to be into the filthy smut.

I want middle age ladies with poor sex lives to be buying this shit though. Erotica is the largest selling market for literature, it's time to mass produce this with a computer.

They already write news articles with "AI", though I have no idea how exactly those work. Maybe it's just templates.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.
