This was my first thought. It’s called Sketch Ocean and it’s in a teamLab experience!

You’re implying that you should never invent new tools. But every tool was a new invention upon its creation. Also, all software is an “engine” for an “engine”.

React is popular for a reason. Declarative UI is a million times easier to implement and maintain. If a total newbie had to learn UIKit and SwiftUI then pick one, they'd pick SwiftUI 100% of the time.

A lot of these pages look movie related, so it’s likely people looking stuff up on their phones after watching something.

Hasn't autopilot had "auto-land" technology for many years now? How is Garmin's different?
Re:Vancouver Zoning Map on Friday April 08, 2022 @04:02PM (#30961847)
It’s nice that Vancouver doesn’t have a highway cutting it in half like Seattle, but it also takes longer to drive anywhere.

From my experience, many of its neighborhoods/dining districts feel really cold/loud/unwalkable due to the high speed 4 lane roads everywhere. Traffic noise still seems like a huge issue, trying to parallel park when cars are buzzing by at 50 mph isn’t fun, and the unprotected left turns are pretty gnarly.

Re:Elon Musk to join Twitter’s board of directors on Tuesday April 05, 2022 @11:55AM (#30920584)
So you think he got 3 lucky breaks when with electronic payments, electric cars, and space rockets, and Twitter is too hard?
Have you ever gotten a job from just showing off your open source work, though?
Re:Adult Obesity Facts on Friday August 27, 2021 @12:51PM (#28330112)
I'd venture to guess that a key difference is that most Black adults grew up in America while most Asian adults immigrated here, maintaining their previous culture's eating and exercise habits.

It shouldn’t be surprising. That’s how you steal customers.
Non-engineering stuff, typically. Cafeteria workers, security, etc.
Well, 10% is great, and he's diversified. I don't think it's that cut and dry.
In hindsight, was it worth it compared to just investing all that money into the S&P500?

Re:iPad Pro M1 on Tuesday April 20, 2021 @02:08PM (#26878429)
I agree. Are there really that many people using iPads for high performance video/audio editing? Everyone I know uses their iPad as a video player or recipe displayer.

Yeah. I really wish they went with 27” if they’re going to pick just one.
Re:Apple TV 4K Gets A12 Bionic on Tuesday April 20, 2021 @01:46PM (#26877960)
Yup - a remote with actual directional buttons was my biggest desire, so I’m really happy. I hate the touch scrolling of the previous Apple TV remote with a passion. It was so imprecise.
Re:Bike Theft Map on Friday April 09, 2021 @03:52PM (#26755259)
He certainly didn't steal 3000 bikes at one time. If a person steals 3000 TVs each from a different store, should he only serve time for one?
Re:Bike Theft Map on Friday April 09, 2021 @01:47PM (#26753644)
How in the world did he only serve 16 months in jail for stealing that many bikes?

A lot of people watch YouTube using their smart TVs.

If any Google Photos product people are here...

Since you're ending free unlimited photo storage, I badly want a feature that automatically finds all groupings of similar photos and deletes all but the best one (least blurry, most smiles, whatever you decide). Whenever I take photos, I tend to spam the shutter button, so I end up with 3+ photos of anything and everything. I could stay on Google Photos for many, many more years if I had this auto clean up capability.

The Google Photos iOS app just uploads all photos that my iPhone takes automatically, regardless of album. Yours doesn't?
