There are other countries outside of United States. And the book curation is up to the user.

Almost all of the examples on the website are ridiculous, which in turn makes your project look bad.

Imho you should wipe them, populate it with some realistic small scale ideas and be much more strict in review, at least for now.

That’s what I think too, but we should actively go against such culture here because hn is not reddit.

I really don't understand what's interesting about this test and why is it always on top.

Yet somehow all the government/EU-institution pages I visit also choose to track and throw the popup.

Watching the platform state of the union it really seems we are getting a snow leopard right after the lion. Fingers crossed…

I think it looks good (really good in some usecases!), but I don't like the problems it causes.

- accessibility (hopefully improved soon)

- floating buttons over content that doesnt need to scroll

- switching light/dark when scrolling over content with borderline brightness

I'm very happy with their announcements

- fixing the main liquid glass issues (transparency, toolbars, window corners)

- rewriting OS components to work better

- fixing the ever annoying "The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time" problem (we knew this was going to happen by following the Swift project, but still)

Honestly, we really really needed a year with less features and more work put towards improving the platforms.

To me it got boring quite quickly. But maybe so would Sim City at my current age, I can't know.

I've commented this many times, but I definitely want to see more isometric grid games like SC3k, RC2 or TTD.

They were less-realistic, yes, but is so pleasant how everything ties together and you can neatly fill out the whole map.

Meanwhile, while I like Cities Skylines or Planet Zoo, it is always incredibly awkward to build roads and paths to the point where I find it frustrating.

The goalposts are Euler level not the current model capabilities.

This might come as a surprise to some, but most people sitting in a moving vehicle are not driving. Trains and buses exist. Even in cars you usually have multiple seats and the ability to transport passengers.

Also, in what country is it legal to drive around with a VR headset?

It's a shame Apple removed the screen reader announcements ("the Apple logo") from the youtube version of the commercial.

Those made the ad stand out in my opinion.

The design is good. It is unoriginal but not every project needs to use an original design.
