Agree that react isn’t the best implementation of the concept, both in terms of ergonomics and efficiency. But a react-like framework is still very much needed to create complex apps in the browser. So IMHO react is a solution to a very current problem, only not an ideal one.

hm. I can see that being true for venice, but what about barcelona and paris?

Tourism makes up like 13% of the Spanish economy.

Interesting data point! But don‘t you think Barcelona is capable of making money outside of tourism?

Sure, but I’d imagine that a large portion of that is spent around Barcelona.

Which is why I said most places. Some places are definitely able to live without tourism, especially the biggest cities. Most places have absolutely nothing to offer besides a beach and pubs to get drunk in.

What does this mean?

This is very clever! I’d been wondering about ways to replicate the effect on the web, and this is a neat way of doing it — great job!

Aside from that, this being the first time I’m seeing the effect live, I don’t care too much for it. I wonder whether it will get very popular.

Haha, nice screenshot. It even has Bryce 5 in the start menu!

Oh cool, I had forgotten about this project, thanks for posting it! This is the first time I’ve noticed that they had the perspective "glass table" style dock that Apple used a couple of years later in Mac OS X Leopard.

if you‘re really interested in doing that, i‘m certain you can with a bit of effort. There are plenty of docs and examples online.

> But I was surprised by his choice of Bang & Olufsen for music. For example, his Sennheiser headphones are mostly for hearing sound as it is, while B&O always tries to 'enhance' sound in their own way. It doesn’t match much.

I feel like I can identify with that. I have a pair of AKG studio headphones for recording music and listening for "mistakes" in mixes, but otherwise mostly B&O Hi-Fi speakers. To me, the sound is more "immersive" and emotionally captivating than e.g. studio monitors, and they still have lots of detail. (Plus, there’s the issue of them looking as nice as they do and being very easy to set up — it makes them easy to live with). Just my 2 cents.

Look, this is a losing argument. It’s ok if you prefer stuff like Zemeckis (who I might add, made a lot of melodramatic films himself) over international films, but that doesn’t them objectively better or more watchable for everybody.

I’m just going to leave this random link here: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls003889355/

Look at all those top non-American films on that list:

1. Once Upon a Time in America

2. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

3. The Great Dictator

4. Lord of the Rings

5. Chinatown

If there's one thing you can't associate Charlie Chaplin or Jack Nicholson with, it's Hollywood.

Number 9 on your list is famous non-Hollywood filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock.

> Look at all those top non-American films on that list:

That’s not a list of non-American films, it’s a list of non-American directors.

To answer what I assume is your every so snarkily delivered point: Yes, about a third of the directors on that list ended up successful in Hollywood. Does that mean international films are bad? Probably not! Does it maybe mean even Hollywood recognizes that there is a lot of international talent, and very good international films being made? Probably yes?

What’s the relevance of non-American directors?

Nicole Kidman and Chris Hemsworth, say, are as Hollywood as it gets.

Heck so is Salma Hayek.

The point is that intl can’t compete with Hollywood because Hollywood is widely appealing and relatively very good.

It doesn’t matter that Alfred Hitchcock became a naturalized US citizen.

It‘s actually the opposite: some hydrogen cars that use combustion exist, but they are really, really rare. Almost all hydrogen cars that are road legal use a fuel cell in combination with BEV parts to smooth out/extend power delivery.

Haha, Autoplay midis. I had forgotten that we used to do that.
