I got it and absolutely love it. Takes a bit of getting used to of course, but after being in my kitchen I expect all taps to work like this. The biggest downside is that visitors will be confused why the water doesn’t run (the physical tap

Ultimately if this stuff is actually intelligent it should be using the same sources of information that we intelligent beings use. Feels silly to have to have to jump through all these hoops to make it work today

The main Raycaster class in three.js (which you can access / use via refs from Threlte) isn't tied to the view, but can be used to cast from any point. It might get computationally expensive to point that raycaster in many directi

An issue with this is that the print CSS of most websites is an afterthought. While it’s possible to alter the design with @media print as well as the page breaks, few websites do this. You are often left with broken layouts, empty pages, o

One thing that always surprised me about SVB was how bad the UX/UI of the site was, for a company so close to all these companies at the forefront of web technology. The signup process was abysmal.
