Designing for public transit and cycling benefits far more people than designing exclusively for single passenger cars.

Who do you think are on bikes and in buses?

The pathfinding section reminded me that there's a YouTube steamer, Marcel Vos, who goes into a deep dive of how the pathfinding works.

He has lots of videos that are deep dives into how RCT works and how things are implemented!

Such a great game! I got as far as implementing all the CPU instructions and can't wait to get back into it!

Probably my favorite description so far

https://anycrap.shop/product/broken-clock-that-s-right-thric...

This Broken Clock boasts an unconventional timekeeping mechanism where hands randomly align at correct times thrice daily. It may seem broken, but somehow its fractured gears grant fleeting moments of accuracy amidst disarrayed hours. Its aesthetic appeal lies in the subtle ticking sounds between erratic movements.

Despite its unpredictable behavior, the clock has gained cult following among those seeking respite from precision schedules. For those willing to tolerate chaos, this peculiar timepiece offers three reassuring glances at reality within every 24-hour cycle.

It only fits because if you consider Android a nerd OS (I suspect this user does) then your perception will be that everything Android does is for nerds.

It doesn't prove anything at all and Apple definitely did not make watches fashionable in 2015.

> Sometimes I wonder if I live in the same world than some of the commenters here.

I'm wondering the same thing.

You are arguing with people because you think Apple invented wearing watches as a fashion statement with their release of the Apple watch in 2015.

> And it was seen as a toy for geeks and software developers who think t-shirts are an acceptable office attire despite being the most watch-like of the smartwatches.

Source please! That's not how I remember the release, I recall it was very well recieved and sold out everywhere with the battery life being the biggest complaint.

> I would never have gone to the office wearing a moto360. People would have given me funny looks all day. Meanwhile you can wear an Apple Watch with your suit and everyone finds that acceptable.

I doubt you'll find a source, this entire paragraph is you projecting your own insecurities onto everyone else. Your opinion is not the general consensus or a source for anything so find a reliable 3rd party to back you up that isn't a random blogpost by Joe nobody.

The Moto 360 was out before the Apple watch. I know that for a fact because I got one on the release date. They were pretty hard to find when they came out.

Apple was late to the game with smartwatches and didn't do a single thing to convince people to wear them.

You left out important context:

> for the enthusiastic, apple is going to make it as low-friction as possible.

Going to a store is not low friction for an enthusiast. We've already established that the price tag shuts out all but the enthusiast.

Apple enthusiasts will do anything to buy Apple products.

All Youtube has to do is review one of the dislike reasons and if it's not true ignore the rest of the dislikes for that reason. If a bunch of people dislike it because the title doesn't match the content, but it does match, ignore other dislikes for that cite that reason.

I'm very interested in this as well. When I clear cookies and go to YouTube I always see crap for kids, Mr. Beast, and lots of feel-good stuff. The 3 front page recommendations right now on a fresh browser are about a shelter dog getting adopted, a movie called The Policeman, and a video with different versions of the song "one, two, buckle my shoe".

I experience this with Twitter too - people complain their default twitter is alt-right, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, etc. and I don't see any of that in a fresh browser. It makes me wonder what people are watching and visiting so much that the algorithms throw alt-right stuff in their faces with such regularity. I follow Elon Musk and all the other expected tech people a tech person would follow and I don't experience this version of Twitter and Youtube everyone seems to complain about.
