Although not exactly generic shopping streets you describe, but “anonymous” places also have been theorized and dubbed a “non-place” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-place)
it isn't mentioned anywhere but it's chromium based — which is of course is practical, but I wonder how dependent on Google that makes them and other browsers using it
Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but why is this practical? It’s a Mac app, WebKit already ships with the OS and can be easily used with WKWebView. Bundling Chrome is a much bigger app size and much more complicated build setup than importing a class that ships with Cocoa.
Practical because they're also working on adding Windows support. Although it sounds like they're writing everything in SwiftUI and trying to port most of the Swift code to run on Windows? So not necessarily the most practical approach there either.
Not particularly. Almost every browser out there other than Firefox and Safari are using Chromium, Including Edge, Opera, Brave, and Vivaldi, so there's a large enough base that a fork could conceivably be created and maintained if needed.
If you wanted to try out such an experience, any recommendations on what makes a good vs. a bad place ? A lot of the websites I found are not very engaging to say the least
After reading the original article I did a quick web search and was surprised to find many places offering isolation tanks or rooms. Reading through the Yelp reviews of many of these places was interesting and you quickly spot trends in treatment by staff, cleanliness, facility layout, etc. I always make sure to read the negative reviews too - even though (unless a place is truly awful) they tend to be dominated by people with self-inflicted problems they can still be a great guide of what not to do :)
You have this nice simulator that he actually contributed to that shows this connection between meshes and folded origami! https://origamisimulator.org
Along these lines, there is an excellent book by John Kenneth Galbraith - Money: Whence It Came, Where It Went (1975) that covers the whole history of money, with much details & wit
