@cliffdesignau @sarah_edo I wrote a whole series on CSS Tricks explaining exactly how to use CSS Grid in a way that will not break IE, and best of all, NO FALLBACK STYLES!

The modern grid code you write in your source code will work perfectly in IE with the help of @Autoprefixer.

The difference AI makes is that it levels the playing field. Before you needed a giant budget to produce a movie with realistic CGI. Now a single guy with a creative vision with enough money to afford the AI compute can now make their vision come to life.

As long as capitalism is allowed to do its job, the creative artistic visionary's work should be able to float to the top of the AI slop ocean.

Yeah sure, the giant studios can use AI to. It's the people that have the most creative ideas that resonate with people that will win the audience though.

Think about indie vs AAA at the moment. Claire Obscure was able to smash the game awards. Slay the Spire 2 destroyed Marathon in player numbers. While Concorde had all the budget in the world and got taken down in 2 weeks. Western AAA are not making things that resonate with players.

When the barrier to entry is reduced, the people that can create the thing that resonates most with people will win, not the people with the biggest budgets.

@Smoogally @Grummz Actually the light against the dark background is still realistic if the light is low wattage. It is still lighting up the surrounding wall somewhat in the RTX off version

[Dan Tonon @Daniel_Tonon]

@Smoogally @Grummz RTX on = more realistic and scientifically accurate to how light really works.

RTX off = more moody lighting, turn your brain off for a second and this is the one that *feels* better to look at.

The bright glowing light against the dark background looks cool even if unrealistic

@Smoogally @Grummz There is a big difference in contrast. RTX off has much darker blacks than RTX on. People instantly notice this whereas it took me 30s to a minute to notice the enhanced reflections. If RTX on had matching contrast I'd prefer that.

@visegrad24 This sounds like the reason Dexter became a serial killer.

@grok what are the chances the child will grow up to become a murderer when they are older?

[Dan Tonon @Daniel_Tonon]

@Grummz @FatherPhi Claude passes with flying colours.
Grok didn't explain the true reason why you need to take your car.
Claude understood the logic.
And that was using the old less powerful Sonnet 4.5 model as well!

@sveltejs @SvelteSociety the Svelte equivalent to React Headings. 🎉
No more having to wrestle with heading levels in Svelte!

@Ravious101 @cb_doge That option is extremely expensive. Way more expensive than to just stop the propaganda destroying the family and let people have kids the normal way.

Last time they made so many different machines with all different types of spec devices.

This time they are making a single device with just a single spec.

The old goal: make a device for every type of customer

The reality: No single device to market, so it confuses the hell out of everyone. No single identity.

This time they are making a single device with a single spec (excluding hard drive space) so the messaging and marketing is so much clearer this time around.

I am exactly their target market.
I am a console gamer who wants to do PC gaming in my living room. Even I didn't buy one of the old steam boxes despite being their exact target market.

I am super excited for this Steam Machine though. I'm going to preorder one as soon as I can.

I have been working with #zustand lately and really like the simple global state management that it provides.

At the same time, updating the state required a lot of repetitive boilerplate, so I made this:

And the performance is way better as well.

This graph is showing that es-toolkit is able to run millions more executions in the same amount of time compared to the lodash equivalent.

[Dan Tonon @Daniel_Tonon]

🪩 This utility library deserves highlighting.

📊 Massive performance and file size improvements compared to lodash. You can tell the creators have put a huge amount of effort into creating it.

Less than 5k weekly downloads on npm. Give it some love.

The bundle size is insanely small.

When importing 2 functions, my import cost plugin is telling me it is only 647 bytes or 385 bytes when G-zipped.

The more functions you import the larger the file size that gets reported.

[Dan Tonon @Daniel_Tonon]

@gater94631 @TommyBubble2 @LibertyCappy It's a simple order of operations puzzle

Multiply first:
25 x 0 = 0

Then add and subtract:
50 + 50 - 0 + 2 + 2 = 104

@Grummz @thegameawards @pride_site @StutteringCraig is running his own game awards ceremony called "the real game awards" for this exact reason.

@TheCriticalDri2 If you have ever been in a situation where you are working on one thing while refinancing another thing then 2 monitors will improve your efficiency.

Work while simultaneously referencing Instead of constantly switching.

Eg. You can type into a word doc while reading an article

@Grummz This is a good sign. The new creative director has been with Insomniac for over a decade. He was the creative director for Sunset Overdrive.

This is an interview with him talking about Sunset Overdrive:

I learned something new about TS today:

```ts
enum TypeName {
A,
B,
C,
}

TypeName.A // 0
TypeName.B // 1
TypeName.A // 2
```

TS enum auto increments a numerical value for you by default!
