Why did the Patriots go for the extra point instead of for a 2-point attempt? They are forced to get two more touchdowns now.

Wild if true.

That Ring commercial is scary and creepy af.

Pretty much all "successful" gen-AI use is gaming an existing economony by hitting a scale and speed that exploits its margins, but no one is watching/reading/playing/enjoying this stuff. It's just elbowing others out the way to catch the trickle-down out of the tech machine

I've been traveling for the past couple of days with little access to the phone. Did I miss anything important?

OH! Also, if you read these books and liked them (and this goes for any books you enjoy) leave reviews at bookseller sites, on sites like goodreads, tell friends! It's so hard to spread the word about stuff as a creator. I'm just a me.

Do you use zoom? OS level, browser level?

Throwback CSS Art: Motorola RAZR codepen.io/alvaromontor... #CSS #CSSArt #HTML #Codepen

The "Yes, I used AI to code the UI for me, how did you know?" UI.

I just took the time to add proper link previews for all of my blog posts. Here is an example. scriptraccoon.dev/blog/create-...

For people who think it's useless because we can simply define max/min-width are missing the point. It's not only about that specific case, but also about any combination that involves other values as well.

border-shape can handle both insets and outsets, so you can do effects like this chevron nav (corner-shape can't do both). This means you get a perfectly-wrapping focus ring without needing to manage z-index or having it partially covered due to overlap. Demo: codepen.io/una/pen/ByzY...

comiCSS #122: Astronaut comicss.art/comics/122/a... February 8, 2024 – This is one of my favorites cartoon in that series. The code is supposed to be based on Bowie's Space Oddity but, the more I read it, the less I see it 😅 #css #cartoon #webdev

I recall a meme someone posted earlier today but I can't find it anymore. It was something about a person developing a skill with AI, and another person replying something like "So you wrote Markdown" Then the first person replies something like "Not Markdown. It's AI coding.... Yes, it's Markdown"

Can you group these CSS colors in categories? comicss.art/games/8/

💡 CSS Tip! Have you ever tried to use "auto" within clamp()? Unfortunately, it doesn't work, but it's now possible using the new calc-size()! css-tip.com/clamp-auto/ The same applies to all the sizing values (min-content, max-content, fit-content, etc.)

I'll be speaking at DeveloperWeek in 2 weeks in San Jose. Any recommendations for that area?

It looks like I won't get some Bluesky features from now on.

A direction-aware and more realistic version. Demo: codepen.io/t_afif/full/... via @codepen.io

It's funny how many conversations about current "trends" in technology start with "leaving aside [list of terrible really bad awful things], XYZ is really good for..." (a prefix that eventually is obviated). People being ok with that doesn't say many good things about the state of our industry.

Firefox: Of course I support `transition-behavior: allow-discrete`! Also Firefox: What do you mean `display`?

New "cartoon" tomorrow. But if you are curious, you can see it early on Patreon (for free): www.patreon.com/posts/149411...

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day. Remember: if Phil sees his shadow, that's 6 more Tailwind classes (in every HTML tag, in every page) #css #cssArt #joke #groundhogDay

The cool thing about learning to play songs that you love is that you get to fall in love with them even more. Listening is great, but playing hits different.

As explained in the Patreon link, I used an old drawing of a beaver, and limited my changes to the CSS (not ideal, but beats having to code the whole thing from scratch). It's interesting how much my CSS Art style has changed in 6 years: smaller creature, rounded shapes, more colors and shadows...

Until better support for border-shape, here is my implementation using old tricks to create the border! Demo: codepen.io/t_afif/pen/v... via @codepen.io You can find a lot of tooltips with borders from my online collection: css-generators.com/tooltip-spee...

comiCSS #121: Basketball Player comicss.art/comics/121/b... February 7, 2024 – Some of the properties I used for this cartoon were a bit obscure, but it's not always easy finding common ones. In the live version, the ball spins all the time. #css #webdev #cartoon

Biblically accurate CSS.

comiCSS #120: Dictator comicss.art/comics/120/d... February 6, 2024 – This cartoon is a bit darker than the others in the series, but I like it. I tried to convey an idea of confusion and control, that's why everything has !important and I used an overcomplicated nested rule. #css #cartoon #webdev

Hey folks 👋 I'd like to make another diorama 😁 , this time inspired by Japan (anime style) Here are some assets I have modeled #html #css #javascript #threejs

Yesterday, I woke up feeling like a train had hit me. Today, I woke up feeling like a car had hit me. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll wake up feeling like the only thing that hit me was the pillow.

My most hearted @codepen.io demos of '26: ✨ Pure #CSS #3D animated carousel codepen.io/thebabydino/... ✨ Scatter & pixelate CSS gradient codepen.io/thebabydino/... ✨ Cards with concave rounding on irregular grid codepen.io/thebabydino/... First two need very little code & are heavily commented.

New blog post: CSS Optical Illusions alvaromontoro.com/blog/68091/c... A collection of 50+ optical illusions built with CSS and HTML (mostly CSS). Each demo includes a short explanation of the visual effect, and some include a note about their implementation. #CSS #HTML #WebDev #OpticalIllusions

Resource heavy data centres running models that generated CSAM, assisted suicides and are all trained on stolen material. The boat is already far too long gone for this type of groupthink bullshit. Mozilla could have fully revived themselves in being opposition to AI, but another foot gun it is.

comiCSS #119: Winner comicss.art/comics/119/w... February 5, 2024 – This slightly animated cartoon continued the series for the 2nd anniversary. The trophy is actual `gold` color but the medal is `orange` so there would be enough contrast with the shirt. #html #css #cartoon #cssArt #webdev
