Some of them, I should have been to the free throw line. Some I missed. Some of them I made. I can't change it. I just got to live with it.

I hang a right onto the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail in the hills north of Santa Barbara, and the 2026 Lucid Gravity seems to defy physics. My hands grip the steering wheel as the vehicle carves country roads with a slalom skier's dexterity and the gusto of a much smaller car. Not bad for the seven-seat, all-electric SUV, which handily wins Esquire's Car of the Year.

The main goal of the site is to help players: Calculate forging probabilities based on different ore combinations Optimize their inventory for tank/damage builds Preview weapon and armor stats before committing resources From a web dev perspective, this project has a few interesting challenges: Real-time probability calculations with many different ores and multipliers Keeping the UI clear and readable even when there's a lot of data on screen Performance on lower-end devices (mobile, older laptops)

For the purposes of this look at the game I replayed through the first two major sections: the tutorial mission with the assault on the Galactic Federation, and then the Fury Green portion on Viewros where Samus first starts to unlock her psychic abilities. Predictably, the Switch 1 version looks noticeably lower-quality than its Switch 2 counterpart, with less-detailed textures and lighting effects. It still looks decent, though, and compares favorably to the Metroid Prime Remaster that was released on Switch in 2023.

Fuse is an Italian digital art studio and production company led by founders Mattia Carretti and Luca Camellini, and a group of engineers, designers, architects and artists who stage artworks, shows and exhibits, including tonight's Dӧkk.

Every few years our team ends up reevaluating our test management setup and it always leads to the same debate. Most tools look similar on paper, but the real difference shows up six months later when the suite grows and the process gets messy. Some teams love the structure in tools like TestRail or Qase, others prefer something lighter that does not slow them down.

When you are building a social feed, data grid, or chat UI, everything feels fine with 10 mock items. Then you connect a real API, render 50,000 rows with myList.map(...), and the browser locks up. The core problem is simple: you are asking the DOM to do too much work. Virtualization solves this by rendering only what the user can actually see. Instead of mounting 50,000 nodes, you render the 15-20 items that are visible in the viewport, plus a small buffer.

It's impossible not to be thankful for Kpop Demon Hunters; they're slaying the demons for us through song! For their Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade debut, Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, the singing voices of Huntrix, performed their no. 1 hit "Golden" while wearing cozy snowsuits with nods to their characters; Ejae had a bright purple headband for Rumi, Nuna had two framing pieces for her hair, and Ami had earmuffs performing as her hairbuns.

Bosch green, DeWalt yellow, Milwaukee red, all shaped like someone welded a tube to a motor and called it done. Then Hoto shows up with a 20V leaf blower that looks like it fell out of a District 9 prop truck, all sleek curves and matte surfaces, the kind of thing you'd expect to see mounted on a space marine's hip rather than hanging in a suburban garage.

Apple just announced its M5 chip a few weeks ago but this MacBook Pro with M4 Pro remains an incredibly powerful machine that handles almost all professional workflows with ease. This record low pricing at $1,749 on Amazon for the 24GB/512GB model, down from $1,999, makes it more compelling than most MacBooks currently available. The model sits as the #1 best-seller among MacBook Pros on Amazon and the reason becomes clear when you consider the specs at this price point.

Wicked: For Good is Ariana Grande's movie. And the film knows it, bending toward her every chance it gets. If the first Wicked centered Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), the shy outcast whose discovery of her magical powers and the sinister machinery behind the land of Oz led to her being branded the Wicked Witch of the West, Wicked: For Good focuses intently on her opposite number and best friend, Glinda (Grande), now positioned by the powers that be as the good (but secretly powerless) witch who

Join us for an evening of vertical dance featuring established and emerging Bay Area artists.

Ah yes, 1966,

Rolldown, a new JavaScript/TypeScript bundler written in Rust, has emerged from VoidZero, the maintainers of projects such as Vite. Rolldown offers a high performance alternative to conventional bundlers with full compatibility for the Rollup plugin ecosystem. Designed as the next logical step for modern build workflows, Rolldown promises significant build time improvements while retaining familiar plugin interfaces. Rolldown was designed primarily to be the underlying bundler within Vite to replace the existing Vite dependencies of esbuild and Rollup.

Jason Thorpe (The Witcher, The Banishing) is instantly lovable as Winston Smith, who arrives unannounced at his daughter Joy's flat. He is a chaotic, grey-haired dad, full of quick wit and risky jokes (the audience laughs constantly). Joy played by writer Farino herself (Anatomy of a Scandal, Masters of the Air) is perturbed by her father's appearance. She's a soft-spoken, formidable presence, wise to his erratic nature but without the capacity to resist him.

As part of the exhibition Bay Area Then, join us for performances by Erica Dawn Lyle & Brontez Purnell.

Thanks to Ava Byrd's fabulous costumes and Jeremy Letheule's hair designs and wigs, I found myself transported to 1940s New York where snappy dialog, moral ambiguity and unchecked ambition drive the action. Written by Mary Orr in 1946, The Wisdom of Eve became a successful Hollywood film starring Bette Davis in 1950 and went on to become the musical Applause! Applause!

I try to give my best. I could have done better against Elche and I promise to improve because I'm not entirely happy with my performance overall.

Squeezing genuine desktop performance into a compact laptop is easier said than done; the balance between performance, battery life, size, weight, and thermals is hard to get right, and this is one reason Apple's 14in MacBook Pro has been so successful.

Robbert van de Corput, a world-renowned DJ professionally known as Hardwell, has been performing in front of large crowds across the world for over a decade. But for Hardwell, it's not about the technical precision or the size of the crowd; it's a full mind and body experience. He has spent the last several years developing strategies to effectively manage his energy levels, stress, and recovery, ultimately improving his performance in all areas of life.

Modern CSS has great ways to position and move a group of elements relative to each other, such as anchor positioning. That said, there are instances where it may be better to take up the old ways for a little animation, saving time and effort. We've always been able to affect an element's structure, like resizing and rotating it. And when we change an element's intrinsic sizing, its children are affected, too. This is something we can use to our advantage.

With the price and quality of laptops these days, it can be difficult to recommend prebuilt desktop PCs-especially when they aren't focused on gaming. The Dell Tower Plus straddles the line, offering strong performance in a more modern, office-friendly aesthetic. It's ideal as a mixed-use computer that can act as a work-from-home PC by day and a secret gaming rig by night.

Hey everyone, I have been working on a new website and would love some honest feedback from the community. I have focused on usability, visual balance, and performance, but I'm sure there's room for improvement. You can check it out here:Instagram Story Viewer I would really appreciate your thoughts on the layout, typography, and overall experience anything that stands out as good or bad. Thanks in advance for taking the time!

After the Hunt: Luca Guadagnino's he/said, she/said, they/said provocation knocks high-minded institutions off lofty pedestals but it spends nonstop time reveling in showing humanity at its worst. It's a movie that aims to make you angry, and it does it so well you all but wonder, in the end, if it has anything new to say. First-time screenwriter Nora Garrett assembles a viper's nest of academics and one star student, but no one is likable.

We have made the decision to push some of our content and feature updates a little bit into the future while we're addressing these things to make sure that we can get to a much more stable state that we can believe in,
