Sure, it's not new. Neither are memory leaks and race conditions...but we still expect competent engineers to avoid them. It's like opening a store but the doors jam the moment customers walk in. A crowd isn't the problem, your setup is.

The site fails to load...it just gets stuck in a fetching state. Another downside of vibe programming.

But why not film everything like skydivers do in 8K 120fps from every angle and live stream it? After all, it is 2026...and near-Earth missions like the Moon can now support hundreds of Mbps (even approaching Gbps with laser communication). In the age of live streaming, wasn't this taken into account? All we got is a choppy 480p video feed, if that.

Suing for invasion of privacy over a music video demonstrating how they invaded his privacy is wild!!

Criminal immunity? Sure. Civil immunity? Nope! She could definitely make a nice buck.

Perfect use case for a web based sample sequencer!

Clickbait. It didn't advise that.

Trying it out to sell consulting services, but I'm unable to create a product with the type set to "Service". The platform only allows physical or digital products to be created. Although I have selected "Services" under "Goods Type", the option still isn't available.

I'm honestly amazed that a company CF's size doesn't have a neat little cluster of Mac Minis running OpenClaw and quietly taking care of this for them.

Wow! I'd never heard of it. Just checked it out and it's fantastic. Great job!

This is not mobile friendly. Was that intentional?

What is your pricing for this? It's hard to find any info other than just signup.

We need a way to define precision of the grid.

This is funny! Google AI Studio generated the exact same layout with exact same colors for my 3D app that I'm working on.

Lol, right?!?! I would've expected sequential PNGs followed by SVGs once the model improved.

When I use the following constraints:

    ^.{6,8}$
    [0-9]
    [A-Z]
    [a-z]

I get:

    F񣛯7򴘇󢎺򋛠o
    d1󴆂󯹓󶄁񪥴A񴊆
    𑐟Ku򍅼󨫢9􆯩
    𑍞4񾋚𢗏Rw򂚃񷰗
    I򹪴𦢺򎐝2𵞎򓛹r

I don't think those block chars should be there. Am I missing something?

VS Code feels like nothing but bloat. Sublime Text is still my go-to, as I'm not very well-versed in Neovim yet. I'm also really digging the new C/Lua-based Lite XL - https://lite-xl.com. One of my New Year's resolutions is to learn Neovim properly.
