This wowed me in the same way when I saw GLSL for the first time. What is Geoscript??? I love this.

You might be able to ask it what it knows.

That's interesting, but I wonder if it's _just_ the system prompt dictating that a request that would likely consume too many resources and likely fail should be rejected with such an answer.

This captures how we "mature" as developers (and humans) when we ship software that other people actually use. A hilly journey of embarassment and pride :)
Thanks for sharing.
retrofuturism commented on iTerm2 critical security release iterm2.com/downloads/stab... · Posted by u/tjwds
iTerm2 increasingly seems too complex and bloated to me, with too many security issues. I haven't shopped for a new terminal emulator on macOS in a long time, but perhaps it's now time.
I should also get around to switching to tmux, now that GNU Screen seems to be stagnant...
I recently gave Ghostty a chance and have since switched over from iTerm2 completely. It's very familiar and polished.
Great question! Right now, it doesn't take into consideration the browser or device address/bottom bars. We documented that here: https://github.com/bitcomplete/labs-delta-viewport-tester-vi... (Caveat #1).
We plan to address this in the future, but at the moment, Viewport Tester works in a similar way to Chrome's native Device Inspector: it resizes the viewport to the exact dimensions.
If I could toggle between different states of the top/bottom bars I would use this tool every day.

In "HTML Snake" the video cuts just as the snake intersects with the obstacle. Presumably because the game crashed (I can't see endGame defined anywhere)
This video is featured in the main announcement so it's kinda dishonest if you ask me.

That's not literally his e-mail :D. He means that you have to replace it with his HN username. It would have been better to write it like this: [HN username]@gmail.com
Hahaha okay I feel dumb now.

This is super neat and I think I've seen your site before :)
Do you handle authentication? We have lots of users that want to automate some part of their daily workflow but the pages are often behind a login and/or require a few clicks to reach the desired content.
Happy to chat: username@gmail.com
You must get a lot of test emails to that FANTASTIC gmail address. Funny how it might even be worth some decent money.
