   I was around during the dot-com bubble. When it popped it popped pretty quickly. It wasn't a slow leak. Everything needed to be a dot-com and everything was centered around being a dot-com no matter what the business actually did. Mone

   The limits seem higher on Ollama Cloud to me than paying for API access. I don't have solid stats on that though. I have an OpenRouter account and the service I am creating is going to need to use that. I will have better measuring sti

   I am using GLM-5.1 in pi.dev through Ollama Cloud. I am able to get by on the $20 plan. I use it a lot and the reset is hourly for sessions and weekly overall. This is the first week I got close to the limit before reset at about 85% used.

   I have been using GLM-5.1 with pi.dev through Ollama Cloud for my personal projects and I am very happy with this setup. I use pi.dev with Claude Sonnet/Opus 4.6 at work. Claude Code is great but the latest update has me compacting so

   This is great! One feature I would love, the ability to edit the markup in the left pane, see it "live" in the right pane, get it the way I like it, then copy. Nice work!

    We have recently been dealing with this not even knowing it existed prior. We adopted a flat-coated retriever from Kingman, AZ and he was soon diagnosed with a blown-out knee that required radical surgery. Luckily, my wife did some resear

    It's just before you hit the space bar to begin playing the game, "404 Error! Press space to start," then it goes away. I missed it too until I saw your comment, then I went back and checked.

    I too was concerned about lock in; however, it is really not that bad. I have been on AppEngine from the moment they supported Java. I created an abstraction layer between my program logic and whatever services it uses. This has allowed

    API docs for backgrid are fantastic. Looks like the docs are generated using JSDuck: https://github.com/senchalabs/jsduck .

    Nice project. From what I can tell from the examples, you might need to add right justification for numbers. Better would be to allow me to specify a class array for a column so I can apply styles to the values returned.

    I am the author of ScrollToFixed, which has been out in the wild for a couple of years and does docking top, bottom, middle and still allows the fixed elements to move with the horizontal scroll, which is great for table headers. I was thin

    Thanks for the explanation. I figured there was no per serving information from the data. Seems like there would not be a consolidate source for that. I get it now. Again, nice work!

    This is great! My wife and I were just discussing the nutritional value of amaranth (Calcium in particular) and then I saw this. To be clear, the bottom bar graph represents what 2000 calories of that food would contain of that nutrient?
