I think it's used internally within Caddy?
Was going to say something similar - the interior on my Sealion 7 is great! It's better than the BMW or E-Class Mercedes I had before.
Re:ChatGPT and Codex usage limits merging on Saturday October 31, 2026 @06:17PM (#50320800)
I just got an email stating that "Chat and Work are coming together in one experience". Then, half way through it's the real headline: "A shared allowance for ChatGPT and Codex". Figured it was coming at some point...
Sorry, you're right; I was referring tpnthe Greens of England and Wales, under Polanski.
The Greens, under Polanski, have never been less "niche".

Kinda reminds me of SimFarm, from back in the early 90's! Anyone else have fond memories of SimFarm?
Not worthless for the anti-cannabis lobby, I suppose.
Without accounting for route of administration, this paper seems pretty worthless... almost deliberately so?
I found it to be an excellent, easy-to-read summary.

Any good reason to use keepassxc rather than regular KeePass?

Even then... is "baby carrier" an American term? Are we talking about slings or car seats or something else?
Ah. I don't rate how JetBrains have gone about it. It feels like things have moved around a lot, and it seems too complicated, with too many AI "thingies" sprinkled around without much explanation. And the inline, auto-suggested change can vary from "useful, please do that", to "will you stop flashing up all this shit everywhere I look!".

For a while I used Junie for small refactorings, and it generally does a good job, quite quickly. A couple of times I tried asking it for more complex things, and it didn't do well. I do find the UI to be a bit tricky, so it's quite possible I did something wrong or didn't add something to the context I was supposed to. Hopefully they sort out the "AI Chat" panel soon.

But now I use Codex/ChatGPT... and what it can do is frankly incredible. And it might just be me, but I do like having my AI chat UI completely separate from my IDE.

I like a completely separate tool for managing databases.
I use Rider and DataGrip regularly. I also use WriterCide,

DataGrip is seriously under-rated, IMO.

Come on, this is really laying it on thick! I'd like to see some pretty strong evidence of that almost comically over-the-top list you open with.
So, I've only used a bidet a few times while on holiday, and I did prefer it to just TP... but I don't understand how I could possibly dry that much water with a single square of tissue-thin toilet paper - paper that is specifically designed to come apart when wet?!
Eh... The full quote is even worse, making it plain he's talking about everyone in Gaza:

“I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat – there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.”

It's absolutely plain as day that Ben Gvir is genocidal.

Bots pushing fake propaganda indeed!

Which Android app would you recommend?
It does exist, but the allowable use cases that third parties can claim "legitimate interest" for need to be severely restricted. At present, it's a joke - a single site can have dozens or even hundreds of companies claiming "legitimate" interests, but which are anything but legitimate.

Looks interesting - does it have better library management than DarkTable?

There tends to be a lot of low-key (and some not-so-low-key) anti-Chinese xenophobia on HN, so that's likely a big part of it too.
Re:Show HN: I've built a words game based on binary search on Thursday July 16, 2026 @11:13AM (#48935690)
I really like this, it kind of reminds me of "Hangman"!

A few ideas, if you don't mind:

1. Have a "normal" mode and "master" mode, where the normal mode has words with maybe 5 letters and the master mode uses 7 letters

2. Have an archive of previous games - kinda sucks that I can't play the old ones!

3. Contrast on the up/down arrows on letters isn't clear enough, at least not for me (colour blind)

Magnesium citrate works well for constipation, IME.

The Zanagrams game, which AFACK is from the same developer (?), actually does this - it counts up like a stopwatch, then compares your time to the global average at the end.

I much prefer this way, personally at least.
