it would be nice if they added a link preview

not sure why they have never done that before

i dont think i ever needed cross platform cross shell syncing of history
That seems slightly pointless no? I mean Singapore is small enough already, there probably is 10 courses maximum. The one I've seen is the Changi course, and I don't think it can compare to the average course size in the States

goodbye shizuku i guess, and maybe termux
The law is so broad that theoretically, age verification can be on your watches, your Ti-84, anything.
always shove it to `%LOCALAPPDATA%/Temp`, or `~/AppData/Local/Temp`, and don't think otherwise
Re:GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing on Monday April 27, 2026 @07:34PM (#47928701)
Opus 4.6 "Fast" was originally at 10x, literally the same cost as Opus 4.1. After promotion period, it was 30x.
Re:GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing on Monday April 27, 2026 @07:32PM (#47928693)
exactly why i loved Github Copilot, you could pull of these shenanigans, and nothing would ever happen. That was the best part of it

but now, you get literally nothing

send a blank black page then load from there?
I was using KeepChatGPT[1] for a while back in 2023-2024, pre-Gemini-in-Google era, and I was fascinated as to how it was able to mask being a user without needing any API or help from the end user. I stopped using it after 2024 because 1) Gemini and 2) It breaks quite a lot. I did however, like how you had an option to push the AI panel to the right, if only Google even considers doing so.

Re:A Faster Alternative to Jq on Friday March 27, 2026 @09:58AM (#47542740)
I also genuinely hate using jq. It is one of the only things that I rely heavily on AI.
> VERY verbose in the plan output

Is that an issue? GitHub charges per-request, not per-token, so a verbose output and short output will be the same cost

What model are you using?

Nope, check out something like wiretext, look at this example I put together very quickly

That literally is the definition of JIT, it does a quick parse, compiles hot parts and improves it later on
Re:What Claude Code Chooses on Thursday February 26, 2026 @11:48PM (#47176638)
That is the issue. It's why Xcode development is really bad with AI models[0] -- because there are barely any text-based tutorials for it, so the models have to make a lot of assumptions and whatnot. Hence, they are really good at Python, JavaScript, and increasingly, Rust.

This is very very concerning, and I really hope he doesn't fall depper into this.

Re:Building a TUI is easy now on Friday February 13, 2026 @10:23PM (#47011218)
It's just their tech debt. They chose to use react.js in the terminal via ink, and essentially footgun their way through each update.
Re:Nova Launcher Added Facebook and Google Ads Tracking on Tuesday January 20, 2026 @02:06AM (#46688811)
Niagara Launcher is like Niri among the other Linux Window Managers. It is highly unique, and yet still gets the job done, if not better.
Have you checked out Harmonic? It's an amazing Hacker News android client!

Can you please update me when that happens?
I use LazyGit as well, but the graph icons always piss me off so much. I've gotten used to it, but I'd love to change the icons.
Re:STFU on Saturday January 17, 2026 @06:21AM (#46657150)
Thanks throwaway account.

But have you fully read it? By replaying what was playing, it forces the original noise to stop and in return, the repeated noise.

how does it compare to opencode's own gui that uses tauri?
