Opus 5.5 has reduced this to an acceptable level for me. Are you also using this plugin with that model?

i am also worried that all my private data might eventually (once tech is advanced enough) be surfaced somewhere: photos, chats, emails. wondering if i should start cleaning up now or just give up

Of all parties in Germany that have a shot at governing, it is the furthest left. Thus, „far-left“ is not wrong in my opinion.

That’s a huge overstatement. If that were true, then banks would code their core financial services with that approach but they don’t.

Ask HN: Have you successfully treated forward head posture ("nerd neck")?

I am struggling with regular tension headaches and stiff neck muscles. When standing at a wall, there is about one hand width between the wall and the back of my head. For my partner it's just a finger width.I have seen lots of videos that claim to be able to treat nerd neck, but some of them are conflicting. Example: some say "don't do chin tucks", some say the opposite. I am suspicious of...

If you read the next couple of paragraphs, the author addresses this:

> That said, Steam's policy has been recently updated to exclude dev tools used for "efficiency gains", but which are not used to generate content presented to players.

I only quoted the first paragraph, but there is more.

If you squash your PR before merging, then this alternative worked really well for me:

  git fetch --prune && git branch -vv | awk '/: gone]/{print $1}' | xargs git branch -D

Re:GraphQL: The Enterprise Honeymoon Is Over on Sunday December 14, 2025 @01:52PM (#46265659)
What I liked about GraphQL was the fact that I only have to add a field in one place (where it belongs in the schema) and then any client can just query it. No more requests from Frontend developers like „Hey, can you also add that field to this endpoint? Then I don’t have to make multiple requests“. It just cuts that discussion short.

I also really liked that you can create a snapshot of the whole schema for integration test purposes, which makes it very easy to detect breaking changes in the API, e.g. if a nullable field becomes not-nullable.

But I also agree with lots of the points of the article. I guess I am just not super in love with REST. In my experience, REST APIs were often quite messy and inconsistent in comparison to GraphQL. But of course that’s only anecdotal evidence.

I think you are misreading the parent comment here.

never used the web app, but never noticed any sluggishness with the desktop app.

If you are curious, here is how you can integrate it into a Jetbrains IDE: https://glyphy.com/a/2022/structural-diff-with-difftastic-an...

I tried it, but unfortunately it's not as seamless as it could be, so I reverted back to Jetbrain's native diffing, which is quite good anyway.

Maybe it's just me, but "bully" seems like a very exaggerated choice of words here.

it now uses bing to perform searches. so i think he is probably correct to assume that it did that. it would show up as „performing search with bing“ in the chat history.
Re:Ask HN: What helps you focus and get things done? on Wednesday April 05, 2023 @02:51PM (#35458786)
i’ve been using https://www.brain.fm for years now. when i really want to get stuff done, i put on headphones, play something from that website and set a timer for one hour. Then i take a break. repeat two or three times. Then take longer break.

not affiliated with the product. just a fan.

Very well put. I love the metaphors, especially the "microwave going bing" :D

Just curious: Where would you put "gather input or feedback from peers" in that process?

hasn’t the blue light thing been debunked recently? i remember reading a headline about this a while ago
