Like many of you I also knew what git worktrees were but always found them clunky because you mentally had to manage worktrees AND branches at the same time. That's why I didn't bother using them.

A couple of weeks ago I discovered Worktrunk. That's when my whole workflow flipped 180 degrees: I now always use worktrees, love it, will never go back. Worktrunk was the missing piece for me. Very recommended.

The Vision Pro battery is already external, isn't it? But the device is heavy anyway, I think because of the used materials like glass.

In Europe contactless payment is nearly everywhere - nearly every store supports it. Even in Germany (which is historically very pro-cash), since Covid more and more people pay with card and many of whom pay contactless.

In the EU we have some rules that even contactless payments with card sometimes, but not always, need to have some kind of additional authentication in the form of entering your PIN. Contactless payment methods via phone or watch don't have this need because they already have their own authentication methods. That's why so many people pay with their phone or watch. Its just more convenient and always contactless. (no PIN needed)

How is it in the US? Are things like Apple Pay still limited to certain stores?

You could argue the same with Boeing vs. Airbus. Why should Europeans build their own aircrafts? Today I think a lot of people are happy, that Airbus exists to compensate for the problems that Boeing has. Competition is good and will lead to better solutions in the long run.

Me and my wife had the plans of visiting the US every year for vacation before our daughter starts with school in a couple of years. Not anymore. I think this administration will not only destroy a lot of goodwill and business relationships, but also the dreams of many people who had a positive attitude towards the US.

> Also, why does it take 10 seconds for activity monitor to show information? The list goes on.

That's not a bug, but a feature. Under View -> Update Frequency, you can change it.

I was shortly excited because I expected Google Street View from the 1840s, oh well...

Oh yes, my wife bought a new Intel MBA in summer 2020... I told her at the time Apple planned its own chip, but it couldn't be much better than the Intel one and surely Apple will increase prices too... I was so wrong.

Using Sublime Merge for over a year now after using Magit/Emacs mostly (and git command line for years before that).

What I like about Sublime Merge is its performance and the stage/unstage UI/UX is intuitive and fast backed by a competent text editor engine, similar to what I liked about Magit. Having multiple repositories open in a tab interface is also nice.

What you have to keep in mind is that Sublime Merge also includes a competent merge tool (hence the name). Sometimes we have to do more complex merges and Sublime Merge does this in an intuitive and integrated way, which would be a completely separate application in many other popular Git front-ends. Therefore the price is IMHO fair and justified. I can recommend giving it a try for a couple of weeks.

That's not true. I have a German eBay account from May 2001 when we still had the DM. eBay was very popular back then and had a completely different feeling because it was mostly used by private individuals for selling their stuff instead of mostly professional merchants like it is today.

> And from Microsoft / GitHub - who would have a lot additional information (logs, ip-adresses, use of two-factor auth etc.)? Have they made a statement?

Based on a HN comment from a couple of weeks ago, by analyzing the attackers IP addresses from IRC chat logins, it seems they used a VPN service. If you think about it, it makes sense to always use VPN when doing an operation like this. So I think the ip addresses won't be of much use.

Exactly. I remember that many PAL PS2 games at the time had big black bars at the top and the bottom, and as a result a distorted image overall. The video game experience was not great for PAL gamers at the time because most developers made bad PAL ports. Most gamers wanted undistorted images and 60fps, which was solved when we came to the PS3/360 era with digital output via HDMI and newer flat screen TVs.

Your privacy policy is very short and missing some important information. Where are your servers located? What cloud providers do you use? Do you use encryption in transit and at rest? How do you protect my data? Where are you located?

Because task managers are storing a lot of sensitive information over time this is an important topic for a lot of people. The website should cover these questions.
