New comment by close2 in "GLM 5.2 vs. Opus"

I wonder how much tokens and time where used for the verifying part. Maybe GLM 5.2 instantly found the "solution" to read the screen pixel by pixel, but it could also have been a major token and time consumer.

Ask HN: What are your favorite tips/tricks about IDEs that aren't well known?

close2 — Fri, 05 Jan 2024 16:57:17 +0000

I'm preparing a presentation to help my coworkers make better use of the tools we all use and would be interested in what other devs recommend.

My presentation is focused on windows, IntelliJ,... (What we use at work) but any tip is welcome.

I currently have:

IntelliJ

   Shortcuts: Shift-F6, Ctrl-Ctrl-arrow, Ctrl-Shift-C/V, Ctrl-E, Ctrl-Shift-arrow, Ctrl-Shift-F

   Functionality: Shift-Breakpoint (for output only), Compare with clipboard, Structural search, Live templates

   Plugins: AceJump, Archive Browser, Jump to line, Key Promoter X, Rainbow Brackets Lite, SpotBugs, Unicorn Progress Bar

git: subtree

Make pdfs "editable": qpdf --qdf --object-streams=disable orig.pdf expanded.pdf

Notepad++: XML Plugin

Chrome: uBlacklist

We use Atlassian products (Confluence, Jira, Bitbucket, Bamboo) and I am still looking for settings, tricks which would make them more useful.

I would like to show some cool bash one-liners (which obviously must work in Windows).

New comment by close2 in "ESP32 based old clock controller, with NTP sync"

I've also written a controller for those slave clocks. Instead of an ESP32 I used an ESP8266. [1] and [2]

An even earlier version used an atmega and was powered from batteries [3]

Those slave-clocks are pretty loud. Both versions have a way to pause the clock.
