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

trashymctrash — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 12:52:03 +0000

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 grifters and would like to find trustworthy advice.

Has anyone here successfully treated nerd neck, and if yes, how did you do it and what where the improvements that you noticed? I am envisioning some sort of "program" that I need to follow, but I have no idea if I can do this by myself, or if I actually need to go to a physiotherapist.

In short: there is a ton of advice out there, but I trust the HN crowd more and would be very happy to hear some anecdotes. Thank you!

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

New comment by trashymctrash in "GraphQL: The enterprise honeymoon is over"

trashymctrash — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 18:52:55 +0000

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 don’t want to spend mental CPU cycles on anything Trump related, but it’s hard to escape that.

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.

Ask HN: How would you setup the pricing for a GraphQL API?

trashymctrash — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 12:46:59 +0000

Most APIs usually price the user per request, I believe. How are you handling this with your GraphQL API that you are selling, or a GraphQL that you are paying for?

I couldn't find any helpful resources when googling this topic, so any insights would be appreciated. Thank you
