A native app is definitely a good thing.

herdr is great, and the original runs-in-a-terminal vision was cool, but at least on OSX it has a ton of selection management bugs that are pretty sucky.

No first person view or auto-orienting 3rd-person view? Without it, it's not really testing how I do the task, it's just testing how I mentally rotate spatial orientations.

I want to support JetBrains. I've loved their products. But we're a couple years into the AI revolution and their response is non-existent.

Claude is still using sed and grep.

Why haven't JetBrains turned their amazing tools into amazing tools for AI harnesses to leverage? I no longer right-mouse-click on method names to rename them or to go to the definition, but my AI still needs to be able to do that, constantly.

I want to renew, but I can't see any reason why I would. Complete failure of leadership.

P.s. Worktrees? This product announcement is about supporting worktrees? They do realize just telling Claude to "blah blah in a worktree" already works, right?

>Why? Why should we give up being critical of things we read?

Remember how pre-AI everyone used to complain about hating how this or that website hijacked scrolling? Countless words were written about hijacked scrollbars and back buttons. Zero conversations were improved by the comments and zero websites were changed as a result. It was just complaining.

"Boo hoo AI" is the same kind of low-effort, complain about everything while adding nothing to the conversation post.

Instead, try to say something more substantive than "I found a word or phrase that I think was AI."

It's certainly an impressive accomplishment, but it's unclear if this has a hypergraph/dependency nodes or if the construction history is maintained through some other means.

If it has a hypergraph, it would be helpful to include a list of which nodes are currently implemented and what level of compatibility they have with the official nodes.

You'll probably get more interest if you say something about what it is and what it does.

> "We are not terminating the relationship but are setting clear boundaries on our relationship with Mullvad"

Organizations that support the right of free speech always have to come to grips with the reality that supporting the right of free speech necessarily involves supporting the right of others to say things that the organization and/or the individuals in the organization didagree with.

Tor isn't the first such organization to have to draw distinctions between the principles it espouses and the parties it encounters, nor will it be the last.

This type of statement is not an invalidation of one's own principles, it is simply bringing clarity and focus to them. Tor advocates for freedom of speech, not for everything that others use that freedom to say.

Cool, but I can't tell from the README if it returns a bitmap in a PDF (huge, hard for recipients to copy text out of) or text in a PDF (what people expect of a PDF)

The SR-71 is cool, but this article is not at all confidence inspiring on many fronts.

Guy being interviewed by a reporter about a secret project. A secret project that is trying to resurrect an antique plane that has been subject to weather and on display as a museum piece for many years.

It sounds like a clown-show staged around a cool looking plane that's older than 90+% of HN readers.

My question wasn't about transport - it's more do I have to repeatedly poll for events, or can I make a request that effectively subscribes me to a stream of events.

Is this purely polling, or am I missing how to subscribe to events?
