You can deny Claude access to its own built-in tools, including the question asking tool. Could solve your problem?

100%. One big benefit of IDE integration is that it’s the same editor. Same keybindings, same syntax highlighting, etc.

There’s horizontal scrolling on mobile, which is ironic.

Unfortunately it’s not feature complete - you can’t paste images in review comments, for example.
Still very useful for large PRs though.
Re:Ask HN: What is the best way to learn 3D modeling for 3D printing?
on Tuesday July 15, 2025 @10:11PM (#44578025)
I tried FreeCAD, I really did. I gave up due to constant crashes and terrible UX and went to Fusion. Even though it's slow on my laptop it's still a far better experience. I am never going to commercialise my models so it's acceptable for me.
(Note: I would have tried Solidworks given the reasonable hobby pricing, but it's Windows only, and I don't want a web-based CAD tool)

I’m someone else but for me the point is a serious bug resulted _incorrect data_, making it impossible to trust the output.
Re:Apple squandered the Holy Grail

My hypothesis is that certain products need users and feedback to be good. Maps is one of those, hence why they had to release it in a ‘bad’ state. Apple AI I think is another such product.

Once we can use popover and anchor positioning, tooltips and drop downs can also be in the top layer. I can’t wait

I've wondered the same thing. I think one benefit is that it looks like HTML, which means it looks similar to what you see in the browser's DevTools, which makes it easier to compare and debug.

Re:Multi-cursor code editing: An animated introduction
on Friday April 19, 2024 @10:47PM (#40094269)
Vim makes multi-cursor even more powerful. You usually don’t need to find the right pattern in cases where the lengths differ as this post describes, because each vim movement applies to each cursor independently. So ‘go to comma’ and ‘change in parentheses’ work as expected on each line.
A common action for me is to use (the equivalent of) cmd+d to select the most obvious repeated symbol then use vim movements from there.

Thats called Modified Preorder Tree Traversal and the reason to use it over simple parent ID and order is performance.

I’m not the other person, but there’s no privacy setting for normal messages, in the iOS version at least. So it’s impossible to block messages from randoms.

Scooters requires use of your hands. I can see potential for these for when you need to keep your hands free for activities.

Nice! I also wrote my own implementation of the game of life not long ago! It’s less fleshed out, but it was a fun little project.
