<p>> keyboard/shortcut situation is absolutely cursed. Not different...actually cursed<p>You know, you can change almost any shortcut you want with Karabiner (app). You don't even need to memorize them.<p>When I first switched to Mac after using Ubuntu for 4 years before that, I didn't expect this level of customization. It's misunderstood because Apple doesn't advertise this.</p>

<p>Building a tool to help review changes made by AI agents in response to PR review comments.<p>The key functionality is to be able to easily see the changes made for each comment, rather than each file.</p>

<p>Only if never find opportunities to simplify the code it's writing and you don't review the code at all.<p>> no matter what direction you take, you'll get high quality code<p>This is not the case today. You get medium-quality, sometimes over-engineered code 10x faster.</p>

<p>I like the idea of tying the products to the companies but just make two categories: Indie (default) and Big companies.</p>

<p>As someone who's switched from mobile to web dev professionally for the last 6 months now. If you care about code quality, you'll develop that neural connection after some time.<p>But if you don't and there's no PR process (side projects), the motivation to form that connection is quite low.</p>

<p>This is interesting. I've been using a system-wide Obsidian vault that all my agents use for stuff that's platform-specific instead of project specific (think common Android/Samsung-related or ANR fixes). So far, it hasn't been mind-blowing but it's only been a month so its knowledge from there is also limited.<p>lat seems like it could be useful to cross-reference company-wide projects.</p>

<p>I think this part can be improved. When it knows it's blocked by sandbox, it shouldn't try to circumvent it. I've had it download programs when it's blocked from using something and it's super annoying.<p>Almost like it doesn't understand the purpose of the sandbox.</p>

<p>Someone tried this earlier this year but they ended up going with bubblewrap (what Anthropic uses for the sandbox). Here's the blog if you're interested. <a href="https://patrickmccanna.net/a-better-way-to-limit-claude-code-and-other-coding-agents-access-to-secrets/" rel="nofollow">https://patrickmccanna.net/a-better-way-to-limit-claude-code...</a><p>I ended up creating an LXC on my homelab and providing it access there, with a self-hosted gitea server but that's only for side projects that I want to host, not develop actively.</p>

<p>Android already provides the "proxy" system. You never need a permission to ask the camera app to launch and pass back the photo to your app.<p>It's only because people want to control the camera UI.<p>It's slowly getting better but the API devs need a way to learn what the apps need to be better.<p>For example, maybe in the future, we could have an Android OS bottom sheet with the camera view finder instead of an embedded app UI that requires camera permission.<p>And also, don't forget that these permissions were eventually required because malicious actors like Meta kept surveiling users in the background without their knowledge.</p>

<p>You're not providing a one-time access to the photo in this case, you're providing perpetual access to the uri.<p>If it loses access, it won't be able to display the media from your local storage. And of course, you wouldn't want it to duplicate the media because that'll take up extra storage.</p>
