Ask HN: Why is Cursor IDE accessing all my env vars?(ycombinator.com) Recently I tried playing with https://www.cursor.com/ but got spooked by the LuLu alert (https://objective-see.org/products/lulu.html) when launching the app, where the process args included "JSON.stringify(process.env)" part, see screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/DmDuGTz<p>Is this... normal? I don't understand why they might want to serialize/access all of my env vars. Does anyone have a suggestion for that behaviour? I'm probably missing some reasonable explanation, happy to learn more.

My company has banned the use of Jetbrains IDEs internally(reddit.com) Most of the devs at the company (~1000 people) use Jetbrains IDEs for development. This morning it was announced that all Jetbrains products were to be removed from workstations and that everyone needs to switch to.... anything else.

Show HN: Aide, an open-source AI native IDE(aide.dev) Ever tried making large changes in a codebase using AI? If you are like me, you probably were very impressed – at first. The initial bliss quickly fades away when you realise the code will be very hard to maintain, or is flat out wrong.
Debugging Compiled Code for R with Positron(tylermw.com) Positron is a new IDE by the creators of RStudio that’s built on VSCode’s open source core, but layered with extra bells and whistles for R (and Python, if that’s your thing). And those bells and whistles’ music is particularly well tuned for R developers working with compiled code, which was always a rather rough experience in RStudio.
