Curious about which extensions are keeping you in vscode?


not OP but for me it's Live Share for remote pairing. I can barely function without vim-mode enabled but have never fully made the jump to (n)vim.


R.I.P. Today is the day to donate to ICCF.


How do Ergo layouts make it harder to touch type? I learnt touch typing after getting my first ergo keyboard, but I found it a transferrable skill to normal qwerty staggered keyboards with little need for adjustment. My error rate might be 1% higher on none-ergo keyboards, but otherwise I don't notice much difference.

For reference, I use a ZSA Moonlander.


Personally, the split is a big problem. I don't keep a strict separation of left-hand and right-hand during typing.


VS22 > jetbrains is surprising to me. Care to share why? I'm also curious why Linux is so far down and windows is your favourite.


Very nice! I suspect a lot of people will be dismissive of this, same way people dismiss the usefulness of inaccurate tools such as Google translate for learning languages. Similarly to Google translate, though, I believe this can be very useful if the user remains critical of the output. It would not surprise me if this becomes a "must have" tool for language learning in the future. My only major complainants so far is that it doesn't support my main foreign language (Japanese), and that the website lacks mobile support, but I'm sure these are both planned for the future


Thanks for the feedback! I agree that the mobile experience is far for acceptable, but this is something I am actively working on at the moment. Also, Japanese is a language that is planned to be supported in the near future!

You might like hyperplexed on YouTube. He redesigns popular websites while explaining his thought process and reasoning behind every decision.


I am reading the same book right now, but with my eyes rather than ears. I don't actually mind the detail in retrospect, because it's used both to add flavour to the story and to reflect on ideas that are very unique, at least to me. I do agree that it's a bit terse at times though. The part about the monastery did make me bored


Do you have a source on this? I can't find anything, and Wikipedia seems to contradict what you say


Mind sharing some examples?


It depends on the use-case.

For vanilla use-cases, the debugger on Visual Studio or Jetbrains IDEs may have more features and better usability.

I think some even support reverse debugging or time travel (rr-like), memory watchpoints, etc.

Pause execution when some memory is read or written to = watchpoint.

For reverse engineering you've got OllyDbg clones like edb or x64dbg and others.

And there is the underworld of gdb custom scripts that is really interesting looking into. gdb tui too.
