Trying to access a #VSCode #DevContainer from another computer on your network?

Set “remote.localPortHost” to “allInterfaces” (thats an uppercase “i” in there). Ports exposed by your app running in the container will now be accessible by the host machine’s IP address.

I love using #KDE 's #Kate text editor, but the seemingly simple 'find' feature is really, really annoying and borderline unusable to navigate through compared to any other text editors, such as #VSCode. I find it a lil crazy when an important UI element such as a button, in this case the button to go to the next or previous instance, could shift places or move drastically as you're using it. Am I supposed to pay attention to the text I'm trying to look for, or am I supposed to go googly eyed and look at both the text and find where I am supposed to click?

i love that #Clone shows you the cost of it's operations. #vscode

I've heard people say that VSCode is resource hungry. Compared to the JetBrains tools I find VSCode really fast and responsive. I also use vim for some code editing. Can anyone recommend a code editor that is open source and less resource hungry than VSCode, while at the same time having an ecosystem of plugins? #vscode #ide #programming #vim #jetbrains

#VSCode's #Copilot charges you more or less credits depending on which model you use. #chatGPT's #GPTo4 and #GPT41 don't cost anything, but they rarely perform more than one action at a time so you have to keep telling them to "continue". #GPTo3mini #GPTo4 mini only cost 0.33 credits, but they often don't get it right the first time so you have to keep calling them. #Claude #Sonnet nails it every time, but runs significantly longer.

I cannot believe how bad the #copilot suggestions in #vscode are. Anyone got a good IDE for #nextflow?

Isn't it incredible there's a plugin for everything in #VSCode? XC=BASIC is a pretty obscure hobbyist language that I've played with! And it is covered. #retrocomputing #commodore #c64 #basic #xcbasic

Which VSCode extension you'd prefer to try local LLMs or through Openrouter etc. ?

Small version, but big changes!

• the auto-completion system has been redesigned
  • now the addition is displayed automatically after typing the first character
  • a cache system is used for individual elements of records
  • the fuzzy-finder system is used, searching by substring or elements of a line
  • a selection of elements by the number of uses is used, the elements that are most often used will be displayed above

"Just because a piece of software is #OpenSource it does not mean the software is secure." --me

I've been saying that for years and it really bothers me to hear developers and users alike quip that because a package is open source it automatically means it's more secure than a comparable package that is closed-source.

As EricS. Raymond, one of the people behind open source, said in Linus's Law, "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow." If no one is looking, though -- as appears to be the case here — then simply because a codebase is open, it doesn't provide any safety or security at all.

VS Code now supports the complete Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification.
