So it does look like the TypeScript language server has a limit of 4MB source size where it disables type checking (and actually shows an erroneous error stating that exports that exist in the file do not exist) for files that are imported but not open in the current workspace/session.
Still not sure if this is documented anywhere or not (haven’t been able to find it, if it is).
99.99999% of the time, unless you’re doing niche stuff like I am, you won’t run into this.
Workaround: should you have such a large file, e.g., with a large generated object, try and refactor to split it up into multiple files and rejoin it a separate file. The actual object size/memory usage isn’t the issue, it’s the file size.

Right, well, I can reproduce it with a simple example so I just filed a bug. Let’s see if it’s a known issue/limitation or what.

The latest proprietary #VSCode extension that no longer works in non-Microsoft builds of the MIT licensed VS Code source code appears to be C and C++ support.
Your regular reminder: every day more of VSCode functionality is proprietary, and increasingly #FOSS hostile.

#VSCode extensions 'Material Theme – Free' and 'Material Theme Icons – Free' with 9 million installs pulled over #security risks
Researchers told BleepingComputer that their specialized scanner detected malicious activity in the extension's code. One of the researchers, Amit Assaraf, says they believe the malicious code was introduced in an update to the extensions, indicating either a supply chain attack through a dependency or the developer's account was compromised.

So, following a blog post[1] from @webology and some guides about #VSCode plugins online, I set up #ollama with a number of models and connected that to the Continue plugin.
My goal: see if local-laptop #llm code assistants are viable.
My results: staggeringly underwhelming, mostly in terms of speed. I tried gemma3, qwen2.5, and deepseek-r1; none of them performed fast enough to be a true help for coding.
Do you use VS Code and the PHP Debug plugin to use @Xdebug?
It'd mean the world to us to leave a nice/constructive review:

@ramin_hal9001 People's perceptions of bloat and performance also comes from comparisons with what's nearby.
"Oh but vscode is so fast and light compared to atom. And emacs is so bloated (vs #vim). It almost makes you forget how #emacs and #vscode compare "

I have two dangerous thought today.
1. What if I start using #VSCode? I mean, it actually is my dream editor, being a browser applied to text editing. And I'm a browser-everything person.
2. What if AI buggle doesn't burst? And we will actually need/have to use the "AI", especially if it improves?
how do i throw away my preferences and settings for vs code to get a clean state?
#vscode now seems to open an SVG in "render the SVG" mode, rather than “show me the SVG's code" mode. I can't find an entry to undo this in settings … it’s gotta be in there somewhere, right?
Have any of you found the proper way to stop this travesty?

Once upon a time, in the land of Quarto, there lived a wise and benevolent Quarto Wizard. One day, whilst exploring the ancient libraries, he stumbled upon a magical listing of Quarto extensions. Recognising its immense value, he decided to share it with the people. With a flick of his wand, he made it possible to install these extensions with just a few clicks.

Paste seems to be bugged in editors/vscode 1.96.4_2 and greater on FreeBSD.
If you have 1.96.4_1: consider locking it before your next upgrade of packages.

@DaveMasonDotMe Thanks for sharing this. I guess I'm getting a salute from Brent. I'm with you - not impressed. I got the Polyglot Notebook working, but with much pain.
Had a conversation today with a data scientist. He had so much trouble with ADS that he installed SSMS. I told him to just uninstall ADS and don't look back.

How come VS Code broke its only key combination that it is useful with, the Ctrl-V???
The common workflow for the most of users is:
1. Ctrl-C at #StackOverflow
2. Ctrl-V in #VSCode
3. Run it
Am I wrong?
Since I just saw a VSCode post, this is top of mind today.
I thought Polyglot Notebooks was going to just slide in and handle the Jupyter notebooks we run in ADS. No. Either it doesn't work as advertised or I did something wrong in my configuration.
Enjoying my day off and will step back into the tech fray on Wednesday.
But if anybody has any thoughts ...
