As someone who's been writing a lot of JavaScript, Go, and a handful of other languages for a while, I feel this. In Go, I can basically know what's going to happen when I write a function. This operation will read from the stack,

Jupyter Notebooks today are handled by the Python extension, which is a separate codebase and team from VS Code. You should file issues there: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python

Fyi VS Code is working on[1] native first-class notebook support, which should make the experience of using a notebook much better. Notebooks right now stretch the bounds what extensions can do, particularly in that they can't use the

For each person making millions of dollars, there's millions of creators who want to be stars doing exactly that. Having worked in the game streaming business for a while, I can assure you there's no shortage of those people.

I used Cytoscape on a recent project[1] after trying d3 initially. It still works beautifully! Although its performance is not so great if you have more than a thousand nodes/few thousand edges or so. 1. https://github.com&#

There's also several new 'silenced' switches[1][2] which have dampening built-in by moulding in a softer plastic into the switch stem. I can't stand the feel of o-rings; I use a Zilent switch keyboard for work and it&#x2

I don't see this going well in most US domestic scenarios, but the ongoing events in Hong Kong (where we see videos of police persuing fleeing prorestors) comes to mind as a use case.

Yea, the V8 json parser is implemented naively and optimized alongside the engine in a way that other serialization methods in Javascript, and JSON in other languages, is generally not.

It's been about four years since we touched it. When we used Waterline (the Sails ORM), we discovered two distinct SQL injection vulnerabilities in it, without intentionally looking. I would link the related issues, but they seem to ha
