I found it fine once I'd set it up to do completion only by request, so I'd know that I might have to wait. The default, whereby it tries to pop up as you type, was absolutely maddening...

One interesting thing that rtags does is provide a gcc/clang wrapper script. You make symlinks to it called cc/c++/gcc/g++/etc. in a folder that's in PATH ahead of wherever gcc/clang proper live. When invo

When somebody buys gold or bitcoin, they are giving money to somebody else, who will almost certainly spend it, or, failing that, at least put it in the bank.

Probably not much of a risk if you're outdoors. Personally I've found it to have an effect when indoors, even if there's an open window. (I don't live in an especially warm climate, though. Windows are not typically open

The Code Runner looks like it just runs a script and puts the output in a VSCode panel, which is not the same thing. VSCode is written in something that compiles to Javascript, right? So, while you're running VSCode, there's a JS

The org-mode reference is "rhetoric". That's the Latin for "#thatsthejoke" :) Regarding the REPL - what I mean is, run a snippet that executes in the context of the editor. Like, in emacs, you can execute ``(defun f

Stuff seems to be very easy to get working in VSCode, whereas almost everything is a bit of a faff to set up in Emacs. Getting decent Go support in VSCode took about 1 minute, for example, and the only problem I've found with it is tha

I go one step further - the interesting part of the type has to be mentioned in a form that you can click on and do a Go To Definition (etc.). So auto foo=FooFactory::newFromBar(bar) is no good, because you can't click on the exact typ

Disagree. There's nothing wrong with looking at somebody else's previous comments, nor anything wrong with pointing out to the reader that there might (rightly or wrongly) be something of interest there. Comments are public, and a

I used NFS when using vagrant shared folders a lot a couple of years ago. Didn't really pay much attention to the performance, I must admit, which was fine for my purposes; for me it only really needed to crash less than the default sh

C# lets you do "goto case XXX" to go to another case, and empty cases fall through to the next. This is a bit inconsistent, but it at least retains the useful fall-through case, gets rid of the usually-undesirable case, and still

I was thinking about this today. Imagine treating it N bits at a time. N=4, perhaps. 16 cases, so it won't take up much space, and you can just write out each case independently. Perhaps it's easy to have a table? - then you might
