@c3r38r170 The trick is to disable all extensions globally (except those few that are really needed in every peoject) and only activate the ones on a per-workspace-basis that are useful for the given project.
This way you avoid bloating your VSCode with extensions.

Tell your manager (or whoever is responsible for this) that HR is harmful for motivation and productivity, meaning it is harmful for business. Make the cost of their decision clear. If they never get to know the consequences they can never change.

And what is with the twelve "22nd"s?

I love this weather.
It's not too hot. I can go outside and have a walk without coming back bathed in sweat.
It's not too bright. I don't get blind outside and there are no annoying sunrays on my monitor.
And the snow is beautiful!
I really love this weather.

It has brilliant uptime, good support, up-to-date hardware and is comparably cheap.
I use it for years now and am very happy.

Oh, nearly forgot: Older games work even better. I have a lot that stopped working on newer Windows versions ("Compatibility mode" in Windows 10 is a joke) but works flawlessly on Linux using Wine.

@just8littleBit Really good, actually. There are more and more games that come out with native Linux support (that's not shit) and Wine has become really awesome since Valve supports it via Proton. Proton itself is so easy to use with Steam that a five-years-old could set it up.
I can play roughly 75% of the games without any problems. Another 15% only need some minor adjustmens which are well documented in WineDB or ProtonDB most of the time.
Gaming on Linux has improved dramatically in the last two years and continues to become even better.

Ubuntu both at work and home (including gaming).

Do you use VSCode on Windows?
I have noticed that it runs much better on Linux, which is the case for most Electron applications.

I did not drink any alcohol in my life and never missed it.
I don't see the point in poisoning myself.

@Nanos The thing is, UI is not very comparable to a park. While UI should be practible and efficient, a park may be not. Most of the time, it shall be beautiful to look at and even naturally slow down the people walking through it to be more relaxing.
So, completely different to UI design, the mistake in this picture is to allow taking the short route. There should be barriers, either a fence/hegde or, if the grass area should still be accessible, more benches (people mostly avoid walking near other people) or natural obstacles like larger rocks.

Talks about privacy...
Uses Google Forms...

Ctrl.+Z will reverse any fuckup that could have happened.

At those here who have problems with VSCode/VSCodium: Do you use it on Windows?
Because I never had these kinds of problems, not with very big projects or with large files, neither on good machines or an a potato laptop. And especially the problem with deleting files in the background made me think that maybe it's related to Windows.
I only use it on Linux and am really pleased about how performant and hassle-free it is.

Even if I have not used Delphi or FreePascal for a long while now, I am very happy about it being my first "real" programming language. The start was easy (procedural with optional object-orientation, simple but powerful UI framework), being forced to a structured programming style from the very beginning prevented learning bad habits that I would have to overcome later, and it is powerful enough for being able to tinker around with it A LOT without being too complex for beginners. Besides that, the German Pascal/Delphi community is still huge, so it was no problem to learn programming without any notable English skills.
Every couple of years I make a little project with it and have a lot of fun. So it will remain there inside this charming corner of my heart as long as I live.

@hardfault In English (and all other European languages) the comma only comes between packs of the three digits.
So it would be 282,540.00 in the example. Or 1,234,567.00 as another. Meaning one comma for a thousand, for a million, a billion etc.
That's much easier to remember then the Indian system.

For real?

Yes, the compatibility has been broken and that wasn't good at all.
But man, this new Firefox is awesome!
The usability has been increased dramatically, the darkmode is awesome, the tabs handling ia great, the private mode is so handy to use now.
It fully replaced my other browsers. I love this update!

Two devils' fighting. I have no sympathy for any of them and will definitely not choose a site.

That's not stupidity, that's wisdom. VSCode simply knows that nobody would ever want to write "x == false" but rather "!x".

@mr-user They represent the age of this joke.

Vodafone is the first every time when it comes to blocking. I read that company name everywhere.

@Fast-Nop In contrast to "warum" the question for "weshalb" did not lose its focus on the reason. So we still have the two different meanings of "wozu" and "weshalb" in German. Nearly the same for "wieso", which also still has a (albeit more subtile) reason focus.
All in all this is a rather nice situation: We can ask for the reason, the purpose or whatever is the cause of what has happened.

Wouldn't hurt if that damaged both Apple and Intel, two companies that are way too powerful.

Ha!
I knew there are a lot of German devs here. But German spam? That's ridiculous!

Wait, do I get that right? You try again and again until you succeed once, after which you improve once, then you die?

Good I never trusted Brave in the first place. It looked fishy at the very first moment I read about it.

I will wait for the first update, which will usually come in June. It has been the last times with the LTS releases that they were not that stable at first but became better quickly.
I think that's the reason why the upgrade notifier only notifies as soon as the first update is out.
