Almost freaked out when I saw this, thought it could be a new VSCode feature.
Turns out, it's a special ligature feature of the Maple Mono font https://font.subf.dev/

"… In an 8 GB VM, FreeBSD used a non-trivial 1.8 GB of RAM. …"
For desktop use: a machine with 8 GB should be fine 👍
Screenshots here show a 1 GB machine running KDE Plasma with LibreOffice, vscode (Code - OSS), Firefox with YouTube and four other windows, htop in Konsole, and YouTube playing very smoothly in Konqueror.
After quitting everything except Konsole: less than 700 M real memory was used, some of which was ZFS ARC – a good thing.
This is not to recommend a …
Life with Visual Studio Code #VSCode
1. I learned about `code --disable-extensions. This helped pinpoint the selection issue to most probably an extension.
2. I have removed most of the extensions. I have Go, Java, Python, XML, YAML. Go is from Google, Java from Oracle, Python from MS, XML & YAML from RedHat. This is very interesting!
3. I still feel very lost in terms of shortcuts. I'm struggling to decide if I should introduce the ones I'm familiar with or continue to experience #VSCode
> (By the way; thank you so much for this project, it's enabled us to teach HDL as a small portion of an introductory course to digital logic which would have been much harder any other way!)
i'm very pleased about yowasp vscode extension actually being used for its intended purpose! i've kind of developed it and then thrown it onto the winds of fate
Who is using the mini-map in #VSCode and what for?
📈 Build dashboards: Visualize input/output token usage, sessions & conversations, total costs in USD, terminal type distribution (#VSCode, Apple Terminal), requests per user & tool type usage (Read, Edit, LS, Bash)
🎯 Real insights: Measure ROI & productivity gains, spot performance bottlenecks & reliability issues, track adoption trends & user trust via accept/reject …
Do you use LLMs to generate regular expressions? We do, too! Do you *review* your regexes? Is that frustrating? How can we put humans in the loop better, doing relatively few, meaningful tasks? Please try out our new tool PICK:regex, available for VSCode!

Vibe Coding mit KI-Programmierhilfen in Visual Studio Code ausprobiert.
Ich habe zwei KI-Assistenzen für die direkte Integration in VSCode getestet, ob sie meine Erwartungen erfüllen. Welche Lösung wirklich hilft, die Arbeit effizienter zu gestalten, zeigt sich erst beim Praxistest. Der Einsatz lohnt sich, doch nicht jedes Tool spielte so mit, wie ich es mir gewünscht hatte.

🛠️ Monitor logs & events: user prompts, tool results with accept/reject decisions, #API requests with detailed cost/duration/token counts, error tracking with retry attempts & tool decision patterns
⚙️ Setup options: Launch via #VSCode or terminal with environment variables, configure centralized #OTLP exports via #gRPC or #HTTP protocols, use administrator-managed settings for organization-wide control
