Imagine a protocol like , but for adding real-time collaboration to existing text editors. It would allow to edit a , or peer-to-peer pair programming between and !

We've come up with our own little protocol like that (for Teamtype), but we'd like to open up the discussion:

That's why we're inviting everyone interested to an initial online gathering on Feb 26, 19:00 UTC, to gauge interest for working on a protocol like this together!

This might be worth a PSA - if you use via Snap, every file you delete inside VSCode is not actually getting deleted. It goes to a "Trash" folder at ~/snap/code/current/.local/share/Trash and never (ever) gets deleted. Last year I found I had 44 GB in undeleted files, in the following GitHub issue this is happening to a lot of people.

There's been an open bug ticket for over a year: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/233649#issuecomment-3830929735

Odkąd jestem użytkownikiem Maka zastanawiałem się (i przeszukiwałem internety), czy jest jakiś edytor LaTeX-a o podobnej funkcjonalności, jak linuksowy Gummi. Bo Gummi to coś właśnie dla takich leni, jak ja – prosty, minimalistyczny, z podglądem na żywo. No i okazało się, że w zasadzie dodatek do VSCode, LaTeX Workshop, robi co trzeba. Co prawda podgląd na żywo – czyli tak po prawdzie generowanie PDF-a od nowa – jest uaktualniany dopiero po zapisaniu pliku źródłowego, ale co tam. Jedyny póki co minus, to niekompatybilność z innym dodatkiem do podglądu PDF-ów, vscode-pdf, ale wystarczy go wyłączyć.

No to polecam. Przy najmniej jak na ten moment. LaTeX Workshop jest dostępny z poziomu "repozytorium" dodatków.

I am so sick of having to hammer at ESC all day because wants to steal focus every few keystrokes for some popup I never wanted.

Does anyone know how I can make it stop being so obnoxious?

The feeling when someone with VS Code not configured for Python writes a statement into your code and pushes back the file reformatted according to JS conventions... 😭

Just talked with at Colorado Christian University. They’re encouraging me to use instead of for schoolwork, since Word has built-in dictation that could help when my flares up and typing gets hard.

To other folks: how do you remember all of Word’s keyboard shortcuts? I swear I spend more time navigating the ribbon than actually writing. I stick with LaTeX because I can remember commands better than shortcuts.

They said Word’s dictation is accessible, so I’m giving it a shot. But I’m also wondering: what reference managers do you use? I’ve been using since it works with and LaTeX, but I don’t know how well it integrates with Word — and definitely not with . My school has me doing a lot of -style presentations lately.

Would love tips from anyone juggling accessibility, citations, and academic workflows.

“GlassWorm isn't just another supply chain attack. It's using stealth techniques we've never seen before - invisible Unicode characters that make malicious code literally disappear from code editors. Combine that with blockchain-based C2 infra that can't be taken down, Google Calendar as a backup command server, and a full remote access trojan that turns every infected dev into a criminal proxy node.”

So... given that Win10 support is EOL, and I kinda want to avoid Win11... What's the take on Linux these days? I mostly use computer for C++ development: Visual Studio, Fork, Superluminal. What's the least amount of hassle? GPU is nvidia.

@aras Ubuntu is not a bad choice as a developer (It's what I've been using as .NET developer for over a decade now).
You'll have to give up Visual Studio and trade it in for . Or if you want a more Windows looking desktop, go with or
