We're planning on switching the default in 1.109 with https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/287073 My main hesitation here was that really it's just a false sense of security …

Syntax highlighting should work if the highlighting is provided by a textmate grammar, it will not work if it's semantic highlighting provided by an extension and that extension re…

Didn't mean to come off that way, I know a lot of the decisions that were made. One thing I've got from this is we should probably open `/tmp/`, `C:\`, ~/`, etc. in restricted mode…

Good point about one off edits and logs, thanks for all the insights. I'll pass these discussions on to the feature owner!

AI certainly made everything in this area more complicated. I 100% agree about sandboxing and we have people investing in this right now, there's an early opt-in version we just la…

Some JIT notification to enable it and/or a status bar/banner was considered, but ultimately this was chosen to improve the user experience. Instead of opening a folder, having it …

It's intentionally prominent as you're in a potentially very degraded experience. You can just click the x to hide it which is remembered the next time you open the folder. Not hav…

> I don't have a flash of insight over what my risk exposure might be for what I'm opening at this moment Maybe I'm too close to it, but the first sentence gives a very clear outli…

"May" is the most correct word though, it's not guaranteed and VS Code (core) doesn't actually know if things will execute or not as a result of this due to extensions also dependi…

It's not just the .vscode folder though, the Python extension for example executes code in order to provide language services. How could this threat detection possibly be complete?…

VS Code team member here :wave: As called out elsewhere, workspace trust is literally the protection here which is being circumvented. You're warned when you open a folder whether …

Various settings are `restricted` in the codebase to only use them when the workspace is trusted. `allowAutomaticTasks` is one such setting: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blo…

> So, Lord have mercy on my soul if I have a new hire tell me "I don't know how to use the regular terminals. All I can use is VSCode's terminal." I think sometimes things should b…

One of the things we should definitely action is hiding it in more places where it doesn't work well, that's one of the key pieces of feedback we got and is tracked in https://gith…

Hi from the VS Code team - I recently went into detail about why we did this in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/282268#issuecomme... . We believe it'll be beneficial ove…

It's actually been the default since v1.55 which released early April 2021: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_55#_webgl-renderer-... Before that from v1.17 (~October 2017) i…

I think it was always a Google product https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/tree/9ff34c320811... . If I remember right it was an evolution of the page speed test site (can't …

I work on VS Code. We have a feature for this exact problem that enforces a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 via shifting the luminance of the foreground text by default https://cod…

I'm on the VS Code team and maintain xterm.js. Smooth scrolling in VS Code is primarily about animating scroll events such that scrolling with a mouse wheel doesn't just scroll an …

I'm on the VS Code team and maintain xterm.js which is what Hyper's frontend is based on. There are actually multiple developments happening in this area. First, there's a contribu…

Sounds like they meant its good news if you're not a mosquito magnet?

You can press f8 to view the problem in a "peek view" under the problem line, or view on the problems panel.

For many games, idle games are a special case though, I don't think anyone who plays an idle game would want the logic loop to pause. They typically take a long time to play so min…

You could look up activation events on the website, I don't think we guarantee anything relating to order other than that. Generally the order in which they're activated shouldn't …
