Interesting, just received a 1.5.1 update. I wonder what happened to result in such a quick release. (Nothing in the release notes.)

what do you mean, can you explain? isn't that correct behavior if you rename the file?
In April I downloaded VSCode version 1.something, or whatever, and got VSCode-darwin-stable.zip. And now, today, I download VSCode version 1.5, and get... VSCode-darwin-stable.zip. Two files with the same name. Of course, Firefox renames them, so it's not like the older one got overwritten, but that extra little "(1)" isn't actually telling me much. This made me think of all the times I've downloaded this or that pap…
Same issue with setup.exe on Windows. I wonder if I could use machine learning to organise my downloads folder...
Re: Visual Studio Code 1.5
#143Just beating a dead horse here, but I really wish Microsoft would add "hot exit" for unsaved files. It's been in Sublime Text since 2011. Nearly all my Mac apps support this feature natively. Why, in 2016, if VS Code crashes, do I lose all my unsaved files. Especially when I want to treat an instance as merely a scratch pad for ideas. Supposedly it's Under Review . Hopefully, the next release has it. https://visualst…
Several people on the vscode team (including myself) miss this feature so I'm sure it will come eventually. Also we deprecated user voice recently, the issue is now tracked in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/101

I was about to try one of these fancy new browser based editors again, but now I'm confused. Shouldn't opening a directory be O(1)? I just opened the chromium trunk in sublime and it took 0.2 seconds, regardless of whether it was currently running or not. Why would one ever use a text editor that has perceptible latency when doing everyday tasks? 3 seconds isn't even latency, it's a freeze tbh.
I don't think being "browser based" as the reason that opening a directory is slow. A lot of traditional IDEs (cough Visual Studio cough) also have similar problems. I think they're doing a bunch of work (e.g. caching all subdirectories and files) but aren't doing it concurrently with the UI.

React may not have "native" support for TypeScript, but in combination with TypeScript using React is so much more fun, if only for the fact that your props can actually be typed and checked at compile time.
The standard recommendation seems to be to use PropTypes. And also in general, to use Babel with React programs. Would be interested to hear experiences of using Typescript with React.
I converted wes bos' react tutorial series to typescript with much success and learned a lot along the way. https://www.github.com/ryanluker/typed-catch-of-the-day

On this day and age many don't want to pay for tools. Sometimes I wonder if Emacs and Vi would be so appreciated if they were commercial as well, without any FOSS version available.
> On this day and age many don't want to pay for tools. Strange logic: if everyone followed that train of thought, we'd all settle for whatever quality tools are available so long as the price is $0. I'd much rather pay for a valuable tool than use a subpar free tool.
Thats a nice way to start a flame war: hinting that vi and emacs are subpar tools.

#147Congratulations on the release. I used VSC for a Typescript class.
While VSC, JetBrains IDEs, etc. are very nice, I have been going back to my late 1970s roots and been enjoying Emacs. Great language support for Haskell, lisps, etc. And very responsive.

#148I'm still holding out for Visual Studio for Mac.APP, not crummy Xamarin or a glorified text editor.
What would full Visual Studio get you that VSC does not? IMO, the main awesomesauce of VS, and its advantages over other IDEs and editors, are 1. The first-in-class debugger 2. Intellisense 3. Really good support for Windows-specific technologies like Win32 and COM VSC has 1 and 2 either now, or on its roadmap. As for 3, why do you want to develop for Windows on a Mac? I guess I don't understand what you need that VS…
I don't appear to be able to put the debugger windows wherever I want in VSCode, let alone create additional ones... so I'd say that VSCode isn't really a substitute :(

We recently improved this for Linux, the latest .rpm package for example is now named code-1.5.1-1473370243.el7.x86_64.rpm. This is a good suggestion, I created an issue :) https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/11722

Looks like it's mentioned in the article now:
"To fix an issue when the editor.fontSize is set to 0, we're releasing a 1.5.1 recovery build."
