Just say no to those ligatures.
I actually love using them, especially with Fira Code.
Why? Not poking at you, just curious.
VS Code can do that?

#132Some other ones: - In the Git view, select a modified file, select some lines of code you modified, cmd shift P, Git: Stage Selected Ranges. I dropped my dedicated Git GUI since I know this trick. - If you spend a lot of time coding in React, and have half of your files named index.js, do yourself a favor, go in the settings and add "workbench.editor.labelFormat": "short" (display the name of the file's folder in all…
I keep hearing good things about VSCode. If I weren't essentially married to emacs I'd definitely try it out. I'm not sure I'd recommend emacs to everyone at this point, though I think it remains a really solid choice of editor/OS for people willing to get over the learning curve and put up with a bit of clunkiness. Re the git stuff though- one place that I'm pretty sure emacs is the uncontested champ is in git integ…
I started playing with emacs 24 years ago, then spent 20 years as a devoted vim user with a two year work-enforced gap in Eclipse. I tried spacemacs in evil mode about four years back and stayed for magit. I tried VSCode a few weeks ago to see what the fuss was about and had my Eclipse PTSD triggered. Magit, mu4e, elfeed, eww, multiterm, restclient.el, tramp, [edit]org-mode![/edit], the list of replacements for bloated "native"- and surveilling web-apps keeps growing. I mentor an up-and-coming developer who has learned more– about git, the filesystem, shells –in four weeks of using spacemacs than the 23 months of using Atom and VSCode. I know emacs in evil mode makes me smarter and more productive, and I'm seeing anecdotal corroborating evidence in my community.

There certainly should be a static page version. Especially since there is barely any interactive element to this, it's essentially just a list of links

There's also git lens, an extension that shows who committed any line of code and links to the commit

The audience for this site is front-end developers.
Front-end developers don't tend to view the web with NoScript. Just like 99% of users don't view the web with NoScript.

#137Earlier quoted context omitted.
Once upon a time, hitting insert resulted in the caret switching from line to rectangle to indicate input mode.
It used to be that normal mode was an underline cursor and insert mode was a vertical cursor, but now that I guess vertical cursors are everywhere, Sublime switches between a vertical cursor for normal mode and an underline cursor for insert mode. A bit of a drag, but I don't use insert much at all. One thing I'd like from the past is a blinking block cursor.
As a vim guy, and I say this because I think it makes more sense in vim, I think you mean insert mode (the “normal” mode) and replace mode (the “insert” mode). The fact that the insert is used to toggle out of the default insertion behaviour seems to add confusion.

Please know that no one really cares. You must realise you cannot expect to consume our applications but only on your own terms. Theres no contract saying you should ONLY serve HTML on the web.

I wasn't using the terms in the vi/m sense, but insert/replace does make more sense.

I'm building a pipeline that sends pages like this out to splash and returns the js-rendered html to my browser.
