What about the Surface Book?

the surface book is getting there but it still crashes occasionally when disconnecting the screen. not build quality per se but definitely not apple-like

I’ve had a Surface Book for five months or so and used it heavily, detatching it quite commonly; I’ve had it BSOD from detaching the screen once, 22 days ago. But I’m in the Insider Preview so I’m using pre-release software, so my experience is not necessarily representative. (It could plausibly crash more or less commonly.)

But on the build quality thing: I got a Surface Book because, as David said concerning the sword of Goliath, there is none like it. It’s not just build quality (which is really solid), it’s also the touchscreen and pen input and detachability.

They had to rollback the update: > Unfortunately, we needed to roll back the 1.7 release of VS Code. One of the great new features in 1.7 is the automatic acquisition of typing files when writing JavaScript and TypeScript. These typings files drive the IntelliSense (code completions) experience in the tool. The feature was so great that we started to overload the npmjs.org service. The right thing to do in the short…

Auto downgrade. That's a first.

When MS gets into something, they really get into it. VS Code has exceeded pretty much all my expectations with the pace it has been progressing at.

The biggest thing for me has been the consistency. They already had an amazing IDE (Visual Studio), then they buckled down and made an amazing paired-down version (VSCode). It works well, does all the things I'd want and then some. Compare to Google releasing a chat client / message handler (google voice app), another one (hangouts), taking away functionality (removing shared sms/hangouts convos), then releasing two…

I recently started doing more and more javascript font-end work as opposed to C# backend stuff. So, of course, I started with Atom. But I kept having issues with it, and ended up playing around with VS Code and loving it. As someone who really loves the C# language, I was really questioning if I liked VS Code just because it was Microsoft. Was I some kind of Microsoft fanboy? I'm glad to see a lot of the "front end"…

It really is remarkable. You wouldn't think that an editor based on the same engine would be this significantly better than atom, but vs code continues to defeat atom in performance and native features.

Have been using VSCode for months now and I like it a lot. Only thing I am missing coming from PhpStorm is a good merge tool. For some reason I found JetBrains' one really appealing and I struggle to find 3rd party ones that do not feel clunky.

Why not use git?

Sometimes your cheap shared hosts don't have git on the other end.

You should try Digital Ocean $5/month. Have root access, etc.

Is there a shared host cheaper than that?

Not a negative comment in the thread so far. That's amazing for something Microsoft, as anyone who's been around here can attest. There's a corner being turned here; time to buy MSFT?

VSCode is very good, free but doesn't make $ for share holder.

But you should check out the redit thread on Windows 10.

I couldn't find a good tutorial about using VSCode for Python development. I'd like to setup debugging, intellisense and the interactive shell, but the info is sparse. Do you have any suggestion?

Did this tutorial not cover everything you needed for VSCode?

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python

Also, not sure if you are on Windows, but regular VS + PyTools makes for a fantastic python IDE.

I've tried it, but I'm not as big a fan of the UX, so I'm sticking with Atom. Also, Atom is easier to customize to your liking, I've already written custom commands for it and modified the CSS. Also themes are lacking in VS Code. What I would like to see is Atom embracing the IDE to the same level VS Code is doing. If Atom had a proper debugger UX that all language could use, and better auto-complete. Those are the o…

VSCode supports TextMate themes, which there are very very many of.

Dear Microsoft, PLEASE native SFTP sync support. I will switch from Sublime permanently.

I've found the ftp-sync extension's sftp support adequate for my use so far. I've definitely found full-syncs to be a bit slow when there's a lot of stuff in the folder, but it seems ok so far.

That plugin is crap for any decently sized sync. It completely hangs and crashes VS Code.
