For days I've been trying to find a solution to #VSCode / #VSCodium not adding the environment variable I added to the workspace… I literally tried every variation under the son, added it to any launch.json, settings.json and anything else I could find, but it just would. Not. Read it. And without it it won't find the Python modules if the conda venv.
Is there some magical thing I lack or is this program is plain awful?

The biggest thing stopping the #mac from being a good source for #gaming is actually the difficulty it takes in developing games that can run on the mac and run well. #Apple likes to tote there capabilities,but what they don't say is that #developing for the mac takes twice as long as to develop the same for windows, not to mention that on an accessibility scale, it is not easy to use #XCode to directly code on the mac, trust me, I've tried and i found it way easier to use #VSCode to make even basic programs whereas for the mac, using XCode to do the exact same thing is like 10 times slower and harder to do for the same amount of work simply because of navigation alone with #VoiceOver.

My new preferred #VSCode font family is Iosevka:
Using the non-extended width -- I've picked a larger font size, but more characters fit per line (which is nice when i have different files side by side).
Good ligature support too for many programming languages including #TypeScript #JavaScript #RustLang #Elixir (and many more I don't use frequently).

So it does look like the TypeScript language server has a limit of 4MB source size where it disables type checking (and actually shows an erroneous error stating that exports that exist in the file do not exist) for files that are imported but not open in the current workspace/session.
Still not sure if this is documented anywhere or not (haven’t been able to find it, if it is).
99.99999% of the time, unless you’re doing niche stuff like I am, you won’t run into this.
Workaround: should you have such a large file, e.g., with a large generated object, try and refactor to split it up into multiple files and rejoin it a separate file. The actual object size/memory usage isn’t the issue, it’s the file size.

Right, well, I can reproduce it with a simple example so I just filed a bug. Let’s see if it’s a known issue/limitation or what.
