Who's actually using #Ruby LSP in #VSCode to run tests?

I am trying it out today and its command to run all tests from current file seems to be running *each test scenario* in a separate process. This means that running all tests is dead slow.

Am I doing something wrong?

A screenshot from test results in VS Code using Ruby LSP extension showing that running all tests from sentry_spec.rb file takes 49s instead of less than a second.

Lately, I've been using LLMs more for code investigation than for code generation. Here's Augment in VS Code spitting out a code flow diagram instantly instead of me jumping between files and building a mental model in my head to understand what's going on.

Screenshot from VS Code and Augment AI chat where I used a prompt "investigate how Scope#apply_to_event is called and give me a mermaid diagram representing the code flow" to quickly see code flow in Sentry Ruby SDK.

Microsoft subtracts C/C++ extension of VS Code from forks like VSCodium and Cursor:
theregister.com/2025/04/24/mic
(Wonder how long it will take for them to deny access to the whole extension store at this point... I already considered looking for alternatives to VSCodium, but all alternatives either don't have split view or website preview feature (even with extensions), so it's not that easy for me to switch. But maybe I'll do a research again and see e.g. if Pulsar already has some Live Server replacement, or maybe a custom localhost solution independent from any code editor, will see.)

Indian court orders a ban on Proton Mail, because of some bad actors sharing deepfakes via the service:
news.itsfoss.com/india-proton-
(What a BS excuse to ban a service. Why don't just ban the whole Internet at this point because of some scumbags doing malicious stuff? But of course this was just an excuse to get rid of an encrypted service, this isn't the first time the Indian government does this, they already banned Proton VPN earlier.)

I recently enabled Copilot in VSCode for a project I'm working on, to try it out. This is all intended to be open-source, so there's no worry about someone training on proprietary data, etc.

Maybe it's because I'm writing lower-level code in Rust, but so far, Copilot's recommendations have been a really mixed bag.

Often, it'll offer to fill in some boilerplate, and that's totally useful because- it's Rust, of course there's a lot of boilerplate.

But then, it will occasionally recommend a *shit ton* of code that just...doesn't do anything useful, at all. And because it "takes over" the tab key, I often end up deleting a bunch of stupid code it wrote, only to have it immediately recommend putting it all back. Maddening.

I'm sure I can configure it to be less-annoying, but there are about *one million* settings in the extension, and I don't want to spend all day trying to negotiate a reasonable UX.

so I joined this new gig, code is a f* mess, Gova (#Go #GoLang ala #Java) all over, all good, we can refactor and such, but, man, I cannot use #JetBrains IDEs, for some reason seems like I need to get the death pope’s permission to, first, get a license and second, that they let ne use it, worst than that, I cannot use my own license cause is “personal”, worst than that, they force me to use #vscode, 🙃🔫

Upgraded to the M4 Mac with Sequoia and now all my Jupyter kernels in VSCode do this ”missing module ‘jupyter_server.contents’". Suggestions? Running Jupyterlab from the terminal started working again after running `conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab`, but in VSCode it is still broken. #vscode #jupyter

The kernel failed to start due to the missing module 'jupyter_server.contents'. Consider installing this module. View Jupyter log for further details.
