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.

26 -> 6 #vscode extension remains after a lots of years unhandlig removals... So, what's you vscode extensions?
I mean, I don't necessarily *want* to dump #vscode in favor of #neovim, but vscode uses so much memory and cpu, especially with remote or #container #development. But here I am, learning how to configure neovim. I guess I'm learning #lua too. #programming #ide

and to run with #systemd:

After this, you can open http://[ipaddress]:8000
Note: if you want to restrict this, you can modify the service to bind to only host 127.0.0.1 or something like your Tailscale IP address.
Users of Cursor just hit a wall. A single line buried in a 485-line JSON file of one of Microsoft’s language service extensions for VSCode broke its compatibility with Cursor. The community is now recalling a phrase from Microsoft’s darker history: embrace, extend, extinguish. But is it really that bad?
️ GitHub Copilot Adds Agent Mode and MCP Support in VS Code
#devdigest #azure #cloud #microsoft #ide #vscode #visualstudio #git #github
The latest proprietary #VSCode extension that no longer works in non-Microsoft builds of the MIT licensed VS Code source code appears to be C and C++ support.
Your regular reminder: every day more of VSCode functionality is proprietary, and increasingly #FOSS hostile.
Huge day for #vscode and #GitHubCopilot. Agent mode is GA and MCP and Code Reviews. So cool seeing Satya vibe coding!
