I need the intellisense to work, and I don't get the red underlines for invalid code. I haven't been able to find a list of extensions that makes it more like visual studio. It's a pain in the ass.

All of my projects are dotnet Core but with that plugin I do actually get intellisense too.
It could be you're using another version the framework or something, but try the plugin and see if it works. Good luck.

That's the one i have installed.

Slightly off topic...
I recently installed VSCode on a Ubuntu machine to play around with Python. The OS, browser, libreoffice, update manager, and a few odd games all run fine, but when editing a Python file, it takes FOREVER for each character to be displayed. While that program is running, I look at system performance and the CPU usage is in the single digits. Someone at the local computer fix-it store told me it is probably the video card. I've not experimented with it any further to verify.

I'm not sure about that, but I do have a high powered nvidia card that is well supported so I haven't seen that.

Me too. I'm working on a automotive C project compiled with its own toolchain and I still use VS as an editor, plus VisualAssistX.
Together they help a lot to navigate in complex project and / or spaghetti code (and we have both).

I've been reading a bit about AI from a "thought-experiment" standpoint, such as, "what will it really be like if we create intelligence"? As you think about it, it will be far different than most imagine.
Over the holiday weekend I've been reading this fantastic book:
Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era[^]
Some parts seem a bit "over the top" but it is a great thought-experiment book about what AI might be like. Very well written and interesting.
A few quotes from the book on how people attempt to make AI human-like:
from book: A prerequisite for having a meaningful discussion of superintelligence is the realization that superintelligence is not just another technology, another tool that will add incrementally to human capabilities. Superintelligence is radically different. This point bears emphasizing, for anthropomorphizing superintelligence is a most fecund source of misconceptions.
Therefore, anthropomorphizing about machines leads to misconceptions, and misconceptions about how to safely make dangerous machines leads to catastrophes.
Quote: You and I are hundreds of times smarter than field mice, and share about 90 percent of our DNA with them. But do we consult them before plowing under their dens for agriculture? Do we ask lab monkeys for their opinions before we crush their heads to learn about sports injuries? We don’t hate mice or monkeys, yet we treat them cruelly. Superintelligent AI won’t have to hate us to destroy us.
After explaining that every Asimov story ends up in unintended consequences related to the three guiding principles of robots...
Quote: Are Asimov’s laws all we’ve got? I’m afraid it’s worse than that. Semiautonomous robotic drones already kill dozens of people each year. Fifty-six countries have or are developing battlefield robots. The race is on to make them autonomous and intelligent.
Some people think, "well, why move forward in AI at all?" But as numerous authors explain, the "genie is out of the bottle" and someone will definitely move forward in it now.

It's not at all uncommon for the weekly poll to have many a user complain none of the answers are suitable - but this week's poll[^] is also an good illustration of how poll results can, by appropriate selection of answers, allow for false implications.
There is no way, in any manner, for anyone answering to express that they don't give a rat's ass about the topic (i.e., apple's chip change plan). One can look at the result and give results by percentage of what "programmers think about the change" - but that his implicit in it's meaning that "programmers" means most - or even all - programmers. So - if 90% couldn't care less - that most important piece of information giving true context to the poll - is omitted.
Now - in defense of the pollster, perhaps they use apple products and can't imagine anyone does not, so consider this post a specific example of a common ploy in polling (and who's paying for the poll).

This doesn't need an option because it is automatically implied on the basis that everone is a user of CP, and none of us care about Apple.
If you fall out of that category then just close your account, we don't need that kind of negativity here.

This is similar to earlier days when we used to get fat books called telephone directories. Some people preferred their numbers to be unlisted in those directories.
So, a poll of the those listed in the telephone directory, automatically excluded the unlisted ones.
|
|
|
|

How about "Doesn't fuss me", which is just another way of saying "I don't give rat's ass"? 
I think the only option that's missing is "I'm not an Apple developer".
Or they should make it clear in the question that this only applies to Apple developers.
|

The "I am not an apple developer" would have validated the poll, significantly.
The clarification option is weaker - and for our internal purposes it's fine. As a general pattern for poll taking, one should not have assorted version of "Yes" and no "No" option - because the clarification you suggested will not show directly in the data if it's used to make a point - and could be omitted.
But, you, at least, see my point. Not just this poll - but how polls are used to skew data.

But if you do not give a rat's behind, why would you answer the poll ?

I agree. I'd assume that only those that answered the poll have any interest in Apple (development). I don't, so I didn't.

That's the point I made - I didn't answer the poll - but I did comment on it.
I was noting, using this as an example, that a poll with a restricted set of options can give (or be used to give) false impressions.

So, if a straw-poll is not relevant to you, and your concerns, you are compelled to complain about it ?

"it figures" ? Apparently figuring is something you don't put much figuring into.
The relevance to me is not the subject - the possible misuse of data by, in the public forums of the world, skillfully crafted surveys to convey develop and convey false conclusions
However - your usual penchant to discredit my posts will predominate over 'figuring'.

I wouldn't say I couldn't care less about Apple.
I care approximately in the same way as I care about mosquitos.

Been all the weekend (not all of it, only a few hours) trying to figure out why changing a piece of code from display: none to display: block made the page to move left...
Checking the CSS, disabled code fragments to try to understand it...
The most strange was that in my laptop the behavior was different than in my external displays...
And suddenly I've understood the reason...
The ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing vertical bar was appearing and disappearing depending on the length of the content... (yes, I know this happens, usually  )
Added this in my body CSS: overflow-y:scroll;
OK, this can be considered solved...

What is CSS?

I've never seen, or heard of, a technology that's worse than CSS.
It's so bad I think we need to invent a new word to describe it.
Maybe CSS is just CSS and that says it all.
I'd rather develop a VB application with an Access database and Crystal Reports than type one cursed line of CSS that doesn't do what I intended anyway.
height: 100%; (CSS laughs at you, it doesn't do height unless EVERYTHING gets a height and then it'll mess up because you have some margin's or something!)
width: 50px; (CSS laughs at you again, maybe it does width, but only if all variables are exactly right.)
You want to stick something to the bottom of the page? HA HA HA YOU MORTAL FOOL! You'd best rewrite your entire HTML so you can apply exactly the required CSS to each element and ONLY that, for an extra div or an extra height property will damn you to heck!
Developing CSS is like playing D&D with a 20-sided die that only has 1's on it, but you don't notice so it seems as if you roll a critical miss every single time.
