  • Regardless of what base you’re using, 10 is always the nth number. In base 10 (normal numbers), 10 is 10th. In base 2 it is the 2nd.

    1. 1
    2. 10
    3. 11

    In base 16 (hexadecimal) it is the 16th.

    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4
    5. 5
    6. 6
    7. 7
    8. 8
    9. 9
    10. A
    11. B
    12. C
    13. D
    14. E
    15. F
    16. 10

    The original joke is “there are 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don’t l” because 10 in binary is 2 in base 10. But they’re pointing out that a similar joke works for all bases of numbers.










  • Yeah, I don’t really get the argument here. As much as it sucks, it’s not nearly as morally reprehensible as something like weapons. If you don’t do it someone else will. It’s not something a handful of devs are gonna make a difference in by boycotting and it isn’t worth being fired over or not accepting a job over.

    Only Visual Studio Products Can Access the Extension Marketplace

    While all of the projects listed above support VS Code extensions, only Microsoft products can use and connect to Microsoft’s Extension Marketplace. The terms of use for the Marketplace prevent any non-Visual Studio products from accessing it.

    Gitpod employs a workaround where users upload .vsix files to install extensions. This causes unnecessary overhead as users have to download the files from GitHub, then upload them to Gitpod. Downloading extensions from the Microsoft Marketplace for any use other than in Microsoft products is prohibited as well.

    Most extensions are developed by communities and published under permissive open source licenses. The requirement to distribute and access these community-owned extensions in a system with such restrictive terms of service does not seem right.

    Our goal is to resolve this issue by hosting an open source extension registry at the Eclipse Foundation, a vendor-neutral organization. We’re doing this through the Eclipse Open VSX Registry project.
