VS Code Notes

The following are some notes regarding my setup within VS Code for anyone that is curious.

Settings

Workbench->Tree:Indent: 20. I like a little more indentation than is default -- it's easier to see diferrent levels / folders
Files->Exclude: I omit certain things from the VS Code Explorer to make focusing on the code easier:

 **/.git

Hiding Twitter ads (January 2023)

Ads on post-Elon Twitter are becoming more and more obnoxious. You can hide them if you use a content blocking extension, such as the awesome uBlock Origin.

By targeting the little icon that appears near the "Sponsored" label, the filter works on Twitter in every language.

Simply add the following rule to your ad-blocker:

! 2023-01-02 https://twitter.com

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
