How to get better SASS intellisense in VS Code?

In Visual Studio (not VS Code), you get some green underlines on undeclared variables. When @import is used everywhere, this can be annoying in partials because pretty much everything will be undeclared until imported by your top level SASS file. But with @use (which I'm new to btw, so any guidance is welcome), it can finally be use-ful! Only problem is, VS still doesn't support @use. But I should really be using VS Code for this anyway... but in VS Code, I find the intellisense is even worse. No underlines for variables at all, and Go To Definition doesn't work on the variables even when @import or @use are used, which actually does work in Visual Studio, but only with @import. I figured the out-of-the-box SASS editor experience would be great in VS Code, but it's not. Are there some extensions you guys recommend to make it better?...

issue with docker not connecting to localhost

hi, I am trying to run a monorepo, frontend nextjs, backend postgreSQL with drizzle studio, docker containerizes both the database and the app. the project is a team project and everyone else from the team has no issue running the server.

Advice on setting up a monorepo

Hey there! I have a project that I want to divide into three parts (see picture) and an api / types directory. I did some research and a monorepo sounded like the best bet. I then got into turborepo and the set up is honestly pretty confusing and seems to be a lot more than what I really need. I just want some way that I can reference a shared types directory, a way to separate out the three components of my app, and a way to run all three from the root directory. Is there a no-bs way to do this that I can get up and running relatively easily?...

Hosting Godaddy(Yes, I know) domain on cloudflare.. issues once activated.

I copied the same process I used for my current portfolio which is using a squarespace domain (was google when I bought it) and I thought it was working, but as you can see I'm getting the connection issue. Now on my portfolio, I don't have any A, and my 2 CNAMES are callum-laing.com as the name, and the cloudflare pages site as the content. I tried doing the same for quackers but it wasn't letting me. Anyone more experienced with this able to help, please? or... if it makes things easier, is anyone experienced in moving a domain from godaddy elsewhere? happy to do so also if it makes this process easier....

Testing iOS simulation in React Native?

I read about iOS simulation for building apps in React Native and it seems impossible to simulate iOS apps without macOS? Surely can't be the case right? Does anyone know of some workarounds so I can develop and test on Windows?

General question about profiles on Github

Is it common for people to have a personal Github and one that they use to show employers? I’m just starting out with it and I’m not that familiar with it. I just learned that you should use a GitHub account to help you with professional opportunities. Which is why it’s said to be a good thing to use your real name and your picture. However, I see quite a bit of GitHub accounts with profile pictures that aren’t actual people and anonymous usernames...

Squarespace site ?

I know this will probably not be a successful ask but just wondering if anyone has a squarespace site they could give me access to a private page so I can get familiar with the the tools; I’m starting on a new project which will include creating a form with conditional logic on a squarespace site so id just like to spend an hour getting my feet underneath me if possible. I know it’s a lot to ask but thought perhaps someone has a site or a draft they don’t care much about and would be willing to take the risk. ✨...

Extension to display colours for oklch and oklab functions?

Is there an extension to display sample colours for functions like oklab and oklch in VSC? Quick googling doesn't show any results. For rgb and hex we get some examples of the colours as the screenshots attched below, but not for the rest, whihc's a tad annoying. If there is no such extensions, I could probably write one up as a fun project....

Wsl distro Installation issue:

I was able to run wsl --install and go through the installation process. That went pretty smooth. After installing I restarted my computer. And this is where I'm stuck. I have ran wsl --install -d in windows powershell. What I get back in "the requested operation requires elevation" guessing I need to run it as admin. But when I do, I get this message: No actions was taken as a system reboot is required. I had restarted my computer 2 more times afterwards and it's still the same. I'm lost now. I...

I just learned that windows and Linux are to different operating systems....
