I often wanted to code in VS Code while using Google Colab or Kaggle runtimes, but getting a clean connection without weird hacks was messy.

So I built [`vscode-colab`](https://github.com/EssenceSentry/vscode-colab): a tiny Python library that uses official VS Code Remote Tunnels to connect Colab/Kaggle sessions to your local or web VS Code securely.

- No SSH hacks - No 3rd party servers - Just `pip install`, `login()`, `connect()`, done.

You can clone and push to private GitHub repos directly once connected (thanks to GitHub auth).

Works even in Kaggle (with a fallback if clipboard access fails).

Happy to hear feedback!

I'd never though this asked in HN, but it says a lot about how much "nerds" we are.

Based on correlations of interests this should be the best place to ask..

I love it guys, please take my money!

I am putting together some helper functions to make it easier to work in Colab. Take a look. I'm looking forwards to any suggestions.

Have a look at this: https://apps.cygnius.net/passtest/

They simply sum all the years of life lost. That would only be valid if the causes of life lost were independent which is not the case.

Just Chrome, the main reason: synchronization with the desktop.
