essence_sentryon VSCode-Colab – Connect Google Colab and Kaggle to VS Code Securely

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).

essence_sentryon Years of life lost due to the psychosocial consequences of COVID19 mitigation

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.
