   - Live Share: Collaborate on the same file remotely with other developers.
   - Rewrap: Helps rewrapping comments and text lines at a specified character count. Note that to get it working it will be necessary to add [rulers](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/tips-and-tricks#_vertical-rulers).
   - GitLens (or GitLess): Adds more Git functionality. Some of the GitLens functionality is not free, and GitLess is a fork before the addition of these premium features.

   - Use `set.seed()` from R to set the seed and investigate using {rstream} to generate multiple streams of random numbers to associate distinct streams of random numbers with different sources of randomness. {rstream} was specifically designed to address the issue of needing very long streams of pseudo-random numbers for parallel computations. See [the rstream paper](https://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~lecuyer/myftp/papers/rstream.pdf) and [RngStreams](http://www-labs.iro.umontreal.ca/~lecuyer/myftp/streams00/) for more details.
