How to get rid of annoying "newNode: node, offset: number" popup (intellisense?)

Question

When editing javascript with Visual Studio Code I continuously get a useless and obtrusive popup showing some sort of irrelevant method signature

It also won't go away when typing. Even escape won't remove it but clicking in some other code usually does.

My current user config looks as follows

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
    "python.pythonPath": "/home/ivo/Atom/bin/python",
    "python.linting.pylintEnabled": false,
    "python.linting.flake8Enabled": true,
    "python.unitTest.nosetestsEnabled": true,
    "python.unitTest.nosetestPath": "bin/django",
    "python.unitTest.nosetestArgs": ["test", "apps/"],
    "python.unitTest.unittestEnabled": false,
    "editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": false,
    "editor.fontSize": 13,
    "editor.renderControlCharacters": true,
    "editor.useTabStops": false,
    "editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters": false,
    "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": false,
    "editor.quickSuggestions": false
}

To stop showing the annoying hint popups, open "settings.json" in VSCode: (File -> Preferences -> Settings).

Add the following line to the setting file (including quotes), and save it:

"editor.parameterHints": false
