I'd guess it chooses the implicit string(const char*) constructor and then feeds it a nullptr. I think the plan is to get rid of this in the future with the new nullptr_t/nullptr mechanism, but for now we're stuck with it.
To the first question, I simply assume my employer can see everything I do on the laptop they provided me. So, that informs everything I do or don’t do with it. I suppose I’m comfortable with that in the sense that it’s their property and I’m just using it. If there’s something I don’t want them to see me doing I use my own laptop.

This is an amazing guide to find misbehaving extensions and thank you for your work on VS Code.
It is not just the price - which might be OK for someone who uses it for several hours per day in a paid job but less palatable for those who don't get paid for their work or who only occasionally need it - but the mere fact that you need to get a license to use it instead of just downloading the thing and firing it up. It is one more step to take, one more thing to go wrong, one more dependency over free software. Given the prevalence of licensing conflicts and the stiff penalties demanded by copyright holders over such issues I tend to go out of my way to avoid exposure to such issues and use free software whenever feasible.

Decent list of biases on the work floor, although it does not seem to find ways out that much (just knowing about them and labelling them is only a start).

This part is pretty important for when it comes to addressing these issues though:

> I find the implicit goals more interesting because those are the ones that nobody talks about. If you’ve ever worked in a company, you’ll know that they are there for sure, but it’s something that nobody would openly admit. And that’s what makes them dangerous. Because nobody even admits these implicit goals, the reality that gets shaped by them is pretty biased.

How do you escape that mix of cultural and structural bias?

Put another way, the rest of us ostracize theology as a discipline, leaving its students to associate primarily with one another.
Graphical Emacs/VIM were installed on the CS lab machines when I was in college. I’m pretty sure they were part of the default programming environment setup at my first workplace. GUI versions of these apps behave a lot like regular Windows or Mac apps. You can save with CTRL-S, etc. I can totally see how someone could be very experienced in using it and never know there is a keyboard shortcut to quit apart from the ‘x’ on the title bar.

The question would have been better if it was directed to an Emacs feature for which graphical versions didn’t obey ordinary Windows conventions.

I wonder if there also is a place we can view the activation events of an extension from within VS code. If there isn't, I guess I can always find that info out from the hopefully available repository of the extensions.

Under current law that is already legal as long as they hold copyright. There is a grey area deciding what is artistic and what is prurient, but if ruled artistic, they could publish it in a book and sale in on Amazon.

But I think we should consider a major division between the rules of sharing information and the rules of possessing information. If I know how to make something bad, that shouldn't be wrong. If I share that for the sake of a discussion, that shouldn't be wrong. If I share it with someone who will use it to cause harm, knowingly aiding them in causing harm... well isn't that where we should say wrong has been done?
Nope. What changed was Kim got his credible deterrence and the much more pragmatic Moon replaced Park. Trump helped in that he got out of the way and may have offered significant concessions under the table; with that opening everybody including China jumped on it. Sanctions are for public consumption. The realty is it's anybody's guess how this ends, but if it goes the way it appears then Kim has won strategically.

I think even possibly more of a contributor than quantity is "theology major" is a much bigger part of a person's self-identity than "business major". The "business major" (like "communications major") often acts as a neutral default for "I don't know what I really want to do with my life but I still need to get my 4-year piece of paper."
An acquaintance, a decade ago, took about 5y off to go on a world tour. When he returned to London, his skills were so stale, he couldn't find anything.

After 6mth of hunting in vain, he wrote a CV focussed on his oldest skill -- Fortran -- and found a role in weeks. When he told me this, he'd been renewed 5 times and had been in a 6mth role for nearly 3 years. He suspected he'd be doing it for the rest of his working life.

I got a bunch of interviews around 2010-2011 for DEC OpenVMS sysadmin work. I do have VMS skills, but not high-level ones -- but companies were having real problems finding people to maintain their Alpha and Itanium servers. The demand was there.
I believe Eclipse has it's own Java compiler, so it was probably a compiler feature.

This is a false dichotomy.

The layers don’t stop because you choose one: you are biological, because you’re chemical, because you’re physical (which is more like saying you’re electrical).

Ie. Laws of physics govern the laws of chemistry and the first couple are chiseled in stone for the most part. Biology, that is to physics what psychology is to surgery (perhaps mathematics is a batter analogy).

You can’t choose that you are ‘just’ biological because it is the emergent property of deeper systems of rules.

Consciousness, now that is a debate for the philosophers.

You’re not alone. It’s just easier to chant “Moon Jae-in said it so it must be true”, and get enough voices to drown out any opposing views. This has been the driving strategy behind Trump’s base since the start.

Singing “Trump made this happen with his childish Twitter diplomacy” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

There is a blurry line between making something happen through direct action, and allowing it to happen through incompetence.

Exactly the problem with this blog post and the other similar initiatives preceding it. It's lipstick on a pig. Heart emoticons and "thanks" aren't going to improve the site.

Notes from Upgrading to Expo 26
So I'll throw in my two cents. I really liked Eclipse when writing Java programs for fun, and by myself. When Eclipse started to turn bad for me was using it in an environment wth a) other users and b) a build system outside of eclipse. Trying to use it with, say, Maven ended up with this strange combination of things that never quite worked right.

Either you would let Eclipse's black box maven plugin do the work (which half the time didn't seem to build for whatever reason) or run maven manually, which would build great, but then you'd always have to remember to refresh your Eclipse workspace in order to get the application to be picked up by your Tomcat config, etc. It was just cumbersome.
> "What document backend to use with Drupal?" is a question whose answers are in constant flux. It is a bad match for and Authoritative Language Compendium. But it's also the kinds of thing people wonder about, it's a relevant tech question, and the dialog around something like that is easily as valuable as the accepted answer since everyone is skinning a different cat.

IIRC, they did something like that. It was called programmers.stackexchange.com, and I used it a couple times and it was great.

Then some power-that-be decided it "wasn't working" (probably because it didn't fit the SO only-kind-of-good-question rubric) and changed the focus be a clone of SO with some minor difference in emphasis.
It's just that I don't think you realise that 50K is more than most people make in a year. For some people, even Europeans, it could easily mean doubling, or tripling their salary for a year. That's not just "a few tens of thousands of dollars", that's literally enough to ensure an easier life for a few years. Which is why I think you don't even realise it, but you're affluent (compared to world standards).
Nobody is arguing Google is the best at AI. You are arguing that translates to Google is the best at making chips. They aren't, and there's no evidence they are. Tensorflow is open source, and Nvidia contributes. Would you be willing to place a bet that more people run tensorflow on tpu or GPU?

Edit: and there are FAR more cuda users in general than tensorflow if you're trying to compare apples and oranges.

The article A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy ( http://www.shirky.com/writings/herecomeseverybody/group_enem... ) gets into that a bit.

One of the interesting bits in there is:

> The second basic pattern that Bion detailed: The identification and vilification of external enemies. This is a very common pattern. Anyone who was around the Open Source movement in the mid-Nineties could see this all the time. If you cared about Linux on the desktop, there was a big list of jobs to do. But you could always instead get a conversation going about Microsoft and Bill Gates. And people would start bleeding from their ears, they would get so mad.

Which can be seen in Stack Overflow (its the newbies that don't read that are messing everything up) and reddit (Stack Overflow aka Downvote and Duplicate). Each group is making their group stronger and a more firmer identification by vilifying the other group (merited or not).

This happens in all groups.

--

The "everyone is mean" nature of some of the communities, I believe, comes from further down in the 'three things to accept':

> 2.) The second thing you have to accept: Members are different than users. A pattern will arise in which there is some group of users that cares more than average about the integrity and success of the group as a whole. And that becomes your core group, Art Kleiner's phrase for "the group within the group that matters most."

> The core group on Communitree was undifferentiated from the group of random users that came in. They were separate in their own minds, because they knew what they wanted to do, but they couldn't defend themselves against the other users. But in all successful online communities that I've looked at, a core group arises that cares about and gardens effectively. Gardens the environment, to keep it growing, to keep it healthy.

> Now, the software does not always allow the core group to express itself, which is why I say you have to accept this. Because if the software doesn't allow the core group to express itself, it will invent new ways of doing so.

When the core group lacks the tools necessary to maintain the vision / success of the site as a whole, they are going to find other ways to defend themselves from excessive workload. The easiest way is to be rude to people so they go away (and the overall workload is reduced).

I believe that this pairs with the (misguided?) efforts of Stack Overflow to become more inclusive by lowering barriers to participate (see design for #3) and making it harder for the core group to moderate content (be nice, changing close reasons, removing 10k rep flagging assistance, reducing 15k rep protection ability, a diamond moderator culture of "if it got upvoted it shouldn't be deleted unless there's vote fraud").

This is a real issue.

In journalism, the career path is jr writer, writer, sr writer, jr editor, sr editor -- and then you go do management.

I was the IT Manager of a London stockbroker in the City by 26 years old. I didn't like it and ultimately quit.

But the expected career path for many companies is to go from being a "mere" techie to being a manager. If you don't want to do that, then age becomes a big problem.

I changed track to journalism, not knowing that the Web was going to kill the computer magazine industry within a decade. But short term, it was a good move, and I loved it.
Maybe he's just human and rationally wants himself and his family to get out alive? Anyone with a brain and a little knowledge of history can see how easily things can go badly for a dictator and his family.

If Kim Jong-Un can pull things off right, he and his familiy will be able to live out their lives without having to fear being deposed and murdered, probably keeping enough wealth to live in luxury for generations, and maybe going down in history as a well-regarded peacemaking hero on top of it all.

you should not end up in what is effectively a police line up just because your brother submitted his dna to the public domain. people should not be able to use information about his dna, in any way imaginable to infer anything about you.
Murray Gell-Mann described it completely: first, he wrote down the question, then he thought very hard, then he wrote down the answer. Feynman was acutely aware of the very different ways in which people internally model things - something that was, no doubt, heavily reinforced by the initial reception of Feynman diagrams at the Shelter Island Conference - so he didn't place any special importance on his own internal "sketching" models when describing things to others. (If anything, he probably viewed them about the same way he viewed Maxwell's mechanical model of electromagnetism - a useful thinking tool for someone who happened to think best in a particular mode, but ultimately nonsensical.) If he couldn't think of at least a couple of alternative ways of coming to the same answer, he usually left it as a sort of exercise for the student.

I'm going to guess the sanctions were actually biting the people in the upper echelons of NK leadership. Probably due to the fact that the Chinese were actually helping out in enforcing the sanctions on their border with NK. I've read that North Korea is run kind of like a feudal society, so long as Kim Jong can keep the military leaders happy with luxury goods and keep the military relatively well cared for. Once that stops happening, it can probably cause some extra anxiety for Kim Jong Un.

> One only has to look at the TypeScript support in WebStorm as an example of how bad things can get.

I'm a bit surprised by this statement. I've been using TypeScript in WebStorm/PyCharm for quite a while and have been really happy with it. Are there some big flaws I'm not noticing or specific valuable features that they're not adding? Compared with JS and Python, TypeScript coding feels much nicer (as you'd expect when comparing typed vs untyped languages). Comparing with IntelliJ Java, TypeScript support is maybe slightly less magical in one or two areas but seems pretty much on par. I haven't used VSCode enough to have a great comparison, but my impression is that WebStorm is a little more laggy but is more fully-featured.

Edit: I guess since the article was from a year and a half ago, that line may just be out of date.
