Oh c'est une belle façon d'intégrer NullAway (qui est sinon vraiment pénible à ajouter dans un POM, comme le montre d'ailleurs l'article) https://ik.am/entries/900/en #article #maven #plugin #nullpointer #intégration

Oh, joy! 🎉 Another ode to the almighty null pointer, where we learn that catching them is as easy as catching a cold in winter 🌨️. But wait, the "Billion Dollar Mistake" is just a misunderstood little rascal 🙄, because, really, who needs memory safety when you have "individualelement mindsets" to blame? 😂👨‍💻

the #jetblue app page with my options for my rescheduled 6am flight (experienced this at 4:30 am and didn’t bring me joy from a UX experience ?). wish people would test these things with a little more imagination. I assume another industry standard #nullpointer.

Just saw that the Java/JDK developers are finally tackling the billion dollar mistake.

String! good = "this is never null";

It is listed for Java-25, hope this gets done.

I have one annoying problem with people bashing C/C++ with regard to NULL pointer.
NULL pointer is *C* problem.
C++ has references since forever. Here the problem is programmers not using them. If a *C++* function takes a pointer as a parameter and does not allow it to be nullptr, it's a bug - it should take a reference instead.
std::optional is still newish, so give some slack to pointers still.
