'Top Chef' contestant Joe Sasto reveals the secret of his handlebar moustache
The buzz around Joe Sasto has nothing to do with his mustache, but we ask him about it anyway. (Photo by: Tommy Garcia/Bravo)
By Sandra Barrera | sbarrera@scng.com | Southern California News Group
PUBLISHED: December 12, 2017 at 7:19 a.m. | UPDATED: December 12, 2017 at 7:19 a.m.
As the new contestants stepped into the kitchen for the Season 15 premiere of Bravo's "Top Chef" in Colorado on Thursday, Dec. 7, Los Angeles' own Joe Sasto immediately stood out, even before he got cooking.
Sasto, who is chef de cuisine at the just-opened Adam Sobel's new Cal Mare in the Beverly Center, sports a waxed moustache with a distinctive handlebar curl.
It's a look he's been cultivating for the last five years.
"I used to grow crazy facial hair all the time back when I was in college," he said, adding his ever-changing appearance became a spectacle among friends at the University of California at Davis.
For a few days, he said, "I went with an infinity beard where the beard goes all the way around and up to the top of your head and then everything else is shaved; quite ridiculous."
But the handlebar moustache stuck, and it's certainly eye-catching.
"That's a very special moustache," said Tanya Holland, the chef-owner of Brown Sugar Kitchen in Oakland during the premiere of the Emmy and James Beard Award-winning series following 15 chefs from diverse backgrounds.
"He looks like a Brooklyn bartender," added Tyler Anderson, chef-owner of Millwright's Restaurant and Tavern in Simsbury, Conn.
"He looks like one of those guys that used to tie up the ladies to the train tracks," said Chris Scott, chef-owner of Butterfunk Kitchen in Brooklyn.
Sasto said that he couldn't imagine being without his coiffed moustache.
As he put it, "It took over and now has a mind of its own."

West Midwood is a planned community and historic enclave in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. West Midwood is located in central Brooklyn in the southern edge of the community of Victorian Flatbush, abutting the northern boundary of the community of Midwood.[2][3] It is bordered by Foster Avenue to the north, the BMT Brighton subway line (B and Q trains) to the east, Avenue H to the south, and Coney Island Avenue to the west.[4] West Midwood is located south of Prospect Park within what is sometimes referred to as Ditmas Park.[5]
West Midwood, along with other neighborhoods within Ditmas Park, is policed by the 70th Precinct of the New York City Police Department.[6] West Midwood is part of Brooklyn Community District 14.[1]
Spurred by its success developing Vanderveer Park, the first Victorian Flatbush neighborhood, in 1899, the Germania Real Estate and Improvement Company (Germania) purchased the land on which West Midwood and neighboring communities Midwood Park and Fiske Terrace were to be built.[7] The land was purchased from the Lott family's extensive farmland holdings, which dated back over 200 years to Peter Lott, who migrated to Flatbush, from Holland in 1652.[8] V'lacks Bos (Anglicized Flatbush), meaning "wooded plain" in Dutch, also carried the name Midwout (Anglicized Midwood), meaning "middle-woods" in Dutch, and the names both reflected the wooded nature of the area and contrasted against Flatlands, an area to the south that was devoid of woods.[9]
In addition to development by Germania, between 1905 and 1908, architect and builder Thomas Benton Ackerson's eponymous T.B. Ackerson Company, simultaneously built and sold forty-two detached homes along Westminster Road in West Midwood for $10,000 each.[7] Design and construction of these houses conformed to Ackerson's "village in the city" vision and houses were graced with columns and fine details.[10][11] Similarly, Germania advertised the neighborhood as "country living in the city." To maintain its suburban aesthetic, utilities and train tracks were kept underground and streets were lined with trees, mainly London Planes and maples. Further keeping with the park-like ambiance, the original property deeds forbade construction of front yard fences.[11]
In keeping with West Midwood's small-town character, residents host annual community-building events such as a Progressive Dinner, a Halloween Parade for the children of Flatbush,[12] and a summer block party, in addition to publishing a seasonal newsletter, among other activities. New residents are invited to join the West Midwood Community Association, which dates back to the neighborhood's early years.
Transportation[edit]
New York City Subway stations serving West Midwood are Newkirk Plaza (B and Q trains) and Avenue H (Q train). MTA buses traveling through the area include the B8 and B68.[13] Bike lanes connect West Midwood to greater Victorian Flatbush, Cortelyou Road, Prospect Park and its Parade Ground, Brooklyn College, and Ocean Parkway.[14]

Available. Expected delivery to the United States in 5-8 business days.
For readers of David Wong, Paul Beatty, and George Saunders, an electrifying and wholly original collection of satirical stories that create a bitingly funny portrait of American racism, capitalism, and politicsFramed as a reference work of humorous "entries" that offer trenchant social commentary, Everything Abridged presages a dark vision of the near future but tells jokes in the face of it: An intelligence agency operative uncovers a conspiracy to generate conspiracies and realizes his participation in the scheme. A Caribbean monarch meets four decades of American presidents and adjusts his country's foreign policy accordingly. Experiment participants are asked to bring back a gun as quickly as possible. A copywriter on a space colony advertises a weapon with the potential to destroy his home during an intergalactic war.These and other linked stories, many of which feature a speculative bent-about being Black in America, law enforcement practices in an android society, Olympic speed walking, consumerism, nuclear war, and more-are interspersed with hilarious, one-line definitions for words ranging from abolition to zygote, creating a sharply humorous portrait of American inequality. With his singular wit, sharp prose, and shrewd observations, Dennard Dayle captures the struggles his characters face to keep hold of their sanity in a society collapsing into chaos and absurdity.

Why are you still reading the cover and not the inside?"-- "Susan Choi, National Book Award-winning author of Trust Exercise"

Modelling Geothermal Systems
Andrew Rae & Peter Johnson
To explore underground geothermal reservoirs and understand the natural processes of a geothermal system requires a way to visualise the subsurface environment and simulate underground processes. 3D computer modelling is the critical tool used for these visualisations and simulations, which conceptualise how the system "works".
Conceptualisation offers explanations for processes such as subsurface fluid flow directions, interactions between different parts of the reservoir (e.g. upflow vs. outflow), the types of geothermal surface features (e.g. hot water springs, mud pools, steam vents, etc), and predictions for where the hottest part of the reservoir is located, and its depth. It also provides insights into information gaps and highlights the datasets required to fill those gaps.
3D Visualisation Models
3D visualisation models are a way to visualise and integrate many different spatial datasets (including any attribute with x,y,z coordinates) on a single platform.
These can include surface and subsurface data and information, including digital terrain models, geological maps, cross-sections and well logs (e.g., rock types, minerals), geophysical data (e.g., resistivity, gravity, magnetics, seismic tomography), geothermal fluid chemistry, and reservoir information (e.g. temperature, feed zones). The modelling process allows for interpolation between data points to build block volumes and isosurfaces (which represent points of equal values in a 3D surface).
Spatial relationships between selected datasets are easily viewed and manipulated, which lets the user assess interactive relationships between datasets and explore the on-going processes within a geothermal system. Models are used to assist with decision making during any stage of a geothermal system development, from the initial stages of exploration through to management of the producing geothermal field.
A 3D visualisation model displaying a variety of different datasets and interpolated volumes and isosurfaces. The model shows a volume categorised into rock types (the different green coloured strata), with geothermal wells (labelled GNS and a number) showing measured downhole temperatures. Temperature isosurfaces (the contour lines) have been interpolated from the measured temperatures to highlight the location of the hottest part of the geothermal system. Also represented are interpolated isosurfaces of mineral occurrences in the geothermal reservoir. [Image supplied by GNS Science]
3D Numerical Reservoir Models
3D numerical reservoir models simulate reservoir processes, such as heat and fluid flow through a volume of rock, and are based on scientific laws, such as Conservation of Mass and Energy. These models are calibrated using real data.
In a numerical model, the area of interest is split, or discretised, into either points or small volumes, and the governing equations are solved for each of these. Rock properties, such as porosity, permeability, specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity, are assigned to all parts of the model. Sometimes this is done using a 3D geological model such as those visualised above, but other approaches are used. In recent times, much effort has been devoted to investigating the uncertainty in the rock properties in the parts of the model where there is no information, such as between wells.
Once the spatial properties of the model are defined, the user specifies other boundaries. For example, at the top of the model, atmospheric pressure, average temperature and some form of precipitation may be defined. At the bottom of the model, heat sources are added based on the best estimate of the location and temperature of hot upflows at the base of the geothermal system. Other features, such as wells, rivers, clay seals and faults, can also be built into the model.
Example of a geothermal reservoir model. The rectangular blocks are model elements, coloured by the model temperature of the block. The heavy black line indicates the boundaries of the reservoir. (Image from Burnell, J. 2021. Rotorua Geothermal Reservoir Model, in prep).
Numerical reservoir models are commonly calibrated to pre-development measurements of temperature and pressure in wells (i.e. the natural state of the geothermal reservoir before fluid extraction). After heat and fluids have been extracted from a geothermal system, the model can be calibrated using ongoing measurements of heat (enthalpy) and steam flow.
A well-calibrated model gives the user confidence that the model is appropriate for forecasting future reservoir responses to changes, including management decisions. It is important to note that many different sets of parameters can produce a good model calibration, which means that a range of outcomes are possible for forecasts of the future. Uncertainty analysis techniques are used in models to explore the range and likelihood of different outcomes.
Using Models
We ask questions of models, such as:
How do geothermal systems form and why?
What fundamental processes occur in geothermal systems?
How do geothermal systems interact?
How will a system respond to fluid extraction and injection?
In the Geothermal:The Next Generation research programme, we are creating, testing and using a range of geological, geophysical, chemical and reservoir models to better understand deep geothermal systems in the Taupō Volcanic Zone.

}

I thought it was because I couldn't draw the cube. I checked the codes again, but there is no problem drawing the cube.

A: The cube is not in the viewing volume. If you do not specify a projection matrix, the viewing volume is a unique cube around the camera position, aligned along the line of sight. Any geometry that is not in the viewing volume is clipped. You must set up a projection matrix. The projection matrix defines the volume in the scene that is projected onto the viewport. An orthographic projection matrix can be set with glOrtho. A perspective projection matrix can be set with glFrustum or gluPerspective. The perspective projection matrix defines a Viewing frustum. e.g.:
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
float aspect = (float)width / (float)height;
gluPerspective(90.0, aspect, 0.1, 10.0);

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
gluLookAt(4, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0);

EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT - BARBELL COMPLEX 🏋🏼♂
Elite Individual - Event 3
3 attempts for max load of:
3 cleans + 2 front squats + 1 jerk (shoulder-to-overhead)
Beginning with the first two athletes, lifters will have one minute to complete the complex (front and back platforms). At the start of the next minute, the next two athletes will lift. When all athletes have completed their first attempt, the cycle repeats, starting with the first two lifters again. This sequence continues until all athletes are given three lifting windows.
Athletes may only take one attempt at the complex per lifting window. An attempt is considered to be started once the bar has left the ground for the first clean. Athletes may not re-attempt with the time remaining after a failed lift. As long as the bar has left the ground before the 1-minute lifting window ends, any successful attempt will count.
Additionally, athletes do not have to make an attempt during each lifting window. Athletes may choose to reduce the load on the bar for their next attempt after a failed lift.
NOTE: Power cleans, squat cleans, and split cleans are permitted.
*Platforms pre-loaded to 225lb/100kg (men), 125lb/55kg (women). Athletes allowed to begin loading their first attempt as soon as they have taken the comp-floor.
**If the athlete steps off of the platform at any time while lifting it is an immediate no rep.
The athlete's best successful lift will be their score for the event.
Elite Team - Event 4

*If one or both lifters completes the ladder, one attempt at the 11th platform is earned. During the next 1-min rotation the athlete will rest and declare the load they wish to lift. After the minute of rest, they will have from 0:00-0:25 seconds to complete the lift.
**If both lifters on a team complete the ladder, the team must choose 1 athlete to attempt the 11th lift.
The pair of athletes on the first team will start standing behind the first platform. After the countdown of 3-2-1-GO, the first athlete will have 25 seconds to complete the lift. At the 25-second mark, the second athlete will have 25 seconds to lift. If an athlete is successful, they will move to stand behind the next platform. At the 50-second mark, the next pair will enter and wait behind the first platform. After a 10-second transition (at the top of the minute), the cycle begins again. This cycle continues until both men cannot complete the lift.
Athletes may take as many attempts within their allotted time as they would like. If at any point an athlete fails to complete the lift within the designated time, they will exit the field of play and their teammate will continue without them, maintaining their lifting order.
If an athlete completes the entire ladder, after the 10-second transition, they will be given the next minute as rest where they will declare the load they would like to attempt at the 11th platform. At the 11th platform, athletes will have from 0-25 seconds to make the lift.
After the men have finished, the platforms will be reset and the women will complete the workout in the same fashion.
After the women have lifted, the team's score will be the total of each of the four teammates' heaviest successful lift.
Pairs Barbell Complex 🏋🏼♀🏋🏼♀
Pro Pairs - Female Event 1 / Male Event 2
Pro Am Pairs - Female Event 1 / Male Event 2
Masters Pairs - Event 1
Emerging Pairs - Event 2
Beginning with the front 5 platforms, both athletes in each pair will have 90 seconds to complete the complex. When the teams on the front 5 platforms have completed their first attempt, the cycle repeats, with the back 5 platforms making their first attempt in the same fashion. This sequence continues until all pairs teams are given 3 lifting windows.
Athletes may only take one attempt at the complex per lifting window. An attempt is considered to be started once the bar has left the ground for the first clean. Athletes may not re-attempt with the time remaining after a failed lift. As long as the bar has left the ground before the lifting window ends, any successful attempt will count.
*Athletes allowed to begin loading their first attempt as soon as they have taken the comp-floor.
The pairs score will be the total of each of the two teammates' heaviest successful lift.
Teens Barbell Complex - Event 4
Beginning with the front 5 platforms, athletes will have 90 seconds to complete the complex. When the athletes on the front 5 platforms have completed their first attempt, the cycle repeats, with the back 5 platforms making their first attempt in the same fashion. This sequence continues until all athletes are given 3 lifting windows.

ZRVP Wins Lawsuit For Former Pension Fund Manager Against ASF
Publication: Hotnews.ro
Raluca Tintoiu, the former head of NN Pensii, the company that received the biggest ever fine issued by Romania's Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF), won the final battle in court against the authority.
The Supreme Court of Justice denied on Thursday, 26 November 2020, ASF's appeal and upheld the decision issued in October 2018 by the Bucharest Court of Appeal. The court decided to cancel the RON 100,000 fine imposed on Tintoiu, as well as undo the professional ban. It also ordered ASF to pay her EUR 1,000 in moral damages.
"We won, the decision issued by the Court of Appeal was upheld", stated Cosmin Vasile, lead counsel and coordinator of the team of lawyers (Alina Tugearu, Andra Constantinescu) defending Raluca Tintoiu.
During Tintoiu's tenure as the head of the company, NN Pensii was hit with the biggest fine in the history of the ASF for warning its customers about the public talks on the possible nationalisation of the private pension funds. In 2017, Tintoiu sent a newsletter to all the fund's contributors, in which it asked them to carefully watch the Government's and the political rulers' intentions with the private pensions Pillar 2. She was sanctioned only two days later, after Social Democrat Party (PSD) leader Liviu Dragnea said it was not true the Government was planning to nationalize the private pension funds.
In April 2017, ASF issued a RON 750,000 fine for the company, withdrew Tintoiu's general director license and gave her a RON 100,000 fine.
The withdrawal of the license meant that she could not take a top management position in the financial sector for the next 10 years, where all such positions are authorized by the ASF or the National Bank of Romania (BNR), or authorities in other countries.
Soon after her sanctions, three former ministers disclosed several options "were on the table" about the private pension funds. The Government ended up lowering the salary percentage transferred to private pensions from 5.2% to 3.7% in 2018.

Facebook wants your nude photos to fight '˜revenge porn'
Thursday, 24th May 2018, 10:17 am
Facebook is urging users to send the company their nude photos to combat so-called 'revenge porn'.
The social networking site will store a "fingerprint" of images to prevent any copies of them being shared by disgruntled ex-lovers.
Site experts will give each snap a unique code '" stopping it ever being uploaded again by a vengeful ex.
Facebook says it will wipe images from its servers after seven days.
Open to UK users
Following a trial last year in Australia, the pilot scheme is now being rolled out to the UK, the USA and Canada.
In the UK, it will be run with the aid of the Revenge Porn Helpline.
Recent research found people were falling prey to abusive behaviour on a "mass scale", and that both sexes were equally likely to be targeted.
Adults who have shared nude or sexually explicit photos with someone online, and who are worried about unauthorised distribution, can report images to the Revenge Porn Helpline, who will in turn share it with Facebook.
They then securely send the photos to themselves via Messenger - a process that allows Facebook to "hash" them, creating a unique digital fingerprint.
This identifier is then used to block any further distribution on Facebook, Instagram and Messenger as a pre-emptive strike against revenge porn.
"We're using image-matching technology to prevent non-consensual intimate images from being shared," said Antigone Davis, Facebook's head of global safety.
Innovative experiment
Ahead of the pilot, Prof Clare McGlynn, an expert from Durham Law School, described it as "an innovative experiment".
"I welcome Facebook taking steps to tackle this issue, as it has often been very slow to act in the past," she told the BBC.
"However, this approach is only ever going to work for a few people and when we think of the vast number of nudes taken and shared each day, this clearly isn't a solution."

Democrats' Senate allies are unsuccessful to advance a bill he says would stop big business and foreign interests from flooding US elections with piles of campaign cash. Lawmakers voted 57-41 to end debate on the legislation, falling short of the 60 needed to move to final passage of the so-called DISCLOSE Act bitterly opposed by Republicans as an stealth effort to rig the November elections.
All 40 of the chamber's Republicans contradicted the measure, while Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid voted against it in a tactical move enabling him to bring the bill up for a similar vote at any time — perhaps this week. Senator Joe Lieberman, who often votes with Democrats, and Republican John Ensign — were not present. Some Democrats have indicated they will vote against the bill in the final ballot, which would require just 50 votes to pass. The bill would require any political organization to make their donors public and ban foreign controlled corporations and government contractors from making political donations. The measure was a Democratic response to a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that critics feared would open the floodgates for millions of dollars in special interest money to taint looming congressional elections. "Big corporations — even foreign-controlled ones — are now allowed to spend unlimited amounts of money on American elections," Obama said in a personal appeal for the measure on Monday. "They can buy millions of dollars worth of TV ads — and worst of all, they don't even have to reveal who's actually paying for the ads." The House of Representatives passed the bill in June. The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in January held that corporations could dip freely into their general funds to finance campaign ads either in support or against a particular political candidate. The ruling is expected to result in an even more intense barrage of campaign ads than usual in the run-up to mid-term congressional elections later this year, and in Obama's 2012 reelection race.


Best Way to Contact You: (Forum PM/AIM/Facebook/Email/other) Email, FB messenger, Skype, it doesn't really matter.
eWrestling Experience: CSWA, SCW, HEW (as President), been around the scene for a while I know a lot of guys here and around the forums.
How did you find DEFIANCE? Justin Buitron and Brian Wade put me on.
Gimmick: A mysterious and masked man with a temper. Emerging in the Japanese scene about four years ago little is known of the strong style competitor, other than he is not Japanese. Clearly a caucasian man with some technical background and some potentially manic tendencies.
Wrestling Style: Technically proficient and works strong. He has some heel tendencies and will not hesitate to cheat, run and or show a mean streak.
Temper: His temper can easily get the best of him causing DQ's or a lapse in judgement leaving an opening for his opponent.
ADD: Short attention span, prone to mini-manic episodes losing all track of when and where he is, although these are usually met with violence.
Mystery: All too invested in his anonymity.
Cunning/Devious: Never hesitant to cheat and normally can get away with it.
Wrestling Ability: Clearly influenced by Puroresu and Lucha Libre.
Athleticism: Although his age is unknown he appears to be at the peak of career and in great physical shape.
The light plucking chords quickly give way to the hard guitar just before the lightening like kicks and snares rattle across the PA system like a machine gun as the lights flash and strobe with the rhythm. Midorikawa slowly appears from the backstage area and centers himself on the entrance ramp. His head down and his eyes focused on the metal grating below him.
As the full track kicks in he manically snaps his head up and jerks his face from left to right, and randomly slight up or slightly down. His shoulder twitches slightly as the vocals begin. As if the song has reminded him where he is.
He begins his slow march down to the ring, ignoring any fan fare, negative or otherwise.
The song hits the chorus and it's speed metal drumming as he flings himself into the ring, pulling and bouncing off of ropes in preparation. Shuddering and twitching in latent psychosis. Eventually slowing down and slumping down into the corner of the ring gripping the back of his mask.
Chest: Two women's faces, praying hands in between.
Wrist tape: Forearm to Knuckles, finger exposed.
Three Green Stripes across waist band.
1. You put the micro template in the app, which means you've already thought about this, which means staff (read: me) won't have to chase you to go and do this later on.
3. The writing samples, while dated, are decent and you're willing to matchwrite.
1. Top post in the applications forum says we're in need of babyfaces and you've applied with a heel.
Would still be willing to give you a "YES" vote because Reaper Justin and Brian are good dudes and they've said you're a good dude too, and the app is solid otherwise, but adding another heel won't solve our babyface need.
Yeah, so I've heard. I'm down for posing as a baby face for a little while. But, I will need some flexibility later on down the line if I get in.
And I should have warned Jerald about the lack of faces, I completely forgot.
I'm gonna go with a yes on this as well.
I say yes, Lindz touched on all the subjects I was going to. Damn.
Yaooowa... What up, Pete? It would have been a little awkward if I got voted off the island. I'd be thinking damn yall are some savages lol.
You've got the votes required for admittance so welcome aboard. We'll get you access to the booking forum and go from there.


I am a small, furry, exploding fish in the middle of the pacific!

If you need to talk to me, do it on here.
Plans is on hold for now, characters is my next item to finish.
I'm leaving Scratch for now, but I'll be back eventually(maybe)!

Visual Studio Code vs. Visual Studio: How to choose
Deciding between Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio may depend as much on your work style as on the language support and features you need. Here's how to decide
By Martin Heller
Contributing Editor, InfoWorld |
For decades, when I got to work in the morning, I would start Microsoft Visual Studio (or one of its predecessors, such as Visual C++ or Visual InterDev), then brew tea and possibly attend a morning meeting while it went through its laborious startup. I would keep the IDE open all day as I went through develop/test/debug cycles to avoid another startup delay. When I worked on a C++ project with ~2 million lines of code, I also jump-started each day's work by automatically running a batch script that did a code checkout and full rebuild of the product in the wee hours.
These days, I don't feel the need to open my code projects first thing every morning, or to keep them open all day. Visual Studio Code usually starts up quickly enough that I can be productive in a few minutes, even for large projects. I said usually, not always: Visual Studio Code itself needs a monthly update, and the many extensions I have installed often need their own updates. Still, even updating a dozen extensions in Visual Studio Code takes much less time than Visual Studio takes to rebuild the symbol tables of a large C++ project.
[ Using Visual Studio Code? Don't miss these 10 Visual Studio Code extensions for every developer. • Learn what's new in the latest version of Visual Studio Code. | Keep up with hot topics in programming with InfoWorld's App Dev Report newsletter. ]
Still, choosing between Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio is not as simple as choosing between lightweight editor and heavyweight IDE. While Visual Studio Code is highly configurable, Visual Studio is highly complete. Your choice may depend as much on your work style as on the language support and features you need. Let's take a look at the capabilities and the trade-offs of these two development tools.
Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor that runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages (such as C++, C#, Java, Python, PHP, and Go) and runtimes (such as .Net and Unity).
Aside from the whole idea of being lightweight and starting quickly, VS Code has IntelliSense code completion for variables, methods, and imported modules; graphical debugging; linting, multi-cursor editing, parameter hints, and other powerful editing features; snazzy code navigation and refactoring; and built-in source code control including Git support. Much of this was adapted from Visual Studio technology.
VS Code proper is built using the Electron shell, Node.js, TypeScript, and the Language Server protocol, and is updated on a monthly basis. The extensions are updated as often as needed. The richness of support varies across the different programming languages and their extensions, ranging from simple syntax highlighting and bracket matching to debugging and refactoring. You can add basic support for your favorite language through TextMate colorizers if no language server is available.
The code in the Visual Studio Code repository is open source under the MIT License. The VS Code product itself ships under a standard Microsoft product license, as it has a small percentage of Microsoft-specific customizations. It's free despite the commercial license.
The source code of Visual Studio Code viewed in Visual Studio Code. Note the messages (created using information from the Git repository) that show the authors of the functions and the most recent change dates. Also note the "peek" pop-up for trackSelection() in the middle of the screen.
What is Visual Studio?
Visual Studio (current version Visual Studio 2019) is Microsoft's premier IDE for Windows and MacOS. With Visual Studio, you can develop, analyze, debug, test, collaborate, and deploy your software.
On Windows, Visual Studio 2019 currently has 17 workloads, which are consistent tool and component installation bundles for different development targets. Workloads are an important improvement to the Visual Studio installation process, because a full download and installation of Visual Studio 2019 can easily take hours and fill a disk, especially an SSD.
Visual Studio 2019 supports 17 different workloads, representing different development targets.
Visual Studio 2019 for Mac has a less complicated installer than the Windows version, mostly because it doesn't support as many targets. It allows you to develop for web, mobile, and desktop with .Net, with Unity, Azure, and Docker support included by default. The .Net Core, Android, iOS, and MacOS targets are optional; the latter three use Xamarin.
Visual Studio for Mac Installer. Note that there are only four optional targets, versus the 17 workloads offered in Visual Studio for Windows.
Visual Studio 2019 comes in three SKUs: Community (free, not supported for enterprise use), Professional ($1,199 first year/$799 renewal), and Enterprise ($5,999 first year/$2,569 renewal). The Enterprise Edition has features for architects, advanced debugging, and testing that the other two SKUs lack.
The Visual Studio 2019 editing UI. Note the menu items for test and analysis, functions absent from Visual Studio Code.
Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code?
You would think that deciding between Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code for any given software development task would be as simple as deciding between an IDE and an editor. It's not, mostly because VS Code can be configured to be quite close to an IDE for many programming languages. However, along this configurability come a number of trade-offs.
For example, if your development style is test-driven, Visual Studio will work right out of the box. On the other hand, there are some 15 test-driven development extensions for VS Code supporting Node.js, Go, .Net, and PHP. Similarly, Visual Studio does a good job working with databases, especially Microsoft SQL Server and its relatives, but VS Code has lots of database extensions. Visual Studio has great refactoring support, but Visual Studio Code implements the basic refactoring operations for half a dozen languages.
There are a few clear-cut cases. For instance, if you are a software architect and you have access to Visual Studio Enterprise, you'll want to use that. If you need to collaborate with team members on development or debugging, then Visual Studio is the better choice. If you need to do serious code analysis or performance profiling, or debug from a snapshot, then Visual Studio Enterprise will help you.
VS Code tends to be popular in the data science community. Nevertheless, Visual Studio 2019 has a data science workload that offers many features.
Visual Studio doesn't run on Linux; VS Code does. On the other hand, Visual Studio for Windows has a Linux/C++ workload and Azure support.
For daily bread-and-butter develop/test/debug cycles in the languages supported in both Visual Studio and VS Code, which you choose really does boil down to personal preference. If you tend to work on a development project for hours at a time, then Visual Studio might be a better fit. If you tend to dip into development for brief periods and rotate between other tasks, then Visual Studio Code might make you happier.
