Commit Logs From Last Night
- duiker101 14y agoWell I'm glad to see that also other people have this sorts of messages in their commit history
- ams6110 14y agoInteresting to me too. While I'm not above putting the occasional gripe into a commit message, I don't think I've ever used profanity. I prefer commit log messages to be useful later, to myself if not others. So I try to avoid useless messages like "Fixing stuff" (with or without expletives).
- dleibovic 14y agoSo it just watches github's live feed for commit messages that contain a curse word.
- sprobertson 14y agoSpecifically, https://github.com/astanway/Commit-Logs-From-Last-Night/blob/master/scrape.py#L98 https://github.com/astanway/Commit-Logs-From-Last-Night/blob...
- creativityhurts 14y agoI wished he removed some of those words though and I really want to believe that people don't use racist commit messages.
- bigiain 14y agoInteresting that he _almost_ starts out with George Carlins "seven dirty words" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Dirty_Words http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Dirty_Words - but then continues with additional words that're unlikely to be indicative of anything particularly humorous or interesting. This is _almost_ funny. But anybody who thinks you can make up jokes using SQL or regex probably isn't the sort of person you'd pay to see at a comedy club. Unless, perhaps, they're a particularly talented computational linguist with a huge corpus of comedy material loaded up in a big real-time analysis cluster. Hmmmm, there's some ideas here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_humor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_humor - maybe this would be more amusing if the commit comments were passed into the "That's what she said" double entendre algorithm?
- bdcravens 14y agoI use a little obscene language myself, but there's nothing cool or enlightening about it. Any site built around it is at best noisy, but more like puking all over the screen.
- moondowner 14y agoSo fuck and shit are the most common words used as I can see. Not what I expected.
- zackzackzack 14y agoI imagine this is just going through a stream of commits and only picking out the ones containing fuck and shit.
- zerostar07 14y agoand hell
- stillinbeta 14y agoSome of the stuff in there is pretty spectacular, like this qt-brainfuck: https://github.com/sea-kg/seakgChrysocyonParser/compare/09883845df...4a86cb584e https://github.com/sea-kg/seakgChrysocyonParser/compare/0988...
- kevinpet 14y agoI think there's a reason most humor websites have some sort of curation process.
- vhf 14y agoYep. The idea is potentially fun, though. They could surely make use of a curation process. Something like bash.org, maybe ?
- bdcravens 14y agoObviously this is on open source stuff, but I'd don't think it'd reflect positively with a prospective client or employer.
- aberkowitz 14y agoI'm baffled by this admiration of commit messages that do nothing to explain the code committed.
- jrabone 14y agoHmm, another triumph for the "Github will get you hired" crowd. And so soon after the "Github will get you kicked off Coursera" debacle. Actually this is a good use case for DVCS - at least you have a second chance to clean up your commit messages when pushing from a private repo. It does have to be private though. I would be interested to see if BitBucket gets a boost in users this month...
- zwass 14y agoBefore bashing, please notice the subheading: "because real hackers pivot two hours before their demo". This was Abe's pivot right before the deadline at the PennApps Hackathon.
- zerostar07 14y agoNot many swearing ladies.
