Most active GitHub users (git.io/top)

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.

Only first 1000 GitHub users according to the count of followers are taken. This is because of limitations of GitHub search. Sorting algo in pseudocode:

githubUsers
 .filter(user => user.followers > 1000)

An online tool for interactive teaching of network visualization and representation principles.

The range sliders at the top change the values for the force-directed algorithm and the buttons load new graphs and apply various techniques. This will hopefully serve as a tool for teaching network analysis and visualization principles during my Gephi courses and general Networks in the Humanities presentations.

Notice this includes a pretty straightforward way to load CSV node and edge lists as exported from Gephi.

It also includes a pathfinding algorithm built for the standard data structure of force-directed networks in D3. This requires the addition of .id attributes for the nodes, however.

Now with Clustering Coefficients!

Also, it loads images for nodes but the images are not in the gist. The code also refers to different network types but the data files on Gist only refer to the transportation network.

How Homakov hacked GitHub and how to protect your application by Peter Nixey

##How Homakov hacked GitHub and the line of code that could have prevented it


Please note: THIS ARTICLE IS NOT WRITTEN BY THE GITHUB TEAM or in any way associated with them. It's simply hosted as a Gist because the markdown formatting is excellent and far clearer than anything I could manage on my personal Tumblr at peternixey.com.

Business models based on the compiled list at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4924647. I find the link very hard to browse, so I made a simple version in Markdown instead.

Startup Riot 2009 Keynote

(This is the text of the keynote I gave at Startup Riot 2009. Will update when video becomes available.)

Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath, and I'm one of the co-founders of GitHub.

GitHub, if you haven't heard of it, has been described as "Facebook for developers." Which is great when talking about GitHub as a website, but not so great when describing GitHub as a business. In fact, I think we're the polar opposite of Facebook as a business: we're small, never took investment, and actually make money. Some have even called us successful.

Which I've always wondered about. Success is very vague, right? Probably even relative. How do you define it?

After thinking for a while I came up with two criteria. The first is profitability. We employ four people full time, one person part time, have thousands of paying customers, and are still growing. In fact, our rate of growth is increasing - which means January was our best month so far, and February is looking pretty damn good.

Zero downtime deploys with unicorn + nginx + runit + rvm + chef

Below are the actual files we use in one of our latest production applications at Agora Games to achieve zero downtime deploys with unicorn. You've probably already read the GitHub blog post on Unicorn and would like to try zero downtime deploys for your application. I hope these files and notes help. I am happy to update these files or these notes if there are comments/questions. YMMV (of course).

Other application notes:

  • Our application uses MongoDB, so we don't have database migrations to worry about as with MySQL or postgresql. That does not mean that we won't have to worry about issues with the database with indexes being built in MongoDB or what have you.
  • We use capistrano for deployment.

Salient points for each file:

class PostsController < ActionController::Base
def create
Post.create(post_params)
end
def update
Post.find(params[:id]).update_attributes!(post_params)
end

Routes

小心地使用 Match(Rails 3 已实现)

Rails 3 提供了 match 方法供我们自定义 routes,然而我们要小心使用它以避免“跨站脚本攻击”(XSS Attack)。比如像这样的 routes:

注:(r3 代表 Rails 3,r4 代表 Rails 4)
