Very proud to announce that my work titled "An empirical study of the first contributions of developers to open source projects on GitHub" has been accepted to #icse2020 as a part of the student research competition ICSE 🥳🥳

This has to be one of the better paper abstracts I've seen.

#icse20 Congratulations to SRC Undergraduate Student Winners: * 1st place: Vikram Subramanian (Vikram Subramanian), University of Waterloo * 2nd place: Shashij Gupta (Shashij Gupta), IIT Bombay * 3rd place: Ananga Thapaliya, Innopolis University

I'm happy to announce that our paper analyzing the impact of extrinsic bugs in Just-In-Time bug prediction models has been accepted for publication in the TSE journal preprint available here: gemarodri.github.io/PersonalWeb/pa…

Just got my first academic citation! 🎉🎉

DRS hot take and a mini thread: a) Showing only the most likely trajectory and b) calling the uncertainty 'umpire's call' are doing a disservice to the acceptability of the DRS. A modeling and simulation + uncertainty analysis perspective: 1/ #AUSvIND

When I start screen-sharing on Facebook video calls (from a browser), my video stops appearing on the call but my camera is still on and recording. That does not sound okay…is this normal?

It's always nice out at G2G Rail Trail Very wholesome too.

Me: It works on my machine, but doesn't work on another machine 🐋: Use Docker! Containers that work on one machine work on all machines Me: So containers from my M1 mac will work on Kubernetes? 🐋: oh...No. The architecture is different. We've come full circle? Docker2.0? 🙃

Is it only me or do you also feel disappointed when you let GitHub Copilot down by not taking its suggestion?

Congratulations to SE student Vikram Subramanian, one of two exceptional undergrad researchers in the Faculty of Math to win a 2023 Jessie W. H. Zou Memorial Award. No stranger to recognition of research excellence, this is Vikram's third award. 1/2 cs.uwaterloo.ca/news/vikram-su…

As far as I can tell no one is measuring code search performance from the latest and greatest embedding models. Why not??

Random idea: Massively tax the purchase of new clothing. ✅ Hopefully reduces waste + fast fashion- Good for the environment ✅ Awesome source of revenue for the government ✅ Not a tax on the poor ✅ Encourages thrifting and recycling ❌ Unpopular policy decision?

You're building a small Python web app that sees ~1000 "events" a day that need to be processed async. These events take 3-5 mins each. Is it better engineering to set up celery or reinvent the wheel and set up a dead simple task queue on mem? Is celery over-eng?
