My student is conducting a study on the maturity of CI/CD configurations. If you are a CI/CD expert or doing research in the area, please help him out! We will make the data and the results available for everybody...

It is surprisingly hard to find a good (preferably Android) tablet or convertible laptop that 1) has a reasonable price 2) supports HDMI output and 3) has a stylus that allows using it for actual notes. Any recommendations?

It is this time of the year again, when changes in daylight saving time make a complete mess out of coordinating international appointments. Can we please collectively stop playing around with our clocks twice a year? :D

I have troubles finding the limits for size of repository, container registry, and max image size at 🦊 GitLab when using the free tier of gitlab.com. The "Pricing" page does not mention this, where is it documented?

The ICSE asks us to run for 5km. Me: Challenge accepted! Also me after 374m... #ICSE #ICSE21isRunning

Elaine Weyuker's, @icseconf keynote: "Too many academic researchers do not really understand the scale and scope of the issues that practitioners face, because they have never themselves actually engineered or tested real software systems." Ouch. And so true. #roasted #ICSE

Here is the preview of the VSCode extension for #Type4Py, a deep similarity learning-based type inference for Python. Joint work with Evaldas Latoškinas, Sebastian Proksch, Georgios Gousios. Stay tuned for the public release! #machinelearning #typeinference #python #vscode #extension #ML4SE

Today, a disruptive new search engine (like Google back in the day) would not have any chances. Content is no longer self-hosted, but lives in gated communities on social media. It is sad to see the world wide web dying a slow death...

How can I keep up with my sons immune system? I get knocked down badly every time he catches a cold, which he shakes off in two days. Maybe I should start licking random stones on playground visits as well...

So while working within the system to help improve it, I also try to remind myself and my students: science is a messy human process. Try not to take either reviews or social media too personally, and see what we can learn from both to make our papers better/clearer. ;-) 4/4

Do you like Software Engineering and processes like CI/CD? Do you want to pursue an academic career and do a PhD? I have a position for you here in The Netherlands at TU Delft. Work with me on the next generation of CI/CD tools! tudelft.nl/over-tu-delft/… (5 days left)

The folks at Docker have a weird sense of humor, skipping updates is a pro feature now. It is a bit early for an April fools joke...

runtime-no-test, the missing #maven scope.

Is there any good use case for the Maven shade plugin? It seems that this is just a generic tool for making dependency management hell for everybody downstream...

With my German background, I feel a certain tickle whenever I hear the Russian president speak. I hear open lies, hate towards minorities, and megalomaniac phantasies... we all need to strongly oppose this or it is not going to end well.

I stopped using my paid @dropbox account today. Main reason? The utterly artificial requirement that the sync folder MUST be called "Dropbox" made it impossible to integrate in my use case. I am always sorry to see when usability of software suffers from weird PR decisions.
