GitHub Open Sources Their Internal Testing Tool (thenewstack.io)
destinyland writes: Last week GitHub released a new open source tool called Scientist, a Ruby-based library they've been using in-house for several years. "It's the most terrifying moment when you flip the switch," GitHub engineer Jesse Toth told one technology reporter, who notes that the tool is targeted at developers transitioning from a legacy system. "Scientist was born when GitHub engineers needed to rewrite the permissions code — one of the most critical systems in the GitHub application." The tool measures execution duration and other metrics for both test and production code during runtime, and Toth reports that they're now also developing new versions in Node.js, C#, and .Net..
I think we might finally be getting to the point where more and more people are seeing through the hypocrisy of the leftists who are pushing this "social justice" nonsense.
While more intelligent people have seen through the charade for a long time, it's finally dawning on the less-intelligent folks that "social justice" is just intolerance, hatred, injustice, and prejudice bundled together and mislabeled with a deceptive name.
I was reading the discussion at Hacker News and Reddit about this pathetic ordeal over at GitHub:

In the past, especially at Hacker News, people would have defended GitHub without question. But surprisingly we saw a lot of people at Hacker News actually pointing out how it would be extremely racist to not hire white people to perform some job just because of their skin color!
If such people had made such observations in the past, they would have typically been attacked by downmod squads. Perhaps they still did, but just maybe enough people are waking up that the downmod squad attacks were naturally counteracted by legitimate upmods.
I think it's a combination of factors leading to the ongoing downfall of "social justice".
As more and more incidents have happened, it has become more and more obvious just how hypocritical and stupid "social justice" is.
We've also seen leftism fail in other ways. The whole situation in Europe, with them being flooded with illegal invaders who proceed to engage in various sorts of crime, has started to wake up a lot of people there who followed leftism without really thinking about it. They've come to realize that everything the "social justice" supporters and leftists said about these illegal invaders was completely wrong.
In the US we have Donald Trump who is finally expressing ideas that have been forbidden for so long, yet that so many people know to be true.
Even here at Slashdot we've seen, so far, the new ownership not bombard us with bullshit "social justice" stories like the previous owners did.
Hopefully we will soon see the global end of the "social justice" academic quackery that has wasted so much of our time. But when this does happen, we will need to be extra careful. The leftists will return, and they will be seeking revenge.
