GitHub launches ‘draft’ pull requests to let developers discuss code before deploying

GitHub has added a new feature to pull requests, allowing developers to mark their requests as a draft. Marking a request as a draft allows the developer to highlight to other collaborators that their code is a work-in-progress and requires feedback before being integrated into the main project. So, suppose a developer has been trying to solve a difficult problem. They could, in essence, create a “minimum viable product” that solves the problem, but isn’t quite ready to be deployed. By marking the pull request as a draft, they can start a conversation about their solution with their teammates without…

Here are the 5 hottest startups in Sweden

Dubbed a ‘unicorn factory’ Sweden has become a powerhouse incubator for some of the most innovative startups. It’s no wonder, with massive success stories such as iZettle and Mojang Games (the creators of Minecraft) that the country has been experiencing an influx of growth in technology in the last decade. In fact, in 2017 Sweden more than doubled its number of startup exits. At a total of 120, it topped the number of exits from other, much larger startup ecosystems like Germany (112), the UK (77), and France (44). With so much recent success, the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked the…

Using social media to measure air pollution’s psychological toll

People are less happy on days when the air is more polluted, according to an analysis of 210 million posts on the Chinese social media site Sina Weibo. Researchers have suspected air pollution takes a psychological toll generally, and dirty air due to industrialization, coal burning, and motor vehicles has become a drag on well-being for Chinese city dwellers. But these effects are difficult to measure. That’s where Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter, comes in. An international team of researchers analyzed posts made between March 1 and November 30, 2014 and geotagged in 144 different Chinese cities. They used specialized…
