Yandex's Unconventional 'Contribution' to Open Source

Description

This image displays a horizontal bar chart titled 'Top Companies Contributing to Open Source'. The chart lists various major tech companies and organizations like Google, Microsoft, Docker, and Mozilla, with bar lengths and corresponding numbers representing their contributions (presumably commits or PRs), mostly in the millions. However, the top entry, Yandex, has a bar that extends dramatically off the chart, far surpassing all others. Instead of a number of contributions, its value is labeled '44 Gb'. This is a satirical meme referencing a real-world event where a significant amount of Yandex's source code, reportedly 44GB, was leaked. The humor lies in sarcastically framing this massive, unintentional data leak as a leading 'contribution' to the open-source community, contrasting with the legitimate, deliberate contributions of other organizations

Open-source leaderboard pro tip: if the metric is commit bytes, just git add node_modules - Yandex’s 44 GB “contribution” rocketed them to first place while the rest of us are busy deleting legacy code to earn negative lines

The real plot twist isn't that Yandex leads in open source contributions - it's that they measured it in gigabytes while everyone else counted commits, proving once again that metrics alignment is harder than distributed consensus

When your data pipeline has a unit conversion bug in production and Yandex's commit count gets measured in gigabytes while everyone else is counting contributions - classic case of 'works on my machine' meeting enterprise data aggregation at scale. This is what happens when you let the intern write the ETL job without proper schema validation and type safety

Yandex outcommitting Google to OSS: turns out the real search algorithm optimizes for git push velocity, not ad revenue

Top OSS contributors by… gigabytes? Yandex’s 44GB says the KPI is du -sh, not impact - vendor node_modules and a stray dataset and you’ll outrank Apache

When your OSS KPI is "GB contributed," incident response accidentally becomes Developer Relations

yandex is ruscism company I think we can forget about Mordor because it’s like North Korea
1. @mekosko 3y
  
  Mordor is like North Korea?
  
  @iLavreniuk 3y
  
  russia = Mordor
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  Oh, those Lord of the Rings fans...
  
  @iLavreniuk 3y
  
  😁 I’m not a fan But this describes them well
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  If you are not a fan, then how can you know the history of Mordor and claim that this is like Russia
  
  @iLavreniuk 3y
  
  What do you think suits russia better?
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  The Lord of the Rings is certainly a good novel, but not so exhaustive that any country can be described with locations from it
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  Propagandistic videos by the way are usually a bad argument)
  
  @sylfn 3y
  
  usually != always
  
  @iLavreniuk 3y
  
  You prefer arguments from putin? 🌚
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  Yes
  
  @adorogov 3y
  
  And what 'bout USA? Korea? Vietnam? Iran? Iraq? Afghanistan? Syria? Libya? Kosovo?! Is it different? Please, do not respond to this comment. This channel is not about politics. It's about IT and its pains (ba-dum-tss). But I just couldn't pass this.
  
  @iLavreniuk 3y
  
  rascists made genocide in Ukraine There is no reason to justify this crime This is not politics, as you put it This is a full-scale war, a russian invasion, murders, violence! Questions??? FU son of the putin…
  
  @adorogov 3y
  
  The racists made genocide in Kosovo (Baghdad, Vietnam, substitute whatever you like). There was and is no reason to justify this crime(s). STFU.

  First rule of homo-sovieticus discussion, “but you lynch negroes”
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  Homo-who? and what you mean behind this words?
  
  @princeofcanaan 3y
  
  It means that a person has grown with Soviet era propaganda, inherited discourse models from soviet politburo, for example by obscuring own wrongdoing with pointing out someone else’s deeds as main issue, instead of regarding actual questions.
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  Is it worse than double standards?
  
  @princeofcanaan 3y
  
  It’s precisely “double standards with a grain of wit”, just because they were built by adopting a-couple millennia old “tradesmen wit” of a certain nation. It is a pure abuse of logic in shifting from original theme of discussion to something else, in order to avoid responsibility for own actions. Unbiased cultural profiling of stereotypical (post-)soviet person will reveal a brilliantly constructed shift from original serfdom to state controlled mechanisms of manipulating of public opinion and popularization of fear, violence and wars as main sources of pride and entertainment
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  stereotypes do not reflect reality and are themselves built on the basis of propaganda
  
  @princeofcanaan 3y
  
  Living long enough will prove you that stereotypes statistically reflect main characteristics of population. Try looking into purely statistical data and stereotypical traits and you will find out that exceptions rarely elevate above single digit percentage.
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  If you think it's okay to base arguments on stereotypes, we have nothing to talk about.
  
  @princeofcanaan 3y
  
  There’s no argument
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  If this is really true, you could refer to these statistics, not stereotypes.
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  There is
  
  @princeofcanaan 3y
  
  Some very surprising statistic datasets are unfortunately paywalled, though I can tell you that there was two particular phd theses that analyzed cultural heritage of post soviet space, both in linguistic space, by analyzing the vocabulary, language evolution and origins of that evolution, additionally to genetic analysis of heritage of cultural influences. Very surprising
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  Then give me a link to them, please
  
  @princeofcanaan 3y
  
  It’s an academic paper, not yet translated to English
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  Not a problem
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  So will you give a link to these works?
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  Thus, by unbiased cultural profiling of a stereotypical <something> you can only find out the mood in your society, and not what <something> really is
  
  @princeofcanaan 3y
  
  “Really is” is not something that can be measured, not knowing history is even worse
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  Can you reformulate this argument, please?
  
  @princeofcanaan 3y
  
  There’s no actual argument, you’ve asked for clarification about “homo-sovieticus” and meaning of my response. To summarize, nations’ mentality is actually socially programmed, leveraging past, values and various cultural constructs, (post-)soviet people share a lot of social and cultural constructs, inherited from ussr’s programming and historical shifts, discussions that include even a hint of criticism of past or current states of Russian-speaking society on any matter allow instant identification of “soviet” person.
  
  @choke_hazard 3y
  
  This channel is about pissing on your dead body, so all this time we basically waiting you to be mobilized and mixed with Bakhmut soil. Or you barking your shit from Yerevan? No, let me guess. Tbilisi? Somewhere from Kazakhstan?
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  hey, don't be rude. Doesn't matter if you're right or not
  
  @choke_hazard 3y
  
  It's not about being rude, it's about reminding zigger garbage who they are and how much their life and opinion costs, namely zero
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  no, this doesn't help anyone. you're just being hurtful and that's it
  
  @choke_hazard 3y
  
  And who exactly ziggers presence helps here? Or maybe you wanna say "oh no people are so equal no matter if you are a nazi scum or a parent of children they killed"? Yeah, we're all just developers here, who cares. Welcome all the rapists, war crimes commiters, their supporters, everybody. Just make sure you understand jokes about programming
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  yes. they're going to be prosecuted by someone else, somwhere else. This chat will not engage in political action.
  
  @choke_hazard 3y
  
  Wish you all good luck with your ziggers channel then. When they'll come to your home don't forget to tell them your room is not a place for politics. Sit in a chair and wait until somebody prosecute them
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  I'm very much politically active, in places where it's appropriate. not on telegram. I mean cmon, you're not going to convince anyone on here
  
  @yoyatayo 3y
  
  I dont think supporting war crime is about politics
  
  @AlihatorU 3y
  
  Oh. Because Russia isn't only bad country in the world, we still should not tolerate this bullshit. Please, do not respond

  @pod1425 3y
  
  both have ugly orcs that can make only war and suffering for surrounding countries
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  hru hru
  
  @pod1425 3y
  
  yes, thats exact sounds they make, congrats for guessing
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  Then they're cute pigs, not orcs
  
  @pod1425 3y
  
  whatever, both burns well on Ukrainian fields
  
  @mekosko 3y
  
  xdd
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  the orcs were actually mind-controlled by the one ring and are assumed to be neutral as a species
  
  @pod1425 3y
  
  so far perfect match
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  pretty much, I just wanted to add neither orcs nor russians are inherently evil
  
  @pod1425 3y
  
  For how long orcs were controlled?
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  since the one ring was created until it was destroyed I think
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  the movie doesn't detail what happens to the orcs after the ring gets destroyed & I haven't read the books, so…
  
  @pod1425 3y
  
  So, bunch of ugly stupid people are controlled by one small shit into doing horrible things while actually enjoying them. Nice then
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  I don't think it's established that they're stupid
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  also I don't think orcs enjoy being mind-controlled
  
  @pod1425 3y
  
  Hmm, so the orcs are actually better than russians
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  russians don't enjoy it either
  
  @pod1425 3y
  
  I see the opposite
  
  @RiedleroD 3y
  
  I personally know 2 russians and there's plenty more in this chat who don't like putin
  
  @pod1425 3y
  
  I knowso many that i cant even count them up. They all dont even realize whats happening. They dont care.

@choke_hazard 3y

So where are you hiding from mobilization, my lil smartass pigdog pet?
@choke_hazard 3y

I prefer them to get what they deserve according to what they support
@RiedleroD 3y

that's more of a guideline than a rule, and only for the mods, not the users, so we don't write it down.
@AlihatorU 3y

Inaction is also an act. And this guy isn't asking for much. Just do not support Russia as much as you can.
1. @RiedleroD 3y
  
  correct, but also this is a programming chat bro
@RiedleroD 3y

they were responding to a different comment under this post, something about yandex being russian started a convo again :/
