The Hacktoberfest 2018 is the 5th Edition. I am always surprised by the
popularity of the event. Sometimes I wonder, why can't this be repeated
every month of the year, instead of just October. Those who don't know what
I am talking about, The Hacktoberfest challenge is an annual event run by
DigitalOcean ( https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=0d4cc75b3a74 ), where
you are encouraged to submit at least 5 Pull Request to any distribution
hosted on GitHub in the month of October. In return you will receive
specially designed FREE T-Shirt delivered to you anywhere in the world.

There is a still time for you to join. Please register (
https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/sign_up/register ) now.

  Measuring language popularity
  http://jeffreykegler.github.io/Ocean-of-Awareness-blog/individual/2018/10/popularity.html

  Measures of language popularity, even those based on usage in actual
  codebases, are far more rough than you might think according to Jeffrey.
  Jeffrey's main interest, as usual, is parsing and he proposes a way to
  improve the counts with more sophisticated parsing. In the meantime,
  those of you skimming his post for just the stuff about how the language
  statistics are gathered (apparently they are not based on actual line
  counts) should glance at the footnotes.
