    @simonw It may be more fatigue from long history of 'productivity tools' shoved down their throat by management or IT department. I read Github team's decision more as dogfooding-in-mass than try-this.

  • jasonmulligan Jason Mulligan (@jasonmulligan) reported

    @github yeah... because using tabs mean you support developers with eye sight issues, like blindness... this is an ablest bullshit statement

  • joelmartinez ↥↰ Joel Martinez (@joelmartinez) reported from Alafaya Woods, Florida

    @fakenine_ Hi, if you take a look at the GitHub commit history ... You'll find that all I've done there is submitted a pull request to fix a spelling error. So beyond that I'm not involved in that project :) best of luck

  • aroc725 aroc725 (@aroc725) reported

    Kinda scary when GitHub goes down, even for a short while. *shudder*

  • Lakshya097 Lakshya (@Lakshya097) reported

    Day 3 of #100DaysOfCode: Studied Bitwise Operators and implemented them in Python. Solved Bit problems: Check if Kth bit is set or not and Count no. of bits set. (Updating all codes simultaneously on github) Plan to pick more bitwise problems tomorrow.

  • chipnetics CC (@chipnetics) reported

    @devbisme Haha; Ironically I've went down this path of exploring if I can replace my usage of C++ with C only. All I really *need* from C++ is map/vector which I found great C89 replacement for (klib on github).

  • decafcatholic (@decafcatholic) reported

    @jellehsmn Found a script that integrates pelican with GitHub pages, so problem solved

  • DanielMarolf Daniel Marolf (@DanielMarolf) reported

    @ashleymcnamara Question: How do you find open source projects to contribute to? Or does it just come down to browsing GitHub?

  • ninavizz abolition is the new batman (@ninavizz) reported

    When will @github build-in a "drafts" feature for issues? Really, the one thing I have wanted, as a product person, forever. Also better styleguiding features... but, man, that "drafts" feature would save me so many headaches.

  • micahgodbolt Micah Godbolt (@micahgodbolt) reported

    @evntdrvn @github If you work between multiple machines, how often do you have to commit, push a branch, switch machine, pull down branch. Or working on code that needs special runtime environment to build, or working on a low powered machine that bogs down when compiling.

    [Poll] How do you respond to GitHub issues?

  • ahmetb Ahmet Alp Balkan (@ahmetb) reported

    1. cosign creates a local pub/priv key pair (short-lived, deleted after signing) 2. public key uploaded to fulcio (a server that associates your pub key with your OIDC token e.g. Github) 3. your key is now associated w/ you in the transparency log 4. sign the container image!

  • SamHulick Sam Hulick (@SamHulick) reported

    @dam @brianleroux The problem is, sometimes the line is blurred between "web apps" and full-blown services. Gmail is a web app, I think that's safe to say. Most of what I use are probably considered services: GitHub, LogRocket, ClickUp. Lucidchart has more of a web app feel, maybe. Hard to say.

  • btihen Bill Tihen (@btihen) reported

    @luckyframework - I was just trying to work on a few issues in GitHub - but I see the default setup is with docker (which I had to uninstall to continue to use my Mac - the last update broke). Are there easy alternative ways to setup the lucky framework dev environment?

  • jasonmulligan Jason Mulligan (@jasonmulligan) reported

    @VAggrippino @github did i? so sorry 😢 imagine you had people belittling your issues as jokes

  • laurenceb Laurence Berland (@laurenceb) reported

    @rklau @commons_prjct All for the standard but the place I'm getting tripped up is the verified issuers list. The VCI directory on GitHub is missing issuers that the @commons_prjct app verifies, eg Walmart. Any idea what's going on? Tried asking on GitHub but I dunno if those issues are monitored.

  • buildanddrive Build & Drive (@buildanddrive) reported

    @Handy_StorX @StorXNetwork @github I noticed (based in IP address) I have been allocated 2 vps's on the same server/same location. After 10 days of uptime, one node rep is at 275 and one is at 135 and have not risen since. So how can the 2 nodes differ so greatly in rep when they in the same place/specs...?

  • jeffscottward Jeff Scott 🦇🔊 🇪🇹 (@jeffscottward) reported

    Im an expert at annoying github repo owners into actually fixing their broken 💩

  • mrkezi_ Messi the GOAT (@mrkezi_) reported

    @iamMeNsaaH At all G. We were working on a Friday afternoon and got email that we’ve been kicked out of github, like 2 hours later our engineering manager told us the entire company including him has been let go and the company is closing down.

  • seanmylaw Sean Law 🇨🇦 (@seanmylaw) reported

    @gmarkall @Cuda Would it be okay/appropriate if I tagged you in a Github issue with the details (with zero pressure to do anything more than discuss)?

  • FiloSottile Filippo Valsorda 💉💉 (@FiloSottile) reported

    @__eel__ @ecnepsnai At the end of the day, I care more in practice about having my credential on a YubiKey than I care about getting the WebPKI trust infrastructure. I'm more likely to get popped, and if GitHub gets popped, I am in trouble anyway.

  • mazormatan Matan Mazor (@mazormatan) reported

    Say I post a link to a github repo with a ready-to-submit project (materials, analysis code, manuscript - everything). I also say that I planted two errors - a coding error in my analysis script, and a factual error in the text, maybe misquoting a paper or something similar. 1/8

    @kadikraman - Create a visual demo of the problem how PR solves it! - Open a slack thread! if possible discussing why this was needed - GitHub issues markdown based checkbox list that what base steps are followed

  • Tony_Barotsis AntoniosBarotsis (@Tony_Barotsis) reported

    I have basically given up on trying to fix the search, I'll just leave it there cause I opened a discussion on the theme's GitHub repo. In the meantime I added the ability to comment using your GitHub account and am off to machine learning with R again

  • AFredston Alexa Fredston (@AFredston) reported

    I've been coding on a remote PC server. I set up PAT authentication with gitcreds which worked fine. but then the next time I log onto the server, I get prompted for my username & PW again, & GH scolds me doing for basic authentication. how do I get it to stick? #rstats #github

  • PhelanHayes Matthew Smith (@PhelanHayes) reported

    @jmviglino Could this be optional? If this isn't the correct forum, I'm glad to post in GitHub, just didn't think it was a formal issue of ol-ext but rather an internal change. Thank you.

    @digitalstudionw Haven’t seen that one yet would suggest filing an issue on GitHub to see if others encounter the same.

  • SiliconShecky Shecky - Going to Blue Team Con (((Mike))) (@SiliconShecky) reported

    @rodtrent Hunting is the tough one. Also the queries in the github I have to futz with to make them work (table names changed, spaces in the query causing errors). Love the tool but it drives me batcaca crazy.
