  • zats Sash Zats (@zats) reported

    @meetZaki Why to put just one though? Probably depends on the audience. Maybe sign in with GitHub is the move

  • devdoteth dev.eth (@devdoteth) reported

    some completely irrelevant DAO based on having vagina, non white skin and gibsmedat mentality become main topic of discussion for 3 days already what have they ever done beside of spoofing their github so it looks like working just burn this whole space down and rebuild new

  • funkijote Funkijote (@funkijote) reported

    @henriksen I'm not even a whole person, just a random Github gist, but I might be the solution to the one really niche problem you have.

  • eppydoc Balogun Stephen Taiye (@eppydoc) reported

    To all {tidyndr} users: apologies I couldn’t release the CRAN update ahead of deadline. A tiny bug took me more than I bargained for to fix. The latest version - 0.2.2 is currently on GitHub. I’ll try and get it back to CRAN asap. #RStats #tidyndr #rstat @DrFeranmi

  • ISibboI Sebastian Schmidt (@ISibboI) reported

    @DocSparse @github That's true and makes sense. The reason I thought about the law suit is because it is likely that you are not the only person with this problem. Maybe it will be class action some day, especially since GitHub probably wants to monetize it.

  • MaxHager66 Max Hager (@MaxHager66) reported

    Error appearance timeline: Terminal --> Github issues --> Stackoverflow --> Stackoverflow copies --> Blog articles --> YouTube

  • MonamiSharma MonAmi Sharma 🚢 (@MonamiSharma) reported

    Read code • Read other programmers' code on Github to see how they approach solving particular problems. • Find patterns. e.g. authentication, payment, DB access, etc. can all be patterned.

  • alexanderadam__ alexanderadam (@alexanderadam__) reported

    @kddnewton If somebody feels not to maintain a repo anymore that's totally fine and GitHub even supports flagging a repo like that. If somebody feels not to fix or implement an issue, that's fine as well. Just write that and close that issue manually.

  • ed_halferty Ed Halferty (@ed_halferty) reported

    @DocSparse @github I wonder how many people have used your code without github copilot and without knowing what its license is. This problem is not exclusive to copilot, this is a problem in open source in general, and AI won't be able to fix it.

  • noahsmark Noah Richards (@noahsmark) reported

    @IlonaChan16 @marcan42 Oh I had assumed so, if you can’t then this is all bad, my assumptions again from every tracker I’ve used (GitHub, jira, buganizer at google) is that it’s not a special protected state, anyone can reopen, by design. But maybe some OSS GitHub have that locked down?

  • jamonholmgren Jamon 🔥 (@jamonholmgren) reported

    @Adam_Boyl @DocSparse @github GitHub will definitely need to fix the licensing thing, if Copilot is going to copy exactly. My assumption is that for a very specific known problem there are few things to “learn” from so you don’t get a mashup, you get the specific training data.

  • DocSparse Tim Davis (@DocSparse) reported

    @nickreal03 @github I meant *wouldn’t* solve the problem …

  • SecondeJ James Seconde (@SecondeJ) reported

    @kiyanwang And to follow up, the discussion @MrDanack and I had really was about this particular problem. Multimillion pound companies use PHP ImageMagick. Dan doesn't get a penny, but does get pushy "emergency" github issues.

  • h6ri7 Hari.eth | Web3 Citizen (@h6ri7) reported

    Wish I could PUSH all my life problems to GitHub

  • dragosr dragosr (@dragosr) reported

    @DocSparse @github I'm not so certain that code snippet is substantial enough to be copyrightable. (Also remembering that copyright specifically excludes short segments, headlines etc... ) Sit any programmer down to write a sparse transpose and they will arrive at something similar to that.

  • dan_jenkins Dan Jenkins (@dan_jenkins) reported

    @neil_neilzone Feels like something airconnect should support (I have no idea if it does and if it doesn’t then it feels like a GitHub issue to make)

  • DocSparse Tim Davis (@DocSparse) reported

    @dragosr @github The algorithm is a basic one but the expression is unique and copyrightable. The other problem is I have not yet found out what they do with my other 300kloc of open source software. This is likely the tip of the iceberg

  • Basilakis Basilis Kanonidis (@Basilakis) reported

    @PierreDeWulf I think the problem is can't simple connect tools. Using VS with Github is so easy, you do not need anything local.

  • techbitsio techbits (@techbitsio) reported

    @jamescallaghan @thepugmiester @github Q: do you pre-assign URLs/issues, and print a bunch of labels ready? I guess a GitHub issue is easier to do that with. I was thinking about http 301ing a generic pointer.

  • DocSparse Tim Davis (@DocSparse) reported

    @ISibboI @github No, nothing planned, but I do plan on contacting @github and asking them to resolve this issue.

  • knoopx knoopx (@knoopx) reported

    @marcan42 Also the fact that GitHub does filter out by default closed issues, which most of the time contain valuable information regarding the specific problem you might have, forcing users to report stuff already solved or reported

  • DocSparse Tim Davis (@DocSparse) reported

    @john_snarks @jeremyphoward @github If they also preserve my license, then it would solve the problem. My code is open source (GPL or LGPL typically), and also dual licensed, so stripping the GPL/LGPL is a problem. Also, academia rewards citations and use of work. If my name is stripped then I lose that way too.

  • Davesomebody Dave C (@Davesomebody) reported

    @euxoa @DocSparse @github Wonder how many defects and vulnerabilities people pick up along the way while using this. They wont be able to fix them either since they didn't actually write it in the first place.

  • shan3v shane.stars (@shan3v) reported

    is there a discord message -> github issue bot?

  • adpt_music a d ∧ p t (@adpt_music) reported

    @doragasu @marcan42 @github This happened to me this week. Bug reports & PRs to fix those bugs left for years, most closed with no reply from the owner. the community suggested to appoint more admins to help out, the owner closed threads without a word. I’m now looking for a replacement or write my own.

  • ivandjukic02 Ivan Djukic (@ivandjukic02) reported

    Day 42: Didn't do much today in regard to coding, life got in the way a little bit! Done my first leetcode problem and pushed it to github. #100Devs #100Daysofcode

  • johnny_reilly John Reilly ❤️🌻 (@johnny_reilly) reported

    @danielcroe @richardpoelderl That GitHub issue is so big it crashed my (not weedy) phone! I can't remember the name of the technique I use; something like inline filter type guards?

  • torb_xyz Torb 🦋 (@torb_xyz) reported

    A big problem with a lot of AI tech these days (whether GitHub Copilot or image generators) is that they seem to (at least some of the time) just outright copy stuff. I think Ai *can* be a good thing, but stuff like that needs to be sorted out.

  • DocSparse Tim Davis (@DocSparse) reported

    @nickreal03 @github Sadly it wouldn't help since many others posted my codes to github before I ever started using it. They posted it with my copyright and GNU LGPL license preserved, which is fine. But it means just moving my code away from github, or even never using it, would solve the problem.

  • DocSparse Tim Davis (@DocSparse) reported

    @larrygritz @github Yes that’s what I found. So consider the case where some is editing a code that uses mine. Maybe they don’t even see my source, just -lcsparse. Say they want to replace it with their “own” code but keep the API (no problem so far). So they enter the prompt “cs_transpose” …
