Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CodeBlooded_JS Daemon-Core (@CodeBlooded_JS) reported

    @DadaBen_ It think it's a matter of experience. Stackoverflow is still incredibly useful for juniors and github issues are too confusing for them. The reverse is the case for seniors and mid-level devs

  • cookiengineer Cookie Engineer (@cookiengineer) reported

    If it really was a server-side scrape of the archive bot and not submitted from a client of a user that modified the html already: Then how come the github session persisted? How come the user is still logged in in the snapshot? Just a few questions to get your troll rolling.

  • rackadev racka🚀👨‍💻 (@rackadev) reported

    @laurieontech SO is filled with gatekeepers. Can't ask a question there without some smart *** flagging it as a duplicate and getting downvotes with no comments. I'd rather track issues in github or ask on discord

  • encthenet John-Mark Gurney 🗑️🔥 (@encthenet) reported

    New idea, since copilot is taking random code from GitHub, publish thousands of repos with terrible code, incorrect solutions, buffer overflows and the like. Make sure they are forked hundreds of times as well.

  • JasnTru Froward Jason 💉🌓 (@JasnTru) reported

    @Kaiyes_ "I'm annoyed by this one issue in a JS library. I know, I'll create a JS library to address it. Oh, now i have 1000 Github issues to wade through."

  • 100_crown josiah (@100_crown) reported

    But God will punish people that close GitHub issues when the problem hasn’t been solved. He just has to.

  • 1108King Lakshya Singh (@1108King) reported

    Solving an issue on GitHub isn't actually about knowing the tech stack project uses...its only about working your way through the codebase.

  • Edeediong Edidiong Etuk (@Edeediong) reported

    @laurieontech I share the same views too! Maybe it’s because I work with a lot of open source tools at work. But 80% of my fixes are found in GitHub issues. I contribute too!!

  • manutells Emanuele Manco (@manutells) reported

    @refactorfiend @github Imagine one day we might just shove acceptance criteria down to the AI.

  • peres Rui Peres (@peres) reported

    @chicgeek I would use Github issues much like I would use Jira. I would use Github discussions much like I would use Slack. Does that make sense?

  • OdderDude Odder (@OdderDude) reported

    Github/Microsoft is gonna get their asses sued soon and ngl they seem to have thought the community wouldn't care about this issue at all

  • sn_fk_n snufkin (@sn_fk_n) reported

    pushing 600TB of broken code to GitHub to make their AI licence theft project fail

  • _notKamui_ !Kamui (@_notKamui_) reported

    @pkell7 Yeah that's what I meant. We don't and can't know yet (or at least not with this issue) ; i still hope github does something about this, even though I doubt this is possible or at least simple to solve since we're talking AI training.

  • ChristophMolnar Christoph Molnar (@ChristophMolnar) reported

    Let's look at one of the hottest applications right now, the Github CoPilot, an auto-complete editor plugin (on steroids). Training data is observational: Open-source code on Github. Problems: Unclear copyright situation, private data leakage, open to poisoning attacks, ...

  • devsnek devsnek (@devsnek) reported

    why can i not convert a github discussion with 0 comments to an issue aaaaaa

  • rossburton Ross Burton (@rossburton) reported

    @hfiguiere The GitHub issue is quite something. People do love something to get angry over...

  • lewddrip ͏͏͏ ͏͏͏ ͏͏͏ ͏͏͏ ͏͏͏ (@lewddrip) reported

    let's see if github copilot or microsofts gpt 3 will replace us all or die because of license issues first

  • gizmobently Greg (@gizmobently) reported

    @mutableLoss @blendermarket i tweeted to one of your posts but did not see it. Can you help me with Sprucemarks extension you have on Github? I cannot get it or what to do. i see instructions. But not working. Appreciate any you can give on this.

  • JSAMcFarlane John McFarlane (@JSAMcFarlane) reported

    @janwilmans Finally, very few people use GitFlow anymore anyway. It is counter to CD / live-at-head. It's really only if you have onerous bureaucracy and/or very slow testing processes that you would not prefer something like GitHub Flow or GitLab Flow.

  • mattbrailsford Matt Brailsford (@mattbrailsford) reported

    @dadolfi @URL Spoken to @BjarkeBerg on a GitHub issue and it looks like the SurfaceActions stuff may not be implemented

  • spindriftpages David Hayes (@spindriftpages) reported

    @NoraDotCodes @mimismash Interesting, not a lawyer but that sounds reasonable(ish) to me. I guess it comes down to the difference between ingesting all the code for training vs using tiny snippets at the user end? Presumably Google crawl Github source? Is that similar?

  • TaylorAnthony 0xTaylor (@TaylorAnthony) reported

    @Iurpis Those are for regular usability and stability bugs. For security issues, they generally require a separate more secure channel. You definitely do not want researchers posting exploits on your github. Please reach out if there is any other info I can provide about the vuln I found

  • RagingAcid RA (@RagingAcid) reported

    1. download github copilot 2. # function to solve the halting problem 3. Profit

  • alfredtricks alfredtricks (@alfredtricks) reported

    @jsbroks - Can't make it work with CSS files in Sublime Text. - No problem with HTML files. - Opened an issue on Github, no answer in 5 days.

  • dysinger Paul Kersey (@dysinger) reported

    I was annoyed at a bogus warning from cabal (haskell) yesterday. I looked on GitHub and the issue has been open for 3.5 years (years!) Still avoiding success. One day at a time. :)

  • FallCheetah7373 FallCheetah7373 (@FallCheetah7373) reported

    @TVkachu_ Optifine is kinda done just the shader bit is left, I think bug fixes are ongoing process so yeah that might take some while, as they get 1.4k issues on GitHub lol.

  • ThE_JacO Raffaele Fragapane (@ThE_JacO) reported

    @cmuratori Whenever someone logs a defect you should argue in the github issue that it's not an easy problem to fix. Bonus points if it's passive aggressive

  • OPTV_Global OPTV Global (@OPTV_Global) reported

    GitHub, after the backlash on social media, took the website down, the company spokesperson said in a statement.

  • software_artist 🏄🏾‍♂️ Derrick Ikenga (@software_artist) reported

    GitHub copilot is what I’ve been looking for. I know what I wanna do but I don’t have the strength to deal with syntax issues

  • lexplt Arklexandre (@lexplt) reported

    How do you use GitHub discussions VS issues? I'm putting every bug and feature requests in issues but I feel like discussions could be useful, however I don't know how
