  • parnexcodes Paranjay Singh (@parnexcodes) reported

    @eddiejaoude GitHub issues 👍

  • ftomasczik Federico Tomasczik (@ftomasczik) reported from Buenos Aires, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires

    @Literasi_Ngasal Yes. Let me fix some little problems and I'll upload the code to GitHub soon. Please, write me again to remember that 😜

  • ctjlewis Lewis (@ctjlewis) reported

    @isometre @github but yeah i appreciate that. should be pretty easy fix given that i implemented it for you guys also wouldn’t push back against the criticism too hard, basically impossible to justify nobody doing this over an entire decade, gotta just kinda eat that one

  • excid3 Chris Oliver (@excid3) reported

    @joemasilotti @collin_jilbert Yes, you're asking for support for the Pay gem, so use the GitHub issues / discussions for us to help. Twitter's a weird place to ask lol.

  • zachshakked Zach Shakked (@zachshakked) reported

    Finally, I stumbled on UploadCare, which looked great. CDN + easy mobile SDK. Well, I ran into a number of issues with their swift SDK (it's clearly so low on their priority list). Slow support and multiple GitHub issues later, I got it working.

  • andyhnk Andy Hinkle (@andyhnk) reported

    @adamwathan There should be a GitHub Action to automatically close issues that contain a “?!”, “Bump”, or other nonsense. 😬

  • feoh POKE 756,224 (@feoh) reported

    @migueldeicaza @github Which I suppose leads to the other only tangentially related problem where no one company should hold all the cards for any project's future. Hopefully one of the projects for a decentralized, federated source hub will prosper.

  • danbowe Dan Bowe (@danbowe) reported

    @freeCodeCamp I'm having 2 issues. One of them is not being able to log in to the forums with my Github login (bad gateway error). The other issue I could post to the forum, if only I could log in.

  • spin_fi Spin | Mainnet Live ➰ (@spin_fi) reported

    4/ As a result, the Tornado Cash website, forum, Discord server, and GitHub repository have ceased operations. On August 12, a 29-year-old programmer was arrested in Amsterdam, who is suspected of involvement in money laundering through Tornado Cash.

  • saran_pariyar1 Saran Pariyar (@saran_pariyar1) reported

    From morning to 10:00 a.m. I only use github and stack overflow and review others code and problems It's procrastination for me to avoid writing code but learned so much from it

  • provoost Sjors Provoost (@provoost) reported

    @ibz @kcalvinalvinn @stephanlivera Having a good collaboration tool for code review and issue tracking as an alternative to Github would be good. Maybe tied into something like Mastodon. Hosting the *** repo itself is trivial. For now the incentive is to use Github, make backups, and wait for the apocalypse.

  • apollo_wayne Apollo Wayne - Crypto Investor on YouTube 🚀 (@apollo_wayne) reported

    Only around 7% of all the money in TornadoCash was used for money laundering. The dev of TornadoCash was put into jail just because they don't want other mixers to come out. Even the Github files were taken down.

  • PiotrYuxuan 胡雨軒 Петр (@PiotrYuxuan) reported

    Certificate error with curl in @github action runs: (22) The requested URL returned error: 503, any idea why?

  • mivano Michiel van Oudheusden (@mivano) reported

    @github Useful to indicate why you closed the issue. Azure DevOps had explicit states, now we have something similar in GitHub.

  • Absolute_Virtue Virtuous Saint (@Absolute_Virtue) reported

    @zoombapup Tried GitHub classroom last semester, wasn't all that hot. Had to spend 2 seminars explaining the whole system, and they still had trouble using it with VS Code, not to mention *** in CL

  • SpookAWilliams Luke Williams (@SpookAWilliams) reported

    @alex_streza @eddiejaoude I’ll have to look into GitHub issues. I usually look at documentation then SO for examples.

  • beatngu1101 Daniel Kraus (@beatngu1101) reported

    @ChristianKuehn Regarding missing MR decoration: is that a GitLab issue? Works with GitHub at least.

  • alex_streza Alex Streza (@alex_streza) reported

    @eddiejaoude I always go to the documentation first, and if I can't find any solution there, I hop on over to the GitHub issues section. Only then I go through Stack Overflow.

  • StrongboxSafe Strongbox (@StrongboxSafe) reported

    @TaronRaik We have some tentative ideas for this, but still a lot of research to do. There is a Github issue for this, it would be good to get your input on what you would like to see :)

  • voikiddo Voik (@voikiddo) reported

    Finally getting the hang of github Cannot believe I done a course a year ago that literally required us to do heavy github works and all I learned is how many errors everything could make just by pushing golang codes to heroku

  • nea89o nea (@nea89o) reported

    @FluffleStuffed @UnknownSquids @SilentKannaVR That moderation is slow. You can absolutely find malicious content on github, even if it does get removed usually after a week or so.

  • ctjlewis Lewis (@ctjlewis) reported

    i’ve been bitching more about PRs and product bugs and twitter has somehow found this entertaining and engaged it unfortunately this has given me godlike power to affect software changes in huge products. i have put issues directly on AWS and GitHub backlogs this week alone

  • ProtonPrivacy Proton (@ProtonPrivacy) reported

    @markjgardner @ProtonMail We apologize for this. We have been facing some problems with the update process, but the GitHub will be updated shortly.

  • jesseyuen Jesse Yuen (@jesseyuen) reported

    @tomskitomski I can take no credit! Unless creating a GitHub issue counts?

  • pirmax pirmax.eth  (@pirmax) reported

    @w3Abhishek You had to connect to it at the time of a production launch to correct a problem... The problem seems to be solved! By the way, your GitHub profile is awesome!

  • rektb0i Rektboi (@rektb0i) reported

    @decentmoney2009 @brian_armstrong @github Kind of irrelevant but I have no issue with that

  • ctjlewis Lewis (@ctjlewis) reported

    @lewisl9029 @github you’re definitely right. it’s really a platform level problem - any input should simply block its parent page from unloading without a confirm dialog but if you proposed this, four consortiums would instantly form and say this would break every webpage and kill all blind people

  • adamwathan Adam Wathan (@adamwathan) reported

    If you wouldn't write it to someone at your company about an issue with their work, don't write it in a GitHub issue. Imagine literally ever using the "?!" combination of characters in that context 🫣

  • ayonzontop Comrade Tommy Ayonz (@ayonzontop) reported

    If anything, store the code from your lessons well with comments on github and write blogs on medium. It would be easier to reference anywhere you are than paper. Only use paper for designing systems, solving code problems or fleshing out an idea

  • pepijndevos Pepijn de Vos (@pepijndevos) reported

    @tomfleet @scottbez1 Maybe post it in the github issue?
