    @Salireths Yes it's possible to make it work in ue5-main branch from github but it's not working very well

  • designerzen

    @thyliorus @Cloudflare Nice spot and new version coming out does solve this load issue, actually caused by the copyrighted model I am using being stored on a third party server. You're seeing it served from Github Pages as CloudFlare has the file limit that would only allow 2 sound fonts rather than 3!

    @ClintRutkas @wendyck @SwiftOnSecurity Kind of. I work in security/compliance but focused on Microsoft 365 content. Many people have tried to solve the SEO/docs problem. It's hard to beat because the docs get the most traffic. If there is an error in the docs it's GitHub so please file a bug.

  • Letsipa5

    @MWTlali @SuperSportTV I'm certain there's even Open source software they can get on Github to help with this issue

    @39digits @chicgeek @github Yeah, tried before but issues are _there_ - hundreds of them. Would be nice to clean that view up without closing a bunch. Maybe I'll give projects another go tho.

    I don't know who needs to hear this, but Kubernetes is a giant project with tens of thousands of contributors, and if you have a feature request or an issue you'd probably be better off filing a GitHub issue or bringing it up with the appropriate SIG than talking about it to me

  • heythematic
    Code with Thematic. (@heythematic) reported

    Ever copied a code from GitHub and the code doesn't do exactly what you want or bring up errors?? #Github #SoftwareDeveloper

  • MattMailaender

    @chillcaley @github I agree, having to use personal access tokens to check out private repositories from within the same organization is terrible UX.

  • _byroot
    Jean Boussier (@_byroot) reported

    @eregontp @clupprich @getajobmike I'll open a proper issue when I'm back to the office. I think it only happens on the very latest version of OSX, and GitHub runners are not quite up to date IIRC.

  • georgethms1

    @Minerdag @nil_foundation Whilst I agree that “announcements” have been slow and there have been some teething issues with the Berkeley testnet, you have to appreciate the novelty of what the o(1)labs team are building…there is no guidebook to programmable snarks but GitHub commits show good progress

  • tulchin
    Tulchin (@tulchin) reported

    @simevidas Thought about it, maybe you could create it without any work - only promotional work. WebKit has a standards-position GitHub repository now. If you create issues for things you would like them to implement (or fix) and ask people to vote by adding a reaction, that might work.

    @MrPeterLMorris Please, use GitHub issues, Twitter is not practical for such interactions

  • netwyrm
    netwyrm (@netwyrm) reported

    additionally things like @exercism seem to me to be obvious data harvesting / AI training fodder the solutions to the coding problems the users create will presumably be sold for things like github's copilot

    @pandeygaurav31 @Microsoft I don't think this should be considered a problem. VSCode is a free, lightweight editor that you can run inside any repository on GitHub in seconds. It's the best IDE for beginners. IntelliJ tools aren't really beginner friendly and are targeted more toward professionals.

  • shanselman
    Scott Hanselman 🇺🇦 (@shanselman) reported

    @brennadactyl @EmmaBostian Totes. I have one winget script stored in a gist. After I login to the GitHub CLI, I clone my dot files, and login to VS Code and I’m done after the settings and themes sync.

  • prophet_of_dark
    radical™ doubt (pls 💉💉💉) (@prophet_of_dark) reported

    @spacetwinks To this day I'm not sure how I'll reinstall certain programs if their github page ever goes down since there is no explanation how to get an installation from the source code except through commands that only work as long as the github site is around

  • deacodejar
    Steve ⚡ (@deacodejar) reported

    As someone that has worked in technology my whole life, I'm really curious to understand the #SOL exploit. Is there a clear picture on what happened yet? Malicious code? Related to the Github hack? #Solana feels like Microsoft. Build fast for market share. Fix it later.

  • akoskm

    @UdehIfeanyi10 When I have a problem with a technology let’s say a library, first I search in the GitHub Issues of the library

  • yuceltoluyag
    yücel (@yuceltoluyag) reported

    While downloading files larger than 2gb from Github, it was giving an error and the download was being reset. This is how I solved the problem, you can delete the fonts you don't want to use. If you want to delete Windows compatible fonts, delete lines 73 and 74 and replace ++

  • OwainEvans_UK
    Owain Evans (@OwainEvans_UK) reported

    @michael_nielsen What if GitHub added an opt-out option? Would that deal with legal issues for new code? (And how much of GitHub already has permissive enough licenses?)

    @devish2 Legend use github issues thread

  • tomgilder
    Tom Gilder (@tomgilder) reported

    @CapturedWarrior Because not everyone does open source, and that’s fine. If someone has 5 years’ experience but nothing on GitHub, should they be turned down? If you were employing a heart surgeon, would you ask how many operations they’ve done in their spare time?

  • BrianVS
    i0s_tweak3r.etc (@BrianVS) reported

    @BobSummerwill @Kevonomics69 @ETCCooperative I wish half the people who use “knock off” synonymously with “hard fork” would look at that diagram, or be forced to take a basic course on *** / GitHub. I remember the hard fork this past year to fix the GETH exploit we inherited from ETH. Not a “knockoff” new chain lol.

    @_kzr I've discovered your Github/Lasp project. It's the only working solution I've found online for accessing mic on macOS. I wish to stream mic audio into audio source. Don't know what I'm doing; not a coder. Error after error. Can you offer direction?

  • HrushikeshKok
    Hrushikesh Kokardekar (@HrushikeshKok) reported

    What's the latest activity you did in any github repo ? I opened a Issue today .

  • GrahamHelton3
    Graham Helton (@GrahamHelton3) reported

    Also, I'm not sure if this is something that other people do and I just missed out on but adding *** issues to my project in github (or in my case my self hosted instance of @gitea) is a fantastic way to document a problem or future feature without losing my train of thought.

  • elucian_moise
    emoise (@elucian_moise) reported

    Be careful what you learn. I have used Mercurial before *** and thing remain burned into my brain. Now when I want to commit to GitHub I type: hg commit -m "fix bug" Oh no! Why is so difficult to forget. Ah garbage collector don't work very well. I need more vacation!

  • NireBryce
    Nire Bryce (@NireBryce) reported

    @eddsteel like, I *like* nix. it just seems absurd that in the age of rando build scripts on github and also the existence of other package managers, nix can't build a wrapper and symlinks when it does that for it's own. I understand it's a hard problem but, lol

    github down... again and again...

    @BenPious More than once, past-me has inadvertently helped current-me solve a problem via a random GitHub issue or Stack Overflow answer. Evidently I never learn.
