  • foxladysally Your Pal Sal (@foxladysally) reported

    wanted to download something so i had to enter a discord server, hunt around for how to get verified, and am now waiting to get accepted to even see the link JUST MAKE A GITHUB PAGE JESUS CHRIST

  • LurkingPhoebe Phoebe 🏳️‍⚧️ CEO of Lurking Stands with Ukraine (@LurkingPhoebe) reported

    @workingjubilee There's also the fact that I opened a GitHub issue About all this knowing that she worked on it in the past and it sat for 3 days without even being acknowledged

  • foldfinance manifoldfinance.eth (@foldfinance) reported

    @seyitaylor this has literally been a tracked github issue since 2018

  • pr0zy T 1 D Ξ V (@pr0zy) reported

    @byt_inc @Treasure_DAO For anyone interested, the above GitHub issue is unrelated to our marketplace exploit. It is related to 'createListing' whereas the exploit is in 'buyItem' The issue above means an attacker can list a Smol for sale with quantity=2 and it will show up for sale after a purchase.

  • greenteastain Eponine (@greenteastain) reported

    @bobposting You sent me spiffy’s discord which was how I got hrt in the first place!! I haven’t seen the github guide yet but I also started voice training cuz of your server, I really owe ya

  • godfreymeyer gm (@godfreymeyer) reported

    @StrawberrySith @decentraland @IRLart__ Builders are head down building, and usually have work. You can put your preposal up on snapshot, or make it public on github, and try posting the preposal here on CT, if it helps, but can we narrow down web3 forums of work for hire devs? discords? Devs are busy

  • SidaChen63 Sida Chen (@SidaChen63) reported

    @sebsilbermann Is that a bug, or a feature? I mean, does it look like GitHub intentionally made the issue impossible to close through UI?

  • workmad3 David Workman (@workmad3) reported

    @obermind @LemurZA @wesbos With ***, you have an entire copy of your entire repo on your machine, and can sync it wherever you want. GitHub is simply one place you can do so, and isn't ***. You don't even need a server, you can push directly to other developers copies of the repo if you have access.

  • causalinf scott cunningham (@causalinf) reported

    Problem is now I’m kind of too far in. Mixtape Sessions distributes code, readings and slides via GitHub. As do my classes. And I have coauthors who do. So I accept that I am back at square one, and so I have to design the new professional workflow. 11/

  • hjwp Harry Percival (@hjwp) reported

    but in most pull-request / github-flow / code-review-based workflows i've seen, we just don't suffer from the problems you say we should. merge conflicts are rare. people seldom work on the exact same code. bugs due to two people changing the same thing rarely happen...

  • bad_at_computer Josh🇺🇦💛💙 (@bad_at_computer) reported

    @fasterthanlime @github Problem: Github doesn't run checks for new collaborators by default. :( But yes, this would be nice.

  • peteoxenham Pete Oxenham (@peteoxenham) reported

    @ARski34 @discord Community driven, open source on github, with a channel in the server dedicated to bot development. I spend all day on discord. The community knows what they want the bots to do - most canned bots that admins install are annoying AF.

  • unsound_musings Idea Unsound (@unsound_musings) reported

    @BiggBirde No I mean that you and I can, if we want, go to GitHub and verify what's happening behind the scenes of the smart contracts. And in the cases of companies not wanting to open source their IP, there are entire businesses developing solely to audit smart contracts for errors

  • bitboopbeep BitBoopBeep.ᵉᵗʰ (@bitboopbeep) reported

    Even the headline is misleading. The issue is a data breach; not a GitHub repository. Didn’t expect such spin from them.

  • nicole_local nicole 2: the squeakquel (@nicole_local) reported

    @cr1901 Ah yeah I don't mean web frontend, I meant just operating a server with *** running on it myself (vs. using a hosted service like github)

  • nemuritoare John Tetreault (@nemuritoare) reported

    @TGD_Consulting Honestly... I know you've invested a ton of time and knowledge into this...and I had no problem buying the software... But I'd really love to see it open sourced on GitHub.... Only reason being... If you get run over by a bus or something, it's dead too.

  • kidslearn2code Jim Stewart (@kidslearn2code) reported

    @AlSweigart I feel like this is becoming a less and less significant problem. If a fire wiped out my hard drive and time machine backups, all my important code's on GitHub and my writing's on OneDrive and Google Drive. The new problem is all my data's on someone else's computer...

  • wanghao50566209 王浩 (@wanghao50566209) reported

    @yoursunny Hi, guy. I have some trouble in using your "esp32cam.h" which is downloaded from Github. Would you like to have a look and help me?

  • OpenBSD_ports OpenBSD ports Change (@OpenBSD_ports) reported

    sthen@ modified www/py-werkzeug: fix hashes, I switched between github and pypi but forgot to regen. found by naddy

  • countchrisdo chris (@countchrisdo) reported

    @RobinUniverse_ Sucks we can't interact with discord bug request issue but I just thumbs up your og github issue on it

  • __Achille__ Achille (@__Achille__) reported

    Seen on an Open-Source Github project near you: "I have no intentions to contribute but could you fix this bug for me please?"

  • glyph glyph (@glyph) reported

    @olmaverick @eevee I know, but I have a recent version of Windows 11 Insider Preview installed and I haven’t seen it. If I do see this I’ll be sure to look for github login and report back

  • random_samples Jason Mackay (@random_samples) reported

    @fasterthanlime @github This would save a lot of time. I’ve seen Apache beam prs broken for some time. Tests are not always run locally or possible to run locally. No need to bother reviewers until at least machine verifiable stuff is done.

  • jreleaser JReleaser (@jreleaser) reported

    🍫 Chocolatey updates include name template support in packageVersion, suggest & validate licenseUrl, fix included GitHub workflows.

  • hjwp Harry Percival (@hjwp) reported

    whenever I see people enthusing about CI and being down on github flow or feature branches I always think "oh no are we doing it all wrong?"

  • bitboopbeep BitBoopBeep.ᵉᵗʰ (@bitboopbeep) reported

    Even the headline seriously downplays it. The issue is a data breach; not a GitHub repository. Didn’t expect such spin from them.

  • adrianjordonez Adrian Ordonez (@adrianjordonez) reported

    @sebsilbermann Can you DoS a github issue then? 🤔

  • szetoinsitu 司徒 (@szetoinsitu) reported

    @hmoshontz I’ve wanted to do the same, though my GitHub page is terrible and is not an optimal portfolio…lab meetings, conferences not as useful for data sci I guess

  • sebsilbermann Sebastian Silbermann (@sebsilbermann) reported

    TIL GitHub has a limit of 2500 comments per issue. Can't close the issue after that in the UI 🙃
