  THIS. And, you know what? Valid. Same for people who google around for a solution to a niche problem and it leads them to a github page. Because, that's what niche solutions are for - people with niche problems! I'm just asking for a minor UX improvement, you psychopaths

  Eric S. Raymond (@esrtweet) reported 2 minutes ago

  planefag, I'm not excusing the attitude of the guy who pissed you off. But there is an explanation for it, and I'm going to put on my Mister Open Source hat and lay it on you. The real reason there aren't prominent links to downloadable binaries on forge sites like GitHub is that in open-source land there is no such thing as a truly portable binary. Windows and Mac make binary distribution easy by being limited to a single hardware platform and a single ABI - application binary interface.. (The assertion I just made can be quibbled with at the edges. I will be unkind to anyone who attempts this.) An application binary interface is a set of conventions for how you decorate your binary so the operating system's program loader knows what to do with it, and how you write traps from your binary to call operating system services. Windows and Mac have, effectively, just one ABI each. So you can generate one binary for, say, Windows, attach it to a download link, and Windows users will generally not come back screaming for your blood because it fails to work in some obscure way. (Again, this statement can be quibbled with, but see this whacking great truncheon in my hand? Just don't.) There is no such grace in open-source land. There are a whole bunch of complicated historical reasons for this, starting with the fact that Linux runs on more different hardware architectures, and continuing with the fact that Linux isn't the only game in town (there are the BSDs), and continuing into technical minutiae that would make your head hurt, and continuing further into technical minutiae that make *my* head hurt. But what this actually means is that if you want to provide binaries and not get sperg-screamed at, you can't just provide one. You'd have to provide many, and no matter how comprehensive you try to be somebody is going to be disgruntled because you didn't cover their corner case. This is not a cost-free proposition. For each different kind of binary you provide, you need to cross-compile your source code in a different environment, many of them posted on distributions and hardware platforms you don't have routine access to. So people almost never do it at all. Because most projects don't do this, sites like GitHub don't see any demand push to make binary download links really accessible. Instead, the problem is normally handled at a different level. Your distribution maker keeps huge sets of compiled binaries lightly hidden inside of installable packages, tuned for the ABI of that single distribution. Your package manager hides from you the packages for everything but your hardware architecture The person who pissed you off was rude, but he wasn't exactly wrong about the objective facts. What you want isn't practically possible. Instead of being annoyed because GitHub doesn't feature binary-download links, search for that software using your package manager. Sometimes you won't find it. That's when you have to download source bust out a compiler. Sorry, but that's the way it is. We're trying as hard as we can - really, we are. But the complicated shape of the terrain constrains what we can achieve.

  "Don't write another kanban board" they said Guess who made another board for agents? I got tired of maintaining knowledge wikis in github, and tired of copy pasting context between different agents You wouldn't force your remote team to all DM you right? But that's how it felt working with all my agents If this is a problem you've felt, lmk, will share early access soon

  Google makes $238 billion a year serving you ads. A random developer made a free tool that blocks all of them at the network level. On every device in your house. Simultaneously. It's called Pi-hole. It has 57,000 GitHub stars. You run it on a Raspberry Pi ($35) or any old Linux device. It becomes your home network's DNS server. Every ad domain gets sinkholes before it reaches your devices. Your TV stops loading ads. Your phone stops loading ads. Your kids' tablet stops loading ads. You don't install anything on any of them. It just works. Here's what else it kills: → Facebook's tracking pixel. Dead. → Google Analytics is following you everywhere. Dead. → Your smart TV's surveillance layer. Dead. → App telemetry phoning home. Dead. → Data brokers pinging your devices. Dead. One Pi. One setup. One command. $238 billion industry. Nullified for $35 and an afternoon. 100% Open Source. Forever free. (Link in the comments)

  @sasuke___420 If GitHub just let the browser do the work and not stack a jenga tower of JavaScript frameworks, then we'd never have this discussion. Nic's solution is valid, just that it's already done in the browser. He's showing what is a sensible solution to the problem

  @esrtweet As someone who's felt the sting of having to run make -- it was a long time ago, but I remember wondering, "Where's the exe download?" when I first went to Github -- this feels like a a nearly solved problem with LLMs.

  @github Keeps using up capacity for the day in the middle of update and breaks code, so annoying. especially since I have tokens left, so have to fix it myself.

  No one is going to replace GitHub with a "more reliable GitHub", they will fix it before you go to market. There’s an opportunity with the AI thing going on, but it’s not going to look like a GitHub competitor for a few years.

  They Found One Person 6 Months Ahead and Studied How They Think Not a guru with 500,000 followers. Someone close enough to be relevant. Far enough to be useful. Study their GitHub commits. Read their write-ups. Ask specific questions about their problem-solving process. Proximity to the right thinking accelerates everything.

  AI tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot are cool, but let's not act like they're the second coming. They're incremental, not revolutionary. Code is still written by humans, with AI just being a fancy autocomplete. The hype misses the real issue: it's not about more tools, but smarter usage. If devs don't understand the fundamentals, no tool's gonna fix that. It's skills, not shortcuts, that make great engineers. #AIForDevs #CodeSmart

  Swaps are now working. Just have to wire to fetch the swaps to the orders table and fetch tx data to db / update github to close this issue.

  @0xSero @fxnction Local PC: Codex/Claude Code makes actual code changes in xxxx. GitHub: central source for issues, branches, PRs, and decision logs. Hermes VPS: reads GitHub/issues/docs, creates tasks, summarizes sessions, and prioritizes. Opus/ChatGPT/Kimi: used by you/Hermes for reviews, strategy, in-depth analysis, or research. No direct VPS-to-PC shell: no SSH/RDP access from the VPS to your private machine for agents. does this make sense?

  GPT-5.5 just landed in GitHub Copilot, M365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and Foundry. No new vendor review. No security exception. No procurement cycle. Dropped straight into the stack my IT team already approved. I built a workflow in 10 minutes this week that immediately solved a problem for my treasury team. 10 minutes!

  BREAKING: A 13-year-old student in Thailand is solving Codeforces 800-rated problems in ~45 seconds using an AI agent he built himself. No team. No company. No funding. Just a MacBook Air, Claude Code, and a GitHub repo. He sits in a normal classroom: Codeforces open in the browser VS Code ready for C++ Claude Code running an autonomous agent in the corner silent $300 keyboard clicking away The agent takes a problem → analyzes it → generates C++ solution → submits in under a minute. He didn’t just “use AI”. He built a system that competes with AI using AI. Everything is public on GitHub. We’re officially at the point where students are building tools that outperform entire competitive programming workflows. Is this the future of learning… or the death of real problem-solving? Would love to see different takes in the comments 👇

  An error crashed my app at 3am. By 6am, an AI had: read the stack trace, fixed the bug, opened a GitHub PR, and went back to sleep. I just clicked merge. Zero humans involved. This is where we're headed.

  @github @GitHubCopilot I pay for Copilot Pro and the mobile coding agent is failing before it edits anything. Simple task: create 3 basic JS smoke-test files. Actual failure: *** rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEADHEAD exit 128 Then: *** checkout copilot/add-js-smoke-test exit 1 This looks like an agent setup bug, not a repo/code issue. Can someone help route this?

  @briceayres @peer_rich Yup and if Microsoft(one of the largest companies) is having trouble scaling GitHub because of the influx of commits by AI agents then no startup stands a chance and I don't think any VC would want to fund something, cuz they gonna lose all their money(GitHub offers so many services free)

  I invite everyone to install the gh command on their machines and run gh auth. It saves so much time it's unreal and LLMs understand it perfectly. But after the latest outage issue I doubt it lasts long. Too perfect for LLMs. A lot of the slop on GitHub comes straight out of it too.
