  • nex3 Natal1312 (@nex3) reported

    do you think Tab and Miriam would yell at me if I filed a very serious-sounding GitHub issue to add "mile" as a length unit to CSS Values and Units on April 1st?

  • honestduane (((Duane))) - 🧙‍♂️🖖🦁 (@honestduane) reported

    @eem3ss @jsstansel If a recruiter or member of HR is terrible at their job and they don't know the market ranges for specific job titles,. they can start by looking at my data dump of federal wage data that I threw on github of all job titles for all rates and levels available, dumped by city/etc.

  • abcdefghidek Archie (@abcdefghidek) reported

    @joshmanders @matteing @deno_land Centralisation can sometimes be good, eg. it's easier to get attention and contributors if you host the project on GitHub, but competition is good and GitHub/npm are the only players. The problem really is that Node.js is designed to function like this, unlike C or something.

  • xmlking Sumanth Chinthagunta (సుమంత్ చింతగుంట) (@xmlking) reported

    @amcdnl @github I am skipping websites/ services that still asking to login with password. If a webApp want to give good user experience, they should provide passwordless auth a.k.a @WebAuthn FIDO2

  • ibuildthecloud Darren Shepherd (@ibuildthecloud) reported

    I really love github codespaces but unfortunately I can't use it for day to day go development. The VM size available in the beta is just too slow. Working on k8s related stuff means large go programs, plus I need to run k8s itself. Just not enough power.

  • MarshallOfSound Samuel Attard (@MarshallOfSound) reported

    @luke_schmuke @marvinhagemeist @arcanis That is how long it took to download a ~60MB zip file from GitHub releases. Either your internet was going slow or GitHub was or something else was getting in the way. All the electron postinstall script does is download that that zip file 🤔

  • nickytonline Nick Taylor (he/him) (@nickytonline) reported

    And I also want to convert the GitHub embeds from iframes to markup in my own site using the same pattern I did for embedded DEV articles and user profiles or at a minimum fix the iframe as it overlaps other content on smaller screens.

  • RAYs3T Kevin 'RAYs3T' Urbainczyk (@RAYs3T) reported

    @topjohnwu Isn't there some kind of bot available for github which can auto close issues which do not meet the criteria? I think I saw something like this the other day. Will let you know once I find it again.

  • leenattress Lee Nattress 🍥 (@leenattress) reported

    @KatieFujihara Senior engineer here: the first thing I look for in new candidates for higher up roles is a github full of clever things. They don't have to be big time consuming mega projects, just problem solvers. Dont feel guilty, just find a problem and solve it with code.

  • s5bug Aly (@s5bug) reported

    @flancian the original site they were posted on: "user/repo#issue" automatically links to a specific issue on GitHub, so a shortlink gh/user/repo#issue should exhibit the same behavior.

  • dgb_chilling Josiah 'Crypto Messiah' Spackman (@dgb_chilling) reported

    @Sean17475349 @SatoshiLite I was too, due to rampant misinformation being spread (and not corrected) by his followers. Even Dave confirmed the truth in the original GitHub issue-tracker.

  • MagickNET 🧙‍♂️Dirk Lemstra (@MagickNET) reported

    It seems that @gitlab keeps deleted projects in the frequently visited list. And I really miss the "issues that I created" page that I have on @github. The default on @gitlab appears to be "assigned to me" instead.

  • union_io ian (@union_io) reported

    @dan_abramov says the person whose github issue comments are responsible for me advancing my career enough to afford a house and have a child!

  • cloudloghq Cloudlog (@cloudloghq) reported

    @flo_0_ @DO1DSH That being said the GitHub issues/discussions tends to get things sorted or added.

  • mattbtay Matt Taylor (@mattbtay) reported

    Anyone else just spend like 10 minutes hovering around and spinning the globe on the @github login page?

  • willnationsdev Will Nations (@willnationsdev) reported

    @_eons Well, I've ported it to 3.x now (yay), but I get a weird error when I try to push it. "Refusing to allow OAuth app to create or update workflow without 'workflow' scope." But the diff of my commit doesn't show anything being changed in the `.github` subfolder. ???

  • _panva Filip Skokan (@_panva) reported

    I find myself much less troubled by having unanswered GitHub Discussion threads than i was with unanswered open Issues. So I'm routing everything but bug reports to Discussions now.

  • deceze David Zentgraf (@deceze) reported

    @tinkertim Any micro-static-site-from-Markdown-generator thingy that strikes your fancy, then throw the generated HTML files on S3 or GitHub Pages or whatever. No need for a "server" if you don't need a server.

  • shawty_ds Peter Shaw (@shawty_ds) reported

    @pgmodeler :-) I honestly didnt realise you had a twitter until I typed my previous tweet out to be fair, and I just can't be bothered with github issues and forums etc at the mo :-) There are a couple of things in your build docs that need changing though, but that's for a tomorrow tweet

  • drahcir_rahl rahlzle dazzle (@drahcir_rahl) reported

    @DL8BB @arturo182 Not really they shut down the central server that it would ping when it connected to your Wi-Fi if I remember right on GitHub there is a personal server you can run but I didn't have much success with it. There's been nothing like it in the market since that I've found

  • Schoon_ebooks Schoon, Interpreted (@Schoon_ebooks) reported

    Go to GitHub Issues or even, gasp!

  • CatMcGeeCode Cat McGee (@CatMcGeeCode) reported

    @codeeagl3 I put them up on GitHub and deployed any projects that were almost finished. Then I was able to talk about issues I had when building them and how I resolved them

  • hoffridder ridderhoff (@hoffridder) reported

    @aslikr42069 I remember a GitHub issue where their guide mentioned something about manual memory management being important in some cases and it having the infastructure to have it but literally none of the maintainers could explain anything on how to actually do so. Seems cringe to me

  • amcdnl Austin (@amcdnl) reported

    @CircleCI - the user seat system is terrible - nothing more frustrating than having builds fail when a new user submits code. How about let it happen and send me a email letting me know? This type of "blocking" UX is not doing you any favors for the rise of @github actions...

  • tmcw Tom MacWright (@tmcw) reported

    @stevage1 as a replacement for github issues, imho we sort of lost more than we gained switching to it. but for tracking figma and non-code related issues, i think it could make sense.

  • infamousgodhand Huang (@infamousgodhand) reported

    @ryanbigg @SlackHQ is slack on github? can't we just open up an issue or something and ask them to fix the thread?

  • stuart_smiles stuart smiles (@stuart_smiles) reported

    @GossiTheDog @ciaranmartinoxf @ruskin147 Perhaps we should put it on github and fix if for them, using the documentation for o365 connectivity, (after mid october) somewhere it'll mention supported software so that'll need updating from windows xp, seems like no one with it background has read the docs to update.

  • amcdnl Austin (@amcdnl) reported

    @CircleCI - the user seat system is terrible - nothing more frustrating than having things fail when a never user submits code. How about let it happen and send me a email to confirm? This type of "blocking" UX makes me want to switch to @github actions even more!

  • alexdlaird Alex Laird (@alexdlaird) reported

    Month to month, visits to the "Troubleshooting" pages in the documentation for my Python packages make up less than 5% of their total traffic. The tagged Stack Overflow questions and GitHub issues created are a pretty perfect reflection of this too.

  • wongmjane Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) reported

    @topjohnwu Idea: sentient analysis on new github issues and automatically close them accordingly
