    @TheNJDevOpsGuy @sidpalas Don't forget to back up your repos to another provider. Maybe GitHub and gitlab. If one goes down you can still use the other... Basically a business has to make a choice where to stop that meets their needs and their customers needs.

    main dev machine is in the repair shop. main priorities when it's back: - fixing current support bottleneck - shipping ptn roam depot with telegram attachments - ptn roam depot default hashtag issue (it's logged on github) - open support tickets thanks for your patience!

  • erikdarlingdata Erik Darling Data (@erikdarlingdata) reported

    github desktop thinks one .sql file out of like 50 is a binary file and doesn't show diffs. anyone know how to fix that?

  • BobAdoga Bob (@BobAdoga) reported

    Day98 I am not too happy that I'll finish the #100daysofcode soon. But, I'm thankful I came this far. However, I did a little code today and got stuck in trying to fix a bug and also setting up React. I did push a project too to GitHub. #100DaysOfCode

  • siamosolocani Federico Gueli (@siamosolocani) reported

    Today i was reading a nice debate about @WHO naming system between @firefoxx66 and Bjorn Meyer . I add that if it was not for this group plus Silcn, Agamedilab and Alurqu plus all other scientists/researchers proposing lineages on the Pango Github Page, we would have a big issue

  • ZanaGB Zana (@ZanaGB) reported

    @Sappharad even if that was the case, which i highly doubt when comparing it to the release on github, clearly something is up. And i am not even commenting on how the crt shader likes to error out for some reason ( i won't comment on the plus-specific conditions that will never be met )

  • jarek_rozanski Jarek Rozanski (@jarek_rozanski) reported

    @hammer_bram @euboid I see the appeal of Google login when app operator relies solely on password, and does not offer security via othe factors. Magic link = security and convenience Login+pass+2fa = minimum security Login+pass = ... well this, would invite people to use Google/Github login

  • webDeveloper83 Ali Reza🎖️ (@webDeveloper83) reported

    @malikobansa @hnginternship Good, then You know how to work with GitHub. Make a fork from my project and then make an issue, then I'll assign it to you.

  • mykalmachon Mykal Machon (@mykalmachon) reported

    Nothing hurts more than spending an afternoon hunting down a memory leak, finding it, refactoring, and fixing it all just to find out there is another, larger, memory leak in a package your using that has a corresponding 5-year-old issue on GitHub

    worst thing for developer is not finding your problem on GitHub issues

    1/ Last week, the US Treasury sanctioned Tornado Cash, causing ripple effect across crypto: - Github took down Tornado's codebase & accounts - A Tornado developer was arrested - USDC froze related tokens - Infura/Alchemy/DeFi front-end censored related addresses

  • headmold Manoj Kasichainula (@headmold) reported

    @bdowney @damienmiller @lcamtuf It appears to me the big thing that separates this from GitHub's Copilot is that code snippets have fewer bits than pictures, so it's easier for Copilot to make exact copies, making the issues there more obvious.

  • SyntaxError408 Vaibhav Kumar (@SyntaxError408) reported

    Day 18 and 19 of #100DaysOfCode- Created a react project with decent css (got some problem while uploading the project to GitHub if anyone knows how to upload react project to GitHub please help me out) Created a website design for internship assignment maybe got selected too.

  • HeroProc HeroProc (@HeroProc) reported

    After spending several weeks playing with Docker I can officially say that support community is one of the snottiest unhelpful groups I've experienced on the internet. Almost every reply to an issue/question is met with a sarcastic reply and a link to a unhelpful github comment.

  • tiny_rivers rivers (@tiny_rivers) reported

    @JenMsft @SwiftOnSecurity we have github pre-full the issue form with several questions for the reporter to answer. i can never decide if it's more infuriating when the reporter ignores these, or when they delete them to replace with the vaguest possible description

  • MKinyua53 Mwatha Kinyua (@MKinyua53) reported from Mombasa, Mombasa

    Fatigue's a bad thing. I have been working with a new tool since morning. Just when I thought I was done in the evening, I noticed an 'issue'. I even went ahead and opened the issue on github. It's after resting that I noticed that I just needed a 14-line override. I'm so ashamed

  • billatnapier Prof B Buchanan OBE (@billatnapier) reported

    My experience of GitHub installs ... Linux ... no problem. Thanks. That was easy! Microsoft Windows? Set PATH problems, compiler problems, linker problems, CMAKE problems, Library incompatibility, x64/x86 ...

  • MrDJ2U26 Mr D.J. (@MrDJ2U26) reported

    @twostraws @thomashorrobin ‘Sign in with TwoStraws.’ Lol. That’s disappointing that GitHub had that effect. Really would expect more. Spammers are so annoying. #stopruiningtheinternet

  • DevJohnBp DevJohnB (@DevJohnBp) reported

    @TiagoTech1 @genesisvalles More than 1000 projects are vaporwave? More than 1500 days without issues in mainnet are vaporwave? #Cardano is one of the most developed blockchains on GitHub I really do not understand your comment..

  • rickyflows ricky (@rickyflows) reported

    @skooookum @PerpetualUse everyone on github says this list is broken since 2021. I'll mute that **** anyways

  • ewe2 Citizen McPenguin (@ewe2) reported

    Don't you love the confidence of devs on github who don't have an issues tab because their code is so wonderful. 🤦 Looking at one who has no idea his SSL code is completely out of date and breaks compilation, oh well, no one's going to use THAT feature. 🙄

  • derleek Derek Robert Adair (@derleek) reported

    @axboe @cra This is why i regularly foster self reliance on github issues. Here are some things i've learned; 1) Redirect Q&A to stack overflow. I'm not teaching u to code 2) IMMEDIATELY close irrelevant issues or issues without enough information.

  • ARSALAN763 ARسAL (@ARSALAN763) reported

    4. Contribute to existing open-source projects on github. - This step is optional but contributing to good open-source projects will give credibility to your profile - Find an active repo accepting contributions and try to fix a bug. You can find issues in the issues section.

    @matthew_d_green need to fork github if you want to fix this

  • garethlewin Gareth Lewin (@garethlewin) reported

    So I never dev on windows, but I just needed to test something so I used winget to install *** (meh, brew is nicer) and then did a *** clone and got a fancy github credential login thing. Now that was nice. Maybe windows dev is not as **** as it used to be?

    @JamesScholes @github I tried gh auth login yesterday and got "'gh' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Thinking I probably don't have *** added to environment variables or whatever Windows calls that.
