  • yawaramin Yawar Amin.cad (@yawaramin) reported

    @rileywilddog @cellivar @github Again. It's not 'rudely discarded'. It's closed after a long period of inactivity. Sorry but no one has infinite time or patience to triage an endless list of issues. Sometimes people just want to prioritize. It's OSS, you are welcome to fork it. No one owes you anything.

  • phoerious Janek Bevendorff (@phoerious) reported

    @yawaramin @rileywilddog @github I have submitted issues to other projects where people keep repeatedly bumping issues or create new ones because of that, which burns everybody's time. I myself maintain a large project and we don't do that.

  • iot7712 IOT7712 (@iot7712) reported

    @marcan42 What is the GitHub incentive behind this? Saving money? Saving storage? Saving CPU cycles? Monthly performance bonus payments? OCD on open issues? I just cannot see why somebody needs to actually do this?

  • ChauhanT_ Tushar Chauhan (@ChauhanT_) reported

    @DocSparse @SecurityInFive @github Sounds like a good plan! It's the least they can do. If copilot has a paid tier, they should issue some sort of dividend per license sold to the people who actually created the data they are using.

  • phoerious Janek Bevendorff (@phoerious) reported

    @yawaramin @rileywilddog @github Also, if you close an issue it means you made a decision. You deem it resolved or you think it won't ever be. Stale is neither of that. Stale tells the user to tell you that they still care about you caring even though you don't, which is totally besides the point of anything.

  • LamontGranquist Lamont Granquist (@LamontGranquist) reported

    @dragosr @DocSparse @github They'll be "similar" but not identical down to names of temporary variables and comments.

  • King_Of_Skiddos Dionicio3 Skiddo (@King_Of_Skiddos) reported

    I would make an issue on GitHub but I have a feeling it would be closed as duplicate

  • DocSparse Tim Davis (@DocSparse) reported

    @GaryGregory @github No, it didn't but I'm adding it now. I wrote this code for my book, and terseness was an issue (1) to keep the code simple and (2) to fit the code in the book (the entire package is printed verbatim). All my other codes have a copyright statement in each file, not this package.

  • rileywilddog Earecibo Telescope 💖💛💙 (@rileywilddog) reported

    @HunterZ0 @github Ugh. Having to fight to even get an issue or request handled, even if handled means "hm, yep. no time to work on it now though sorry" is one of the worst aspects of proprietary software (etc), and this is managing to bring it to the OSS world...

  • IsinAltinkaya Isin Altinkaya (@IsinAltinkaya) reported

    @zilongli21 Do you know any github repositories using this in the issues section?

  • dragosr dragosr (@dragosr) reported

    @DocSparse @stijnveilig @github Could is for the courts and legal frameworks to decide. Should is a different philosophical issue. IMHO basic linear algebra is something that we should consider a fundamental tool. We don’t need or want to copyright hammers.

  • yawaramin Yawar Amin.cad (@yawaramin) reported

    @phoerious @rileywilddog @github Again, that's exactly what the stalebot does. It adds a 'stale' label and asks if the issue is still relevant.

  • rileywilddog Earecibo Telescope 💖💛💙 (@rileywilddog) reported

    @phoerious @yawaramin @github The point of an issue tracker is to track issues. Auto closing kind of kills that.

  • yawaramin Yawar Amin.cad (@yawaramin) reported

    @rileywilddog @cellivar @github And just because someone took a couple of hours to report an issue, doesn't give them the right to lord it over the maintainer. Issues can get closed for any number of reasons. Maintainers are not beholden to constantly massage the egos of reporters.

  • dzethoxy raptor1911 (@dzethoxy) reported

    my brain is actually compiling what i need to do for that blockchain thing, while looking at art. preforked tcp socketing i know from perl, mostly copy&paste of blockchain from github sure, but yeah a serious server, and a consideration of how many coins, a website, ...

  • DocSparse Tim Davis (@DocSparse) reported

    @GavinRayDev @github Yes, those are either codes that use package, or include a copy of my package, or are a port of my package to another language (like the java example). Just about all of them are fine because they all (pretty much) state my license and copyright. No problem there ... but thus ...

  • WizardCM Matt Gajownik (@WizardCM) reported

    @yawaramin @marcan42 Sure, but we're specifically talking about automatically closing "stale" issues. Just because nobody has commented "I have this issue too" (users don't watch GitHub) doesn't mean the issue has magically vanished. Users rightfully get annoyed when their valid report is ignored.

  • phoerious Janek Bevendorff (@phoerious) reported

    @yawaramin @rileywilddog @github If you value your users so little that the tiniest amount of real communication is too much for you, just don't maintain an issue tracker.

  • purpleidea ᴊᴀᴍᴇꜱ ᴊᴜꜱᴛ ᴊᴀᴍᴇꜱ (@purpleidea) reported

    @github I hit this bug many years ago-- your servers have stopped sending me email notifications. If you could fix this permanently it would be appreciated. Thanks. User account: purpleidea.

  • PaiNishant nishu (@PaiNishant) reported

    📊 @_rarityscore stats so far: • 92 github stars • 0 issues • 0.7Ξ made from premium support

  • jdidion John Didion (@jdidion) reported

    @nomad421 @EFF Yes you’ve got it right. I was underestimating the problem befor thinking it was just a potential issue for GitHub. But really it’s any copilot user who could be at risk. It’s really companies who should be scared of this and prohibit copilot use by employees.

  • Lankycraiguk Lanky Craig (@Lankycraiguk) reported

    @JASONsociety twitch records your streams too I dont see the issue unless you streaming somthing you dont want to share with the world github is a wash with free tool to record streams aswell

  • man1_kandan Mani 🔊 like "money" (@man1_kandan) reported

    So down bad, I’m naming playlists after her (my GitHub repo)

  • UpperCayce Linked Out (@UpperCayce) reported

    With the AI copilot copyright problems, are there going to be new opensource licenses centered on being open source as long as you don't post the code to github?

  • rezmeram Ramesh R: 🧘🏽💰👨🏿‍💻🛠️🎨🛹🎸 🇺🇸 🇲🇺 🇮🇳 (@rezmeram) reported

    @github Can anyone help? The latest version of code on my machine locally dates back to months back. I wanted to continue the work. Please let me know how I can get help. My login and password work.. just the device verification code is not sent.

  • linusdead DeadLinus (@linusdead) reported

    @cheatcodetuts My knowledge of devops stuff is very limited and therefore I usually use Netlify, Amplify, DO Apps or AWS AppRunner to let them handle server config. All I need is autodeploy from github, env vars, ability to scale (ideally auto, but with limiters) and logs.

  • DocSparse Tim Davis (@DocSparse) reported

    @dragosr @stijnveilig @github That is, those companies have a host of engineers and can write their millions of lines of codes, if needed. So why is my code so much faster? Because this is not a trivial problem. It only looks trivial from the outside.

  • luisbruno الجبر خوارزمی.زكات (@luisbruno) reported

    @rsiva @DocSparse @github the way to “fix” this would be to train models separately per-license: one model would get only permissive BSD/MIT/etc, another only GPL because the output of any such model has itself to be a derivative work of the model, which itself has to be a derivative of its training data

  • phoerious Janek Bevendorff (@phoerious) reported

    @yawaramin @rileywilddog @github If you value your users so little that the tiniest amount of real communication is too much for you, just don't maintain an issue tracker.

    Imposter syndrome is when your repo goes from 0 to 500 stars in four days and your response is “…Man I never knew GitHub had such a big bot problem.”
