    #GitHub is blocking users based on national origin, citing US trade controls law restrictions....

    People from #Iran, #Syria, #Crimea, #Cuba, and North Korea woke up one day to lose access to all their public and private repositories. There's reporting that even people *who traveled* to any of those countries in the last 2 years are losing their data...

    And #GitHub has not said ONE WORD ABOUT IT.

    @xldrkp I am a librarian, I work in NYU's Division of Libraries but the Center for Data Science at NYU buys half my time.

    I'm teaching a for-credit course at a library school in NYC but teach a lot of workshops in NYU libraries one-off.

    The hardest part about getting folks to engage with git and git hosting platforms is the confidence factor. Instilling that confidence is step 1

    IF YOU USE OPEN SOURCE STUFF in the course of your day-to-day, consider sending the maintainer a thank you note: https://www.thankyouopensource.com/

    OSS can be really thankless, and this tiny note can make a world of difference.

    @ted a lot of public libraries do this for a fee for the general public, and most academic libraries deliver to people's mailboxes on campus

    Why can't I find a ruby virtual environment? Every time I try to get Ruby going locally I mess something up. I just want like Python's virtualenv but for Ruby.

    I hope to see everyone over on Gitlab if Microsoft acquires GH (or, y'know, before that, because GL > GH)

    GitLab open sourced push mirroring and added it core. This is a great win for #decentralization!!! You can now run your own canonical GitLab instance & easily mirror to GitHub for findability.

    Another reason why GitLab is #1

    I posted my weather blanket (knit 1 row per day every day of 2017, the color of the yarn depends on a temp range) on /r/dataisbeautiful and it was taken down for 'not being a data viz'

    It's a knitted heat map of the year. How is that not a data viz?
