Searching an issue number in the list page's text input should take me to the issue. Sounds small but it's a frequent irritation; I will be 200% happier with Gitlab once it's solved, and my teammates even more so.
Hi throwanem. This is an excellent idea. I've created an issue about it in GitLab's issue tracker so we can move forward with it: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/25771
I remember reading a few years ago how GitHub and StackOverflow were the new resumes. You needed a good profile on both to have any chance of getting hired. It just goes to show that having a profile on a website does not define who you are as a developer. Websites go under, and better ones will rise up. I hope GitHub does stay around... I do not care for their "politics" but I like their service.

I have been hearing that about voat.co for couple of years.
took reddit a while to replace digg as well. a few years, in fact.

Damnit. I was hoping to cut this off before it continued, but apparently the whiners about this got up-voted to being the highest answers here. The person asking what happened didn't need to know any of this, they just needed to know that there was some inconsequential brouhaha they could ignore. Apparently the cliche is right: a large portion of programmers are sorta insular and socially awkward white guys who embra…
It's not the nerd that's the problem per se, it's the reflexive rejection of other people's lived experience and the rush to label marginalized people asking not to be marginalized further as bullying that appalls me. You can disagree with the politics but when it comes to name calling the discussion is long over.
There's just more going on with the sort of people who would get that up in arms over this stuff than just the surface issues themselves.

I can't speak for other browsers, but keeping a GitLab tab open in a background tab consistently causes my CPU dedicate 15-25% of its cycles to Firefox. I do file bugs against GitLab every now and then, but I haven't done so for this one because I assume that there's an existing item on file for this (and I don't care to look for it) and that this is all part of the the longstanding, "Yeah, we really need to work on…
Mmm, I found https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/521 but that was a Firefox bug. It is probably something in GitLab but I'm not sure someone filed a bug report for it. We have complete UX and frontend teams and at this moment all the views should work great, also on mobile. GitLab self-hosted should be fast but we're working on the speed of GitLab.com.

But github has a monetization strategy, they're a paid service. This is more about their headcount expanding and possibly losing paying customers because they decided to get political.
Similar to Twitter. I do not understand why the hell they get political.
(it's not about politics, it's about money)

Yes, "no Asians" as a hiring policy is absolutely racist. It is of course possible to be prejudiced against white people (and that's bad) but on a societal level white people don't suffer from prejudice so there can be no comparison to the racism people of color face. > Why is the solution not more accountability? More policies in place to make complaints about discrimination more vocal? That also needs to be part of…
> on a societal level white people don't suffer from prejudice so there can be no comparison to the racism people of color face You can only argue that this is true in "white" countries (I'm not even sure if I would agree that it's a country-wide thing either). In Asia, this statement is _far_ from true -- white people are very much stigmatised (especially in Japan). The world is much bigger than California. > becaus…
That said, the subject was Github's diversity program, and Github is in California. So Japan really doesn't have anything to do with it.
Instead of worrying about immaterial discrimination against white men, perhaps worry instead about people who actually suffer from discriminatory practices. Just google "diversity in silicon valley" and you'll find plenty of articles (with charts) showing you exactly how widespread real discrimination still is.

https://github.com/bevry/meta/issues/15#issuecomment-5529327... Copied: (Just found this thread; sorry for the late reply!) if we postulate that moving all of bevry's projects to gitlab creates a snowball of other projects and communities doing the same I disagree. When a field is as dominated by one player as OSS development is dominated by GitHub, it is extremely hard to break that hold. For example: Facebook domin…
Also, it seems some people are really scared of changes and would do anything to keep the status quo.
