The site was not maintained for 3 years, and was becoming increasinlgy unstable and slow.
While still serving around 5000 monthly users, we felt a much better and active service is being provided by https://paperswithcode.com.
So for all your open science needs go there from now on.
Finally, please be an active participant in helping out uploading code and papers, as well as for the computer scientists out there: making your research available. If experiments are not replicable (this means "code" on GitHub) it isn't really science is it? =D
(this mailing list will seize to exist as well)
Best to you all!

You can complain to me on twitter ;)
This lacks additional content or context. It is simply the author promoting some 2016 letter/article criticising GitHub, and then very loosely tying it to recent changes. It is self-promoting blogspam.
Yeah I don't really know how github works. When I click the OP link I see a tiny bit of text and then three screenshots. Is there a whole article on this topic I'm missing?

GitHub allows you to ignore whitespace in diffs by appending _?w=1_ to the URL [1]. They should make this more obvious with a button in the diff interface.
obviously can't tell about the edited ones, but there's not a single "juicy" comment by someone from Microsoft there IMHO? I mostly see external commenters misbehaving.
> With more and more content being hosted on GitHub it's a shame that you can't get notified when a particular file has changed.
GitHub is a Microsoft website.
