GitHub Student Dev Pack, and Global Campus access

[IMGROOT2]

FYI: I’m ruhan lol, I followed @grimsteel like 5 mins ago

Hey Siddhant! I guess this is the place where I can contact you now lol. GitHub student benefits is so cool! You get JetBrains ULTIMATE (bro it’s like 50 dollars a month), GitHub pro, GITHUB COPILOT (bro it’s so cool! I installed it onto IntelliJ idea and it’s literally auto programming!), and so many free camps, events, custom domain names (very cool for vocabustudy), and so so much more. if you find any more cool things lmk because it’s really cool!

Exactly! For the past like 3 months I've been scrolling through that GitHub student benefits page wondering when I would ever be able to get access... Speaking of GitHub Copilot, IT LITERALLY KNOWS WHAT I WANT TO DO BEFORE I DO! I've heard so much about JetBrains/IntelliJ but I never really used it. It's a java ide right?

Also while the software is cool, you have to admit: Physical stuff is even cooler

Actually nvm those discounts aren't that good. "50% off Arduino Due" - you can get it cheaper off the black market on a bunch of websites

Some more things that seemed interesting:

• LingoHub localization for free!! - 99 pounds per month value),
• ConfigCat feature flags - I can turn on/off features in Vocabustudy if something goes wrong - $99/month value
• CryptoLens software licensing/selling - if we want to make a product that people pay for (evil grin) then we can license it with this

About the domains: they seem to be on weird tlds (.me, .tech, .live)...

[IMGROOT2]

Nice, that's really cool!

[grimsteel]

am I missing something

Hmm I definitely remember seeing that limit in Google Drive but it changed to "Unlimited" now
Either way is there that much difference between 1024 pbs and unlimited?

[IMGROOT2]

I need to go get some stuff done lol. I might get onto github soon later. Bye!

[grimsteel]

Same I need to do HW.

Hmm I definitely remember seeing that limit in Google Drive but it changed to "Unlimited" now Either way is there that much difference between 1024 pbs and unlimited?

Yeah lol, not that much of a difference. Literally only google or Microsoft needs that much storage, and that's probably for renting it out!

[grimsteel]

Codespaces?

That just started appearing today but I can't seem to access Codespaces...

[grimsteel]

@For-0 is an organization, but it is also an account, just like @grimsteel. AFAIK, @grimsteel is a Pro account, but @For-0 is a free account. So, @For-0 does not have codespaces, bc it is free.

I'm well aware - but Codespaces are not a user-level feature. From the docs, it seems that they are a feature that can exclusively be enabled on organizations. That's why I'm confused about the developer pack offer - "what does it mean by anywhere in your account"? I feel like we might still have a chance to get this!

[IMGROOT2]

i'll ask on the forums

[grimsteel]

I see you're braver than me 😉

[IMGROOT2]

[grimsteel]

Thanks!

[grimsteel]

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH @IMGROOT2 LOOK:

sorry I'm just super excited!!
There's a codespaces section in my personal profile, which seems to apply to all repos that I visit, even the ones I don't own!!

[grimsteel]

Well, we do have Github Pro accts...

[IMGROOT2]

LOL

[IMGROOT2]

have you set up codespaces?

[grimsteel]

No, I'm working on the dev container

[grimsteel]

[IMGROOT2]

@grimsteel I GOT IT!

[grimsteel]

Nice!!

[ShreyanKhanna]

@IMGROOT2 @grimsteel I JUST GOT THE STUDENT DEV PACKKKK
but uh... Idk how to use it, cuz I have the email but I have no clue what it's supposed to do, or how I'm supposed to like claim everything.

[ShreyanKhanna]

Also @grimsteel I have some other ideas for applications to put under for0, IDK what im supposed to do with them, cuz I've heard that vocabustudy needs coders, with the amount of bugs and things that are left, but I sorta don't ant to forget about them, so,,,

[ShreyanKhanna]

@grimsteel i was also wondering if you want to make it so that sets can only be given tags of one category, history, science, math, etc, so that we don't have US history sets in the math section, which is currently happening.

Alr I have also assigned myself to one of the issues I'll start working on asap.

[IMGROOT2]

alr cool, there's no need to constantly @grimsteel lol

[grimsteel]

I'm watching this repo so I get notified even if you don't @grimsteel (oops I did it again)
But as you know, all my notifications go in the trash

[IMGROOT2]

lol

[ShreyanKhanna]

Mb mb I’ll stop now
