Thanks for responding here, in the pull request, and committing to respond to the parent poster. That's more than required, and welcome. In general I reckon a lot of us in tech believe that our e-mail addresses "are out there any

Are you thinking along the lines of GitHub co-pilot with this concern, out of interest? Or are there other scenarios where you think people would want their code to be public, but not indexed/crawled?

Python seems fairly pleasant to me. Experimenting with code using the interpreter is straightforward -- even when re-using methods or classes from large codebases -- built-in help and documentation is available in the same interactive envi

If behvaiours cause damage to (inter)national safety, then cheating - in ways that are generally hard to hide - should become a lot less socially acceptable. People will also, I reckon, begin to realize that a lot of the externalities from

"Prison reform" is probably the search term to begin with, and then look for advocacy groups that align with your interests and abilities to contribute from there. You might also be curious to learn about some of the Scandinavian

Opinions may vary, but I think it's nice to keep the developer experience concise and simple, and for continuous intregration to perform exactly the same steps. That could distill down to as simple as the single-word command 'pyte

Thank you. For me the AGPL is at the complete other end of the spectrum: it's a stake in the ground to say "this software must be allowed to progress", even if the originating entity ceases to exist. As I'll mention in
