I definitely agree there is such a thing as censorship by non-government actors, but Facebook plays a very different role from Github. There's also a lot of uproar about Facebook and Twitter doing too little to weed out objectionable t

No, government censorship is qualitatively different. It is specially regulated for good reason. The term isn't even usually applied in contexts like this one. This here is usually called moderation or content policy or editorial stand

Adding a useful feature that also does evil things behind the scenes can be seen a net positive for (uninformed?) users, but that is still not an excuse for piggybacking the evil things. You should let users have all the value from new usef

I have a hard time seeing this as bad compromise between expediency and process: "If the act is ongoing (such as someone engaging in harassment in #django), or involves a threat to anyone's safety (e.g. threats of violence), any w

Python caches the bytecode in .pyc files, so the compilation happens only the first time you import a module. In a typical Python start-up only the main source file is byte-compiled.

Different semantics: int overflow is undefined but can handle negative values, unsigned wraps around. So you would use int if your expression can yield a negative value. (You can't thus check for int overflow by checking for wraparound
