Finally. Thought I was going crazy about the YouTube playback getting stuck all the time!

Universities often teach students to write a lot of comments, because you are required to learn and demonstrate your ability to translate between code and natural language. But this is one of the things that are different in professional environments.

Every comment is a line to maintain in addition to the code it describes. And comments like this provide very little (if any) extra information that is not already available from reading the code. It is not uncommon for someone to alter the code that the comment is supposed to describe without changing the comment, resulting in comments that lie about what the code does, forcing you to read the code anyway.

It's like if you were bilingual, you don't write every sentence in both languages, because that is twice as much text to maintain (and read).

The exception of course, being if you are actually adding information that is not available in the code itself, such as why you did something a particular way.

Not at all. This just searches multiple search engines at once and presents you with the results from all of them on a single page.

Why do they always keep using GitHub for this stuff??

XMPP servers and clients have different standards. Some supports audio/video calls

And the same is true about Matrix lol

What is the point of all these proxy search engines if they rely on the centralized servers' indexes anyways?

Correction: it's not even the indexes it's the results. So really you still have no control over things such as the pageranking.

It's worth noting that you can rewrite history after the fact with Git

You're overthinking it. Select a few of the popular ones and be done with it

I'm a programmer and it really is quite easy to implement lol

It also has the additional property of being able to easily transfer that asserted value anywhere in the world, free of censorship.
