        This guy licenses his comments under creative commons for some reason.

              But whats the point of giving out a license along the comment? Are you giving permission to use your comment?

                Maybe it has to do with people stealing content to train AI? Atleast now if there is an opportunity to be a part of a lawsuit or smth they can claim they provided a licence. I dunno just a guess

                For non-commercial use, yes. Aka no closed-source AI.

      I hate foo bar etc, seems like a joke that was cringe that has gone on too long. When I was trying to learn programming I was like what the actual hell does this shit mean?

        Same. Really thought it was a joke until I saw it all over the place. It really isn’t that hard to think of random names.

          It’s better to have a convention that makes it easy to spot example names
