I'm a little unclear as to why JiaT75's github account still exists? Surely this should be nuked from orbit so that no one accidentally ends up using their shady code?
The deletion of the account would not delete commits associated with it. The commit would still contain everything potentially malicious, plus a reference to an account that would be deleted. Which is actually worse, you cant track what code a malicious actor has contributed (easily). So the correct thing to do is take away login / deactivate the account, and then start going through all contributions and check them via the account that references all of this.
Sure, but there is zero indication of that on their user page. At the very least the account should be disabled, all repos should be archived, and a big fat warning banner should be prominently visible. The current state of affairs seems irresponsible.
What I found was a bunch of occurrences '...' without a hyphen, which I assumed indicated the general trend, but on further searching I see that it is as you say. Nonetheless, if I may still ask, why?
It is something of a mark of style - which, since you kindly ask - I inherited from my father, and I use as a sort of homage.-
PS. It has also, countless times, saved me when I "retroactively" needed to claim authorship of something I had writen, by pointing it out. Most people either don't notice or do and don't say ...
I think it is. Also, as best I can, with my life - as do we all, don't we? Trying to be worthy of having been put here by those that came before us ...
Thanks for your attention to detail and the opportunity to converse.-
