Are there existing tools you love (or hate) that do something similar?
This sounds similar to "Static code analysis" tools. Especially now that these code analysis tools are getting AI integrations.
For example we use coderabbit.ai. That does a code review on PRs in github, and reviews these sort of things. Especially the simpler things that you've mentioned like poor naming conventions, violations of language-specific best practices, and readability issues. I'm not sure if it will automatically come up with "large refactoring opportunities" by default - but maybe you can custom-prompt configure it to try, I guess
(Comment) Why have a separate webpage if such of helper can be built into IDE/editor?
Coderabbit also has IDE extensions: https://www.coderabbit.ai/ide - I think the separate webpage exists for org level configurations and overviews. These "best practices" are probably defined on a team level to ensure everyone uses the same code-style and things like that
I'm not sure if "just a website to copypaste code and get reviews" is really a good idea. Maybe for juniors that want to review one class or method or something. But usually code is spread across multiple files, and structural refactor opportunities are on a larger scale then just a couple files
On September 19, Ruby Central, a nonprofit organization that manages RubyGems.org, a platform for sharing Ruby code and libraries, asserted control over several GitHub repositories for Ruby Gems as well as other critical Ruby open source projects that the rest of the Ruby development community relies on.
Uhm, so how does this happen? If some people create Ruby Gems and host them under their own github account, how would Ruby Central suddenly assert control over them?
I've seem so many ads for Brave Browser... If it's supposed to be private and anonymous and a free browser - where are they getting all this money for all those ads?

Reality Check #1 19/20
This thing messed me up:

They both looked like they could be AI - but to me it looks like that one has an AI artifact
You really have time to consider all those aspects of every individual torrent?
If the disks are getting full, just buy another 30 TB disk and add it to the server....
My suspicion is that this essay is marketing. It would be bad for Microsoft if people thought its product could be sentient
Why would it be bad if people thought it could be sentient? If people are using AI for an "AI Girlfriend" or therapist or something - people would probably prefer to believe they're chatting with something sentient
instead of giving you the real IP, it points you to one of their proxy servers located in a country without the ID requirement.
Sounds a bit weird, if it's just pure dns. Because if your dns server gives you a random proxy server instead, it sounds like this would break https right?
This sounds like a good way to combat AIs...
Like instead of a Cloudflare blocking AI requests, it would be funnier if the website can detect that an AI is "searching the web" as they do - and then just inject an answer of "Yea to solve that issue, run sudo rm -rf /"
You don't get it. This was made in GameMaker Studio 1.4, which doesn't support a modulo operator. You know nothing about this specific framework. I have 8 years of experience and hacked governments. There's no reason to update it now, because it runs on a smart fridge at maximum capacity.
If it's "open source hardware" wouldn't it be pretty easy to put it different screens?
Like it also only had a 2 GB SD card.. I'd guess most people would upgrade that
