in reply to [RFC] Discipulus's step by step tutorial on module creation with tests and git

Hi

Thanks a lot!!! 🙏🏼

Slightly off topic:

I have the problem that the GitHub version only renders white on black on my laptop. I think GitHub adapts to Chrome which adapts to the OS dark theme.

If anyone has a suggestion how to solve this?

On a side note:

Indexing of Perlmonks on DDG still seems to be broken

DDG search

Vs

google search

Update Workaround

It's indeed the dark theme of the OS which makes it hard to read on GitHub.

I fixed it by printing it to PDF, makes also annotating easier.

    Wasn't there just a giant episode of blocking bots that were scraping perlmonks for AI? So that would probably block the web crawlers too. I wouldn't expect perlmonks to be indexed after that.

      Googlebot is obviously not blocked.

      Afaik does DDG depend on the results from Bingbot.

      If the monastery decides to discard DDG (and Bing), it should probably not direct anonymous monks there when they try to super search

        This is definitely a concern.

        I tried the ddg query site:perlmonks.org "Key bindings in the Debugger" (as that node is, as I write this, a very recent top-level post) and it found nothing.
        That is as expected, if we've blocked the crawlers feeding the repo consulted by ddg.

        However — I got the same result from the same query on google. (And ditto bing.)

        Now, it could be that that node is simply too new, and hasn't been picked up by the crawlers yet.
        Am I doing something wrong?
