Sue them.

Hmm. Has anyone ever flown a pirate radio blimp?

Giving away? It's currently screaming in the ears and flogging the ass of everyone to get the fuck out and stay out.

They did a big data purge years ago, and were already enshittified almost a decade before that.

Only "removing old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account" right?

Do you mean Mono, or did I miss something?

Yes, I misremembered some things. Apparently Mono has more compatibility with .NET Framework (for instance 4.81) than dotnet (the current, modern recently released in version 10).

I mixed that up to mean that .NET Framework proper was released as open source, but that's unfortunately not the case.

I do not understand why Google doesn't just explicitly permit people who pay for premium to use yt-dlp or other tools to watch YouTube however the fuck they want. Put that in your terms, Google -- so people aren't afraid they'll lose their GMail because they wanted to watch a video -- and you'll get more paying customers...

Seriously, there's even that "Download" button but it goes to some weird janky browser-local storage instead of just giving me a damn file.

(I don't think they'd realistically get more paying customers, but I would appreciate it anyway.)

Youtube used to have working download buttons on any video that the uploader licenced as creative commons.

The version of their app that used their V2 API also allowed downloading any video (local to the app, not easily copied) or even setting it to auto-download all of your subscription feed as videos came out.

Depending on the nature of your code, just throwing pypy at it instead of cpython can be a huge win. This very much depends on what you're doing though. For example, I have a graphics editor I wrote that is unbearably slow with cpython; with pypy and no other changes it's usable.

If what you're trying to do involves tasks that can be done in parallel, the multithreading (if I/O bound) or multiprocessing (if compute bound) libraries can be very useful.

If what you're doing isn't conducive to either, you probably need to rewrite at least the critical parts in something else.

Pypy is great for performance. I'm writing my own programming language (that transpiles to C) and for this purpose converted a few benchmarks to some popular languages (C, Java, Rust, Swift, Python, Go, Nim, Zig, V). Most languages have similar performance, except for Python, which is about 50 times slower [1]. But with PyPy, performance is much better. I don't know the limitations of PyPy because these algorithms are very simple.

But even thougt Python is very slow, it is still very popular. So the language itself must be very good in my view, otherwise fewer people would use it.

How is the name pronounced? Is it said like the pickle (Dill-O) or with the Spanish double L (diyo) or something else?

Jorge originally said "Dill-O" in a video, but I almost always say "Diyo" because I'm Spanish and the word comes from the Spanish word "armadillo": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillo

Depends if your code has horrors like this lurking in it:

m = importlib.import_module(requests.get("http://localhost:8000/package_name").content.strip().decode("ASCII"))

If you want even better nightmares, you can make localhost:8000 forward to a container running claude code with --dangerously-skip-permissions which uses an unkindness of mcp servers to control that endpoint on the fly based (amongst other sources) on 4chan's /b/.

> which uses an unkindness of mcp servers

I guess you meant "a feature of MCP servers which is unkind", but I couldn't help but interpret "unkindness" as the collective noun for a group of MCP servers.

That was indeed the intent. I first considered "a conspiracy" like with lemurs, but eventually felt that "unkindness" was more appropriate.

Better to let the viewers on a twitch stream vote for it.

Since this should be a rare thing I don't think it's unreasonable to require users of patterns like this to put some kind of special annotation for that static analysis tool saying "it may not look like it but I'm doing an import here".
