Did they change it after the acquisition? Or is python why it's still so freaking slow?
Lol @ YouTube being slow
Look at the amount of data that goes through their servers every millisecond. It's ridiculous. All things considered, YouTube is lightning fast.
Maybe the UI isn't as snappy as it could be, but the blame there lies solely on throwing more and more javascript at it to add "features" that end users don't really want.
Aaand artificially slowing down video loading by several seconds, last but not least.
is it tho? Or youtub is just profitable enough to neglect the compute overhead cost?
YouTube is surprisingly not very profitable
Things is you don't crunch numbers in Python code, you do that in libraries called from Python.
It's a few statements of orchestration and any heavy lifting is encapsulated compiled code.
You don't do tight loops on Python, or if you do yousing it wrong.
This was mostly tongue in cheek, probably not very clear ๐
But yeah, fully agree with you.
