fuck war

man this is crazy. such a valuable project, such a weird choice to write it in python instead of javascript

also weird to only support deno and not node

WARNING: [youtube] No supported JavaScript runtime could be found. Only deno is enabled by default; to use another runtime add --js-runtimes RUNTIME[:PATH] to your command/config. YouTube extraction without a JS runtime has been deprecated, and some formats may be missing. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/EJS for details on installing one

The circus freaks of open source

Sometimes I run out of steam, sometimes I go down the wrong path, and some other times I deliberately take detours, but nobody can trick me into mistaking lesser stars for my true destination.

The domains in which a programming language is popular influences the ecosystem. I'm deeply grateful to Jarred and Anthropic for giving Zig communities a chance to reroll for something other than LLMs. Hoping for better than a nat 1 next time
In a way, computing embodies the essence of humanity. We take a blank canvas of electrical fields - a purely physical phenomenon, devoid of inherent meaning - and imbue it with assumptions, values, and purpose, manifesting order despite a chaotic, uncaring universe; creating beautiful pockets of defiant structure, each clock cycle shielding these brittle gardens from entropy's relentless encroachment.
