In high school I used to watch Onur's lectures while he was still at CMU. Probably a significant reason for where I am now.
Where are you?
I am guessing he is at ETH Zurich

It also works for Facebook (!), though FB keeps changing the API / keys so make sure to keep an updated youtube-dl.
> It also works for Facebook (!) People often assume that youtube-dl only works with YouTube because of the name, but it actually works with a really huge amount of sites, including Vimeo and Twitch. You can see the full list of extractors that they have in the source here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/tree/master/youtube_d...
Perhaps they should just rename it to something more generic like "video-dl", but then again I suspect its primary use is for YouTube and the other sites are just "extras" it grew over time.

#53I’m looking for almost exactly this, but an abstraction or two higher - software architecture. Almost like SICP but as a course where I can follow along in more bite size chunks with video lectures. Does anyone have a recommended course?
The class doesn't exist because the adequately architected software barely exists.
Isn't that the truth. Sometimes I feel like the only sane person in an insane world when no one seems to admit that no one really understands how to architect software.

Though it is not a course,I would recommend the book, "Computing Systems:A Programmers Perspective" by Randall Bryant and David O' Hallaron. I especially like its full focus on x86-64, explaining the behaviour of a modern processor, including extensive coverage of floating point functionality, which most introductory books only cover perfunctorily.
A rare computer arch book written with programmers as the intended audience.

#55The lectures are by Onur Mutlu, an ex-CMU prof and a gifted teacher. He also teaches stuff on memory systems and digital design of circuits.
All of his course videos are available online on his youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIwQ8uOeRFgOEvBLYc3kc3g/pla...

I've actually started to hate YouTube so much (just for being terrible to content-creators and consumers, and supporting toxic videos (time watched is a ranking factor, promoting high-engagement "edgeline videos)), and so on and so forth) that I wanted to create a white-label HTML video player that would keep the benefits of a consistent, well-made UI but drop the publisher aspect of YouTube. I don't think I ever wil…
And the player needs to fit into an ecosystem that will cover the bandwidth costs of the video it streams. I don't think that's a simple part of the system if one is seeking to avoid having any advertising (a good goal, that I'm absolutely for).
PeerTube is what you're looking for there. youtube-dl already supports it. Not sure if it deals with bit rate adaptation well, or at all.

#58As someone who taught this at a top 10 university, it doesn't look to me like a very good course. I feel like you should have all the basics to design a CPU by the end of the course and this course fails completely to teach the Breadth necessary for CPU design

#59Too bad they host their course videos on Youtube. It has become painful to use. I don't understand why they cannot host them on their own server.
Interested to hear how you think self-hosted video is superior to Youtube, I have found the opposite to be true in every circumstance (unless you are without adblocker for some reason).
Here is a good example, if you are in Germany, thanks to our GEMA friends you may be unable to watch a talk if it is on YouTube.
While this might occur also with self hosted, YouTube is their main target and what they mostly care about.
