I suspected it was a smaller channel, but didn’t look myself. I haven’t heard of them up until this point so this story could be a particularly big opportunity for them, so it makes sense why they are choosing the delivery method that they are
My guy take it down a notch, damn. I’m not calling for his head on a pike, I have legitimate and valid criticisms. I apologize if the tone came off more critical than I meant it but hot hell you came in spicy.
But, to address your issue:
Why does one wrong make a right? Why does him exposing the issue invalidate any criticisms or expectations of quality or integrity? To me it does not, hence why I criticize. And I even said I was glad the information is coming to light, and I’m grateful for him drawing attention to it, I just wish it could have been done a little more tactfully is all. I would like to have all the information right now, rather than waiting for a “part 2”.
I also just don’t appreciate the stoking of anger, which has clearly worked. Ragebait is toxic and that’s what is being done with this story, from my perspective, so I don’t love it.
I’m glad this information is coming to light because I think that it should be fixed, at least as far as the affiliate link piece goes, but I find myself irritated by the sensationalism of the poster.
They’re really pushing to make this seem as evil as possible, and milking it for every drop it’s worth. Making this a two-part series and not exposing it immediately feels super shitty to me.
Just post the full information you have, if this is really so bad, stop trying to farm clips.
Also, not enough focus on the timeline. Honey’s business model has changed dramatically since it was released long ago, and I feel like the part two video is going to complain about the original Honey business model, which was literally just a coupon code aggregator, just based on the “cliffhanger” at the end
He mentions in the video that they stopped advertising that when the BBB brought it up with them.
I think for this story, the timeline is paramount. What Honey used to be compared to what it became are worlds apart. Claims they made when they were just a coupon aggregator should be considered in a different light than claims once they started partnering with vendors
I’d rather they not, but:
If game companies are going to do this, then they should just sell their content to Netflix or Microsoft and cash in on that licensing revenue while not having to do any of the work.
I do not understand why companies are choosing to make their own streaming services when they are just money pits that provide minimal benefit.
Damn they went hard on Copilot on this release

None of them are very big but they may be worth a try
Relatively new to Python so that’s news to me.
Other languages I’ve used support assignment like that but I always avoid it, but they just used = so I’ll give this walrus a try and see if the different syntax makes it any better in my mind
Python test coverage - Run Python tests with coverage and get rich results in the editor.
This one will be nice to have. Will be testing it out tomorrow for sure
Love this channel, I’ve watched his videos for a couple years now. His scientific method can leave a lot to be desired at times, but it’s still great information and I always keep them in mind.
This is one of the more iconic ones, in my mind, but he’s still going strong today
It could also be the language choice, which one are you utilizing? I could see some languages having a worse experience than others.
I’ve found it is exceptionally smart with bash. It often knows what to do better than I can, because I’m no master at bash. I’m proficient enough to know when it’s right though, and it’s usually pretty on point.
Like most have already said, the auto complete is top tier while the chat is hallucination-riddled and not always useful. I find that if I’m asking Chat a question, my problem is already so complex that the AI struggles to answer it without the entire context of the application. It will give me unrelated answers, fake answers, or extremely basic ones that miss the broader context. It’s really a coin flip on whether it will help.
I have also had the autocorrect make a mistake once and that was extremely annoying. It was the type of mistake I would have made but took way longer to figure out because I trusted it too much
I have one in my garage and you’d better believe I’m going to inspect it now
The streamer Atrioc recently made a comment about old videos like this that really makes me think every time I see a throwback like this.
He pointed out how our media consumption has completely changed, and that for many of the most viral videos 10 years ago, people wouldn’t even make it halfway through them if they were posted today.
“Charlie bit my finger” was so popular but if it had been released today would be absolutely ignored. The actual bite doesn’t happen for 20 seconds which is longer than most short form content
Wow you’re right, he’s the author of the infamous “is-odd” and “is-even” packages. What an odd person.
Someone in the OP PR mentioned the amount of energy used to download these tiny packages and its actually something crazy to think about
The paper doesn’t use psuedocode as I know it. In my experience pseudocode looks much more similar to real code. (According to Wikipedia I’m more used to mathematical pseudocode)
I’ve never been a fan because writing some simplified Python seems better. Or even better, writing Python that doesn’t necessarily follow every syntax rule to a T and takes liberties where necessary to improve readability
I was curious, so here’s the original post on Stack Overflow: Link (Archive Link)
