Thanks for this. 0BSD has been my default license since I discovered it. My only issue with the MIT license was the requirement for attribution, which always seemed like an unnecessary pain. 0BSD fixes that.


I've always thought 'web' should be at the other end of the domain, instead of 'www'. It takes literally one-ninth the time to say.


Stephen Fry once suggested pronouncing 'www' as 'wuh wuh wuh', taking around a third the time to say as the usual pronunciation. A pity it didn't catch on.


I've heard it pronounced "dub dub dub" for similar speed improvement


I typically drop the middle syllable to get "dub-yew dub-yew dub-yew"; not as fast but no one seems to realize what I did and they just hear the full name.


This option has the advantage that 'dub dub dub dot' is fun to say.


I first heard that 20 years ago and thought it was a genius hack.


www is useless anyway as you are already choosing to connect to the web by using the HTTP(S) protocol.


On the subject of PyPy, I'd never used it until a month or so ago but I've been working on reinforcement learning models for a final year computer engineering project and slow training times were a serious problem until I found I could get a 10x speed boost without changing a line of code simply by switching from the default Python interpreter to PyPy. (Average training time dropped instantly from three minutes per episode to twenty seconds.) I'm seriously impressed by the work the PyPy guys have done.


Did you use any library?


Not parent, but in my experience, PyPy is much faster than CPython on regular scripts, but has slower C API interop (more overhead calling Numpy).
