My senior mother needs this. She doesn't use a computer, but does have a TV a firestick. I've tried showing her how to use the search of youtube but she is too use to how tv use to work and wants to channels to find something.
If this could be made into a firestick app or something and come with a recommendation system, allow some customization using topics instead of channel names and have them be editable and customized to different youtube interests - I would buy it
If leaky bucket means "manages burst sizes and burst intervals" then yeah, they are similar in that regard but they do it differently. GCRA is more analogous to a traffic light where its solely time-based and there is no overhead needed to remove/add tokens so you are storing 1 less state object. For all purposes its probably a micro-optimization but being aware how GCRA works can yield less code but perhaps at the expense of obscurity of a lesser known algo.
I think you understand the differences but I think its improper to consider it a variant of leaky bucket as various resources refute
just FYI there are better techniques for finding "minimal perfect hash functions". This is an easy one to implement: https://cmph.sourceforge.net/chd.html
When I signed up for ad companies they initially showed normal, ad-looking ads. Somewhere down the line it became "Click here" red buttons that used transparent backgrounds so it looked like a button on my site.
It could be the case that the website doesn't know their ad company is allowing these ads.
