https://youtube.com, so crossorigin.me doesn't work. I then tried redirectabob (Liam48D) but that runs on JS. So a friend pointed out that I could try URI encoding. But obviously crossorigin can't handle it, only a proxy which accepts a query string will work.You can also use scratch as a proxy… My school system blocks urls which contain
But Google searches for “proxy” get blocked.
Somebody later said “You can use Google's cached version” and I was like “Seriously.. I just wasted my whole break” xD
P.S. I wasn't trying to get access to a video, just seeing how good the filter was.

Sadly my schools filters aren't that great either. For some reason they don't block certain iframes but it blocks others…

On the contrary, I've had a pretty good school computing experience.
• BYOD (anything, not just from the school store) is encouraged, and they don't make you install any monitoring software.
• They've got people who know about computers.
• There's an option to do the national standards computing papers.
• There's also a couple of classes which are based around self-taught and self-motivated programming (and other digital) projects, which is where I do most of my programming these days.
There are a couple of bad points, but IMO the good outweighs the bad.
• Most of the school-provided computers are ancient, so they rarely see use.
• They gave out iPads to some years a while back, and while some people use them for work, most either don't use them as they have better computational devices available, or just play games on them.
• The filter is a bit strict. Steam/Battle.net/etc. update servers/stores are blocked, but not the game servers themselves. Weirdly, hackertyper is also blocked, which I think is through state/ISP level filtering, not school-level, so it's not like they get much control over it.

At my school, we wrote our BASIC programs on squared paper ‘coding sheets’. These were then driven to the local community college where students would rekey them inrto a card punch, and then the punched cards were run on the IBM mainframe and the output printed on a band printer. These were then sent back to us about a week after we sent out our coding sheets, sometimes but not always in time for our one weekly programming class (1hr).
The students who keyed the punched cards were not allowed to fix obvious typos - they were supposed to key what we wrote exactly, though often they were nice to us and did fix simple typos.
This was in 1974. There were no home micros of any description at that time.
You've no idea how glad I was two years later when I went to university and was allowed to use the interactive terminals!

A low-level programming language is a programming language that is used for machines, eg. Machine code or Assembly my IT teacher called python a “low-level programming language”
-.-
A high-level programming language is generally understood by humans (and compilers lol)

Python is a high level scripting language at most

Whether it is readable has nothing to do with being a high or low level programming language.
An example of this:
Brainf*** is just as or less readable as assembly.
