Now that's a... difficult company name.

Certainly one of the names of all times.


Of course the individual in the end decided to somehow make the article... about himself.


This is so cursed, there is so much that begs the question - "why?"...

I love it.

I can't wait for the next beautiful nightmare. Maybe someone should mix font rendering with PDF rendering. Of course, with a LLM doing something in the middle.


The answer is "no why", just for fun :) Though I learned a lot about how to stuff an NN model in a WASM binary and some tricks to optimize performance.


I usually follow with "why not?", but forgot this time. Thank you for this. Again, I love it.


Best reason!


How runtime-y of you.


You put that close to Discord's office, a bunch of bats fly out from the windows...


maybe not 9, to avoid breaking compatibility...


Gnihihihihihihi


I understood this reference.


I didn’t… is because of Windows Nein?


back in the day there was a healthy blend of win95, 98, ME, XP, and vista in the wild. it was common for devs to check for older versions with something like `if str(os.version)[0] == 9`. according to legend enough (internal?) software kept breaking that the solution became "don't put a 9 in the version number".

iirc they officially stated it was because of how much people disliked win8.


This is exactly where my mind went. The version string.


Hand wavy fears about the 9th version poorly string matching with 95 or 98 I guess


One of the most pleasing things I've seen in a long, long while.


Yeah, "Konami" has been a consistent bad time.


Apple is privacy last, if anything. Forgotten PRISM already?


Used it for a couple of internal applications for a former client, zero cost.
