We have reached an era where JPEG artifacts are used as an ornament - like artifacts from film photography, vinyls and more. Perhaps spotting that in a demastering project is bending the rules a bit, but still - I like how it indicates that

A lot of comments are about this affecting existing unmaintained code and causing problems with upgrades. But couldn’t the old code be automatically updated? E.g. wouldn’t replacing every ‘except:’ with ‘except BaseException:’ make old code

The title was confusing to me, Winamp is the least impressive of these examples. This looks great overall - congrats!

Mind blowing. 50 years later we are putting VM in a VM in a VM to send videos of funny cats along with bank transactions across the world to everyone’s wireless pocket computer.

As long as their comments are useful, I don’t mind. Many open source projects are low quality or trivial to others - but still provide big help to some.

On one hand it’s unfortunate that people don’t get paid for this kind of help and perhaps act in a short sighted way (giving away too much control to the provider). On the other, a lot of these are people willing to help someone else for fr

Looks great, very inspiring. Some of these, like examples/blocks.svg[1], are not immediately recognized as qr codes by humans. This could lead to interesting possibilities; e.g. art with qr code/codes seamlessly integrated into it
