JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

At this point I'm pretty sure the hip new web dev trend will be client side image generation, why waste all that bandwidth on a png when you can just generate it algorithmically client side using a machine learning seed and this 20MB of ember react preprocessing look we got rid of 5000 servers this is so hip and new and it all lives on our partner cdn that goes down all the loving time but we don't pay for it so who cares

*crashes every browser but chrome

It's almost a thrill to visit a page that rendered server side nowadays, god I can't wait for that to become best practices again.

the onion used to generate its article headlines as images with some kind of php script so they could use cool typefaces before webfonts became a thing. you could just send it a GET variable and make your own onion headlines. :grin:
