Yeah, this is pretty cool and they can fuck off.

#62Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yep, a bunch of warnings and then: Unhandled Promise Rejection: Error: StartGraph failed: $Service "kGpuService", required by node mediapipe_tasks_vision_face_detector_facedetectorgraph__mediapipe_tasks_components_processors_imagepreprocessinggraph__ImageCloneCalc... Warnings prior to the error: [Warning] I0000 00:00:1729008143.963000 1 gl_context_webgl.cc:81] Couldn't create webGL 2 context. (vision_wasm_internal.js…
Thank you! Yeah, that looks like the pipeline from mediapipe (used for ML face detection) has troubles initializing the WebGL context. I don't see immediately any settings for disabling WebGL in Safari, but I'm sure there's some feature flags for that. Do you remember touching any settings related to this? I'm wondering if it's related to some browser settings, an extension (?) or something else. Edit: tested on M2 a…
I went into Safari Settings and, under Feature Flags, turned on "Allow WebGL in Web Workers" and the site now works. I don't recall ever turning that off or messing with any other feature flags, so I'm guessing that this necessary feature is off by default in at least some versions of Safari. Web development must be so fun, I feel for you.

#63This is 100% the kind of thing I was hoping for when daydreaming "what will the internet be like 20 years from now" growing up. Cool design, hilariously overpowered backend to do something basic (but do it so well), and 0 of the corporate feeling or ad apocalypse. Awesome stuff!

#65Thanks I hate it.
Seriously tho, I've already used this twice at work today.

#66A rudimentary version of this used to be integrated into Giphy[1], but it seems to be broken now, meaning the market is wide open for this! ;)

#67Found a bug If *after* generating a gif you change the gif size (bigger in my case) the new gif has the sunglasses appear in the same place. But if I change the size first and then generate everything work fine. Hope I explained it right
Should be fixed by https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/commit/7728d06c90c437...

Hahah, so true! One clarification, though: while I'm sure the backend is overpowered (Cloudflare Pages, easily handling the Hug of Death from HN), but in this case it's only serving static resources. All the hard work is done by the hilariously overpowered devices we carry in our pockets or use for everything but serious work ;)

#69This is actually really neat. I like the configurability. Is there an option to change glasses size that I missed? I think that's the only thing I noticed I couldn't do when playing around with it.
* Found it, there is a small indicator in bottom right of glasses that allows dragging out to resize. Thanks all!

#70Thanks for sharing this. I love tiny projects like this, especially if they’re over engineered. The job market is rough. I have no doubt you were considered, and they were interested, but everyone is giving their all right now. Someone likely submitted something even cooler, somehow.
> somehow yeah by recycling their project from a previous interview and adding more to it I just don't engage in that kind of assessment anymore, the job market isn’t thaaaat tough to need to compromise or, put another way, jumping through that hoop will not solve your interview progress as its just far too subjective. other hoops are just as fine
To clarify - I wrote this tool as my own initiative. On top of the "normal" process (that involved multiple interviews and a day paid trial). I was really excited about the opportunity and wanted to go the extra mile.
