"Are these the most heard recordings in history?" - How the PEGI age rating recordings were made, and why €200 wasn't enough for them

"I'm interested in your view," he begins, with that recognisably deep voice of his - and so it is that our conversation starts like a maths problem. Try this: consider that a voice recording has been heard at the beginning of many video game trailers for 16 years, and that some of those trailers have been watched millions of times.

[Перевод] Мы переписали наш парсер WASM с Rust на TypeScript — и он ускорился в три раза

Мы создали парсер openui‑lang на Rust и скомпилировали его в WASM.
