   @zachleat XL is European for “Small”.

   Have you ever bought a souvenir T-shirt in a European country? Good Luck!

         @zeioth @zachleat Are you OK?

         I was only mentioning that European T-shirt sizes are typically much smaller even though they use the same distinctions of S, M, L, and XL. Not sure how stating facts is racist?

      @ardouglass what’s wrong with JPEG small

      1. Andrew Douglass 40 min later

         @zachleat nothing! Sometimes small is better. JPEG Kei would also be acceptable.

   @zachleat With 100,000 lines of C++ for a decoder, I am surprised there is only one X.

    @zachleat I was wondering the same thing. Also why does the implementation take 100K+ lines of C++?

    1. Zach Leatherman 17 hr later

       @basus maybe all of the images are stored in a dictionary up front
