They are exactly the same value, there's no difference between them, they're just different ways of writing the same thing. That is not new information; it is taught in high school math. The fact that it seems weird is an artifact of human thinking. It's not a paradox anymore than "Zeno's paradox" is.
As a thought experiment for those who aren't convinced by anything above: what is 1 minus 0.9999 repeating. It would be 0.000000, followed by an infinite number of 0s, followed by a 1 right? There's a reason that sounds impossible.
