Interesting. So like you have rational numbers and irrational numbers, you have trisectable angles and non-trisectable ones.

Xi doesn't care, just like Putin doesn't care.

That's because there are two COMs: 1. The good COM, which is just a class-like ABI. 2. The horrible OLE COM, which allowed you to embed Word docs in Excel and the like which is wha…

I've encountered plenty of pictures with incorrect EXIF orientation, mostly caused by holding the phone at a weird angle. For example, if I hold the phone parallel with the ground …

Surely someone can create a neural network that reorients the image, even if the Exif orientation is wrong (JPEG lets you can do this without re-encoding). Sounds like it should be…

DirectX is COM based. Which means that pretty much every Windows game, and many applications (like Chrome) use COM, at least in part.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, can I get to pick the skin? Thank you so much...

Is there any recorded instance of Weibo stuff forcefully posting on behalf of an account?

Only a company run by white man can have such a position and support ICE which puts kids in cages. This is why we need more diversity at the top of tech companies. To fight structu…

There is a big difference. US is not gonna ban Google or Waze. China might actually ban Apple tomorrow. There are no courts to appeal. There is no retort. Just the decision of one …

What, your C compiler includes high-definition image and audio files? What times to be alive...

We are comparing here a full graphical OS with kernel & drivers versus a bunch of command line tools. And no, Win95 did include real audio files (if small).

And a typical install of Windows 95 was 55 MB. Which included a bunch of images, sounds, ...

Even if not, way less stuff hiding in there than in your average computer. Remember that these days, Intel CPUs have web-servers embedded in them.
