   I think you're mistaken. This project does not "implement and API written by someone else". They implement a Windows API interface (MediaStreamSource) that wraps the FFmpeg library so that it can be easily used in various Win

    But... isn't _Generic part of C11, not C99? You actually require C11. Big difference.

    I don't get it. Couldn't it have cooled down already and we're only seeing the junk?

    I have TAOCP in my bookshelf. It's actually my second set of books since the first set was stolen from my work-place. I also have other books I haven't read.

    This is not a good article. The relevant context is missing: Corel has implemented a "Word mode" in it's product that mimics the look and feel of Microsoft Word. Mimics too well, Microsoft thinks.

    Edge cannot have feature parity. For example, it will not support plugins. I don't think they can drop IE from Windows due to enterprise use and LOB applications.
