How to override Windows’ convert command by ImageMagick’s one?
This is an old question, but the current solution with ImageMagick 7 is to use the “magick” command in place of “convert”.
Python file.write creating extra carriage return
\n is converted to os.linesep for files opened in text-mode. So when you write os.linesep to a text-mode file on Windows, you write \r\n, and the \n gets converted resulting in \r\r\n. See also the docs: Do not use os.linesep as a line terminator when writing files opened in text mode (the default); use a … Read more
sizeof(long) in 64-bit Windows
Because it doesn’t have to be. The C++ standard only requires that it is (if memory serves) at least 32 bits wide, and at least as big as int. MSVC (and the ABI used by Windows) defines long to be 32 bits wide, and MingW follows suit because well, the compiler is a lot more … Read more
How do I find out the browser’s proxy settings?
The function you’re looking for is WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser(), which is documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384096(VS.85).aspx.

Getting The Size of a C++ Function
Wow, I use function size counting all the time and it has lots and lots of uses. Is it reliable? No way. Is it standard c++? No way. But that’s why you need to check it in the disassembler to make sure it worked, every time that you release a new version. Compiler flags can … Read more
