J'étais aux Pays-Bas cet été, donc j'ai fait un détour par Record Mania! :p Malheureusement, il n'y avait plus l'album d'Angine de Poitrine à la vitrine
Photo de la rue Ferdinand Bolstraat à Amsterdam. Il a plu récemment. On voit le même revêtement sur la chaussée que sur la photo de Celeste. À droite de la rue, se trouve la façade de Record Mania, et à gauche, les restaurants Sojubar et De Pijp.Photo de Record Mania sur la rue Ferdinand Bolstraat. Le magasin est barré et il y a un vélo devant.

Apparently, if you activate the "Manuel d'Inkscape" menu entry on the latest Inkscape version, it takes you to a manual about a six year old version…
Screenshot of the http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/ web page. It has the title "Inkscape: Guide to a Vector Drawing Program" (fifth edition) and starts with "0.17 (Documenting Inkscape versions 0.92 and 1.0)"

the text is not bold, it's misuse of unicode characters which are normally reserved for mathematical use and are thus difficultly accessible to people using screen readers or who don't have the right fonts installed. on my side, it looks like that:
Screenshot of part of the original post showing "I saw some" followed by groups of characters that don't have glyphs in my font and so appear as boxes with their Unicode code point.

#embed mentioned in the avr-libc docs!
How to add a raw binary image to linker output?
Before answering this question, let's mention the #embed directive introduced in C23. While #embed doesn't strictly conform to the requirement of the question […]
Here is an example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
 
static const char abba_txt[] PROGMEM =
{
#embed "abba.txt"
    // Append \0 so that abba_txt becomes a proper C string
    // (assuming abba.txt is a text file).
    , '\0'
};

to add to this — as i can't reply to the post — is an example of usage of the word transextion, courteously of the OED : "Not only Mankinde, but many other Animals, may suffer this transexion, we will not deny, or hold it at all impossible."
Screenshot of an Oxford English Dictionary citation with the following text:

usage in 1646:
        "Not only Mankinde, but many other Animals, may suffer this transexion, we will not deny, or hold it at all impossible."

from text by Sir T. Browne, Pseudodoxia Epidemica iii. xvii. 147
(Thomas Browne • Pseudodoxia Epidemica: or, Enquiries into Very Many Received Tenents, and Commonly Perceived Truths • 1st edition, 1646 (1 vol.)).
Sir Thomas Browne (1605–1682) was a physician and author.

Youtube loads up to 350 video suggestions when you scroll down and read comments. Thank you Google for all of these suggestions.
Screenshot of Firefox devtools showing me getting the number of child elements of the Youtube video suggestions list. I am using querySelector() so that the reader can clearly see which element I am targetting if they want to try reproducing this action.
The Javascript ran is the following:  document.querySelector("ytd-item-section-renderer.ytd-watch-next-secondary-results-renderer > div:nth-child(3)").childElementCount

apple has done groundbreaking innovation, they have invented the mutex in 2024…
Screenshot of the Apple Developer website about the mutex synchronization structure. It describes it as "A synchronization primitive that protects shared mutable state via mutual exclusion." Under this, we can read that it has been added in iOS 18 and macOS 15. It is also present on other Apple operating systems releases from this year.
Truly innovative… developers won't know how life was before this
