[Justus E. Moore and Captain Ward] received official permission to set up their daguerreian apparatus in the Capitol, including in the private chambers of Vice President Johnson and in the chamber of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs. In early March, Moore wrote that he and Ward had "taken many likenesses of the most distinguished members of the Senate and the House of Representatives." Even newly elected President William Henry Harrison sat for Moore and Ward in early March; their portrait of Harrison is thought to have been the first ever taken of a president, and probably was the last portrait taken of him before his death in April 1841.

For any losers like me who wanted a list of all the art owned by the White House and their histories: I found this pdf from Gerald Ford for "Items acquired for the White House Collection 1973-1974" (I think the heading is wrong because there are some things from 1970, 1972, etc.). I guess there was some controversy that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lansdowne_portrait was not done by Stuart

Even before President Nixon formally named it the Roosevelt Room, a tradition existed of Democratic administrations hanging Alfred Jonniaux's portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt over the mantel with Theodore Roosevelt's equestrian portrait by Tade Styka titled Rough Rider hung on the south wall. Republican administrations hung Teddy Roosevelt's painting above the mantel and moved FDR's portrait to the south wall. Bill Clinton decided to keep the landscape formatted Teddy Roosevelt portrait above the mantel and FDR's portrait on the south wall.

FDR: (1933-1945) Can't find anything here other than he had an aquarium and fish in here. I find it unlikely he would put a picture of himself up and Alfred Jonniaux's portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt hadn't been painted yet (1958).

Truman

Can't find anything here either.

Eisenhower

Suppose you want to set up VSCode with Emscripten. In my case, I am using devcontainers with Docker and Emscripten's official Docker image (emscripten/emsdk), but any VSCode installation should do.

Run emconfigure env and you should get an output similar to this:

...
EM_CONFIG=/emsdk/.emscripten
CC=/emsdk/upstream/emscripten/emcc
CXX=/emsdk/upstream/emscripten/em++
AR=/emsdk/upstream/emscripten/emar

Suppose you are wanting to use Emscripten's Embind with an Enum.

// exif-byte-order.h
typedef enum {
	EXIF_BYTE_ORDER_MOTOROLA,
	EXIF_BYTE_ORDER_INTEL
} ExifByteOrder;

// main.c

#include <emscripten.h>

int EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE main() {
    printf("sizeof(bool): %zu\n", sizeof(bool));
    printf("sizeof(char): %zu\n", sizeof(char));
    printf("sizeof(signed char): %zu\n", sizeof(signed char));
    printf("sizeof(unsigned char): %zu\n", sizeof(unsigned char));

A list of (some) of the runtime methods avaliable in Emscripten. You can also find some more in https://emscripten.org/docs/api_reference/preamble.js.html There's a lot more -- search repo:emscripten-core/emscripten path:src/lib/lib*.js with GitHub search to see the avaliable paths, but these are the autogenerated types:

declare namespace RuntimeExports {
    /**
     * @param {string|null=} returnType
     * @param {Array=} argTypes
     * @param {Arguments|Array=} args
     * @param {Object=} opts
     */

JavaScript Promise Integration (JSPI) is a Phase 4 (Standardize the Feature) WebAssembly proposal for running asynchronous Web APIs alongside synchronous code.

JSPI is supported under the following browsers/engines through enabling a feature flag:

Chrome: chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-webassembly-jspi

Firefox: javascript.options.wasm_js_promise_integration

Node.js: --experimental-wasm-jspi

	I wanted to see which browsers supported XSLT (caniuse only lists the XSLTProcessor API)

	- Internet Explorer 5, with the MSXML3 add-on; natively in Internet Explorer 6 ([source](https://web.archive.org/web/20010208095513/http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/xmlsdk/xslp44kx.htm))
	- Mozilla 0.9 ([source](https://web.archive.org/web/20010413155836/http://www.mozilla.org:80/projects/xslt/))
	- Chrome quotes [Firefox 1.5](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/1.5)
	- WebKit 3 ([source](https://www.webkit.org/blog/122/webkit-3-10-new-things/)), WebKit used to have an [Open Source page](https://web.archive.org/web/20061011203342/http://webkit.org/projects/xslt/index.html) on this
	- Chrome: just says 1 ([source](https://chromestatus.com/feature/4730954895589376))

	> A use counter measurement from the Chrome Beta channel indicates that less than 0.02% of page views use XSLT. Moreover, less than 0.003% of page view use the XSLT processing instruction. (The balance use XSLT via the XSLT
