Warning: mail from Zwijnenberg Logistiek BV contains link to trojan virus malware

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/04

The below email I got is a mean one, as it looks very authentic, but on close inspection:

  1. The company “Zwijnenberg Logistiek BV” does not exist
  2. When downloaded, the linked form contains a trojan virus, but when VirusTotal.com downloads it it does not contain a virus, though by now it is
  3. The address “Demkaweg 376” does not exist
  4. The fields <<Companyname Ltd>>, <<Companyaddress>>, <<CompanyZIP>>, <<Companycity>> are all correct
  5. The contact “Nadia van Sluijs” does not return Google search results

Printing from the Atom editor

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/04

Atom is a great editor, but printing from it is still lacking, even though the issue has been opened again.

There is export-html, but it only prints the current source code, not the built-in Markdown Preview or add-on reStructuredText Preview Pandoc packages “Toggle Preview” views.

By name print-atom looks promising, but contrary to the advertised “Print current atom window using print dialog”, it prints the whole Atom UI, which is of no use at all.

The little red icon isn't an adornment. Even though it doesn't look like a button: It's clickable!

The little red icon isn’t an adornment. Even though it doesn’t look like a button: It’s clickable!

Then there is broadcast which at first only worked for me in 1.6.2 but not in 1.7.2. I even removed the whole ~/.atom directory to get it working: to no avail. It finally occurred to me that in the lower right there was a tiny red icon (which was blue in 1.6.2).

Below is the process to fix broadcast, and after that you can live-view from your web browser through http://localhost:8000 either of the rendered source text in the Atom editor, or the Preview pane in the Atom editor.

Even though hardly documented, these are the broadcast settings:

Only enable

Only enable “Broadcast To Others” if you want to access port 8000 from another machine.

Getting broadcast to work again

  • wasn’t caused by changes in the theming between 1.6.2 and 1.7.2 (where lots of colours changed)
  • wasn’t just an adornment: it’s in fact clickable

As soon as you click it you see this in the right pane:

Dagbesteding bij een zorgprofiel (begeleiding groep)

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/03

Dagbesteding bij een zorgprofiel

26-4-2017

​Heeft u een indicatie van het CIZ voor een zorgprofiel uit de Wet langdurige zorg en heeft u dagbesteding nodig? Dan kunt u zich vanaf 1 mei wenden tot uw zorgkantoor. Dit kan bijvoorbeeld het geval zijn als u eerder in staat was om (beschut) werk uit te voeren en dat nu niet meer kan.

Het zorgkantoor neemt uw aanvraag voor dagbesteding in behandeling en beoordeelt of u hiervoor in aanmerking komt.

Als u al dagbesteding ontvangt vanuit de Wlz, dan hoeft u niks te doen.

[CMake] choose 32bit or 64bit in visual studio

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/03

This might be obvious for CMake regulars, but given the help, I would never have guessed this.

Generate x64:

cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 14 Win64"

Generate x86 is just leaving out the platform away:

cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 14"

In this case they are for Visual Studio 2015 (internally named 14).

The help:

The following generators are available on this platform:
  Visual Studio 14 2015 [arch] = Generates Visual Studio 2015 project files.
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "ARM".
  Visual Studio 12 2013 [arch] = Generates Visual Studio 2013 project files.
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "ARM".
  Visual Studio 11 2012 [arch] = Generates Visual Studio 2012 project files.
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "ARM".
  Visual Studio 10 2010 [arch] = Generates Visual Studio 2010 project files.
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "IA64".
  Visual Studio 9 2008 [arch]  = Generates Visual Studio 2008 project files.
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64" or "IA64".
  Visual Studio 8 2005 [arch]  = Generates Visual Studio 2005 project files.
                                 Optional [arch] can be "Win64".
  Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003    = Deprecated.  Generates Visual Studio .NET
                                 2003 project files.

Lightweight Markup: Markdown, reStructuredText, MediaWiki, AsciiDoc, Org-mode – Hyperpolyglot

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/03

A great table with comparison of various constructs in Lightweight Markup: Markdown, reStructuredText, MediaWiki, AsciiDoc, Org-mode – Hyperpolyglot

It works much better than the examples in Lightweight markup language – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (which does include more languages).

As I’ve switched to “all source – including docs – should be in text format” years ago, I’m a heavy markdown user, but also use reStructuredText, so this table is of great help.

Reminder to self: reStructuredText does not support strikethrough out of the box.

Windows 10 Creators update and Delphi debugging don’t go well…

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/02

Not sure what the cause and effect are, but various people are having issues running Delphi versions on Windows 10 Creators update. Debugging takes an exceptional long time to load the debuggee.

According to Marco Cantu, it is not limited to Delphi:

“It looks like a change in libraries code relocation, and it affects all debuggers — not just ours.”

A roll-back does make them work again but … there is only a very limited time frame to roll back from Windows 10 Creators update (think days, not weeks).

So for now: if you use Delphi do not install the Windows 10 Creators update unless you:

  • can revert back to a full system backup
  • can roll back in time

Examples:

The the last link cannot be archived, not is publicly accessible, I’ve quoted some parts:

The debugger goes haywire for everyone in our organization with Creators and Tokyo/Berlin. Reverting to Windows Anniversary brings back the sanity.

Debugger problems with Tokyo/Berlin and Creators:

  • App takes a long time to load with modules loading and unloading and re-loading many times
  • IDE freezes
  • Memory consumption of bds.exe explodes, sometimes (> 3GB)

I will attached before and after screenshots showing how modules load and unload and re-load with Windows 10 Creators.

I presume these problems have the same root cause(s) than those in https://forums.embarcadero.com/thread.jspa?messageID=884382

Note that Microsoft is still fledging out issues in Windows 10 Creators Upgrade despite pushing it to more and more Windows 10 machines: [WayBack] Windows 10 Creators Update rollout: First phase update – Windows Experience BlogWindows Experience Blog

instead of x86, msbuild is creating an x64 solution configuration via sln.metaproj – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/02

Sometimes msbuild will throw an error like this  for an x86 project:

"C:\Users\Developer\Versioned\libssh2\build\libssh2.sln" (default target) (1) ->
(ValidateSolutionConfiguration target) ->
C:\Users\Developer\Versioned\libssh2\build\libssh2.sln.metaproj : error MSB4126: The specified solution configuration "Debug|X64" is invalid. Please specify a valid solution configuration using the Configuration and Platform properties
form="Any CPU") or leave those properties blank to use the default solution configuration. [C:\Users\Developer\Versioned\libssh2\build\libssh2.sln]

Cause:

vsvars64.bat will set the environment variable Platform=x64 but vsvars32.bat will not empty this environment variable.

Easiest is to run set Platform= then run vsvars32.bat.

Adopted from MSBuild creating an x64 solution configuration via sln.metaproj – Stack Overflow [WayBack]:

If you are running this in the Visual Studio x64 command window it will set an environment variable Platform=x64 that will be used by msbuild. You can verify this by running echo in the command prompt you are using.

echo %platform%

So you will need to override the default when using x64 cmd, or run from the x86 cmd.

Comparing commits across time – via github User Documentation

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/02

To get to the compare view, append /compare to your repository’s path.

This brings you the basic comparison interface which is very flexible: just enter a branch, tag or history marker in the dropdowns for base and compare.

Examples from the user docs:
