Status: Upgraded my work PC (retail licenced not VLK) to Windows 10 and spent all morning fighting with a corrupt component store.
The command that should have fixed it kept failing with ridiculous errors:[code]
C:\WINDOWS\system32>Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /LimitAccess /Source:WIM:F:\sources\install.wim:1Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.10586.0Image Version: 10.0.10586.0
Error: 87
An error occurred while processing WIM:F:\sources\install.wim:1. The specified path was not found.
Ensure that the argument is valid and that the path exists.
[/code]Until literally trying it 5 times in a row succeeded. The same bloody command. Thank you so much Microsoft.

It's a RAID-10 that claims it's healthy after doing a manual verify. 7zip had no problems poking around in the WIM while DISM complained it couldn't open it. I'd been closing 7zip while trying different DISM options in case it was locking the image, but when it succeeded 7zip had the image open so I still have no idea what DISM's problem was.

My best guess is that it's hitting some kind of security constraint that is slaughtering something mysteriously, but that's pure guesswork.
Hah! It was exactly that. The fuckers are copying a native library out of a zip file into
/tmp
and trying todlopen()
it. That doesn't work when/tmp
is (sensibly) mounted withnoexec
as security measure.Moronic morons are moronic. These particular morons are even non-CDCK morons.

Sulon sounds like the bad guys in Star Trek Enterprise.
... wait. I think they were called Sulons.
I believe you're thinking of the Suliban. Unless there's a similarly-named species in season 4.

Maybe you should get a better set of shoulder aliens. Yours don't seem to grasp the concept all that well.

until it was revealed it only has a 25° field-of-view.
Yeah, that's going to suck and I hope they improve on that. There's no technical reason why they can't include a bigger transparent OLED screen than they're already using. Well, money. But this is Microsoft we're talking about after all...

Uhm, that's not OLED they're using (or if they do, it's not the bog-standard OLEDs for "normal" displays). The word "hologram" has actual meaning this time. A standard display only controls the luminosity - the HoloLens also includes the phase information.
Which means that the display you're seeing is sending the same information to your retina as an actual real-life object. Thus you could, for example, focus your eyes on a projected object in the foreground - and every object in the background will become blurry (and vice-versa).
That's completely different from current 3D techniques in movies where either everything is sharp or only the stuff is sharp which the director wanted to be sharp - if the background is blurry you can try to focus all you want, it will stay blurry.

Status: Internet working again.
Access has been spotty all morning. I could get to some sites: Google, Wikipedia, mail server, developer.amd.com. But not others: My ISP's own domain, TDWTF . Some sites, the text content would load, but images and CSS wouldn't. Then, my ISP's home page suddenly loaded in a partially obscured window, and everything else started working, too.
-
Woah. Can i get a link to that? I'd like to read about it

Status: I think one of my APs might be corrupted. Whenever I connect to the 5 GHz radio, DNS doesn't work (but everything else does). But (on the same unit) the 2.4 GHz is just fine.
Time for a reboot methinks...

This wouldn't have happened if the Library of Alexandria holds the secret to eliminate racism forever. To argue otherwise is akin to arguing that it's presentism to say that problem isn't more prevalent than my experience of it. Notably pointing out that as the lynchpin of the Great Depression happened the really started voting for radicals.

It's what I read from the hardware in use - I might be wrong, but then the details about the hardware point in that direction. I mean, to simply project a mere picture you don't really need such a sophisticated grating / diffraction setup.
Also, other details I've heard about - like the small FOV - support my assumptions.
edit: Finally found some more evidence (though the link points out that it might also be something slightly different): http://www.imaginativeuniversal.com/blog/post/tag/how-it-works

Did you get control of @xaade's Markov generator?

I don't accidentally that much...

I took this from subredit simulator, not sure if they use Markov, but it's something like it

After 10N megabytes, amiright?

how long should it take the server to catch the problem?
A Discourse server? Infinity minutes.

Given the file will have to be split into multiple HTTP packets, I'd say as soon as the server has received enough to know it's bigger than the limit. So after roughly N megabytes have been uploaded.Unless an HTTP POST body can contain the entire file, in which case as soon as the server sees the Content-Length header.

Hah! It was exactly that. The fuckers are copying a native library out of a zip file into /tmp and trying to dlopen() it. That doesn't work when /tmp is (sensibly) mounted with noexec as security measure.
And I've got it all to work, largely by disabling a truly worrying number of security features.
Except now I can't figure out how to get users of the service working. I can make the accounts just fine, but I can't actually let them log in. WTF are you doing you POS service, WTF are you doing?!
