• Windows7 installs but windows 8.1 not

  I think i will get a solution. One month ago i installed windows 7 on my pc and it has been working so well. Today afternoon i tried to install windows 8.1 both by setup and usb bootup but it didn't work. All i get is two usb options one is MXT-USB and other is UEFI-MXT-USB,. If i select UEFI then gigabyte logo appears and freezes and windows 8 loading circle spins for some seconds and then my monitor goes "Input Not Supported". Normal MXT-USB displays same but instead of freezed gigabyte logo i see the Windows 8 logo and "Input not Supported" i press alt+f4 to exit so i think the installer is started but i can't see it. I tried putting in my windows 7 on the usb and booted it and i have no problem! Please help me! The main thing i know is that i booted andinstalled the exact same iso on my vmware and it was installed and working fine!

  PC:

  CPU : i5-3470 RAM : Samsung 2x2GB DDR3 MOTHERBOARD : GIGABYTE B75M-S OS(Installed now) : Windows 7
• Changing a programs "start in" property via batch file

  I am trying to change the "Start In" property of a program via batch file for an install script that I am writing for windows 10. I have not been able to find any info about where or how to do this. I've been dealing with the registry to other reasons, but I can't seem to find these fields in the registry. Here is photo of what I am trying to change for more clarity.

• Winsock Server using WinAPI Thread reset first connection

  I have written a Server using WINAPI with CreateThread() Method. The first connection request always dies. All the following requests/threads are working as expected. I have no idea why so i hope someone could tell me. Here is a working example illustrating the issue.

              buf[res] = '\0';
              send(current_client, buf, strlen(buf), 0);

• Is there an alternative way to import ctypes.wintypes in Cygwin?

  Apparently using ctypes on Cygwin has the bad side effect of not recognizing the host OS as being using Windows, so the Python interpreter cannot use/import the often used Window (API) specific DLL loaders, such as:

  from ctypes import WinDLL
  import wintypes
  import msvcrt
  

  The reason is that the import mechanism is using sys.platform to check for win32, but receives cygwin, and thinks it's on another OS and therefore disables any Windows related imports.

  As I have mentioned in this answer, you can import DLL's using the cdll loader from ctypes, but I have no idea if this is correct and what is the difference from using the windll.

  Is there a way to side-load the windll (or wintypes, msvcrt) ctypes libraries on Cygwin?

  _{(It's very sad that Cygwin, ctypes and the python maintainers have not figured out what to do in this case, even after 6+ years of being first reported.)}

  ---

  For reference, when trying to import wintypes, you get:

  >>> from ctypes import wintypes
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python3.6/ctypes/wintypes.py", line 20, in <module>
      class VARIANT_BOOL(ctypes._SimpleCData):
  ValueError: _type_ 'v' not supported
  

  Where the offending lines are in wintypes.py:

  class VARIANT_BOOL(ctypes._SimpleCData):
      _type_ = "v"
      def __repr__(self):
          return "%s(%r)" % (self.__class__.__name__, self.value)
  

  ---

  ADENDUM

  Probably we should not try to use the wintypes libraries in this use case. As stated in the python ctypes docs:

  Note: Accessing the standard C library through cdll.msvcrt will use an outdated version of the library that may be incompatible with the one being used by Python. Where possible, use native Python functionality, or else import and use the msvcrt module.
• Is l18n_diffsource just a misspelled field in TYPO3?

  The abbreviations i18n for internationalization and l10n for localization are common.

  In the world of TYPO3 in tt_content I find l18n_parent, l18n_diffsource. Note the small leading L! In pages there is a field l18n_cfg.

  Is this just a typo that has never been fixed or is there any meaning behind?
• Why the built-in set_language view of Django doesn't set a custom language?

  After adding a New Language to my site. I am trying to change the site language, but it doesn't work.

  from django.conf import locale
  LANGUAGES = (
      ('en', _('English')),
      ('fr', _('French')),
      ('zz', _('Zulu Pic')),
  )
  
  EXTRA_LANG_INFO = {
       'ht': {
           'bidi': False, # right-to-left
           'code': 'zz',
           'name': 'Zulu Pic',
           'name_local': u'Zulu Pic', #unicode codepoints here
       },
  }
  locale.LANG_INFO = dict(locale.LANG_INFO,**EXTRA_LANG_INFO)
  
  LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en'
  

  I set the URL in my root project:

  path('i18n/setlange', include('django.conf.urls.i18n')),
  

  And in my HTML:

  <form action="{% url 'set_language' %}" method="post" class="">
          <input name="next" type="hidden" value="{{ request.path }}">
          {% csrf_token %}
          <select name="language" class="form-control form-control-sm">
          {% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}
          {% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
          {% get_language_info_list for LANGUAGES as languages %}
          {% for language in languages %}
          <option value="{{ language.code }}"{% if language.code == LANGUAGE_CODE %} selected="selected"{% endif %}>
              {{ language.name_local|title }} ({{ language.code|upper }})
          </option>
          {% endfor %}
          </select>
      </form>
  

  Submit the form with js

  $("select[name=language]").change(function(){
      $(this).closest("form").submit();
  });
  

  Every time I select zz as language, it is not selected. The site shows the default: 'EN'.

  'FR' works correctly.
• Switch the display language of multi-language SVG (using systemLanguage) for display in browser

  An SVG file can contain text in multiple languages (to be shown alternatively), using the systemLanguage attribute inside a <switch> element. See for example:

  • the explanation on MDN
  • the Multilingual SVG example.svg on Wikimedia Commons*
  • What exactly does the `systemLanguage` attribute in multilingual SVG's refer to?

  This is very handy for displaying diagrams on a multi-lingual website: I can just include the image using the <img> tag, and the browser will automatically show the text in the right language, based on the language chosen in the browser settings.

  However, generally relying on browser settings alone is not good, because the user might want to see the site in a different language, and requiring them to fumble with settings is not practical. So most sites offer a way to switch the display language. For example:

  • on MDN there is a "Language" button at the top of the page
  • the Debian website has links in the footer ("This page is also available in the following languages")

  If I want to offer this type of language switching, how do I switch the display language of a multi-language SVG file? I found no HTML tag, DOM API or similar that would allow changing the display language chosen by the browser.

  Or will I have to do this server-side? This is obviously possible, but rather inelegant.

  ---

  tl;dr: When displaying a multi-language SVG (using systemLanguage) in a browser, can I influence the SVG's display language without messing with the SVG file itself?

• Android: Unable to launch "Google Voice Typing" programmatically

  So, I have this simple application for speech to text translation.

  I am using this to launch the google speech to text translator in my activity:

  val intent = Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH)
  intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
                      RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM)
  intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE, Locale.getDefault())
  intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_PROMPT, "Hi speak something")
  startActivityForResult(intent, 1)
  

  It launches the following screen - Now this allows me to speak only one sentence at a time but not a continuous speech to text translation

  Instead of this, I want to launch the "google voice typing" keyboard programmatically whenever I want as it allows the continuous speech to text translation.

  I couldn't find any sources to launch "google voice typing" keyboard.

  "SwiftKey" keyboard is having a mic button, pressing on it actually launching the "google voice typing" keyboard.

  So I am thinking there should be a way to launch "google voice typing" keyboard programmatically.

• Multilingual comments: is there standard syntax for tagging HTML comment contents?

  tl;dr — <!-- <span lang="en"> vs don't bother

  Options I've considered:

  1. Separate comment declarations for each language, wrapped in <div> and/or <span> elements with lang attributes.

     <div lang="en"><!-- English comment text. --></div>
     <div lang="ja"><!-- 日本語コメント文。 --></div>
     

     • Pro: Standard markup, easy to extract
     • Con: Complex, translation isolated from original

  2. Use <span lang=""> syntax inside the comment declaration.

     <!-- 
       <span lang="en"> English comment text.</span>
       <span lang="ja"> 日本語コメント文。</span>
     -->
     

     • Pro: Syntactically portable
     • Con: Still too much to type

  3. Use a YAML-style declaration, Markdown-like syntax, or just the plain IANA sub-tag and a :

     <!-- 
       lang: en
       English comment text.
     
       lang: ja
       日本語コメント文。
     -->
     
     <!--
       {en:} English comment text.
       {ja:} 日本語コメント文。
     -->
     
     <!-- 
       en: English comment text.
       ja: 日本語コメント文。
     -->
     

     • Pro: Quick
     • Con: Non-standard

  4. Don't Bother—Japanese and English are obviously different.

     <!-- 
       English comment text.
       日本語コメント文。
     -->
     

     • Pro: Duh
     • Con: D'oh!

  Background

  Are multilingual source comments a thing? On behalf of team members for whom English is a second language, I've started including translations inside HTML comment declarations. To encourage translation, a simple, easy-to-type syntax for language tagging—more Markdown than markup—would help.

  Research Results: Nope/Nada/Nichts/無
  The contents of an HTML comment declaration are essentially arbitrary, which is why there are few, if any, standards for tagging comment content. Almost all comments are monolingual because English is the lingua franca of programming and commenting in any other language is limited to code not intended to be shared outside that language group. Code comments are a content niche that hasn't had a compelling need to be multilingual.
• Multilingual ComboBox Bound to Enum Descriptions In DataTemplate Using DataTemplateSelector

  Long time lurker, first time poster. I'd say 'be gentle' but I know better. I wish I had something easier or more straightforward for my first post but if I did, it'd already be answered somewhere.

  I'm working on something where the individual parts have been well discussed but I'm having trouble putting them all together. We have an app that has lots of plugins that require different input parameters which I'm trying to make multi-lingual. I've been working on a dynamic GUI that inspects the plugin to create an array of input parameters and uses a DataTemplateSelector to pick the correct control based on the parameter's type. For enumerators we're trying to bind a localized display name to a combobox. There's lots of threads on StackOverflow on how to do enum/combobox binding but none that I could find that are multi-lingual and dynamic (datatemplate or other).

  Brian Lagunas has a great blog post that almost gets us there: http://brianlagunas.com/localize-enum-descriptions-in-wpf. However, he statically binds the enum in the XAML. We have hundreds of enums and are creating new ones all the time. So I'm trying to get my head around how to best achieve something more dynamic. Somewhere along the line I need to use reflection to figure out the enumerator's type and bind it to the combobox but I can't quite figure out where, when, or how.

  I've uploaded an extended example here: https://github.com/bryandam/Combo_Enum_MultiLingual. I'll try and include the relevant pieces here but it's hard to condense it down.

  public partial class MainWindow : Window
  {
      public ObservableCollection<Object> InputParameterList { get; set; } = new ObservableCollection<Object>();
      public MainWindow()
      {
          InitializeComponent();
          this.DataContext = this;
  
          //Create an example input object.
          InputParameter bitlocker_drive = new InputParameter();
          bitlocker_drive.Name = "BitLocker Enabled";
          bitlocker_drive.Type = typeof(String);
          InputParameterList.Add(bitlocker_drive);
  
          InputParameter bitlocker_status = new InputParameter();
          bitlocker_status.Name = "Status";
          bitlocker_status.Type = typeof(Status);
          InputParameterList.Add(bitlocker_status);
  
          InputParameter bitlocker_foo = new InputParameter();
          bitlocker_foo.Name = "Foo";
          bitlocker_foo.Type = typeof(Foo);
          InputParameterList.Add(bitlocker_foo);
      }
  }
  

  Here's my XAML:

  <Window x:Class="BindingEnums.MainWindow"
    ....
  <Window.Resources>        
      ...
      <DataTemplate x:Key="ComboBox">
          <Grid>
              <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                  <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                  <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
              </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
              <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay}" />
              <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={local:EnumBindingSource {x:Type local:Status}}}" Grid.Column="1"/>                
          </Grid>
      </DataTemplate>
      ...
      <local:InputParameterTemplateSelector x:Key="InputDataTemplateSelector" Checkbox="{StaticResource Checkbox}" ComboBox="{StaticResource ComboBox}" DatePicker="{StaticResource DatePicker}" TextBox="{StaticResource TextBox}"/>
  </Window.Resources>
  <Grid>
      <ListBox Name="InputParameters" KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="Continue" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" ItemsSource="{Binding InputParameterList}"  ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="Transparent" ItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource InputDataTemplateSelector}">
          <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
              <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
                  <Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False" />
                  <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
              </Style>
          </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
      </ListBox>
  </Grid>
  

  Here's two example enums I'm testing with:

  [TypeConverter(typeof(EnumDescriptionTypeConverter))]
  public enum Status
  {        
      [Display(Name = nameof(Resources.EnumResources.Good), ResourceType = typeof(Resources.EnumResources))]
      Good,
      [Display(Name = nameof(Resources.EnumResources.Better), ResourceType = typeof(Resources.EnumResources))]
      Better,
      Best
  }
  
  [TypeConverter(typeof(EnumDescriptionTypeConverter))]
  public enum Foo
  {
      [Display(Name = nameof(Resources.EnumResources.Foo), ResourceType = typeof(Resources.EnumResources))]
      Foo,
      [Display(Name = nameof(Resources.EnumResources.Bar), ResourceType = typeof(Resources.EnumResources))]
      Bar
  }
  

  Here's the enum type convertor:

      public class EnumDescriptionTypeConverter : EnumConverter
  {
      public EnumDescriptionTypeConverter(Type type)
          : base(type)
      {}
  
      public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType)
      {
          if (destinationType == typeof(string))
          {
              if (value != null)
              {
                  FieldInfo fi = value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString());
                  if (fi != null)
                  {
                      //Reflect into the value's type to get the display attributes.
                      FieldInfo fieldInfo = value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString());
                      DisplayAttribute displayAttribute = fieldInfo?
                                                      .GetCustomAttributes(false)
                                                      .OfType<DisplayAttribute>()
                                                      .SingleOrDefault();
                      if (displayAttribute == null)
                      {
                          return value.ToString();
                      }
                      else
                      {
                          //Look up the localized string.
                          ResourceManager resourceManager = new ResourceManager(displayAttribute.ResourceType);                            
                          string name = resourceManager.GetString(displayAttribute.Name);
                          return string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(name) ? displayAttribute.Name : name;
                      }
                  }
              }
  
              return string.Empty;
          }
  
          return base.ConvertTo(context, culture, value, destinationType);
      }
  

  Here's the Enum Binding Source Markup Extension:

  public class EnumBindingSourceExtension : MarkupExtension
  {
      ...
  
      public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
      {
          if (null == this._enumType)
              throw new InvalidOperationException("The EnumType must be specified.");
  
          Type actualEnumType = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(this._enumType) ?? this._enumType;
          Array enumValues = Enum.GetValues(actualEnumType);
  
          if (actualEnumType == this._enumType)
              return enumValues;
  
          Array tempArray = Array.CreateInstance(actualEnumType, enumValues.Length + 1);
          enumValues.CopyTo(tempArray, 1);
          return tempArray;
      }
  }
  

  Again, my goal is to figure out how to avoid statically binding to a single enum type (like in the XAML below) and instead bind it based on whatever type the input parameter might be:

  <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={local:EnumBindingSource {x:Type local:Status}}}" Grid.Column="1"/
  

  I've played around with doing it in the Window code-behind, the data template selector, and even a custom control without too much success. My first 'real' WPF app so I'm admittedly a tad out of my league putting all of this together versus their individual parts.

  Here's the example running
• OneSignal and Manual Subscribe

  Hope your weekend is going well! :)

  I'm using WordPress multisite for publishing multilingual contents.

  And I will use OneSignal Web Push service as a button for my visitors. For instance: " Click here to subscribe our blog! "

  I registered to OneSignal and added my blog. They give me above js code (Custom code) that should be added to between head tags:

  <link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" />
  <script src="https://cdn.onesignal.com/sdks/OneSignalSDK.js" async=""></script>
  <script>
    var OneSignal = window.OneSignal || [];
    OneSignal.push(function() {
      OneSignal.init({
        appId: "xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx",
        autoRegister: false,
        notifyButton: {
          enable: true,
        },
      });
    });
  </script>
  

  This code is the default code and working automatically. As I said before, I want to change it as a button. It should work when a visitor clicks the subscribe button manually.

  The issue is that, I don't have any javascript knowledge and can't edit the code. This is the example code from OneSignal blog:

  // Do NOT call init() twice
  OneSignal.push(["init", {
    /* Your other init options here */
    promptOptions: {
      customlink: {
        enabled: true, /* Required to use the Custom Link */
        style: "button", /* Has value of 'button' or 'link' */
        size: "medium", /* One of 'small', 'medium', or 'large' */
        color: {
          button: '#E12D30', /* Color of the button background if style = "button" */
          text: '#FFFFFF', /* Color of the prompt's text */
        },
        text: {
          subscribe: "Subscribe to push notifications", /* Prompt's text when not subscribed */
          unsubscribe: "Unsubscribe from push notifications", /* Prompt's text when subscribed */
          explanation: "Get updates from all sorts of things that matter to you", /* Optional text appearing before the prompt button */
        },
        unsubscribeEnabled: true, /* Controls whether the prompt is visible after subscription */
      }

  When I try to edit the first code, my blog is down.

  If I can edit above code thanks to you, I will change the button text for each site and add below code to display button:

  <div class='onesignal-customlink-container'></div>
  

  Help me please, How can I edit it? Source which is provided by OneSignal

  Thank you, best regards.
