Rahul2001

@arda It keeps lagging, and the keyboard shortcuts are messed up...

What branch are you on?

I'm on experimental branch / developer edition, and it is pretty fast

the keyboard shortcuts are a bit different than chrome, but they aren't that bad.

Rahul2001

@arda I'm using the standard Firefox Developer Edition

And there isn't a shortcut for new private window?

arda

@Rahul2001 hmm. Try disabling e10s maybe?

Rahul2001

@arda Oh, thanks!

arda

11:53

how to disable e10s: about:preferences -> untick enable multi-process firefox developer edition

allquicatic

FFDE is Firefox Alpha

that's not "standard"; that's really bleeding-edge

commits that landed days or hours ago... untested crap

if you want something that works use Firefox stable or ESR

Rahul2001

@allquicatic oh, lol, but I thought it was for webdevs?

allquicatic

it's "for webdevs" only in the sense that it has the latest features and a few extra developer-specific extensions, many of which you can install in Firefox Stable anyway

Rahul2001

ah

arda

@Rahul2001 it is packed with some cool stuff which you can install on stable too

allquicatic

11:58

but yeah it's basically their alpha build so don't expect stability or functionality when using it as a general driver

if you're not actively developing a website I'd say don't run it

Hi everyone

That Brazilian Headless Horse

@sepideh Hi

sepideh

I'm getting some problems with running and debugging my mex files

I've written them in stackoverflow

they've baffled me since last time

but they're getting so little attention

I think that there may be PC issues rather than programming issues.

Would you please have a look at them/

maybe they should be migrated and answered on this site?

0

Q: dependency walker: system could not find the file specified. libmx.dll, libmmd.dll, libifcoremdd.dll

I am writing MATLAB Mex files using Visual Studio 2013 and MATLAB R2015a on a Win8.1 x64 machine. The code for the mx_minimum_power.cpp file is as follow: #include <math.h> #include <complex> #include "mex.h" #include "matrix.h" #include "cvm.h" #include "blas.h" #include "cfun.h" using...

this is the most important problem.

liifcoremdd.dll is missing from my win8.1 x64 machine and I don't know why?

Even if I download the file from the net

I don't know where should I put it

The second question is:

0

Q: Unable to attach matlab.exe process to visual studio 2013 for debugging mex files?

I am writing some mex files to run in my matlab program using visual studio 2013 compiler. In order to be able to debug your mex files, you should follow these steps Everything was right just some minutes ago and I was doing my project without any problem. Today I have typed the code mex -g m...

c++ matlab visual-studio visual-studio-2013 remote-debugging

this problem gets fixed whenever I restart the machine

But it occasionally shows up again and forces me to restart the computer

arda

@sepideh 1) don't download from those shady download-dll websites

@sepideh 2) usually system32

sepideh

the third question:

0

Q: Which of these packages should I download to use CVM class library for compiling Matlab Mex files with Visual Studio 2013?

Here is the download page for CVM class library, as I remember from opencv each precompiled library should come with some .h files, .lib files and .dll files. I've downloaded and extracted all the packages but seems there are no .h files included. Generally: Which package should I use, if I'm...

c++ matlab visual-studio-2013 linker mex

@arda Me either. But how should I fix this problem generally?

DavidPostill

@sepideh :32106388 Hmm.

Invalid MEX-file 'H:\Implementation\ALOS-PALSAR\ALOS-PALSAR 12x2\San Francisco L
12x2\mx_minimum_power.mexw64': The specified module could not be found.

And every else in the question you refer to `mx_minimum_powe.mexw64`

Ie "powe" **not** power

arda

13:50

@sepideh no idea, but I'd recommend bountying those questions

sepideh

@arda I will. But there's no time. I can start a bounty after two days and I should submit the project as soon as possible

@DavidPostill Do you mean a typo?

I've named the .cpp and so .mexw64 file "mx_minimum_power"

Journeyman Geek

"there's no time" >_>

DavidPostill

@sepideh If it's a typo it's in a least two places ...

Journeyman Geek

and a lot of these seem to definately feel like SO questions

and you've asked these in the last two days so...

sepideh

@JourneymanGeek so what?

DavidPostill

13:58

@sepideh Where does libifcoremdd.dd come from? Why do you think it's missing?

Journeyman Geek

And well @sepideh as I often tell people, using chat purely as a way to get attention for a question, especially on another site, is impolite (I've not seen you around), and if you've asked these in the last two days, and you're getting close to a deadline, well, Its the nature of asking questions on the internet.

DavidPostill

@sepideh He trying to politely say that they don't appear to be on-topic for Super User.

Journeyman Geek

@DavidPostill I'm actually trying to caliberate my politeness level here for "gruff"

;p

@DavidPostill and not really on 'topic' in its current form for the chat.

DavidPostill

@JourneymanGeek :)

Journeyman Geek

And these things are deep specific issues that someone in the field might know. Have you talked to someone senior or your TA, who might have the environment already setup?

noitsbecky

14:03

100 free rep for whoever can tell me why the spacex rocket exploded!

sepideh

@JourneymanGeek ok, maybe I asked the question in a wrong place. But this project has a long history and I'm not doing it in two days. It starts from here

DavidPostill

@sepideh Probably should be libifcoremdd.dll

Journeyman Geek

@sepideh the project, no. But "i'm running out of time" should never be the reason for not doing things the 'right' way

and well, this isn't really a programming site chat room

Let alone matlab.

sepideh

@DavidPostill I've explained in the question. I can't find it in the c drive

in scientific terms it WHOOSHED very fast, rather than kaboomed

DavidPostill

@sepideh But why is it looking for a dd file?

arda

@JourneymanGeek *deflagrated

DavidPostill

It didn't explode:

Update 9/2 4:48 p.m. EDT: SpaceX founder Elon Musk has said that the incident was not an explosion, but rather a very fast fire.

noitsbecky

@JourneymanGeek The who the huh the were de-whatted?

Journeyman Geek

@noitsbecky go WHOOOOSH

Deflagration

Deflagration (Lat: de + flagrare, "to burn down") is a term describing subsonic combustion propagating through heat transfer; hot burning material heats the next layer of cold material and ignites it. Most "fire" found in daily life, from flames to explosions, is deflagration. Deflagration is different from detonation, which propagates supersonically through shock waves. This means that when a substance deflagrates, it burns extremely quickly instead of detonating. Black powder is an example of a substance that deflagrates; when it is ignited, black powder burns extremely quickly (so fast in fact...

14:09

@noitsbecky spacex.com/news/2016/09/01/anomaly-updates

Journeyman Geek

of course its not in my spellcheck so @arda got to fix my speeling misteaks ;p

sepideh

ok, maybe its better to start chatting on stackoverflow. But missing .dll files that should be on C drive, was the reason that I thought maybe I'm dealing with a pc issue rather than a programming one

arda

@JourneymanGeek your welcame

it hurts just to type that, lol

sepideh

@DavidPostill I don't know why. But ok, I'll ask these questions on SO chat

noitsbecky

@JourneymanGeek Behind every good deflagration there's a strong explosion

sepideh

14:10

@arda I know ;p

This is how they weed out the weak and frail.

noitsbecky

> there was an anomaly on the pad resulting in the loss of the vehicle

Loss? how could you lose a huge bright ball of flame? IT'S RIGHT THERE, THE WHOLE WORLD CAN SEE IT

sepideh

@DavidPostill oh, ok. that was a typo just when typing the question. I've searched a .dll file and that is missing

noitsbecky

I wonder if they mean they couldn't find the vehicle again after the anomaly, that sounds plausible

DavidPostill

@sepideh It's important to get your question right. That means no typos, especially for code and file names you are referring to.

sepideh

@DavidPostill ok, you told me about an another typo. where was that?

DavidPostill

14:19

@sepideh And it's still wrong after your edit "libifcoremdd.ddl". And you haven't fixed "mx_minimum_powe.mexw64" either. In two places like I already told you.

sepideh

@DavidPostill yes corrected again

@DavidPostill ok, thanks a lot. I found and corrected that too

DavidPostill

@sepideh libifcoremdd.dll is a debug library. Try compiling without debug.

Q: Name changing rate limit can be circumvented in chat by changing parent site

We in the Root Access chat room just noticed (ahem) that the rate limit on display name changes can be circumvented by changing the parent site. That is, a user can change names extremely quickly by doing something like this: Associate a new site account Modify the new per-site profile to have ...

discussion chat rate-limiting

bwDraco

...and now it's "Journeyman Cat". Impersonating a mod is not okay.
