Can I disable "Unable to read dynamic function table entry at" in WinDbg Preview? - windbg

For reasons I don't know, the application I develop triggers a continuous warning when I use WinDbg Preview. It makes debugging impossible.
The only answered question I could find on this topic is from 2016 not valid anymore with WinDbg Preview. I tried both solutions but the messages keep coming.
Moreover the answers over there doesn't seem to explain why it happens and I really would like to know why.
FYI: I have emailed the support so it may happen that I will answer my own question to keep you updated.

VS Code terminal becomes unusable

First, before someone flags this questions as "out of topic" I will say that first I intended it to post it at stack exchange Meta. But at doing so it clearly says: "Ask your question in Stack Overflow if your question is about programming" and the use of programming tools such as Vscode is about programming
That being said, I use vscode for coding, and lately I have started to use its terminal (before I used the linux terminal). So far everything ok but I have noticed that after using it, and leaving it for some time (and sometimes closing the PC) the terminal becomes unusable, the messages invisible and even if I type, the letters are not visualized.
Why would this be happening and is there a way to avoid this. Right now there is no way and I have to just lose my work there and open another terminal

Is there a workaround for the following VSTO Word 2010 word addin click once deployment error?

When deploying a Word Add in , which publishes without error. I get the following error after the files have been copied.
I do not have much to go on. This is the stack trace.
************** Exception Text **************

here's an answer to what you are looking for:-
the problem:-
open Process Monitor during the failed update and see if Winword.exe is browsing the following registry key->
HKCU\Software\Classes\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Deployment\SideBySide\2.0\Marks\mmiw..vsto_510943deeecbc925_0002.0000_2055f5031035ea75\appid
in this someone managed to check the Compatibility Mode checkbox for Word, running it default under Windows XP SP2 (see if you can make the program compatibile with your system in short).
if this is not the issue
Then read further into this :- deploy a VS 2008 SP1 Word 2007
There is another post i have found on this topic HERE. it shows a possible work around that you could try to get a result? i'm not entirely sure but in this, the developer was using outlook 2008, i think he removed the instances of outlook within his code and re-implemented parts of it and left out others. Perhaps this could be a temporary fix or help you understand what the problem is?
(I'm sorry my answers aren't so clear, i don't have much time for stack overflow at the moment, i will clean up the answer when i have more time(it will flow)) ++ this is all i can find regarding this error, but there are people with the same issue on the Microsoft forums, maybe you could find an answer faster on there? if you follow the links I've posted you should be able to find some information that might be able to give you a decent fix.
PS. if this doesn't work, reply asap and i will search asap, i think I've found something else which might be of use, just have to understand it myself before i post.
I recently came across this problem too after messing with some dependencies. None of the noted solutions worked (either on MSDN or here).
How I fixed it:
Find an old published version that worked.
Find the .dll.manifest file.
Diff that manifest with the one that is erroring.
In my case, I saw that a .dll was incorrectly referenced there (I thus had a v2 of it and a v4). I removed this reference and, thank god, it works.

Where do I get XHProfLive for XHProf?

I've read a long page about XHProfLive, but I didn't manage to find where to download it. Where do I find it?
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=62667953919
I am aware that XHProf comes with some UI, but I didn't find anything more advanced than that.
XHProf was open sourced, not XHProfLive.
But do look into XHGui: http://phpadvent.org/2010/profiling-with-xhgui-by-paul-reinheimer
It has been more than a year since I've asked the original question. There hasn't been much of an improvement to the original UI ever since. Therefore, I've undertaken the development of xhprof.io - GUI to analyze the profiling data collected using XHProf.
Furthermore, as #gazarsgo have already mentioned, there is Reinheimer's branch of the original XHProf UI.

"How to Read an SDK" Update for PowerShell?

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but I was wondering where I could find the "Help" file on how to read PowerShell's Help files. To illustrate, when I was first learning VBS, I came across this Sesame Script article on "How to Read an SDK". This was written when VBS was the prominent scripting language for system administration in a Windows environment, so there's no PowerShell examples. I figured there would be a PowerShell equivalent by now, so I've been searching the MSDN/TechNet Library for the past couple weeks and haven't found anything. I've read the Windows PowerShell Owner's Manual, but there was nothing on this specific topic in it nor any resources to which I should go to. So, has anyone found it? Does an update or equivalent even exist within Microsoft's official documentation?
Another reason I ask is because I found a video that helped me accurately read the Help information that comes from the "Get-Help" cmdlet; there's nothing wrong with it, I like the video, but I was wondering where the helpful gentleman, or anybody else, could find the information? It must exist, since he made a video about it, right?
The Windows PowerShell User's Guide has many sub-pages about how to use PowerShell. Use the navigation tree at the left to browse the different topics.
This page in particular talks about how to get help for CmdLets and other topics.
To directly answer the question, the command you can use is this:
Get-Help About_Command_Syntax

In Emacs how to prevent the same buffer from showing up in different windows in the same frame?

I'm not sure how to comprehensively accomplish this.
Currently I build my own bzr Emacs on Windows, so I can see that `display-buffer' now takes a SPECIFIERS option, which could be interesting, but I couldn't find concrete examples of how to use it.
But this problem really has to be solved before display-buffer is called.
For example a Help window previously was visiting Buffer-A, but I've visited Buffer-A in another window while reading the help. Now when I quit the Help window, Buffer-A appears there as well. I want some other useful buffer to appear there.
I have some experimental code that appears to work here.
I emphasize experimental. This could melt your Emacs.
I'd appreciate it if you could contact me on github or here to let me know your experiences with this.
Emacs 24 is not yet released. They have changed the buffer-display/window behavior and Lisp interfaces several times over the release's development period. The current status of the release is pretest, so development is supposedly stopped, except for bug fixes.
However, ongoing emacs-devel#gnu.org discussions show that things are still in flux wrt buffer display and windows.
Your best bet is to check the latest doc and code (which might not correspond exactly, at this point).
