Maxima does not start on Sierra - macos-sierra

I downloaded and installed the latest Ma version of Maxima from source forge. When I try to launch it, I get
“Maxima.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.
This happens with both available versions, the one with VTK and the one without VTK.
How can I get it running?
I have MacOS 10.12.6
and both versions are here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-MacOS/5.40.0-MacOSX/

Others have run into the same problem. I don't use MacOS so I'm not sure what the problem is. Anyway, take a look at this bug report: #3316: Maxima VTK for Mac 5.40 is corrupt. The person who submitted it reported they got it working by following the advice in the comments.

See also thread 39: https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/support-requests/39/
This is a really important thread to the larger MacOS community.
I have a MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan, which is locked down a few versions back from the current MacOS Mojave.
I spent an entire night trying to get every wxMaxima from 5.36 to 5.42 running without success - even compiling from sources.
In desperation I found the thread 39 and entered the line:
(setf sb-impl::default-external-format :utf-8)
into a ~home/.sbclrc file (/Users/myName/.sbclrc). It was only then that the GUI and the Maxima engine could connect and a normal session could be established. Maxima, its maintainers and its users are too important a world resource to be stymied by such an esoteric and non-obvious bug.
A user encountering this bug will first go into the preferences menu and start trying to make sure that the file addresses and port numbers are correct, but experimentation can corrupt these and lead to other problems.

In my case following excerpt from https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/mailman/message/35910588/ helped:
(0) Double-click the icon of "Terminal.app" in the folder "/Applications/Utilities", then the command-line-user-interface window is opened.
(1) Move the current working directory to the location of the disc image with the command "cd". (e.g. "Downloads" folder)
$ cd $HOME/Downloads
(2) You can check the attribute with the command "ls -l#":
(You will be able to find "com.apple.quarantine" which is the name of the attribute.)
$ ls -l# ./*.dmg
-rw-r--r--# 1 name staff 471227521 6 24 23:17 ./Maxima-5.40.0-VTK-macOS.dmg
com.apple.quarantine 62
(3) Remove the attribute "com.apple.quarantine" with the command "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./*.dmg":
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./Maxima-5.40.0-VTK-macOS.dmg
(4) Verify that the attribute "com.apple.quarantine" was removed:
$ ls -l# ./*.dmg
-rw-r--r-- 1 name staff 471227521 6 24 23:17 ./Maxima-5.40.0-VTK-macOS.dmg
(5) Double-click the icon of the disc image file to open.
After that, you should install Maxima.app into your "Applications" folder ("/Applications"). And you should drag the Launchers icon from the disc image to another place of your filesystem. You can install launchers to anywhere you like.
Then you will be able to launch Maxima with Maxima.app or launchers.

Relative Path (pathlib) name working on MAC OS but on Windows gives me a error

Currently I am working a project that has have been using the pathlib library so I can work on my Windows desktop when I need too and on my MacBook Pro. Essentially be able to work between both operating systems. I have not have any issues at all until right now. Here is the set up:
I have a pipeline set up to automatically save a .joblib and a whole lot of .png files that will go to a directory called
output_dir = Path('../Trained_Models/Differential_gene_analysis/A Kidney Cancer Transcriptome Molecular Signature Identifies Tumors with Tumor Thrombus/Models train on TCGA data and test on Rodriguez data/Oct-XX-20XX')
For example, if I want to save a .joblib file under the name RandomForest_TumorThrombus_104.joblib,I would use the command
joblib.dump(model ,output_dir / 'RandomForest_TumorThrombus_104.joblib')
On my MacBook Pro, I have no issues when this is ran, but on Windows it gives me the following error
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '..\\Trained_Models\\Differential_gene_analysis\\A Kidney Cancer Transcriptome Molecular Signature Identifies Tumors with Tumor Thrombus\\Models train on TCGA data and test on Rodriguez data\\Oct-17-2022\\RandomForest_TumorThrombus_104.joblib'
I have tried to use the .resolve() method to get the absolute path but still gives me the same error. I have tried to experiment to try to see what is goin on such as using os.path.exists(). When using the os.path.exists() method I get True for the follwoing command:
os.path.exists(output_dir)
So it does indeed recognize that the directory exists. The next thing I tried was to rename the file to something like dddddd.joblib and that worked. But I find that only a few names for the file would allow me to save the files. During debug I found that the most recent Traceback occurs here:
with open(filename, 'wb') as f:```
I was wondering if anyone here had any idea what was going on here and how I can fix this issue? Please and Thank you.
The solution was to enable long paths on Windows.

Google deepmind q learning setup

Hi I'm trying to run the deepmind q learning software on my mac. I believe I have all the necessary libraries to run the network. I don't understand however to actually run the "run_cpu" or "run_gpu" command. Ive tried running it in terminal with the file followed by the game name breakout. I.e. "./run_gpu breakout". The github page with the code says that all you need to do is copy the rom from the roms folder but I'm not quite sure what that means/how to do it. The repository can be found here: https://github.com/kuz/DeepMind-Atari-Deep-Q-Learner
I'm sure I'm missing something really really simple here. Here's the terminal print out:
Els-MacBook-Air:DeepMind-Atari-Deep-Q-Learner-master elcapitan$ ./run_gpu breakout

Sorry if this sounds uber dumb. Anyway I'd appreciate a solution if you have one. Thanks!
You need to install qlua, try
sudo luarocks install qtlua

Dump file + PDB files - is it possible to create dump on one PC and then investigate it on another?

One certain problem is only reproducible on customer side.
We cannot reproduce it locally despite all our attempts.
But I know that TaskMgr in Windows 2008 R2 has a possibility to create dump file for a process. So, my question: is it possible to create dump on customer site for a certain process of our software and then investigate that dump file locally?
We already made a new build of our software (we saved a build sandbox and *.PDB files for all binaries). Then we installed that on site and now we are waiting when customer report that problem happens again so we will create a dump file for hanging process and then try to investigate it.
My question has 2 parts:
Would such method work at all?
If yes - how exactly to do that?
At the moment I have some doubt if that would work. Because I have tried to create a proof-test on my local Win 2008 R2 VM. I build all with .PDB files, then I run our software in a mode when it makes a long pause in the middle and I clicked "Create Dump File" in TaskMgr exactly when it does a pause (its simple call of Sleep(30000)). Then I tried to load that dump file in WinDbg and check what I could find there. First thing which makes me pessimistic about such way is a wrong stack trace. In particular - I cannot see a full stack trace in WinDbg. It shows me only stack trace for wow64.dll and ntdll.dll modules, I cannot see stack trace for our code.
In particular I see only this:
wow64cpu!TurboDispatchJumpAddressEnd+0x6c0
wow64cpu!TurboDispatchJumpAddressEnd+0x56b
wow64!Wow64SystemServiceEx+0x1ce
wow64!Wow64LdrpInitialize+0x42a
ntdll!RtlUniform+0x6e6
ntdll!RtlCreateTagHeap+0xa7
ntdll!LdrInitializeThunk+0xe
But when I try to attach process with debugger I see a full call-stack, like this:
ntdll.dll! 7754fd910
[Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for ntdll.dll]
ntdll.dll!7754fd9l0

As you can see WinDbg seems only showing last 7 items in stack which are useless for me. Question - is it possible to discover the full stack trace from dump file created in TaskMgr in Windows 7/2008? Or at least - I need more items in stack trace, to see from what place in our code this call was made.
Note: compiler MS VisualStudio 2008, WinDbg 6.12 x64.
Since your process is 32 bit you must use the 32 bit version of Task Manager to create the dump. Default installs have it in C:\Windows\SysWow64\taskmgr.exe
Also, make sure to use the 32 bit version of windbg.

fuseki load graph - s-put not found

I am trying to load a graph in fuseki. The server is working as it should.
But when I try s-put inside the fuseki folder it tells me s-put is not found?!
hdeus$ ls
DEPENDENCIES config.ttl s-delete
Data fuseki s-get
LICENSE fuseki-server s-head
NOTICE fuseki-server.bat s-post

hdeus$ sudo ./s-put http://localhost:3030/ds/data default Data/books.ttl
sudo: ./s-put: command not found
Any idea what the problem might be? I tried copy/paste s-put from the ls output but stil nothing... I am working in mac os X
Is the file executable? If you unpacked from the zip file, you need to set the s-* executable. Also, you need ruby installed.

Foreman start fails on Windows following Heroku tutorial

I'm following the heroku tutorial for Heroku/Facebook integration (but I suspect this issue has nothing to do with facebook integration) and I got stuck on the stage where I was supposed to start foreman (I've installed the Heroku installbelt for windows, which includes foreman):
> foreman start
gives:

Since I'm a complete noob in this I'm not sure if my question here is a duplicate for Error on 'foreman start' while following the Python/Flask Heroku tutorial (because it's not quite the same error). If so, does anyone have a method for deploying a development environment on windows (for Heruko, Python, Facebook app)? Or should I use Ubuntu for this?
Thanks
Although this question doesn't seem to be of interest to anyone here (5 views in ~2 hours, 0 answers, 0 comments...), I have found the solution and ready to share it with anyone that will encounter it:
Install the latest ruby from rubyinstaller.org (1.9.3-p194) - Sometimes there is a collision installs of the same version, in my case I've just uninstalled all versions of ruby, but if you already have other application that needs older version then you have to be more careful
Check that your system is default to use this version by invoking ruby -v in command line prompt: and getting ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20) [i386-mingw32] (you may have to close and re-open cmd, to include the new environment variables)
Still in cmd, invoke:
gem install foreman
gem install taps
now go to your Procfile app (e.g. your heroku example app from the tutorial) and execute foreman start, you should see something like this:
18:23:52 web.1 | started with pid 7212
18:23:54 web.1 | * Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/
18:23:54 web.1 | * Restarting with reloader
after manually adding the ruby path to my system PATH environment variable (Win 7), it still didn't work.
i had to change the default install path of Heroku from
C:\Program Files(x86)\Heroku
to
C:\Heroku
as it didn't properly handle the space in the path. I also tried C:\PROGRA~2\Heroku\ruby-1.9.2\bin to no avail. I imagine any space-less path will do.
