SystemJS errors after upgrading from Angular 2 to Angular 4 - systemjs

I upgraded from angular 2.3.1 to 4.0.1. I now get a SystemJS error when my page fails to load in the dev tools console:
(SystemJS) exports is not defined
ReferenceError: exports is not defined
I understand that the modules are being packaged differently but I assume the older versions are still being supported:
Flat ES Modules (Flat ESM / FESM)
We now ship flattened versions of our modules ("rolled up" version of our code in the EcmaScript Module format, see example file). This format should help tree-shaking, help reduce the size of your generated bundles, and speed up build, transpilation, and loading in the browser in certain scenarios.
Read more about the importance of Flat ES Modules in "The cost of small modules".
Experimental ES2015 Builds
We now also ship our packages in the ES2015 Flat ESM format. This option is experimental and opt-in. Developers have reported up to 7% bundle size savings when combining these packages with Rollup. To try out these new packages, configure your build toolchain to resolve "es2015" property in package.json over the regular "module" property.

How to build pex or shiv package from pyproject-compliant project?

I have a Python project which I would like to distribute as a Pex or shiv self-contained Python-executable package, in the spirit of the Python Packaging Guide, "Depending on a pre-installed Python" section. My project is structured in the spirit of PEP518, and it has a pyproject.toml file. My project also includes a few libraries not in the Python Standard Library, so I use pipenv to manage those.
How to I build the pex package using a backend which I can specify in the [build-backend] of my pyproject.toml file?
The documentation for pex and shiv show how to build self-contained packages from the command line, or via setuptools.py, but not using the PEP518 structure and pyproject.toml. At least, not as far as I have been able to discover. (And, by "self-contained", I mean all Python language packages, but I am happy to use an existing Python 3 interpreter on the destination system.)
Note that of the three executable packages listed in the Packaging Guide, zipapps does not seem like a fit for me. It doesn't give me a way to manage my external libraries.
Update: some specific invocations, per request.
I currently use build as my build frontend. I use setuptools as my build backend. My pyproject.toml file currently reads,
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
I currently build a wheel via this shell command:
(MyPipenvVenv) % python -m build
…[many lines of output elided]…
Successfully built MyProject-0.0.6a0.tar.gz and MyProject-0.0.6a0-py3-none-any.whl
I can build a self-contained app (which relies on the system's Python interpreter) using these pipenv and shiv commands:
(MyPipenvVenv) % pipenv requirements > requirements.txt
(MyPipenvVenv) % shiv --console-script myapp -o app/myappfile.pyz -r requirements.txt .

What I want is to give the command to the PEP 517 front-end, have the pyproject.toml specify that the resulting build work be done by shiv, and point to whatever configuration shiv needs. I want the result be a self-contained app file app/myappfile.pyz. e.g.
(MyPipenvVenv) % python -m build

Installing collected packages: MyProject, setuptools, pip, click, shiv

My pyproject.toml file would be something like,
[build-system]
requires = ["shiv"]
build-backend = "shiv.build_something_something"
As far as I know, shiv is not a "PEP 517 build back-end" (neither is pex), so it is not possible to write something like the following in pyproject.toml:
[build-system]
requires = ["shiv"]
build-backend = "shiv.build_something_something"
As discussed there, the PEP 517 interface is targeted at the generation of source distributions (sdist) and wheels only.
From my point of view, I consider tools like shiv and pex that generate zipapps to be (at least) one layer above. And when working at this level, it does not matter whether or not sdists and/or wheels are generated via the PEP 517 interface, in other words it does not matter whether or not pyproject.toml files are involved. I assume that shiv and pex either consume wheels and sdists that are already available (maybe downloaded from PyPI) or they delegate the "build" step to a 3rd party tool (maybe pip, maybe build), I do not know and it does not matter.
From my point of view, the input that makes the most sense to get a zipapp as output is some kind of "lock file", and not a (PEP 517) pyproject.toml file. Zipapps are basically one whole "virtual environment" in a single file. It means that the Python interpreter is fixed, and each dependency (direct or indirect) is fixed. This is best described with a lock file.
The requirements.txt files while not strictly lock files, are probably what is the closest thing with enough availability and support in the Python packaging ecosystem. And as far as I know the requirements.txt files are the only "lock file"-ish format that tools like shiv and pex accept as input.
So my recommendation for you would be to focus on requirements.txt files to provide as input to pex or shiv. As you are already doing.
In the Python packaging ecosystem...
It looks like PDM has a real lock file format and already has support for generating zipapps via a plugin pdm-packer.
Poetry also has a lock-file format and they are somewhat looking into supporting zipapps as well
There are discussions and work going on towards a standardized lock file format. But it is difficult work, and will probably still take some time to reach a conclusion.

LNK1104 when using MASM 64bit

I'm currently trying to learn Assembly for x64 Windows. I tried the example code from this Intel website,
but whenever I try to compile it with the command given in the document:
ml64 hello.asm /link /subsystem:windows /defaultlib:kernel32.lib /defaultlib:user32.lib /entry:Start
I always get an
LNK1104 error
I know that it means the compiler can't find the library file, I googled the problem and quickly found that I need Visual Studio with Windows SDK, which I downloaded and installed. But still can't find a kernel32.lib or user32.lib in any files other than the Windows system files.
I tried everything and I simply can't fix it. I hope someone could help figure this out.
There is a well-known MASM32 SDK available created by hutch--. This package contains the requested libraries in a (legacy) 32-bit version.
But there is also a 64-bit update of that famous package by hutch--:
Current build of the 64 bit MASM SDK.
It should contain the .inc and .lib files you need and more...
This is the current build of the 64 bit MASM SDK. This one is a lot closer to complete and with the correct Microsoft binaries added to it, it is capable of building a wide array of application types. It can be use in 2 different ways, it should be unzipped from the root directory of the partition that it is being installed on. You can either manually add it to an installation of the MASM32 SDK OR you can install it on a partition that does not have MASM32 on it and simply rename the buildx64 directory to MASM32. Installing it on another partition is the preferred technique as QE has its menus and accessories set up for building 64 bit code.
You still need to add the Microsoft binaries which would typically be from an installation of vs2017 or from an earlier version for Win7 64. In the bin64 directory there is a file called "Microsoft_File_List.txt" which shows the files you need. The list is from the current version of Visual Studio 2017 version and if this is the version you have, use the ML64 from the "x86_amd64" directory that is 402,584 bytes in size.
In the "buildx64" directory is a batch file called "makeall.bat". This must be run to build all of the libraries and include files.
They are the gold standard of Windows assembly developing.

How to create and compile a custom module in MongooseIM

System Info:
MongooseIM version: 3.0.0
Installed from: pkg
Erlang/OTP version: 18
Ubuntu 16.04
I am having trouble creating a standard base for a custom module. I want to create a simple hello world program as outlined in the documentation for ejabberd.
However, I cannot get it to work for MongooseIM. Are there any instructions for how to do this? As a beginner I am just looking for building blocks to creating my own modules, and everything I look at is a little too complex for what I am trying to achieve at the moment.
Here is the code for my module: (taken from ejabberd) https://docs.ejabberd.im/developer/extending-ejabberd/modules/#mod-hello-world
And here is my log error:
I have added the following line in my config file with all other running modules:
{mod_hello_world, []}
I am assuming it has something to do with the compilation and there being no .beam file created for the modules as well as some syntax errors specific to MongooseIM. I am also unfamiliar with documentation for compiling modules when using a pre-built pkg as opposed to installing from source.
DISCLAIMER: I'm a MongooseIM developer working for Erlang Solutions.
The link you posted hints at the answer to the immediate question:
If you compiled ejabberd from source code, you can copy that source code file with all the other ejabberd source code files, so it will be compiled and installed with them. If you installed some compiled ejabberd package, you can create your own module dir, see Managing Your Own Modules.
MongooseIM (a.k.a. MIM) does not support the latter method of managing modules, i.e. it's not possible to drop source code into some predefined location when MIM is installed from a package and let it just compile and run the module. If we want to write a custom module, we have to build MongooseIM from source.
To be precise, we don't have to build the whole server from source and package it ourselves. We have to, however, clone the repository, place the new module source there (due to build time requirements like header files) and build it there. Once we get a .beam file of the new module we can just drop it into an installed MongooseIM's code path.
To be even more precise, let's say we have installed MIM from mongooseim_3.0.0-1~ubuntu~artful_amd64.deb available from the Downloads page at erlang-solutions.com, therefore we want to build a module compatible with 3.0.0:
Clone MIM: git clone https://github.com/esl/mongooseim
cd mongooseim
git checkout 3.0.0
Place mod_hello_world.erl under ./src/
rebar3 compile
Once rebar3 finishes get ./_build/default/lib/mongooseim/mod_hello_world.beam and copy to the target host where we installed MIM from a package.
Please note, though, that an example taken straight from ejabberd documentation might not work "as is" in MongooseIM. In this simple module, for example, we'll not be able to include logger.hrl as MongooseIM doesn't have such a header file - we would have to -include("mongoose_logger.hrl"). instead.

How to use node package preinstalled by VS Code

For example,
npm install vscode-textmate
requires dev tools to compile native C code. Since VSC already installed grammars for many languages as well as the node package precompiled for the current platform - is there a way to load the package already on disk along with the preinstalled language grammar?
Please don't do this. It would create an implicit dependency between your extension and VS Code's internal modules, which we don't guarantee will be the expected version or even exist.
See this thread for pointers on native modules in extensions

How to set sass with compass and coffeescript in meanio

I find mean.io (MongoDB Espress Angular Node) very interesting.
I'm used to work with coffeescript, sass and compass.
I would like to start a project with all these and not with pure js and css as the default setup does.
Is it possible to do it?
Yes it is possible but right now there is a bit of overhead required to get setup.
Have a look at https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-coffee for info about converting coffescript to js using grunt. mean.io uses a lot of the grunt tools.
I would also recommend emailing a colleage of mine lior#linnovate.net. He has recently been building a sass package using the mean package system.
To see currently available packages have a look at http://www.mean.io/#!/packages
