AHK WinWait Memory Usage - autohotkey

I have an ahk script I use to enable the Printer button on a Crystal Reports dialog that for what ever reason is not enabled by default when used in Server 2008 R2. Anyways... the issue I am having is the process when running continues to stack memory each cycle. Its not like I am storing any contents to a variable that happens to not get cleared. What in this process uses memory resources that don't get released and is there anything I can implement to prevent this from happening?
You can see in this listing that the private memory just grows as usage goes on. I ended up having it initiate about 5 times and it went from about 1000k to 2000k.
The top entry is my test version I converted from WinWaitActive that was causing unnecessary CPU usage.

Here is the script contents I have that is then compiled to run as an EXE.
; Version: 1.2
; Dated: 03/31/2015 - Created
; Description: Enable a watch for page setup dialog and activate the print button for crystal reports
; Only allow one instance to run
#SingleInstance force
; Run with out a tray icon
#NoTrayIcon
; Getting loose with not requiring direct title menu values
SetTitleMatchMode, RegEx
; Start active watch for quick post menu
WaitForPS:
WinWait,Page Setup
{
Control,Show,,Button8,Page Setup,(optimize for screen display)
GoSub WaitForPS
}
; End of Script...

Right after the moment the window appears and the loop ran one time, WainWait immediately continues to the next statement because the window already exists, enables the control, and recursively invokes the loop again (gosub), so the code allocated for example 100 stack frames per second thus eventually exhausting the call stack.
Instead use an indefinite loop and before continuing wait for the window to close:
Loop
{
WinWait,Page Setup
Control,Show,,Button8,Page Setup,(optimize for screen display)
WinWaitClose
}

Debugging an unnecessary newline character in a Kubernetes secret

I have an environment variable called GOOGLE_MAPS_DIRECTIONS_API_KEY, populated by a Kubernetes secret YAML:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: google-maps-directions-api-secret
type: Opaque
data:
GOOGLE_MAPS_DIRECTIONS_API_KEY: QUl...QbUpqTHNJ
The secret was created by copy-pasting the result of running echo -n "AIz..." | base64 on my API key. I've provided the beginning and the end of the key in this code snippet, to show that there is no newline in the key included in the secret file.
Here is what I see when I run cat google-maps-directions-api-key-secret.yaml | hexdump -C:
00000000 61 70 69 56 65 72 73 69 6f 6e 3a 20 76 31 0a 6b |apiVersion: v1.k|

But! When I step into a Node.JS interpreter inside of the pod, I see the following:
> process.env.GOOGLE_MAPS_DIRECTIONS_API_KEY
'AIz...jLsI\n'
There is an auxiliary newline character appended to the end of the string!
This is, frankly, extremely frustrating. I have several questions on this subject.
Can you spot my error? E.g. at what point in the secret propagation pipeline am I accidentally inserting that newline?
What Unix command should I use to print a newline character to console in such a way that it is interpreted literally (as a \n), so that I can actually see it?
Is it considered bad practice to inject code removing trailing newlines from environment variables into my container image? I know this is not technically correct, but this hurts like hell.
If you previously created the secret without the -n option to echo, verify the Secret persisted in the API (kubectl get secret/google-maps-directions-api-secret -o yaml) matches the secret in your yaml file, and also verify the consuming app has been redeployed since the secret was updated with the correct value
I don't see anything odd with how your secret looks. As you alluded to, the first thing I would do is exec into the pod, drop into bash, and echo out the environment variable to confirm it's propagated incorrectly. After doing a quick test, the newline should show up fine with a printf:
printf '%s' $GOOGLE_MAPS_DIRECTIONS_API_KEY
If it looks fine when printing it from bash, then the issue is with how node is interpreting it. If it looks messed up, then you need to take another look at how you're generating it.
FYI if the result of process.env is actually your API key, you should revoke it ASAP as you just published it in your question.
As for whether it's bad practice to strip newlines, yes. This can cause unexpected issues down the line if an actual piece of secret information contains a newline.

Mac OS - Deployd - mongod fails to start

I'm trying to use Deployd on my Mac. I've installed mongoDB and added it's bin folder to my $PATH - mongod runs perfectly with my user. The problem appears when I try to run Deployd, mongod fails to run.
I runned it with DEBUG=* dpdand the results I've got are:

Failed to start MongoDB (Make sure 'mongod' are in your $PATH or use dpd --mongod option. Ref: http://docs.deployd.com/docs/basics/cli.html)
The only way I've got deploy to run is with sudo dpd -d. I've changed /data/db's ownership from root to my user. I also changed the ownership of mongod and ./mongodb/bin.
Does someone knows what I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.
Try to pass the path to your mongod executable via the '-m' parameter
dpd -m /path/to/mongod/
as described here http://docs.deployd.com/docs/basics/cli.html
Have you ensured there are no extra mongo.lock and local files in your data folder.
I had the same issue and deleting these extra files solved the problem.
(I think these are generated when mongo is shut down ungracefully).

Xvnc process at 100% CPU when idle

I have a very annyoing problem when running TigerVNC 1.3.1 in a Debian 7 virtual machine. After about one minute doing nothing in the VNC window, the Xvnc process goes up to 100% CPU usage. Once I move my mouse into the VNC window again, the CPU usage returns to normal. I believe that the function call select() is the culprit. Doing an "strace -p " gives me tons of this:
select(256, [0 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74], NULL, NULL, {0, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
And "strace -c -p ":
% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
78.19 0.001760 0 98445 select
21.81 0.000491 0 196889 setitimer
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
100.00 0.002251 295334 total
I'm not an expert on system function calls, but all other processes I checked with these commands do not show that kind of behavior. Is it a bug in the tigervnc code or is there a way I can fix it?
I'd recommend you reset to default settings to see if everything becomes fine. I was a tightvnc user for a long time, until I switched to RealVNC (free edition). I'd suggest you give a try of it. The settings are almost identical to tightvnc. And it supports real cross machine text copy-and-paste.

Crashing with Xcode 4.2 when I click on XIB files

I have been using Xcode 4.2 for the past month without incident. Two days ago I went back into my project to add some navbars to my app. When I clicked on .XIB (Either one) xcode came crashing down.
I tried launching a new project but it ended up with the same exact result. I sudo deleted xcode in its entirety and did a fresh installation. Still the problem persists unfortunately I cannot upgrade to the latest Xcode because the only mac I have access to is a 2006 macbook that is not compatible with Mountain Lion.
Below is my error message when Xcode launches.
It seems to be a cocoa issue but I am at a loss.

XCODE fail to load platform

I am trying to learn iphone programming and I have just upgraded xcode to version 3.2.4 (and to iOS 4.1).
When I create a new project I get the "Internal error" seen below. What is wrong? (by the way, I can't see any message in the console)
Internal Error
File: /SourceCache/DevToolsBase/DevToolsBase-1705/pbxcore/Target.subproj/PBXTarget.m

The same happened to me, and I fixed in the same way. Reinstaling from the same dowload image.
The first thing you need to do is follow the directive in the error message and check the console log. To do so, choose Run -> Console (or press Shift-Command-R). Read any displayed error messages. If you can't get to the root of the problem from there, post the console log, and I'll take a look.
I am also getting the exact same message with the version of the SDK that I downloaded yesterday. Here's what I get in the console. I verified that /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/iPhoneOS Build System Support.xcplugin exists, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
There were about 20 copies of the first message, I only pasted in one.
