Black magic

That ackward time when you feel silly, dumb and dumber all the same time. That is when you found another seemingly innocent one-liner that triggers an infinite recursion with stack exaustion and consequent crash of the app with something as simple as: properties_upper: INTEGER is do Result := properties_upper-1 end The silly aspect is that…

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a compatibility layer for running Linuxbinary executables (in ELF format) natively on Windows 10. Microsoft and Canonical partnered together to enable a genuine UbuntuTrusty Tahr image to be downloaded and extracted to the user’s local machine, and for the tools and utilities contained within that image to run natively on top of the WSL.

Some people may say that we’re at step four:

Dear VMWare, why do you keep telling me that my newly registered and freshly activated account is inactive?

Activate Your My VMware Account

You must activate your My Vmware account before you can log in. To activate your account, open the confirmation email sent when you registered for your account and click the link in the email.

If you have already activated your account and think you may have received this page in error, click Back to log in again or close your browser and try again.

Mildly put using your website is a severely suboptimal experience.

Greetings.
