Tutorial: Run Swift on Windows 10 the Easy Way (Using Linux Subsystem)

Posted: Wednesday, 7 September 2016

Running Apple's Swift programming language on Windows 10 is as simple as 1, 2 and 3.

Setup the Linux Subsystem for Windows 10 Anniversary Edition
Run sudo apt-get install build-essential (and optionally sudo apt-get install clang)
Download, and Run swift!

Alternatively, the video below demonstrates the steps in motion...
https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z0PZc7WqPtE

And that's it.

Just note that both technologies are unstable as of September 2016

Swift is a fairly immature programming language
- Due to the absence tools like a beautifier - though third-party tools such as Haaakon's SwiftFormat https://github.com/haaakon/SwiftFormat does the trick
- Due to missing tangible desires such as bug reports & support from fellow Windows users of Swift (of which there is none)
- And with breaking changes each major version of Swift (which might be why the Swift 1.0 code you found won't work on Swift 2.2 or even Swift 3.0 beta).
And the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is still in beta, with normally trivial tasks, such as interacting with the subsystem programmatically, almost impossible: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/

Setting up WSL

To set up the Windows subsystem for Linux, an official guide can be followed here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide
Here's a summary:

Start Menu -> Search "Turn Windows features on or off"

Scroll Down to "Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta)", and click the checkbox

Restart your computer, it should display a screen along the lines of "Configuring Windows", similar to a Windows Update
Once your computer has restarted, launch a normal Windows Command Prompt: Start Menu -> Search "Command Prompt" (or alternatively, cmd)
Type the command "bash", and press enter
Accept the T&C (or not, skipping this section and booting into Ubuntu is effectively the same)
Wait for the ~200MB Ubuntu Subsystem Image to Download, Extract and Install

And that's it! A mini non-Linux environment within Windows. Similar to how OS X does it, only 10 years behind.

Takes around 30 minutes.

Those Linux commands

With how administrative/root privileges work in WSL, you don't need "su/sudo" to run what are normally root commands (if you've skipped setting up the root user).
apt-get install build-essential should work on its own.
The build-essential package is required to run Swift. Without it, Swift would just fail in executing scripts. Unfortunately, this is quite a large package on Ubuntu, and even on Windows its no exception.
So run the command and wait it out, a tip to speed up the process of downloading packages is shown in the video.
Running apt-get install clang allows for Swift code compilation support in Windows via swiftc (swiftc with build-essentials alone does not work). Interestingly the resulting binary that swiftc compiles is a native Linux/Ubuntu ELF instead of a Windows exe.

Takes around 30 minutes.

Swift

Download Swift from here: https://swift.org/download/, note that you'd want the Ubuntu 14.04 version, if still offered.
Extract the archive just like you would on Ubuntu (or extract it using the Windows method, whichever you prefer), and run /usr/bin/swift through bash.

Takes around 10 minutes.

And that's it! Swift (the programming language) running on Windows 10 using the Windows Subsystem for Linux!

Although REPL doesn't really work, and you're not exactly working with native Windows goodness.

bchunk v1.2.1 - BinChunker for Windows

Posted: Monday, 8 August 2016

https://github.com/extramaster/bchunk
https://github.com/extramaster/bchunk/releases
https://github.com/extramaster/bchunk/releases/download/v1.2.1/bchunk.v1.2.1.zip
Edit: In case you're unsure of the VirusTotal results, cloning the repo and running "build.bat" (with MSVC - https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/) should build the application
Otherwise, https://github.com/extramaster/bchunk/releases/download/v1.2.1_repub.1/bchunk.v1.2.1_repub.1.zip
VirusTotal: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/22335fa68f60fc47378399d7039a778eebe268092c609d53066bf9478f994113/analysis/1476900472/

BinChunker is an application that converts .bin "Disc Image" files to .iso with the help of a .cue file.

The application is unfortunately Unix-only (which includes Mac OS X and Linux) due to the use of a number of non-standard C headers - in fact, the code will fail to compile on a Windows "cross-native" Linux layer like MingW64

$ gcc bchunk.c -o bchunk
bchunk.c:61:24: fatal error: netinet/in.h: No such file or directory
 #include <netinet/in.h>
                        ^
compilation terminated.

Fortunately, a fix has been published by mzex for use of BinChunker on Windows, however it does not come with the source code (only a binary encoded in base64 format).

In the spirit of the GPL, here's a copy of the source code on Github: https://github.com/extramaster/bchunk. Feel free to Fork (or even spin off as a separate repo).
And here's the Windows Binary Download of BinChunker, the GitHub releases system is used: https://github.com/extramaster/bchunk/releases.

Oh, and one more thing, the changes made do not break Linux/Unix builds. So you can compile this version with Linux as usual.

Better Python Standard Library Autocompletion for Notepad++

Posted: Thursday, 7 July 2016

Download: http://static.extramaster.net/python.xml.zip (476kb download - 3,367kb extracted)
Note that there's 13,563 definitions included, so any application that attempts to parse XML structure will have a bad time.

Before:

After:

Using the Notepad++ "python.xml" generator at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-python/, in conjunction with a script that imports all Python modules: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1206832/importing-the-entire-python-standard-library, on a computer with a fresh Python install, nabs a "python.xml" file with definitions and autocomplete entries for all Python Standard Library modules.

Download: http://static.extramaster.net/python.xml.zip
Or if github gists are your thing: https://gist.github.com/extramaster/9d0b7eba99a9708eb3f71ae95bcd42b5

The "python.xml" file should be placed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs" or "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\APIs", overwriting the pre-installed copy.

In case you want to revert back to the pre-installed "python.xml" file, here's a copy: http://static.extramaster.net/python_original.xml.zip

Here's a list of all of the Python Standard Libraries used in the creation of the autocomplete file:

TwoKinds Upscaled 4x with Waifu2x

Posted: Monday, 29 February 2016

Twokinds is an english webcomic that chronicles the tales of a once-corrupt-Grand-Templar and a Fiesty Tiger.
The story is set in an immense, yet fictional world - a world that reflects (in an exaggerated manner) issues that plague modern society.
Themes of corruption, conflict and subtle racial-warring play an integral role into the plot of Twokinds, which allows the comic to maintain a tension of interest.

Raspberry Pi's entire website down?

Can't access the Raspberry Pi mirror redirector?

Well, here's a bunch of sources that you can add to /etc/apt/sources.list to get yourself back on your feet - in case of another shutdown of the Raspberry Pi foundation's websites.

It is recommended that you only choose the mirrors that are hosted in the country/region closest to you.

Also, have a copy of the mirror list, but instead of it being the latest debian release, point it to an older version.
i.e.
Have both "deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/raspbian/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free rpi"
and "deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/raspbian/raspbian wheezy main contrib non-free rpi"
in the same file.

Don't forget to "apt-get update" after you have modified "/etc/apt/sources.list"!

Caps/Scroll/Num Lock Toggler for Windows

If you have a keyboard that does not have built-in Scroll Lock/Num Lock capabilities (such as the Microsoft Wireless Arc Keyboard - pictured below),

Then here’s a program that will toggle Scroll Lock/Caps Lock and Num Lock via software.

Works with Windows 10. A wired keyboard with Num lock/Scroll lock/Caps lock LEDs light up, indicating that this program is not hardware-dependent.
