Can't install Tortoise SVN 1.7.3 on Windows Server 2008 R2
I'm trying to install just the Tortoise SVN client on my windows server 2008 R2 and get the following error message: [CODE] which seems to indicate a permissions problem in the registry, but I'd rather avoid changing permissions in there out of fears of unintended consequences. I'm using a local 'administrator' account...
have you right-clicked on the installer -> run as administrator? even with UAC disabled and running as a local admin, windows server 2008 requires you to elevate certain actions for them to work.

Can't ping host from vmware guest using bridged networking
Host is Windows 7 Guest is Ubuntu 11.04 Network adapter is wireless I can ping other computers on the network but not the host. No firewall are involved. Sniffing the traffic with wireshark it looks like both the host and the guest are using the same MAC address. My guest simply doesn't receive a reply when asking for ...
If wireshark is really showing the same MAC address, then you probably aren't actually using bridged networking, but are instead using NAT (and this makes sense since you can ping out from the Ubuntu machine to other machines on your network). But, assuming you are in fact using Bridged networking: To start, I'd sugges...

php not working with apache install
I have a centos server. I have installed apache 2.2.17 from a .tar.gz file. I've also install php 5.3 from the ius repository. That worked fine and apache is functioning and so is php 5.3. However, when i put a phpinfo.php file in the directory that apache should be serving files from, it doesn't work. I can only seem ...
Assuming that you're installing a PHP module for Apache, you need to be using the same version of Apache it was built against. It's a bad idea to try to mix-and-match source packages and binary packages like this. Either find a reputable repository and install everything from there, or build everything from source, but...

Do you have lot of stuff running on the server? If so, maybe consider a dedicated machine or VM for the DB. Is this physical or VM/cloud server?

Difference between NCE-Loss and InfoNCE-Loss
I started looking into word2vec and was wondering what the connection/difference between the NCE-Loss and the infoNCE-Loss is. I get the basic idea of both. I have a hard time deriving one from another, do you have any idea ? Thank you in advance!
Both NCE loss and InfoNCE loss use positive examples and sampled negative examples to contrast a true data distribution with a noise distribution. As a byproduct, you can learn something useful like $p(y|x)$ in the case of NCE, or high quality representations of your objects (e.g. documents, images, etc.) in the case o...

ARP -Two different Subnets
We have a LAN with a DHCP server, Router (DHCP disabled) and a subnet of 192.168.1.0/24. We use Xarp to scan for ARP Spoofing and have found a different subnet IP showing up on the scan, arp source 192.168.2.243 with a arp dest 192.168.2.1 and a MAC that does not belong to any of our devices.

You can't ARP a non-local address (from the client's view). If you need to ARP it you first need to make the IP address local by adding any IP address of the subnet to a NIC. Then you can try to ping it and you'll see the MAC association in your ARP cache (if it's still there). Check the switches' MAC tables to which p...

Why is it valid to remove a constant factor from the derivative of an error function?
I was reading the book 'Make your own neural network' by Tariq Rashid. In his book, he said: (Note - He's talking about normal feed forward neural networks) The $t_k$ is the target value at node $k$ , the $O_k$ is the predicted output at node $k$ , $W_{jk}$ is the weight connecting the node $j$ and $k$ and the $E$ is t...
You can remove the factor because: It is constant with respect to the variable you compute the derivate on. The constant is positive You have this constant factor for all variables you compute the derivative on. So if $\nabla f(\mathbf{W})$ would be the correct gradient, by setting the constant factor to $1$ , you get ...

No, that's not possible, because the new server knows nothing about the state of the previous connection. A WebSocket is not stateless like UDP or ØMQ. The client must reconnect in this case.

Memory is not instrumented in MySQL until version 5.7 (currently in development), so this does make your question a bit of a guessing game.

are permissions granted "network service" secure on a webhost?
I was deploying a site today and it seemed I needed to grant read/write permissions to the site directories to system account "network service".

If the web apps on the server are running in Medium Trust, they should be prevented from reading/writing files outside of the application's root, even with file permissions as you note. Without that, though; yes, any application running under the context of Network Service would have the ability to read and write files...

An 18-disk RAID5 is a train wreck waiting to happen... I hope you have a good backup. Seriously, you need to use RAID6 for anything beyond 5 disks maximum or disks larger than 1 TB.

updatable subscription is deprecated. If you still want to implement it, you have to use T-SQL. You wont be able to do it using GUI. See Updatable Subscriptions for Transactional Replication and Deprecated Features in SQL Server Replication

How do I discover peers in an Ubuntu VM in an Azure Service?

What approach would you take to do this? Would it be best to...
Azure provides DNS for cloud services. Since you are using an availability set all your VMs are in a cloud service. Consequently, your VMs should be able to reach each other by hostname. If your VM is in a VNET you have the additional option of configuring the VMs to have a static IP address . Furthermore, VMs are typi...

access_log gzipping temporarily freezes apache server
We have a linux centos box with plesk on it. Everyday during the apache_log gzipping process the apache server stops responding until the gzipping is over. Is this normal behavior? Or is there a way to fix this? UPDATE: It turns out the freezing was caused by a mysql routine which coincided with the log rotation.
Definitely NOT normal. Three things to check: Make sure the log rotation system doesn't try to compress tle log Apache is writing to. You can do this by setting the "DelayCompress" flag in logrotate's config file. Make sure your logrotate configuration has a postrotate command that makes Apache re-open its logfiles (gr...
