I wrote a program that plays a song using sonic pi. I have to transcribe the code to a web language (javascript). Since I'm new at javascript I thought it would be ideal to use QUORUM (http://quorumlanguage.com/) to transcribe it since there is easy access to MIDI libraries, etc. (that I absolutely need). I have a mac and tried to use netbeans, etc (all processes suggested on the quorum site) but they are not working. So, I figured I should be able to use the Quorum plugin that I downloaded on another IDE (a cloud IDE would probably be better). I keep failing and I honestly don't know really know what I'm doing. I'd prefer not to pay for an IDE. I tried orion's cloud ide "che" but it won't let me download the plugin via the internet or give me an option for uploading or running a native file.
Basically, I would like to find someway I can use quorum on my Mac.
Please help.
Doing all this for my graduate degree.
Thanks.

In order to use The Quorum Programming language, it MUST be in the Netbeans IDE. No exceptions.
The process of installing the plugin for Quorum Language Support is as follows:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF THE JAVA DEVELOPMENT KIT!!! - This is VERY important as Quorum 3.0 uses the Latest Version of Java and Quorum compiles to Java Byte Code.
You MUST Have Netbeans 8.0 or greater (at most Netbeans 8.0.2). - This is also very important as Quorum 3.0 takes advantage of features in Netbeans 8.
Go to the plugins page. This can be done by clicking on "Tools" in the Menu Bar and then going to "Plugins"
Go to the Settings Tab and hit the button that says "Add"
In the Name Field, Type "Quorum"
In the URL Field, Type the following: http://quorumlanguage.com/updates/quorum/updates.xml
Now under "Available Plugins", Check the Box for Quorum
Click the Install Button
Restart Netbeans.
Now, upon completed load of the Netbeans IDE, The Quorum Module should ask you if you would like dictation of everything you do. If you do not want this, tell it that you do not. If you do, then go for it.
When you go to Create a new Project in Netbeans, you should see an option for Quorum. If you do see this,then you have successfully installed the Quorum Plugin to Netbeans.

Using Eclipse's 2020-06 built in JavaScript editor, I need to disable the JavaScript informational notes on syntax and warnings as displayed with an (i) icon to the left of the line number and with markers to the right of the scroll bar. See links to the two images showing what these look like.
An example of the informational icon
An example of the markers
There are two warnings repeating numerous times:
'aVariableName' is declared but its value is never read.
This constructor function may be converted to a class declaration.
I would rather turn off these two individual messages since they do not apply to the project, but such control does not appear to exist, but they are overly spamming the editor and are interfering with other notifications and informational notes. FYI: I'm needing to follow specific coding conventions for the project and therefore the warnings don't even apply to the project and are just spam.
So I'll just settle for shutting off javascript validation, but the validation will not turn off.
I've tried to disable the project level settings for the javascript validation through the menu option Window, Preferences, Web, HTML Files, Client-side Javascript, Validator, Errors/Warnings: and unchecked both options of Strict Validation of Javascript keywords usage, and Enable JavaScript semantic validation. But making those changes accomplishes nothing since the warnings are still there even after running validation on the project, cleaning the project, and even restarting eclipse.
The specific version of Eclipse is:
Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers Version 2020-06 (4.16.0)
To try to better explain the need to install Node.js, this is the dialog requested Node.js be installed. The text of the dialog reads: "Missing node.js" "Could not find node.js. This will result in editors missing key features. Please make sure node.js is installed and that your PATH environment variable contains the location to the 'node' executable."
Eclipse's Missing Node.js dialog
Are there any other ways to shut off individual warnings/messages, or the javascript validations? Any help, or constructive suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
Sorry, the stackoverflow editor won't allow in-lining simple images.
Update: So I have not been able to figure out how to disable the informational notices that are showing up in the JavaScript editor along both the left and right margins. I would still love to find out how to do that. I'm wondering if the issues I'm seeing may have been resolved in the current release of Eclipse? I cannot put my development environments at risk if downgrading is not possible. But some hopeful and important details that I have learned is that the latest release of Eclipse "can" support java 1.8 although it says the minimal version supported is Java 11. And also the latest release is better integrated with Node.js so an external install is no longer required. At this time I cannot risk testing the latest Eclipse release due to possible lockout of the workspaces if eclipse cannot be downgraded. I will make plans to rebuild some of the workspaces on another workstation so it will not impact vital projects if something should go wrong.
I was able to disable these javascript validation notes by changing the following setting.
Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors ->Text Editors -> Annotations
find "Infos" in the "Annotation types" and click it
uncheck both the "Vertical Ruler" and "Overview Ruler"
optional - uncheck "Text as "Squiggly Line"
Click Apply and Close
Voila enjoy the less cluttered javascript files
after updating my Eclipse IDE to the actual 2020-06 version the syntax highlighting for JavaScript does not work any more.
Is this a known/common problem and how can I fix this?
After spending most of a day futzing with it, including installing a new instance of Eclipse PDT, I found that I could fix it simply by adding *.js to the File Associations preference page and setting its default to "Generic Text Editor".
Per the Eclipse Bugzilla Report:
Standalone JS Editor is not provided anymore.
To work with JavaScript/TypeScript projects users may install JS [1] or JEE [2] EPP packages, WildWebDeveloper [3] or other products.
[1] https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2020-06/r/eclipse-ide-web-and-javascript-developers
[2] https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2020-06/r/eclipse-ide-enterprise-java-developers
[3] https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-wild-web-developer-html-css-javascript-typescript-nodejs-angular-json-yaml
Basically this means that the Eclipse JavaScript Development Tools (JSDT) is no longer supported.
It could just be me, but [1] seems to be a pretty stripped-down version of Eclipse. It doesn't even include Package Explorer, which baffles me. [2] is a bit better in my opinion, at least having Package Explorer. (I do love Package Explorer 😜) However, I'm not really interested in installing a new version of Eclipse when the way [1] and [2] implement JavaScript support is through [3] Wild Web Developer ("WWD") anyway. (You don't have to follow that link for [3]; you can find it in the Eclipse Marketplace just fine. Also, you'll have to reopen any JavaScript files you have open for the update to work.)
I added WWD through the Eclipse Marketplace on my Windows x64 version of Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, 2020-06. I guess it works, but it sure doesn't integrate like JSDT did.
I'm not thrilled with WWD since the first thing I tried to do is comment a line in JavaScript using Ctrl+/ and it summons a dropdown of keyword and available function choices. Ctrl+. does the same thing, and feels more appropriate, so what's the deal? 🤨 Want to change the keyboard shortcuts? Too bad. There's nothing under the Keys preference that has anything to do with TextMate/WWD actions.
Want to change the syntax coloring? Better love what you're given. There is no Syntax Coloring section or anything like it. There's a TextMate set of preferences, but it seems like anything regarding Theme doesn't actually work. Is it because I use DevStyle and the Darkest Dark theme? Who knows.
There's only one WWD preference (XML), which does nothing but tell you "See 'XML Catalogs' for XML catalogs preferences". Thanks? It's also version 0.10.0.etc, which feels like we're being forced to test it. Overall I'm pretty disappointed, especially since Eclipse just automatically upgraded itself from 2020-03 to 2020-06 and now I'm stuck with this. Boo to you on this move, Eclipse 😞
This is how I fixed it:
Install "Eclipse web developer tools 3.20" from Eclipse marketplace
Restart
Open a JS file. Right-click on line number > Switch to theme > Eclipse light.
Done.
This answer shows how to enable silent printing in Google Chrome. However, I have two web pages which have to be silently printed using two different printers without further user interaction. Is there a way to select a printer automatically before calling window.print()? I don’t mind writing a Chrome Extension if really necessary.
Maybe you could setup your printers with Google Clound Print then use the cloud printing API to silently submit jobs to them. It looks like you can specify the printer id when you submit the job. You might need to use something like html2canvas to rasterize the webpage.
If you are in an environment that you know, and in wich you have enough privileges (i suppose, since you know the printer you want to use) you can try to change it through the command line.
For this, you should call
#RunDLL32.EXE printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n "Printer name"
The printer name has to be the value displayed in the control panel.
For calling command line from javascript, if you have the proper ActiveX controls enabled, you can use:
var run=new ActiveXObject('WSCRIPT.Shell').Run("commands to run");
also, you can try with shell.application ShellExecute
var objShell = new ActiveXObject("shell.application");
objShell.ShellExecute("cmd.exe", 'RunDLL32.EXE printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /y /n "Printer name"', "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32", "open", 1);
For more information you can go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/gg537745(v=vs.85).aspx
I havent tested it, so good luck!
I ended up writing a server in F# and communicating with that through a WebSocket.
I have searched for an answer but it looks like there is no way to set a printer programatically. Therefore my probably complicated solution:
Create a command line application which can switch the default printer of the operating system. Maybe an application which is capable of disabling and enabling a printer. If you are on Windows a .NET application could probably do this. If on Linux there should be a command line interface for printer management (I don't know for sure).
Now make for example a PHP, asp.net or ruby etc. page which is able to call the printer enable/disable program.
If this is working you can use Javascript calls to first print to printer one and after the switch to printer two. However there some disadvantages:
If printer one is printing a document you can not switch to printer two, since this will disable printer one. So somehow you should time how long a common job takes.
There is a lot of overhead in this solution. You need to made extra calls for the switch between printers
Maintainability is absolutely not optimal since you need to maintain the printer switch program and the webservice.
I hope for you someone comes up with a better solution, but I wanted to at least share my thoughts. Maybe they help you in solving your problem.
If you're doing this for a product or webapp that will run in an environment where there are printers etc. A better solution to just giving clients a webappp to run might be to wrap your webapp with a desktop application using Chromium Embedded Framework. Like Chromely (kind of like Electron, but lighter), EdgeSharp or CEFSharp etc.
Using this technique, you can write code that can actually enumerate printers on the network and talk to hardware while still running your webapp and you can expose new JS api's you build in the desktop app to your web application.
Then to make it smart, you can have your webapp work in both environments, running in the desktop app, or directly in a browser. Where it would have advanced extended features running in the desktop application.
Then you can deploy said application a plethora of ways. For example, Windows 10+ you can have a private windows Store for your company and you can deploy the application to your private windows store where it can be installed via the Private Windows Store which you can setup with Group Policies on Windows.
Or you could have a private npm repo and script the install/update of your application. Even old school techniques like Microsoft Click Once installs, and on and on.
But the most power you can possibly give your web application is to give it a custom browser to run on and with Chromium Embedded Framework it's so easy.
In C# you can spin up a simple Chrome wrapper in less than 60 seconds.
Using .Net 6+ and EdgeSharp for example, you could get this to be cross platform on Linux, Windows, and MacOsx, and also port it to Xamarin and IOS pretty easily so that you can have this power on phones, pc's, mac's, and tablets.
I'm looking for a flash script/library to capture video and audio from a webcam and then somehow get a saved flv to my encoding server. I'm not looking for something that will host the videos for me. I just need something simple to capture and then upload. I really want this to be open source and free.
I've done a fair amount of searching and it seems that most of what i can find is either a full blown service with hosting, or the red 5 suite. I've been trying for a day to get something going on with Red5, but honestly I haven't done any flash or java development in over 6 years and this seems way too complicated when all i really want is a flash object i can stick on a webpage.
I've search google and github and am really surprised by the lack of simple options. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks.
I ended up going with Red 5 server and red5recorder. It was tricky to get everything working properly, but here's an overview of what I did:
Check out red5 version 0.9.1 (I couldn't get the latest version working with red5recorder). ant prepare; ant clean dist.
Download the latest source for red5recorder.
Install Eclipse Ganymede Sr2 (3.4.2) Enterprise Edition (the latest version that works with both the red5 plugin and the flash builder plugin).
Install the red5 plugin according to http://wiki.red5.org/wiki/Red5Plugin
Install the Adobe Flash Builder 4 plugin into eclipse-install-dir/flash-builder and built it against the eclipse in eclipse-install-dir
Create a New Dynamic Web Project. I named it Red5Server. Select a New Target Runtime -> Infared | Red5 Server. Target the dist directory in the red5 checkout. so for me:
auto deploy dir: /Users/julia/code/red5-0.9.1.svn/dist/webapps/
start script: /Users/julia/code/red5-0.9.1.svn/dist/red5-debug.sh
stop script: /Users/julia/code/red5-0.9.1.svn/dist/red5-shutdown.sh
Import Flash Builder Project - red5recorder
Right click Red5Server | Run as.. | Run on Server. It should start up the server and show Directory listing for localhost:5080/Red5Server
In red5recorder's Recorder class, change server to be rtmp://127.0.0.1/Red5Server/
Right click on red5recorder.mxml and run it as an application. It should pop up a browser and the recorder should successfully connect to your webcam.
Now, red5recorder is really broken out of the box. It required quite a bit of tweaking to get it to do what it says it will, and once I was more comfortable, I ended up refactoring it altogether to do what I wanted.
There are "simple" demo publish and playback examples for Flash in our source tree. When I say simple I mean dead-simple, have you looked into these?
Broadcast / publish - http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/flash/trunk/simpleBroadcaster.fla
Playback - http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/flash/trunk/simpleSubscriber.fla
Flash examples: http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/flash/trunk/
I'm currently evaluating and reading the rtmp-nginx-module. It looks more stable and very well documented than the other peers I've tried:
RTMPLite: Works well with VideoIO.swf however it's not easily extensible.
Red5: Good luck getting it working correctly!
I thought PDT would do code assisting on JS files. Was I wrong, or is there a bug or something I am missing?
Is the Javascript development tools installed? I'm not sure, whether its installed together with the PHP Development Tools.
Select Help/Install new software, then select the Helios update site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios), then install the Javascript Development Tools from the Web, XML and Java EE category.
Update: See the answer at your other question.
Got here because I had the same problem, first install "Eclipse web developer tools => javascript development tools"
Then instead of creating a javascript project create a "static web project". Right click the project in project explorer choose configure (in the bottom) make sure you add javascript support (if it's not there than it's probably already supported).
Under your project in project explorer there should be an item called javascript resources right click that and choose properties. If the browser libraries or ecma3 libraries are not there you can add them.
