Juliabox cannot be launched - julia

Today when I was trying to use JuliaBox on my browser, I found that I cannot even launch it. (Please see the picture below). Every button on the page is not clickable. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks

Azure Application Insights new navigation behavior from dashboard

During > 2 years, behavior of clicking on any application insights charts was to deep dive with chart filters.
below, clicking on exception (yellow bar) chart was going directly to out of the box expection filtered view, etc etc.
Since ~monday 10th september 2018, this behavior changed (there was a ribbon but I can't find the message anymore) stating that appinsights "overview" panel is now the default one: in our situation, this page has no useful information because our appinsights instance is used for tracking logical events and not service performance.
as there was ribbon, I do suspect it's not a bug, is there any other way to recover the previous behavior, I suspect that I'm missing something.
Thank you for reporting a bug! The fix got deployed to PROD couple days ago. Please let us know if you still experience this issue.
It maybe a bug as per #ZakiMa mentioned in comments: The expectation is that this transition was supposed to work as before. The navigation to the Overview is a bug.

LinkedIn follow button results in about:blank page

After I added the LinkedIn Company Page follow button to our website, clicking the button results in an about:blank page. Apparently, after reading some topics concerning the same problem, the Company page does get followed. However, it doesn't look very professional getting redirected to some blank page. Making this post, hoping there is a workaround now that hasn't been posted to the other topics or to get a response from a LinkedIn employee.
Issue details:
Chrome 67, IE11, Edge 42 and Brave 0.23 give the about:blank page.
Firefox is currently the only browser working and it redirects me to the 'confirm follow' page, giving me the message: 'Congratulations! You're now following ...'
So anyone knows a fix or (if working for LinkedIn) any estimate on when the issue will be solved? Thanks in advance!
this is definitely a third party bug on linkedin's side. This problem has been going on for almost a year now and there has never been a good solution that I could find. the best thing to do might be to just delete it from your page. In the link below you will find the source I am talking about.
Hopefully, this will give you a bit more information.

Unless you can contact LinkedIn, you should look for workarounds that enhance the customer experience, like putting some helper text that explains what will happen after the button is pushed.
Also, for what it's worth, if you have some level of premium support with Microsoft, you could try to escalate and have it routed across the org chart. (That's a purely theoretical, I have no recent experience with Microsoft support at any premium level).

Linkedin add to profile (in new profile design)

I have a Linkedin 'add to profile' button in place for the last months. Linkedin deployed a new profile design for some users and the button won't work
The documentation also changed but it's really poor and does not explain anything about required and optional parameters.
It's also hard for me to debug, since I still have the old profile and all work well.
Any help?
UPDATE JUNE 2020: THIS WORKS AGAIN https://addtoprofile.linkedin.com/#header2
I have had an answer from Linkedin support on this subject : "Please also note, with the new site redesign, the Certification information will not auto-populate for members. Clicking on the button will simply take the member to their Certifications section of their Profile where they'll need to manually enter the information.". I have then asked if this is temporary or final and was answered "At this time, we're not sure. However, feedback like yours is definitely important and has the potential to influence product changes."
So I guess that the best thing is to write to Linkedin to share that it's an issue : https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/forum . That the place where I got my answer from
Their answer :
"Great question. With the recent site redesign, the Add To Profile feature will no longer autofill the certification and degree information, but you can add the relevant information directly.
However, we want you to know we are listening and actively monitor your forum posts for your comments and feedback. If you are experiencing any issues with features that are not working properly, please contact us below and we’d be happy to look into this for you! If you’d like to see updates on any features or updates we may have, I encourage you to check out our Blog (blog.linkedin.com) as we will typically post updates there first!
Thanks!"

New feed items not showing in Google Reader

There is a blog, powered by Wordpress, which has valid RSS feed (opens up fine in Safari), but doesn't show new posts in Google Reader. In fact, the latest article from Google Reader is from Jul 21, 2010, while the latest article on the blog dates to Aug 19, 2010.
What should I do about the RSS feed (escape characters? modify XML or what?) for it to work on Google Reader?
This is a reopened question, because the original question I found was migrated to superuser, then closed there because it is best fitted on stackoverflow, so no solution was ever provided, and no chance was given to do so. Please give it a chance to get answered.
Update:
Google Reader pulls new articles, in groups of 10, and not the latest. For example if 12 (or 13, or 11) new articles are not shown in Google Reader, when the next one is added, the oldest 10 (exactly 10) of these articles appear on Google Reader, and the date shown in Google Reader is equal for each article, as if all 10 were published in the same second - the second they appeared on Google Reader. This problem doesn't manifest itself in other aggregators that I've tried.
Update 2:
Articles started showing up regularly, so the problem is solved, temporarily. Why did it happen I don't know, maybe it's because more readers subscribed (for testing purposes), or it's because of the PubSubHubBub plugin that I've added recently. Until it becomes clear, and for 3 more days, this question remains open.
I just added the blog to my Google Reader and had a bit of a play. I noticed the same behaviour you observed where I was missing the 5 most recent posts and a bunch of about 10 of them all had the same date:
After doing a bit of a search on the web, I found this post which explains how you can actually view the Published date via a tooltip on the right-hand side:
Then once I click the "Refresh" button from Google Reader at the top, the new posts showed up:
I believe that high volume blogs that are on the Google spiders' radar would be indexed every few hours and therefore all posts would have their Received date very close to the Published date so nobody notices/cares that it is actually displaying the Recevied date.
For low volume blogs however, it seems the cache is updated much less frequently. Google has some tips to try to get it to update - Feed not updating in Reader. Maybe my subscription to the blog updated the cache, but as the spider has a delay I didn't see the updates till pressing "Refresh". Or maybe the act of pressing the "Refresh" button triggered it to look for new posts immediately.
Lastly I subscribed the blog to my wife's Google Reader account and this time the 5 latest posts came up straight away with matching Received times which translated back to about the time when I pressed the "Refresh" button (or maybe it was when I added the feed).
I feel your pain - I agree that it all seems a bit cumbersome for a low volume RSS feed ...
You may also check with the blog author / hosting company and see if they have turned down the Google indexing rate. Google can create high volumes of traffic on a site. Turning down the indexing rate (crawl rate) will help with that but it b0rks Google Reader.
As other posters have mentioned, it could also be a factor of low popularity / low page rank / something else causing Googlebot to fail to crawl the blog frequently enough.
Google Reader display is dependent on Google crawling the blog to pick up the latest content. Realistically, you'll want a client side pull of the RSS feed to get the latest data so you aren't dependent on Google crawling the website. Outlook 2010, Firefox, many others exist. The client side software will directly pull the updated RSS feed from the blog, capturing the posts as they are published to the RSS feed.
Thank you for your responses, I too have come up with some possible solutions (thanks to you).
I don't know whether It's something I did, or independent of that, but as from yesterday (when you answered to this question), feeds started showing up normally.
Maybe it is due to the fact that thanks to you the blog got more subscribers on Google Reader and the Update Rate bounced (just like #Bermo suggested).
Or, maybe the introduction of the PubSubHubBub plugin changed something. But it's rather the first variant (number of subscribers). Though it is still a mystery why other extremely unpopular blogs give me regular articles in Google Reader.
For now I will only upvote good answers, until everything becomes clear (can't really determine the exact cause) or until the last day of this bounty.

Monitor a specific RSS

For all the RSS feeds I subscribe to I use Google Reader, which I love. I do however have a couple of specific RSS feeds that I'd like to be notified of as soon as they get updated (say, for example, an RSS feed for a forum I like to monitor and respond to as quickly as possible).
Are there any tools out there for this kind of monitoring which also have some kind of alert functionality (for example, a prompt window)?
I've tried Simbolic RSS Alert but I found it a bit buggy and couldn't get it to alert me as often as I liked.
Suggestions? Or perhaps a different experience with Simbolic?
If you have access to Microsoft Outlook 2007 or Thunderbird, these email clients allow you to add RSS feeds in the same way you would add an email account.
I use Google Reader generally but when I want to keep up-to-date with something specific, I add the RSS feed to Outlook and it arrives in my inbox as if it was an email.
RSS isn't "push", which means that you need to have something that polls the website. It's much less traffic than getting the whole site or front page (for instance, you can say "Give me all articles newer than the last time I asked"), but it's traffic nonetheless.
It's generally understood you shouldn't have a refresh of more than 30 minutes in an automated client. (Citation required).
Having said that, you may find a client which allows you to set a more frequent refresh.
RSS2mail is a simple python script which I used extensively a few years back.
As Matthew stated you really shouldn't bother an RSS feed more than the producer allows but you can use http headers to check for changes in a very light way which is something rss2email does quite well.
You could always knock something up yourself... I've done it in the past and it really isn't too difficult a job to write an RSS parser.
Of course, as others have mentioned, there's an etiquette question as to how much of the website's valuable bandwidth you want to hog for yourself in RSS request traffic. That's a matter for your own conscience. ;)
Reading all the answers reminded me that I actually never looked into solving this using a Firefox add-on. I soon found Update Scanner and I think it look really promising!
I like an old version of feedreader for that kind of use, where the icon in the system tray started spinning when new stuff came in (the new version goes from grey to yellow instead).
it's also possible to be alerted for each new message.
I've used Pingie to send me an SMS when a new item appears in an RSS feed. Perhaps, it will be useful for you, if you have a cellphone text messaging plan.
I use RSS Bandit (for Windows) to stay up to date with my RSS feeds/blogs.
There are lots of other RSS aggregator applications though.
If you don't want another "big" application but have Windows Vista, you can also choose to make Internet Explorer monitor the RSS feed and use the Feed sidebar application (called "Feedschlagzeilen in German version, not sure about the English one) that comes with Vista to show the latest headlines.
Since you mentioned a pop-up, I'll add Feed Notifier to the list. It sits in the Windows Tray (or whatever they call it now in Windows 7) and pops up a notification when there are new entries to your feeds. You can set it up with multiple feeds, each with its own polling interval. When there are new entries, it pops up a prompt which you can dismiss or click to go to the entry. You are able to go back and review recent entries later, even if you clicked to dismiss them the first time. If your PC is asleep when a new entry is added, you will be notified the next time you wake it up.
