Compact PST files using Redemption - outlook-redemption

Is it possible to shrink, compress, or compact a PST store using Redemption? I can't seem to find anything on the subject so I assume no.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to do that progmatically through C#?

There is no programmatic access to that feature exposed by the PST provider.

How to access USDZ schema at runtime

From what I have read at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/usdz_schemas_for_ar it looks like you can do some great AR stuff like anchoring all from within the USDZ file itself.
I understand you can access this schema with python, but I would like to access the schema at runtime with Swift. Is that possible?
At the moment (February 2022) – no way!
Let's wait for AR USD schemas API.

How can I programmatically create a backup of my iOS Calendar and of the Reminders in iOS?

In the Mac Calendar app, I can save a backup archive with all calendar entries and all reminders. The backups file has the extension .icbu.
Questions
Is it possible to create this file programmatically on iOS?
How can I programmatically restore such a backup?
Apparently according to the available API there is no way, there are many other identical questions unanswered.
If the data format is not important you may (very brutal solution but i can't come up with anything better) retrieve all the items and create a file in .ics format that as far as i now is also exported and is known and easier to eventually parse. But my information is not updated so you may want to investigate more.

Charting control options for Silverlight for Windows Embedded

I want to make a charting control for an embedded device using Silverlight for Windows Embedded. Currently i am planning to use line shape for drawing the graph.
My question is if its a good approach(performance wise) or should i look for other options.
Or if any controls are available for SWE.
Thanks
Silverlight is not a proper answer to drawing charts on an Windows Embedded Compact device. You should go for using (or creating) a native GDI element. If performance is very important (e.g. for a fast-updating chart), you might also consider DirectDraw.
The best way in a commercial project would probably be to use a readymade component, such as this one.
You can find somebody else's experiences and advice here for pointers to what to look for when doing this yourself. If you expand your post with more details about what you are actually trying to achieve, I might give you a more detailed response.
The answer is stop using Silverlight, since Microsoft is abandoning the product. Do it in Flash—or better yet, use HTML5 and JavaScript.
In recent windows embedded applications that use windows universal apps I would highly recommend oxyplot.

These plots are the best I've found on the internet so far and very easy to use. Best of all they are free. You can get these using a NuGet Package manager which makes getting updates fairly simple.

Captcha based on image rotation implemented somewhere?

Having read google's paper from 09 [1] about captchas based on image rotation I wonder if they are implemented somewhere. Did anybody see an actual system which uses them? (I haven't created a google account in a while, but I think they still use "normal" captchas)

File upload with the ability to resume (preferably in Ruby on Rails)

this is quite a difficult topic by all accounts. I am building a website that requires users to upload large (multi-GB). What is the best way allow users to upload a file on a website and allow the file upload to be resumed should it fail? What is the way to write this in rails?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Max.
No browsers support resuming uploads.
From my Googling, Flash doesn't seem to, either.
Though I don't know enough about Java to say it's impossible, there don't seem to be any pre-rolled upload solutions that support this method.
In short, you would have to code your own out-of-browser/plugin solution. If that is not feasible, you may have to abandon this feature. Sorry!
EDIT: Actually, after using a better search query, here's a Java solution that seems to support this through partitioning the initial file: JumpLoader. Here is the documentation page for resuming downloads. Best of luck! (You will note that there are purchase links - this is only for an unbranded version, and for the source code. You can use the JumpLoader branded version for free.)
No browser support this, In fact this cannot be done over HTTP.
You will have to write your own java applet, ActiveX control or WPF browser application to achieve this. Any of this will speak to a TCP server listening on the server side to achieve pause-and-resume upload of file.
Six years since you asked, but for future viewers, take a look at ResumableJS. It uses HTML5 File API to break uploads into chunks. They also include a RoR example for accepting the upload.
