Rails Documentation is RoR''s achilles heel
Hi All
Just a few minutes back I came across a post about autotest/zentest and that
post reignited the feeling I get when I look at RDoc, RoR documentation.
The main thing that is lacking in RoR and to some extent Ruby''s RDoc is
showing method names in HTML is not documentation. The arguments to method,
exception/errors raised by method, return value and a usage example

Data type question: converting dates
...g message:
In cbind(foo.dates, foo[,2]) :
number of rows of result is not a multiple of vector length (arg 1)
I am sure this is a very basic question on types, but I have spent hours on
this without much luck. Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly welcome.
Thank you in advance.

Compiling Asterisk with G.723.1
...parently Asterisk needs a rather different library than the one provided from ITU.
As I've seen in the mailing list archives, there are quite a few users who were able to compile G.723.1 in *, so, could someone kindly share it with me in order to be able to use this codec?
Thanks in advance,
Achilles.

PDF viewer?
Hi,
I'm looking for a usable PDF viewer with CentOS 4.3. On my previous install
(Slack running XFCE with a handful of GNOME libs), I used Evince, which is just
great. Looks like this is an Achilles' heel in CentOS, as I tested three
available PDF viewers (ggv, gsview, acroread) with various PDF documents
downloaded from the internet (which all display perfectly with Evince): either
the result is just ugly, like Lego for the very young. Or the document can't be
opened at all and produ...

Hmmm. Achilles, Hector, ?, Troy.

Achilles chased Hector around the wall of Troy three times before
Athena, in the form of Hector's favorite and dearest brother, Deiphobus,
persuaded Hector to stop running and fight Achilles face to face. After
Hector realized the tric...

Duncan -
Indeed, this has now been well documented; I have called these constructions "Schr?dinger Facts", since they arise from a superposition of truths in the training data that collapse into an untruth when observed.

Now, the curious question is: why can it program. Why is its production of R-syntax less vulnerable to this effect than a literature quote, or reference? Maybe it has to do with the fact that in producing correct syntax there is a ground truth - errors just will not run. But I'm not sure...

I have boosted my productivity !
Just a positive experience I would like to share with you : testing is
great on paper but very tedious to apply because nobody wants to run
manually the tests by hand.
Last week I have discovered zentest, an automated test process command
line utility. That was at the beginning (hopefully) of a new project.
Believe it or not, I have started to code most parts of the application

I followed the docs, but I have once issue, on hardboot it still fscks the

setting.
thanks for the advice and work.

Samba - Oplocks = no

disable oplocks on my samba server. What kinds of problems, if any could

Problem with X11
...an understandable answer to that question yet (see [d] below for sessionInfo() details).[c] to all R users: I use as OS a debian derivative (Kubuntu) long-term service version; this spring/ early summer as I was told, a new LTS would be released. Has a new/ revised R version in release in 2016 any Achille's heel that is already known?

undesireable lazy loading

My work with Rails has been fairly straightforward, until yesterday...
I''ve encountered rather a peculiar problem that I''m not able to solve
myself as a rails-newbie.
The model code looks like this:

class UserVote < ActiveRecord::Base

I was wondering which anchor would match in the regular expression
"(a)|(b)" if both "a" and "b" matches the target string. What appears
to happen is that the first match wins, and that's how it is documented
in Python, but I was looking for docs on this in R.
As far as I can see, the ?regex help page doesn't resolve this. So just

[OT] "normal" (as in "Guassian")
Hi Folks,
Apologies to anyone who'd prefer not to see this query
on this list; but I'm asking because it is probably the
forum where I'm most likely to get a good answer!
I'm interested in the provenance of the name "normal
distribution" (for what I'd really prefer to call the
"Gaussian" distribution).
According to Wikipedia, "The name "normal
