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 completes the

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. Achilles Venetoulias Tel: (212) 988-2276 axilleas@stanfordalumni.org [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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...

An interesting chat with ChatGPT
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. https://sentientsyllabus.substack.com/p/chatgpts-achilles-heel 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 without using

...cters), or (b) barring that, the function should at least error out with a clear error explaining that sapply, for example, cannot vectorize on the class being used? Returning incorrect answers is far worse than returning an error, from a perspective of stability. This is, by far, the largest Achilles' heel to 'R'. Personally, as my career advances and I work on more technical things, I am finding that I have to leave 'R' by the wayside and use other languages for robust numerical calculations and programming.

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?

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 for fun, I decided to

[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
