Completely off topic, but amusing?
Folks: Thought that many on this list might find this amusing, perhaps even a bit relevant. Hope it's OK: ************ WASHINGTON - The government's estimate of the number of Americans without health insurance fell by nearly 2 million Friday, but not because anyone got health coverage. The Census Bureau <http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/?p=Census+Bureau> said it has

FYA (for your amusement)
Well, we knew the 'Net was invented solely for cute cat pictures. Now I have proof that selinux is part of that conspiracy. From dmesg, on one of my servers: [ 3366.091561] SELinux: 8 users, 14 roles, 5031 types, 316 bools, 1 sens, 1024 cats mark

an unusual use for R
I thought some of you might be amused by this. In my non-work time, I'm an avid weaver and teacher of weaving. I'm working on a project involving creating many detailed weaving patterns, so I wrote R code to automate it. Details here: http://stringpage.com/blog/?p=822 If the overlap between R users and avid tablet weavers turns out to be >> 1, I'll polish it up and turn it

Clang is a resource hog, the installers for Windows miss quite some files, and are defect!

No thanks for breaking third-party applications
Hi *, I was just debugging why TFTP booting did not work any more on a system that had pxelinux.0 was updated. ?Since version 5.00, support for 16-bit COMBOOT modules has been dropped, and c32 modules switched from the COM32 object format to ELF.? Ugh. Well, updating the *.c32 files was enough to make the Linux discless thingy work again. BUT! The MirBSD bootloader actually took advantage of

The Origins of R AND CALCULUS
An amusing afterthought : What is a rival software (ahem!) was planting this, hoping for a divide between S and R communities.or at the very minimum hoping for some amusement. an assumption or even a pretense of stealing credit is one of the easiest ways of sparking intellectual discord Most users of softwares don't really care about who gets credit ( Who wrote Windows Vista ,or Mac OS or Ubuntu Linux), and the NYT is a newspaper not a journal. Does any student, or...

OFF TOPIC: chatGPT glibly produces a lot of wrong answers?
...correct are worse than a coin flip But its suggestions are so annoyingly plausible" ************************************* from here: https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/07/chatgpt_stack_overflow_ai/ Hmm... Perhaps not surprising. Sounds like some expert consultants I've met. ? Just for amusement.

[LLVMdev] Circular dependencies
Reid added some nice inter-library dependency data to utils/llvm- config/LibDeps.txt. There are three sets of circular dependencies between LLVM libraries. If you use any library from one of these sets, you may need to pull in the rest: LLVMCodeGen.o LLVMSelectionDAG.o libLLVMAnalysis.a libLLVMTarget.a libLLVMTransformUtils.a libLLVMipa.a LLVMSparcV9.o LLVMSparcV9InstrSched.o

Time just moved backwards
This wins the 2007 award for strangest (or most amusing) log message: dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 13 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. It does, unfortunately, leave dovecot dead, which was pretty mysterious to me. Maybe it could re-exec instead?

New York Times Article: Data Analysts Captivated by R's Power
Readers of this list might be interested in the following article in the New York Times and might find amusing the notion that "Some people familiar with R describe it as a supercharged version of Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet software...". http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/07/technology/business-computing/07progra m.html?_r=1&ref=technology Art

Speex on windows, audio cutting out ("bug" discussion and fixes)
Hi everyone! Our company is writing some voice chat software using Speex, and I am in charge of writing the Windows-only portion of the code. I've just finished tracking down a very nasty little bug in our program, and, I saw similar symptoms of the bug in one or two posts in the list archives, so I thought I would make a new post in case anyone runs across this again. Symptom:

Design changes are done in Fedora
...? It was arrogant change with absolutely no regard for the existing Centos/RHEL users. That *is* a strange "design goal" (or 'objective' in English). Some may consider that "goal" an inadvertent omission. Obviously designed by non-Centos/RHEL users for their personal amusement and pleasure and not as an acceptable enhancement that could be implemented, perhaps in phases, within minimum disruption to existing systems reliant on stable Centos/RHEL. Yes, I know it takes brains to properly consider all the implications of major changes. On this occasion it seems the 'br...

[LLVMdev] Circular dependencies
Hi Eric, Its definitely amusing :) About the only thing I can suggest are: 1. Combine LLVMSparc*.o into one LLVMSparc.a. That work is already happening with the new Sparc backend that is being developed. Should be out in 1.7 (Chris?) 2. Combine the JIT/Interpreter/ExecutionEngine into one .a I don't know enough about the codegen/target/analysis/ipa stuff to be able to make any

Good for a chuckle
I see in my overnight email spool: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=726872 I am amused because this kind of request comes up time and time again with respect the package management system It is technically _possible_ to attain this kind of rollbacks, in some tightly controlled environments [something like cell phone tower control computer applications, where there are
