A cautionary tale on multiple databases under a single Rails app
Here is a cautionary tale to help others avoid my folly! I kept running into bizarre problems with my rails app. I run the latest Rails with FastCGI, Oracle 10g and Apache 1.x. After moderate load the server would throw up application errors. Looking in the logs I noticed that my underlying Oracle DB was complaining t...

Migrating Domain from TNG to 2.2.2: A cautionary tale
Hello, We recently undertook to migrate our domain from samba-TNG to samba-2.2.2. However, it did not go smoothly. One of the main reasons is that even if you start 2.2.2 with the domain SID from the TNG installation, you find that the users' RIDs are different. This is because samba-TNG calculates the RID from the unix UID using the formula UID*4 + 1000 where as 2.2.2 uses UID*2 +1000. At

The Cautionary Tale of Multi-Arch glib
I'm mainly writing this in hopes that it gets picked up by Google in case anyone else runs into this problem. I was going to distribute the source & binaries for the first sneaky- peek at Swfdec for Mac OS X today. But yesterday, when I tried running my player application within Mac OS X's PowerPC emulator (Rosetta), I noticed it was crashing in some animations with the

Cautionary tale about c (PR#695)
This situation arose in a computer practical this morning. A student overwrote "c" with a function. This messes up lots of things, but it is difficult to remove the function "c" from the global environment because it is used as a function in both "rm" and "remove". [The solution was to reassign "c" as a number, and then remove it.] Would it be

Re: Voicemail on Different Server (MySQL Replication split thread)
...n or problems since implementation 6 mos ago. To qualify that I must say, I only do one-way replication. Master and Slaves are on the same switch fabric, >.7msec latency between hosts. I attended a MySQL HA class, Replication was covered in depth and discussed heavily, at no time did I receive cautionary information about possible data corruption or bad experiences from others in the class or from the instructors. I do daily backups of the master database and also regularly check bin file status between all servers to ensure no server is falling behind. I'm not trying to dispute or start a fl...

FileCheck: combining -DAG and -NOT
...eal question: *Should* FileCheck run the second -DAG group before it runs the -NOT group? Then the range for the -NOT would be bounded by the matching points for the surrounding -DAG lines, which probably matches what basically everybody expects to happen. Or, leave things as they are, and add a cautionary tale to the FileCheck documentation page? Given there's an actual documentation example, it would seem inappropriate to make it an *error* if a -NOT is followed by a -DAG! Thanks, --paulr

odfWeave & XML error in post-processing
I've been happily building a file with odfWeave, and just as the hour draws nigh for it to be sent off, odfWeave or XML throws the following catastrophic error: ...this is the tail of entirely uneventful processing of input file..... 31 : term xml(label=LR_Fall_Model_Results) 32 : term verbatim(label=LR_Model_Fall_graph) 33 : term xml(label=LR_OMC_tab) 'content_1.xml' has

[LLVMdev] WinEH work to be done (in progress and otherwise)
...we haven't updated as we encountered and solved problems. I think the best we can do is add a subdirectory of test-suite that's outside it's makefile system and go from there. Or we could add a new repo similar to the ABI test suite that Sony contributed. However, you may see that as a cautionary tale. Sony added the test suite, and nobody else runs it and the bot has been broken for a month. I guess my conclusion is that this will probably be a lot of work, and I think it'll provide less value than you expect from it. But, if you think it's worth it and want to push it through, th...

glm questions
...rated model's -2lnL ? 2. Why no 'scaled deviance' in output? Or, how are you supposed to tell if there is over-dispersion? I just checked andSAS gives us the scaled and nonscaled deviance. I have read the Venables & Ripley (MASS 4ed) chapter on GLM . I believe I understand the cautionary point about overdispersion toward the end (p. 408). Since I'm comparing lots of other books at the moment, I believe I see people using the practice that is being criticized. The Pearson Chi-square based estimate of dispersion is recommended and one uses an F test to decide if the fitted...

What follows is primarily addressed to Reid and David, but since it some of it is relevant to the Windows exception handling proposal under discussion, I thought I should copy the LLVMDev distribution list. Anyone interested should feel free to jump in and discuss. My primary purpose here is to talk about what I'm working on so that anyone who is also working on the same things can let me

Excel
...process when data is obtained in an Excel spreadsheet is to save the spreadsheet as a .csv file then read it into R. Experienced users might have learned to be wary of dates (as I have) but possibly have not experienced what just happened to me. I thought I might just share it with r-help as a cautionary tale. I received an Excel file giving patient details. Each patient had an ID code in the form of three letters followed by four digits. (Actually a New Zealand National Health Identification.) I saved the .xls file as .csv. Then I opened up the .csv (with Excel) to look at it. In the column of...

[LLVMdev] Chaitin-Briggs Register Allocation in LLVM
Hi, We noticed that LLVM has implemented register allocation using PBQP and Briggs as a heuristic for spilling. Is there a direct implementation of the Chaitin-Briggs register allocation algorithm? We intend to modify parts of this algorithm in order to implement a variant of it. It will save us a lot of time if it is already implemented, rather than writing the code from scratch. Thanks and

bug in difftime with as.POSIXct
...ng this on with R-2.6.1 on a powerpc-apple-darwin8.10.1 system. I get the same results for as.POSIXlt() instead of as.POSIXct(), but the problem goes away if I use ISOdatetime for the first date in the difference. Since I have a workaround, I am mainly posting this as a bug report, and also as a cautionary note, in case other folks search the forum for similar issues. > difftime(as.POSIXct("1975-04-26"),ISOdatetime(1899,12,31,12,0,0),units="days") Time difference of 27508.5 days > difftime(as.POSIXct("1975-04-27"),ISOdatetime(1899,12,31,12,0,0),units="days&q...

german translation
Hello dear R-core, I would be willing to offer some spare time to generate a german translation of R.pot and RGui.pot. Do you still need a translator or does someone already work on that task? (I hate useless duplication of efforts.) To whom shall I send the de.po file? Or should I generate a diff against the latest svn sources? What's your standard procedure for these cases? Are there
