This post addresses URLs generated by Ruby on Rails from a human factors point of view. Allow me to use Hieraki as an example. Hieraki is a great application. It was one of my first introductions to the power of Ruby on Rails. Scenario: When I navigated to Chapter 1 of a book the URL in my address bar was http://www.library.com/read/chapter/6. This inconsistancy ("Am I on Chapter 1 or 6?") threw me for a loop. I navigated back to the book page (http://www.library.com/read/book/2) to check the link again. With reduced confidence, I reclicked the &...

Hello list! Since it is more and more common these days to create enhanced podcasts (= audio files with additional chapter markers [1]), I am searching for an alternative to the currently used MP4 format. ID3 also puplished an official standard for chapters [2], but nobody seems to use and support it. Now I am trying to get something similar with vorbis audio (and maybe an additional container). So far I am aware...

I''m using Hieraki to do some documentation for RubyGems. So far I''m lovin'' it. But I have a question. I currently have three books on the site. It seems that the chapter numbers continue from one book to the next. For example, the first book has 7 chapters (numbered 1-7). The second book has three chapters, but they are numbered (8-10) rather than the (1-3) I expected. (The table of contents in the left hand margin has the correct (1-3) numbering.) Is this a bu...

Dear R-help, I am using Sweave and pdflatex to generate a large report from data contained in my database (Postgres via RODBC). Currently, I work with a single R/Sweave file, containing several "chapter" indications for the Latex engine. My master tex file sets the document class, and includes the introduction, the main Sweave file, and a conclusions and reference file. I use a makefile to produce the final PDF (based on the thread "Sweave, R and complex latex projects: http://tolstoy.ne...

Hallo again! Some month ago we discussed about the Vorbis Comment Chapter Extension: http://wiki.xiph.org/Chapter_Extension I got some critics about this specification, especially from the VLC developers: see https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/6895 Some parts of it: <cite> This specification allows holes between chapters and allows overlapping chapters... And...

I'm trying to create files that contain a video stream, one or more audio streams, subtitles, and DVD-like chapter information. ATM, I use ogm containers that can handle all this. But although ogm is supported e.g. by xine (including chapters), it seems to be an unofficial hack. Is that correct? I'd like to move to ogg containers, since ogm doesn't support theora videos. My final goal is one file cont...

I'm surprised this isn't a FAQ, but I searched all over and could not find a reference to it. Chambers (1998) makes repeated references to "Chapters" in S (e.g., p. 6), but I can find no reference to "Chapters" in R. Since Chapters were not used in earlier versions of S, I'm wondering if R uses them or not. If it does, how does one get them to work? I've been unable to do so. Marsh Feldman [[alternativ...

...atistics and MCMC. JAGS. Bayesian model selection. Multivariate GLMM. R code and data sets available. ----------------------------------------------------- Outline The minimum prerequisite for Beginner's Guide to Zero-Inflated Models with R is knowledge of multiple linear regression, and in Chapter 2 we start with brief explanations of the Poisson, negative binomial, Bernoulli, binomial and gamma distributions. The motivation for doing this is that zero-inflated models consist of two distributions ?glued? together, one of which is the Bernoulli distribution. We begin Chapter 3 with a bri...

Basically I'm looking for DVD like chapters to point to locations within the file. I'd prefer this over having multiple ogg files. Useful for long files, eg from live recordings, interviews, stories, plays and so on. I was thinking something along the lines of; comment[x]="CHAPTER=00:12:13 Third chapter" comment[x+1]="C...

As others have mentioned, Chapter 4 of David A. Black''s book _Ruby for Rails_ is now available for download from the Manning site. The fact that the book is being released one chapter at a time makes it easy to read in small, digestible chunks. I never intended to review every chapter individually here, but now that I...

Folks, Over the past few weeks the Samba-HOWTO-Collection and the Samba-Guide have been significantly updated. Over the next 48 hours I hope to complete this process. Today I have added a new chapter to the Samba-3 by Example book (the Samba-Guide). within 24 hours all mirror site should be hosting the current update. I would very much appreciate review of the new chapter 8 and the rearrangement of the chapters over-all. The rearrangement is in response to requests I have recieved. I need...

This probably I don't think anything currently in Ogg can do this. The closest I can think of is...

...uggestions through Pan, and I only now realised that the posting never arrived on the list although Pan gave me no error message at all! So, let me try again using the good old email-to-email way. You all helped me so much! This is what I'm doing now: - I separated my large file into several chapter files - In each file, I include a Sweave options file using "\SweaveInput" - I make sure to first run a "pre" file, which checks if some files containing data from the database that I need repeatedly are there or not, and if they are not too old. If the files are absent or expir...

I''m trying to write a helper method similar to attr_accessible but instead it will be used to whitelist which attributes are available for serialization (attr_serializable). My first attempt at this was to override serialized_hash and modify the :only option to include nothing but serializable attributes. I''m facing a problem when nested models are ''included''
