I don't know if I'm brain damaged this A.M. or what, but I can't figure (recall?) why this summary says CentOS 5 in the "Today's Topics", has "el5" and "centos.3" as well in the md5sum. Gentle chides for being dense this morning are accepted. TIA -- Bill

We often refer requesters to the Posting Guide and chide them for not reading it. Recently I had occasion to re-read the Posting Guide which is for all R lists not just R-help. The word "reproducible" does not appear anywhere in the guide. The closest it comes is the following suggestion: "Sometimes it helps to provide a small example tha...

...the documentation." The imperfections in the documentation become much more annoying after that. Both the simple things like spelling and printer unfriendly formatting. But also the annoying questions such admonitions leave unanswered about the scope and source of documentation we're being chided about repeatedly. (Is this page sufficient reading material? Should we look at the entire docs directory? How familiar should one be with the tool chain for building files on their local filesystem? and so on...) Again, I'd have no idea how to answer such questions so I wouldn't know how t...

Dear all, I am a fresh user of R and I already face to problems that I don't understand. In the use of the function nls(), I systematically have an error message : "Singular gradient matrix at initial parameters estimates". I tried to use nls() on a set of data that I subseted from a bigger matrix data. I wish to fit a gaussian on these points (spectrum) and draw this fit on the

Disclaimer: The following are observations by a relatively new user (couple of weeks) of RSpec and not intended as RSpec trollbait. Also, forgive me if similar topics have been discussed elsewhere on the mailing list. I at least did the due diligence of a quick search. That said... I''ve been positively thrilled with RSpec for use outside of Rails. It has been in my attempts

...s would be awesome. > > - Feature parity - to the level found in the ARM64 and AArch64 backends today As a note this should definitely be "Today", as in the day you sent the email/had the meeting/etc. No new work should be considered part of the final sign off - basically a gentle chide for people to stop putting new features into the existing AArch64 backend :) -eric

As some of you might have noticed, the official Samba web site [1] has been revised during the sambaXP conference [2]. The web design was revamped and a new logo has been created. Some of the related pages (e.g. the Wiki [3]) have already been adapted to the new style as well. Special thanks go to Blackbit [4] for creating the new design, to SerNet [5] for sponsoring and to Stefan Metzmacher

Hi all, Just ran across this article http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/how-not-to-use-ajax/ and was curious what the consensus is on the bookmarking and search indexing problems. I remember seeing something about bookmarking on the list. Thanks, Ben -- Ben Jackson Diretor de Desenvolvimento INCOMUM Design & Conceito ben-p14LI7ZcAE/pVLaUnt/cCQC/G2K4zDHf@public.gmane.org

...(and parts of the resulting wiki) with rather a lot to say about ***Object Oriented Process<http://wiki.awebfactory.com.ar/awebfactory/published/ObjectOrientedProcess> *, which I believe is joined at the hip to Rails, given that it is a patterns oriented (MVC, and others too) framework. I do chide AWDWR<http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails/index.html>a bit for its downplaying of process (Agile or otherwise), although I want to make it clear that I think it''s a wonderful Bible, and I do understand that it has to stick to the subject of Rails and the code, and present...

Hi all, A bunch of us met at EuroLLVM to discuss the planned merge of the two current AArch64 backends in the tree. The primary question was which backend should form the basis of the merge (since the core .td files aren't directly mergeable), with code being cherry-picked from the other on a case-by-case basis. There were factors to consider both ways, but I think the key points of interest

Not sure if it''s been posted yet, my email is currently down... http://weblog.infoworld.com/yager/archives/2007/10/suns_zfs_is_clo.html Interesting piece. This is the second post from Yager that shows solaris in a pretty good light. I particularly like his closing comment: "If you haven''t checked out ZFS yet, do, because it will eventually become ubiquitously implemented
