Hello, Please be conscious of Digium's bandwidth and use a Mirror when downloading 1.0.

Several people have been proding me to write up my thoughts on how to fix the IR type system for LLVM 3.0. Here are some (fairly stream of conscious) thoughts on the matter: http://nondot.org/sabre/LLVMNotes/TypeSystemRewrite.txt Comments welcome! -Chris

...x in the wiki. IMHO, for the purpose of documenting and helping (different kinds of) users by means of the wiki, these are adequate. I will take this opportunity to mention some curiosities. Relevant developer(s) in Debian have already known about this ext4 matter for quite some time, but they consciously choose not to add information in the relevant bug report in Debian's bug tracker. They also actively choose not to implement any workaround nor provide any kind of information to its users. (Please note that Debian is not alone in this one; I only mention it here because of OP's scenari...

When specifying an RGB colour in R, is there a strong reason not to accept 3-character HEX codes? In CSS and many other languages, a colour of "#ABC" is automatically converted to "#AABBCC", and I was wondering if R could support that as well, or if it was a conscious decision to not support it. --- http://deanattali.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi It seems that the problem is that you wish to make private for the user, some files, which, for other purposes, should yet remain possibly shared. This problem, for my own, is typically a resource-sharing problem, and may be simply solved in a password-like way. That is, each temp file should be generated with a randomized name. It has been said that this implies 1) modifying shell

Hi all, Both the rails book (1st Ed) and the docs on the rails site (*and* the Mongrel FAQ) tell me that rails (& ActionPack /ActiveRecord) is not threadsafe. Since I need lots of worker threads in the app I''m working on (details at the end of this mail) this poses quite a problem for me. Is the lack of thread safety a conscious design decision (kind of understandable for rails

...Peter Dalgaard has previously posted to R-help for improving graphic quality. I had to change the margins a bit, but here is what it looks like: http://www.broad.mit.edu/~finnyk/Rhome.jpg Personally, I think it looks much better. Because people so often "judge a book by its cover" (subconsciously or consciously), I'm wondering if anyone thinks this is worthy of replacing the current version? I want R to maximize R's appeal and albeit a small improvement, hopefully this change will help a bit! Regards, Finny Kuruvilla -- Finny Kuruvilla, MD, PhD Department of Molecular Biology, M...

Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.39 Severity: normal Since I've upgraded my servers to sarge, I'm getting mail every hour for stuff that was duly included in /etc/logcheck/logcheck.ignore. Turns out that sarge's version no longer reads that file. If this was a conscious decision, then there should be some warning about this when upgrading (via debconf of NEWS.Debian). Also, the

...server? I've been looking at the way thing are done with Apache 2.4 on C7 and in regards to SSL configuration I really don't care for it. It seems convoluted and a bit unnecessarily complicated. /I'm sure there's a good reason for it... I'm either not seeing it, or I'm sub-consciously not interested in why it's this way./ Thanks in advance, Mark

Greetings, I would like to propose adding a buildbot which builds with -Werror. The reason for a new buildbot in this configuration is twofold: 1. It helps users who track and release from ToT, because they (generally) seem to build with -Werror. Speaking from experience :-), new warnings tend to crop up in a large range of commits, and end up blocking one or more of these downstream users.

Hello, I have consciously avoided using step() for model simplification in favour of manually updating the model by removing non-significant terms one at a time. I'm using The R Book by M.J. Crawley as a guide. It comes as no surprise that my analysis does proceed as smoothly as does Crawley's and being a beginner,...

...f, or possibly longer?" * "This patch will allow people to experiment with TSAN on their android devices" * "don't let the perfect be the enemy of "limping along for a bit" So, in order to let *some* people *experiment* with TSAN on *Android*, we're going to consciously make TSAN *limp along* for the foreseeable future? Is that a wise price to pay for such a far fetched goal? The "proper" solution seems to be to fix TLS support, which: * "Ideally, this should be supported with the __thread keyword, but that is not yet supported, and it is a much b...

Apart from that, is there any other difference >> (i.e. performance, kernel stability etc)? CentOS is an outgrowth of early efforts of Lance Davis in the UK, and has been consciously shaped, structured and recruited by me and a couple of other admins at the end of the RHL series to tap 'the best and the brightest' of the pool of non-Red Hat RPM based distribution developers to build a professonal grade 'community' RPM based successor to RHL; some of us ran...

...is suitable for lld's -compress-debug-section=zlib option, which let the linker compress .debug_* sections using zlib. Currently, lld uses compression level 9 which produces the smallest output in exchange for a longer link time. My question is, is this what people actually want? We didn't consciously choose compression level 9. That was just the default compression level for zlib::compress function. For an experiment, I created a patch to use compression level 1 instead of 9 and linked clang using that modified lld. By default, lld takes 1m4s to link clang with --compress-debug-sections=zlib....

In the process of migrating from old lld ELF linker to new (previously ELF2) I noticed the interface lost several important features (ordered by importance for my use case): 1. Detecting errors in the first place. New linker seems to call exit(1) for any error. 2. Reporting messages to non-stderr outputs. Previously all link functions had a raw_ostream argument so it was possible to delay the

I have been trying some different sample rate and bitrate combinations to get a feel for how CELT behaves. I then encoded it with a couple of different frame sizes and sample rates. There were some small differences, but nothing horrible. So, I decided to run with 24KHz sample rate with 16 bit samples. This seemed like a reasonable tradeoff against the quality degradation that my folks

I have a very simple form that looks allows an input for an error code and then give the show page from the scaffolding if the error code is in the database and a notification on the list page, again from the scaffolding if not. Here''s the form: find.rhtml <h1>Find error</h1> <%= start_form_tag :action => ''search''%> <p><label

All, My apologies if this is a little long-winded and stream of consciousness-y :). SUMMARY: Why do we extend ActiveRecord instead of mixing it in to our model classes? Been thinking about my app''s models and starting to want to build something of a hierarchy. I have some commonality across 3 of my model classes and I''d liek to aggregate the behavior in a superclass.
