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

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

I've been a R-user for quite some time. The graphic on the home page looks a bit in need of polish so I applied some antialiased transformations that 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

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

Hello List, I'm in the process of migrating LAMP servers. I've got a C5 LAMP server in my rack that has been running faithfully without complaint for the past 9 years. In some ways I really hate to move out of it, but there are things to get done, things to consider and reasons that make the migration necessary. I've got a C7 server loaded and the basic configuration partially

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, I'm struggling with what to do next. I have a model: lm(y~A * B *

Folks, The review of patch http://reviews.llvm.org/D11532 is extremely slow due to the number of hacks, left-overs and general undesired changes and style that the submission has. That happens, and it's ok when the overall direction the patch is going was agreed, and is acceptable as generally good. But this is not the case. To wake up the elephant in the room, do we really think that

Folks, I'd like to get expert's opinion on which compression level 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

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

...iticism is appreciated. -- -john -- The deep fascination of myths is that they speak directly to deeper levels of our nature and to the subconscious, and give the profound assurance that we are each, in essence, deathless and immortal sparks of Divinity on the long evolutionary journey into higher consciousness. - Sir George Trevelyn

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...
