...ervers based on CentOS (still have a couple old ones), but the direction the RedHat world is going, is just deviating too much from mainstream Linux. About 4 years ago, I started to migrate servers to Debian, or install new ones for different purposes. IMHO Debian is middle ground between ultra conservatism (RedHat previously, now quirkiness), and bleeding edge (Archlinux). I have also tried to upgrade Samba in the CentOS boxes on several occasions (building from sources), but it's not worth the trouble. The amount of work is just too much. It doesn't make sense. I hope this information c...

...e: * why "[.default"(x, i) doesn't work if dim(x) is 2? After all a single subscript into a vector works regardless of whether it's a matrix or not. Is there an alternative way to access "[.default"? * why does unclass() make deep copy? This is a facet of the global over-conservatism of R with respect to copying. * is it possible to add some sort copy profiling to R? Something like copyProfiling(TRUE), which should cause R to log sizes of each copied object (just raw sizes w/o any attempt to identify the object). This feature should at least help assess the magnitude of the pro...

I'm current facing an issue related to AliasSetTracker/LICM: the transitive closure of the alias sets is materially more conservative than individual aliasing queries and this conservatism leads to generally worse optimization in LICM. For instance, consider this module: declare i32 @only_reads() readonly declare void @escape(i32*, i32*, i32*) define void @f(i32 %count) { entry: %a = alloca i32 %b = alloca i32 %c = alloca i32 call void @escape(i32* %a, i32* %b, i32* %c)...

Oh No. Just because something works well it does not stop being "technology" unless the USA people, who have decimated my language (English), have a new definition for "technology".

Yes. But the C++ version of this is quite different, because...

Hi, Running samba 4.10.16 on CentOS7. It's a fileserver but with a split personality. For everything UNIX authentication is NIS (I know ;-) but for samba we authenticate to AD and all users have the same uidNumber & gidNumber as they do in NIS. This has been working fine but now I have some users who suddenly lose write access to their files, sometimes. One user has 2 workstations (1

So here is it as txt file. It is funny that a R file is restricted in R-devel mailing list. Anyhow, in this case R-core have a few choices here: * ignore my solution * show that it is actually bad or worse * consider adding it Considering, that it is a minor change from previous version and doesn't bother the existing usage, I saw the necessity to submit it here. But newer solution

...ops, and I expect a number of awesome new adaptors to paper over the Module::global_begin() sorts of ranges. It would also be great to get something like python's enumerate function etc. In short, you don't have to convince me about the benefits of dropping old compilers! :-) At root, my conservatism comes from not wanting to hurt adoption of LLVM. The hosts that I specifically care about are not the problem here, they are windows and GCC users, and I am certainly not the expert on either of them, but it is pretty obvious that LLVM is used by folks outside the core development group, and makin...

Hello, I'm playing with alias analysis, using the following program: %i = external global int ; <int*> [#uses=2] implementation ; Functions: int %_Z3bari(int %p) { entry: %tmp.0 = load int* %i ; <int> [#uses=1] %tmp.1 = setgt int %tmp.0, 10 ; <bool> [#uses=1] br bool %tmp.1, label %then, label %UnifiedReturnBlock then:

Daveed: Perhaps I am looking at the wrong version of the specification. Section 5.1.2.3 appears to refer to objects having volatile-qualified type. The type of malloc() is not volatile qualified in the standard library definition. In general, calls to procedures that are outside the current unit of compilation are presumed to involve side effects performed in the body of the external procedure

...''ll never get out - but Rails would be perfect for a lot of my projects. I''m anticipating some skepticism here. A while back someone tried to push for ColdFusion and got shut down... obviously I think Rails is better (not to mention cheaper), but there''s definitely some conservatism going on. So, I''m appealing to the community... what are my strongest arguments here, the ones that the execs will find most compelling? Has this worked for anyone else, and if so, how?

Except for the leeway offered by 5.1.2.3/3. This is no different from not requiring that an actual store operation happen in something like: void f(int x) { x = 3; } >> The same concept exists in C++, and we often refer to it as the "as >> if" rule; i.e., implementat...

Definitely 2 camps on this issue; so why not compromise with a drop-down menu for the most frequently used processes, the user responds with the necessary parameters for his choice, and R then writes the source statements on the terminal and executes them. The user follows the familiar gui procedure, is thereby automatically introduced to the command statements involved, and R's

Most of the effort opposing systemd seems to be going into anti-systemd advocacy campaigns, plus a tiny slice off to the side going into retrenchment to SysVInit. That?s conservatism, plain and simple. With all due respect, many people just stopped offering any argument about systemd, and simply fled elsewhere which in _their_ opinion (and I am one of them) lies better in what they with their education and life experience is more reasonably resembling system suitable for se...
