Back in the Windows 3.0 days when windows had no tcp networking of its own, I put together a DOS binary built from gnutar and the wattcp stack so you could back up a windows or dos box to a unix system via rsh. And when I tried to give it away I was contacted and told that I couldn'...

...practically everything. this is not an issue just with Centos 4.x, but also RHEL 3. so I resorted to RH9, but had other issues with hardware drivers. Today, I installed OS and everything went smoothly, to a point. this server will ultimately be used for a point of sale application called counterpoint. What I did was install the app (worked great), installed an sql interface to the db (worked great). added some data to the db and posted sales. This is where I have the continual problems with linux. as soon it starts the posting, in another windows I did a ps -ef and got Segmentation fau...

I left a file "thisworks.eps" there as a counterpoint (it was made using jgraph and it works fine). The resulting sl_demo.pdf is attached. It's supposed to be a slideshow. Under Adobe acrobat, when I say Ctrl-L it must go fullscreen. That works correctly for thisworks.eps but not for the eps file that's made using R. Any ideas what I'm d...

This is a recent desktop. Xubuntu 19.10 Compiling for 10.0.0 clang and llvm. See below. For this test, running 14 processors in a gui VM. The cores are hyperthreaded, processors are twice the cores, but all the cores before the run are showing negligible activity. compile_commands.json has 3022 entries. The ninja compile run lasted 7 minutes and 43 seconds with 99% all processor usage

I appreciate the well-thought-out comments. To your first point, I am not sure what "glattering" means precisely (a Google search revealed nothing useful), but I assume it means something to the effect of overfilling the main namespace with too many names. Per Norm Matloff's counterpoint in The Art of R Programming regarding this issue, this is mostly avoided by well-defined, (sufficiently) long names. Also, when a program is properly modularized, one generally wouldn't have this many objects at the same time unless the complexity of a program demands it. You can, for example,...

But I do remember trying to get started with this and facing a lot of these same questions, so I'm offering this up merely as a counterpoint to what I perceive to be the implied response of "The documentation is fine, you just didn't read it right".

...necessary connection there. > Having written the Cucumber Backgrounder guide I believe that I am well aware of some of the current fashions in software development. The idea of incremental feature enhancement that you introduced is at once orthogonal to my original point and yet forms an ironic counterpoint that highlights the problem. The issue of data integrity is a separate matter entirely. I raised the issues of needless incompatibility and the avoidable costs of retraining and re-implementation of existing, satisfactory, solutions. You reply with a comment extolling incremental featurism. I a...

...me software). But the magazine did not do that. They went completely by what they heard, knowing what they were listening to. imo, they *wanted* FLAC to have problems, and that is what they heard. (note that I snipped a large part of your reply. I mostly agree with what I snipped, with a few counterpoints.)

Dear R-devel, Packages don't allow for subfolders in R with a couple exceptions. We find in "Writing R extensions" : > The R and man subdirectories may contain OS-specific subdirectories named unix or windows. This is something I've seen discussed outside of the mailing list numerous times, and thanks to this SO question

Ted, thanks for your feedback. Just kidding. ;) I was not saying our documentation was totally fine. I simply was saying that I felt that the getting started quickly s...

I am looking at Asterisk for a large scale implementation. I was wondering if anyone had any experience (that's code for nice things or not so nice things to say about it) with Asterisk for 50k plus users. Feel free to reply to me directly or back to this list (if it's appropriate. I'm not sure what the proper netiquette is). Thanks in advance... Harry

Hallo all, euphoria with cheese, the project i working on, i needed to make decision about codecs and containers we use. I'm clearly not expert in this. After the euphoria about vp8/webm going slowly to the end, i see advantages what theora has against vp8. Seems like theora perform better on LoEnd hardware. Even x264 with good optimisation work not really good on slow Athom. My question to

...that implement these equivalences have those conditions programmed into them, but with no real way to indicate that to the compilation system. That sometimes makes it very tricky (as Rob is bringing up) for the lowering of these intrinsics to do as good of a job as the original loop did. Now as a counterpoint, of course there are also a bunch of cases where the compiler will do MUCH better than the original loop as well, and that is why both the LLVM and Intel compilation systems have made the effort to do this transformation. I'm just trying to point out that the transformation from loop to intrin...

I see Thomas has already nailed this one, so it becomes a non-issue. Nevertheless I feel moved to say I think the idea would have been a step in the wrong direction in the first place. It comes from a desire to make R behave "a bit more like matlab" and that is ultimately unhelpful.
