greetings, running Centos 4.1 i386 on a poweredge 1800, will be trying x86_64 tomorrow since apparently the processors are EM64. anyhow, I'm having issues with this unit producing segmentation faults on 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

Hello, folks! I'm trying to use R as a graphics program, to make some pretty graphs that will go into prosper slideshows. I wrote this fragment, from the R manual, into a file demo.R: x=seq(-3,3,0.1) postscript("cm_test.eps", width = 4.0, height = 3.0, horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, paper = "special", family =

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,

OK, counter-examples. I am channeling Joe, an average C/C++/C#/Java developer who's heard about LLVM and is curious to know what it is. Joe thinks.... I surf to http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#quickstart because I am interested in this LLVM stuff. 1, 2, 3. What documentation? What am I supposed to read? Aaah! This is scary! 4. Install either 4.0 or 4.2. Which one do I want? Which

...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

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

The point is, that there are several possible problems. But. One the one hand they are not really problematic in my opinion (I do not care if my function has potential access to objects outside of its environment because this access is read-only at worst and it's not common practice to use this potential anyways). On the other hand I am not sure what the main()-idiom would actually add to

Hal, I appreciate the clarification. That was what I was expecting (that the transformation uses intrinsics), Intel compiler does the same thing internally, and like LLVM it is into an internal intrinsic, not a plain library call. Nevertheless, there are a huge number of ways (In machine code) to write "the best" memory copy or memory set sort of code if, as a programmer, you are able

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.
