Dear all, The other day I stumbled on this article, "A critique of R and S-PLUS" [1], and got curious on whether the points outlined are (still) valid. The article is quite old, dating 2004, but was updated several times. Regards, Liviu [1] http://fluff.info/blog/arch/00000041.htm -- Do you know how to read? http://www.alienetworks.com/srtest.cfm Do you know how to write?

I have just started laying out the plans for my first project using Asterisk. I am very interested at this stage in getting much needed feedback, critiquing my approach. What are the ups and downs going to be if I develop this project as follows: -The client wants to connect some phone reps in India through a VoIP to their clients. -There will be 3 phone lines, and 1 broadband internet connection. -Since there will be very little bandwidth requir...

Perhaps most of you have already seen this? http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/google-r-style.html Comments/Critiques? Thanks, Esmail ps: Reminds me of PEP 8 for Python http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ Maybe not that surprising since Python is also one of the main languages used by Google.

Greetings: In R parallel's vignette, there is a comment "It would however take only slightly more work to allocate a stream to each task." (p.6). I've written down a working example that can allocate not just one, but several separate seeds for each task. (We have just a few project here that need multiple streams). I would like to help work that up for inclusion in the

Hey guys, I toyed around with the Wiki today to deuglify it a little bit. I used a theme which is a bit of a "CMS" theme for MoinMoin and played around with the logo colors. The theme is based on the plsavez theme, which I like as it has a very uncluttered interface for people who aren't logged in - they only see some important interwiki links (FrontPage, RecentChanges and so on),

Hi all, I just came across the following page: http://r3mix.net In the "News" section there is a fairly negative critique of Vorbis; especially it is mentioned that Vorbis "has terrible masking problems". There is also a Vorbis-encoded frequency sweep which shows strong deficiencies at high frequencies, but I suppose this is due to the quite low bitrate of the distributed

I'm looking for a way to approximate the "zero-overhead" model of code reuse available in languages like Python, Perl, etc. I've described this idea in more detail, and the motivation for this question in an earlier post to R-help (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2016-September/442174.html). (One of the responses I got advised that I post my question here instead.) The

Hello. I recently tried to improve a module I have which is used to create one or more instances of mysql per node. The original module had lot''s of code repetition to get around gaps in my skills. The new improved module has less code repetition but doesn''t seem as clean as I imagined it in my head:) The env is puppet 2.6.4, facter 1.5.8, solaris 10 x86 and nodes.pp

Good day! I create diagram of encoder process. Using it i create implementation of encoder in FPGA (Xilinx/Altera). Please critique it. Is there missing stages? Here is blog http://developer-fpga.blogspot.com/ Here is picture of encoding stage 1 https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-NV8o9DG3jvE/TYjYXr-dYGI/AAAAAAAAAos/U06O-YvhSI0/s1600/stage1.jpg Here is picture of encoding stage 2

Thank, Timothy! I add this stages. About RLE: I have one more unresolved stage. Mike Melanson wrote in "VP3 Bitstream Format..." about RLE using: "* Zigzag Ordering: After transforming and quantizing a block of samples, the samples are not in an optimal order for run length encoding. Zigzag ordering rearranges the samples to put more zeros between non-zero samples." If we pass

...love Gnome3 on Fedora. It took me about a week to adjust my mindset though -- I did that over a Xmas break. It did help that I read the release notes first (so I was not surprised at the major change) and went through the tutorial the developers provided. An interesting exercise re-examining and critiquing old workflows and exploring alternatives. It works really well on the smallish laptop that I use while commuting and which I plug into a couple of monitors when I get to work. Its great the way it frees up screen real estate and encourages me to focus on "what I am doing" rather than di...

I''m trying to create a directory structure from 2 arrays. First array is the "outter", second is the "inner". For each "outter", I''d like to loop through each "inner". Below is sort of what I''m trying to do. In the real world, the $sys_name and $mounts vars will be parsed from yaml and will be dynamic. In the example I''ve

Hi all - I've been working on a lite ORM and database abstraction package for R. Formatting complex queries by hand has always been an error-prone hassle, so I've tried to do away with that as much as possible, instead, using R objects to represent elements of a database system (statements, clauses, operators, functions, fields, tables, etc.). R5 classes have made the development of this

Hi all, I am trying to understand the effectiveness of various llvm optimisations when a language targets llvm (or C) as its backend. The following is my approach (please correct me if I did anything wrong): I am trying to explicitly control the optimisations passes in llvm. I disable optimisation in clang, but instead emit unoptimized llvm IR, and use opt to optimise that. These are what I

I think this is probably my first post to this mailing list, so hello! Occasionally I log in to my servers from IP addresses without reverse DNS configured, so sometimes I'll see an IP I don't recognise because I can't remember what I did the day before and get a bit spooked until I WHOIS the IP and find the netname reminds me I logged in from that IP. I set out prepared to script
