I have been working with R extensively for several months. I switched from SAS and Matlab to R. My question is Can anyone explain the benefits and detractions of the 'Date' package verses the 'date' package and verses 'POSIX' dates. I have noticed several other packages use one or the other. Rmetrics seems to standardize on POSIX. I can only see differences in

Hi, I'm making a multipanel lattice densityplot figure with 2 factors (3 and 20 classes in each factor) with the following statement (the type="percent" is there to prevent plotting the actual points which detract from the figure - is there another way of doing this?): densityplot(~End-Begin | Type * Chromosome, data=Mon, layout=c(5,12), xlab="Element

Hi all - Hope this isn't too OT - I've been playing with the file extention mapper VFS module for samba (http://file-ext-map.sourceforge.net/) to play flac files on my Audiotron. The above module takes any *.flac file and presents it as a *.wav to the client, and decodes on the fly when the file is read. It seems to work pretty well, but I often get the first second or so of a song

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi alls, i have to code a family of bar charts. After reading the doc, i cannot understand if it is possible to shade the bar colors and how. With shading i don't mean `density`. I mean something like that: http://www.advsofteng.com/images/colorcylinder_g.png Thanks and br - -- Federico -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6

Thank you Frederick for your comments: They are really well justified. > I think a "forum" or bulletin board system would be a detraction from the project and a distraction for the project leaders.

...from Darwin? Blasphemy! (3) The CMake open source community is too responsive! I file bugs and they fix them. This is unacceptable. Since they fix my bug reports I can't claim to my boss that I'm blocked on someone outside the company fixing something anymore. This is a really big problem detracting from my foam sword fighting practice time. (4) People expect it to work. With the autoconf build everyone kinda expected it to fall over in anything other than non-basic uses, and we were all ok with it. With CMake people expect things like 3-stage clang builds to just work out of the box. It is c...

When I first started using webservers I leased shared hosting. Then I moved to vps. Then to dedicated. In all that I was with various control panels. In almost all cases bugs in those control panels would cause all sorts of issues. (ensim, cpanel, plesk). The load on the server seemed greatly increased (especially with ensim). When I built my first server 4 years ago I decided to heck with

Bad choice of words I'm afraid. What I'm ultimately pushing for is a feature request. To allow string concatenation with '+' by default. Sure I can write my own string addition function (like the example I posted previously) but I use it so often that I end up putting it in every script I write. It is ultimately a matter of readability and syntactic sugar I guess. As an example, I

I don't object to compile time checking *as long as it doesn't severely detract from brevity*. At the same time, I do object to *preventing* runtime format strings. When we have C++14, we can make every member of StringRef constexpr, and at that point we will get compile time checking mostly "for free" without preventing runtime format strings. For example, given a

Dear R Developers, I am writing for doing the following suggestions: * Bugs: o Add in Bugzilla an Area in order to request membership for bug reporting, which shall itself include another area to introduce a little dissertation for justifying "Why someone would like to be a member of Bugzilla" for being able to report proper bugs, and avoid spam. o Now, new R serious

I am using a standard Centos 5.4 setup, with kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 and xen 3.1.2-164.11.1.el5. I have just succeed in migrating an existing XP to this setup and installed successfully gplpv 0.11.0.213. On an other 2003 VM, I am using 0.10.0.134 since several months without any problem. Looking at http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/, it seams there is a lot of version in that

I thought I did. :) Passing format strings between functions is very useful. For example, imagine wanting to write a function like printRange(const char *Fmt, std::vector<int> Items); This isn't possible if your format string MUST be a string literal and is very useful. Equally importantly, I don't see a good reason to disallow runtime format strings. On Wed, Oct 12, 2016 at

I'm not sure Bery (the author) is subscribed here; he's probably the best one to ask first.

I understand that some participants would prefer to keep their participation non-public, and so I do not expect the Group to have a home page at this time. In the absence of a web page, please can we list here the individual and organisational members who are *happy* for their membership to be known? This should not defocus from technical discussion, neither it is intended to detract from this

This is to announce that Martin Maechler has set up a new mailing list with the purpose of investigating the possibility to use Tcl/Tk with R. As you may know, Tcl is a scripting language and Tk is its GUI toolkit. In the context of R, the main attractions are - portability X/Win3.1/Win32/Mac - ease of implementation (people say...) - nice GUI model of Tk - possibility of making language

First off BackgroundRb rocks!!!!. Top marks Ezra, it''s gone a long way to stopping us from doing a nasty curl/cron hack :) Okay so here''s what we''re using it for. We''re synchronising data from a Filemaker database, via web service equest, into a mysql database via a rails model called ''Syncer'' [How''s that for an oddball use case!].

Hi, I've been sorting out a network boot strategy for a mixed network (NT/2K based server, booting linux clients). As I'm running (not by choice) Windows based servers, I have been trying to use Philippe Jounins excellent tftp server. Have you had any reports of problems with the latest version of his server (v2.51 tftpd32j.zip) ? I was getting an error about the server not supporting

So, in essence you're saying that the builders of the OS that you use and trust for daily tasks are unwise, right? Sounds to me like you might want to use something
