[docs] Updating the sphinx build bots
Hi,
Thanks for bringing this up. I am reluctant to update to recommonmark
>= 0.4.0, because it is not available in any Ubuntu version, Debian
Testing or even Debian Unstable.
While we could do something custom on the buildbot, I think it would
be a disservice for our users to use a library that is not packaged in
modern operating systems yet.

[LLVMdev] [cfe-dev] Does LLVM optimize recursive call?

I completely agree with John here - we had a case a few years ago where someone spent ages refactoring their algorithm to be iterative and was surprised that it became slower (with the MS compiler). Looking at the assembly, it was using push and pop instructions for the temporaries on the recurs...

Hello David Chisnall, John McCall, David Blaikie and other people who

This hit my head.
Actually I didn't test the performance of those two, the iteration and
the recursion, at all. And in this field of study, testing is very
much important, I believe.
And the '''tail call optimization'''. I will remember this also.
Thank you all.

login case sensitivity
...so
in databases which could be then corrupted. Problems could be
introduced also into the various logs. If, as is likely the case, you
are not the only sysadmin on the system(s), you would also be creating
problems for the other sysadmins, now and into the future. I think it
would also be a disservice to users, for case-insensitive userids is not
what they'll find on web sites and web services throughout the rest of
the world, even on their own phones. So I'd agree, in this instance you
should stay with the standard and explain to users that there ids are
case sensitive.

rpmforge references in the wiki
...eferences to be removed and replaced with something that is
trusted, epel for example.
I mentioned it to Christoph Galuschka and it was decided to bring this
matter up here.
Again, rpmforge is a dead project and any hope of it coming back is just
a pipedream. References to it as a resource are a disservice to wiki
users.

Do not buy "Asterisk for Small Office Setup"!
...fing through every page.
Summary - use the wiki, Luke. A Googol search of voip-info is faster and
provides much more complete, well written information.
Well, I said in my previous email that a fair price for this book is $14.95
not $40. I was wrong. This book does the entire Asterisk community a
disservice and should not be purchased at any price. Do not encourage/fund
the "author" to produce more such rip offs.

RPM .spec files in NUT source tree
...ric-rpm" (has a few macros
for RedHat 6.x and 7.x), Mandriva (circa NUT 2.0.2), openSUSE, and
RedHat (apparently from RawHide).
Since we do not have many developers who use the *.spec files
(although Arjen keeps the openSUSE directory up-to-date), I am not
sure if we are doing the packagers a disservice by shipping old
package descriptions. We try to keep the version numbers updated via
autoconf macros, but without testing, the list of drivers and man
pages can get stale.
Also, by having several different spec files in the release tarball,
we are probably breaking "rpmbuild -tb" (if mem...

Is R good for not-professional-statistician, un-mathematical clinical researchers?
...sticians--not just my own bias.
Could anyone suggest any such information? Or does anyone on this list use R who is
a clinician and not really mathematically savvy? For instance, someone who doesn't
remember any math beyond algebra and doesn't think in terms of P(A|B)?
Or have we done a disservice to our students by choosing to make them
learn R, rather than making ourselves learn SAS, Stata or SPSS?
Thank you for any ideas

Off Topic: Statistical "philosophy" rant
...t or support our flights of modeling fancy, they do; but in the
end, it is neither an objective process nor one whose "uncertainty" can be
strictly quantified. In creating the illusion that "statistical methods" can
overcome these limitations, I think we have both done science a disservice
and relegated ourselves to an isolated, fringe role in scientific inquiry.
Needless to say, opposing viewpoints to such iconclastic remarks are
cheerfully welcomed.

[LLVMdev] [RFC] OpenMP offload infrastructure
...More specifically
LLVM has a native AMD dGPU backend that is tightly coupled to the
compiler. Unlike other platforms which use things like PTX or other
byte-codes. Those platforms lose performance or have to work-around not
having hw level details. Assuming this is done correctly it would be a
disservice to emit SPIR instead of native codegen. (Imagine JAVA JIT vs
C performance)
This also keeps everything in the open..
In my experience - people don't use OpenMP because they want so-so
performance.. and with Exascale this will be increasingly important..

[LLVMdev] [cfe-dev] Does LLVM optimize recursive call?
...proportion of its time in call overhead. But
the general recursion-to-iteration transformation basically involves
emulating the call stack on the heap and often makes performance
worse, not better.
If your teachers are really making this sort of superficial generalization,
they're doing you a disservice.

...GCC requirement up to enable use of VC 2010-era features (like

I am strongly opposed to this. Currently, we have people that are relying
on our C++98 status. This isn't actually about VC2010 issues, this is about
GCC support. I think it would be a disservice to change that in 3.4, only a
small number of weeks away from the branch point. That seems like very
little notice.

How to connect many analog lines to Asterisk?
Hello!
If I have more than a hundred analog telephones (analog lines) that need

where can I buy it?
Thanks in advance!

[LLVMdev] Does LLVM optimize recursive call?
Hi David Blaikie and others who might be interested on this
Thank you very much!
#1. Then I'd like to know, to make Clang/LLVM optimize a recursion
into an iteration, how a recursion has to be implemented with any
compiler option? (if the language is C/C++)
Clang uses recursions, especially it uses recursive decent and
operator-precedence parser.
#2. I wonder if this kind of recursion is

Idea to possibly improve flac?
...urns up on dead projects,
instead of just stepping up or handing off in a competitive/proposal/worthy
yet time limited process, the authors emit some sort of lame 'Hey yeah,
new release coming' message in an attempt to maintain ownership, which
of course goes nowhere. It's really just a disservice to themselves and the
community. Sad indeed. Have people forgotten what opensource is all about?
There are plenty of people capable of doing these two. Certainly ripping. Fork I
say. I love these projects, and their authors. So not as an affront to prior
authors, but for betterment of the projects,...

Yes, good point. A more logical one would be to go for 3.5/3.6 for "VC2010" and "VC2012" feature adoption.
