What is the best way to handle lengthy operations with Rails (lengthy in this case could be a minute or even more)? I want to give response to the user about what is happening so I guess polling the server with ajax is one way to get data to the browser. But what do I do with the lengthy operation? I mean, the best as I see it would be to make the first request (the one that triggers the

Colleagues, Several days ago, I wrote to the list about a lengthy delay in startup of a a script. I will start with a brief summary of that email. I have a 10,000 line script of which the final 3000 lines constitute a function. The script contains time-markers (cat(date()) to that I can determine how fast it was read. When I invoke the script from the OS ("R --slave <

...the consumer decisions (Click-Through Rate and Conversion) in Search Engine Advertising using a hierarchical Bayesian binary logit. The input data is the weekly CTRs and Avg.

CTR is modeled as (for each keyword i and week j): Pij = exp(C + Bi x Positionij + A1 x Lengthi + A2 x Brandi + A3 x ProductSpecifici) / [1 + exp(C + Bi x Positionij + A1 x Lengthi + A2 x Brandi + A3 x ProductSpecifici)] The Position coefficient Bi is in turn allowed to vary along the population mean (B1) and the keyword characteristics as: Bi = B1 + K1 x Lengthi + K2 x Brandi + K3 x Prod...

Hi Last week I had a lengthy thread in which someone indicated the my SIL card is a FRAID (don't know if F stands for the F word or Fake, though it doesn't really matter). I want to replace the controller with a controller that Linux will see the RAID1 group as a single HD and not multiple HDs as it happens with the SIL controller. Recommendations anyone? -- TIA Paolo --------------

Yeah, this is a bit lengthy, but it's a vexing problem. First, I'm working on learning R, mainly by using it and coming more from a programming aspect (I have the books and have gone through them, but learn best by doing). I have multiple projects going where R is almost necessary. I learned C a few years ago, but am very rusty with it (and other languages back in the 70s). I also

Colleagues, I have a script that contains ~ 10,000 lines of code. Most of it is written as small functions. However, for various reasons, the final function is ~1500 lines of code. I realize that this may not be optimal but the code evolved that way and breaking it into smaller pieces is complicated because of the passing of arguments. I have "cat(date())" statements at

Hi everyone, Let me briefly describe my setup. I work at a small university and we are setting up 3 labs. 2 are filled with Ultra Sparc 5's, and the 3rd will be filled with PCs running NT4 workstation. We have an Enterprise Server 3500 running NIS+ to authenticate the Unix labs (or rather we will, once I get it working), and I'd like to set up Samba to authenticate the NT labs using

My organization has a policy against "installing software downloaded from the Internet." There is a waiver procedure, but it is difficult and lengthy. It is much easier to get approval to purchase software, even if it is a CD copy of open-source. However, a search on r-project.org didn't seem to show any way of obtaining the distribution in this way. Any clues would be

Hi, I run a lengthy for loop and I want to display loop status for each step in my loop.

As for nested loops, you want to carry out calcuations not depending on the inner loop only once and not for each iteration of the innermost loop.
