I''ve got a fixed list of several thousand Things, and a User base that may grow to who knows how big (we can only hope ,right?) Users have and belong to many Things. I want to display a list of top Things, based on how many users each has. Things with 0 users are not displayed. Two questions. First, I expect the density of the relatioships to focus on a small percentage of the

Hello The excellent adapt package integrates over multi-dimensional hypercubes. I want to integrate over a multidimensional simplex. Has anyone implemented such a thing in R? I can transform an n-simplex to a hyperrectangle but the Jacobian is a rapidly-varying (and very lopsided) function and this is making adapt() slow. [ A \dfn{simplex} is an n-dimensional analogue of a triangle or tetrahedron. It is the convex hull of (n+1) points in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. My application is a variant of the Dirichlet distribution: With p~D(a), if length(p) = n+1 then th...

Hello, I've a CentOS-5 system (kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14el5) SMP arch running samba-3.0.27a. A user reported extremely long load time (11 minutes) of a 43MB file across a 3Mb/sec WAN link. Copying the same file to a windows server and opening it from there on the same client system took about 2:30. Research found the below thread from April:

...ice to somehow notice memory accesses and rely on explicitl notification instead. Separate device-written and driver-written data into different cache-lines or pages. 3) Use something other than virtio/virtqueues instead. As an aside, I noticed that the memory allocation for virtqueues is very lopsided; the driver always allocates the storage. This means that the device must perform PCI reads to transfer data from the driver to the device. PCI reads are typically slower than PCI writes since reads require a round-trip transfer, whereas writes can be posted. I wonder if any thought has been pu...

...rly evenly matched. The same rule applies in football, but turnovers are more common there. In baseball, on the other hand, scoring opportunities often arise in clumps due to the incremental nature of pushing baserunners around the bases (as well as more subtle factors like pitcher fatigue) so lopsidedly varying scores (often swinging back and forth even in a short series between the same teams) are quite common. All of this lies in the burgeoning field of sports statistics which now has its own ASA section, journal, etc. so I hope we won't get stuck on it here, unless somebody writes a...

I have a few questions on formatting wireframe plots: 1. How can I remove (or at least "white-out") the border on the plot? (I.e., the 2-d box around the whole plotting area, not the 3-d cube). I'm willing to hack the code if necessary. 2. Is it possible to suppress plotting of all sides of the cube except for the axes? 3. Is there a reliable way to print expressions in

Hi folks :-) situation: debian stable (samba version 2:3.2.5-4lenny9) from clients by ftp the transfer of huge file is about 10/11Mb/s (with an ethernet 10/100) by samba came 5/6Mb/s is it correct? In smb.conf I don't have any "strange"options: thanks Pol domain master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 65 workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = name Server String = name

..., I completely forgot about this... arrgh, have to post a retraction. Anyway, min-entropy, being simply the negative log of the highest probability, is always less than or equal to the Shannon entropy. It's equal for uniform distributions (all choices equally likely), but more conservative for lopsided distributions. Here's the classic teaching example: say you have a source, which produces 31 truly random bits (0..0x7fffffff) half the time, but produces -1 (0xffffffff) the other half of the time. (If this seems too trivial, assume it is encrypted with a one-time pad known only to the attac...

I was looking over some of my specs. I was thinking that the following: @game.should_receive(:name).and_return(''The Battle for Blaze'') @game.should_receive(:people).and_return(5000000) @game.should_receive(:activated).and_return(true) Would it look cleaner if I could do this instead? @game.should_recieve_and_return( :name => ''The Battle for Blaze''

...formation. So the DOJ is sticking with what they know and in all probability this sale is more like an upgrade of some existing sites to the latest version, rather than any massive new deployment. We'd love to see more vibrant competition in the office suite sphere, but it's a sign of how lopsided the market is when a 50,000 license sale is worthy of a press release from Corel. Microsoft probably sell that something like that many copies of Office each day and consider it to be pretty normal. ________ 5.
