...es told me that he still wants to run ox because [a] his code is written in it (good reason); [b] because ox seems to be faster than R in most benchmarks (huh?). this got me to wonder. language speed can't matter much, so it must be mostly the underlying matrix algebra by now. I presume that nowadays most of the plain matrix operation speed depends primarily on which hardware features the library accesses. (The basic algorithms aren't so different, so even though the algorithm may have mattered a long time ago, they are probably pretty similar nowadays. hmmm...maybe matrix inversion still...

Regarding the topic of the thread I think they're not that different from each other nowadays. I've been using an ATi graphics card for over a year and it's running pretty well. NVIDIA graphics cards are better. But AMD graphics cards nowadays aren't as bad as they sound. They're nearly equal.

Could it be possible nowadays (understand: with the newest kernels and tools) to mount the root filesystem of a Linux client over CiFS? Just like what is already possible for a long time with NFS. The server would be Samba, not Windows. Just wondering... -- J?r?me Warnier FLOSS Consultant http://beeznest.net

...bind carefully, you may have learned that rbind() and cbind() are able to deal with S4 "matrix-like" objects, via the hidden methods:::rbind / methods:::cbind functions where these recursively build on appropriate S4 methods for rbind2() / cbind2(). That is how cbind() and rbind() work nowadays for Matrix-package matrices. However, there is problem lurking from the above paragraph, and for experienced programmers / computer scientists that may even be obvious: recursion. A simple MRE (minimal reproducible example) for the problem seen with Matrix: S <- sparseMatrix(i=1:4, j=9:6, x...

...#39;'m totally lost choosing basic budget server for XEN. The variants are Sun (X2200 M2 or Sun X2250 M2) or maybe HP Proliant DL160 G5p. Or maybe some IBM server? Which X2200 configuration will perform better, two Opteron dual-core 22xx or single quad-core 23xx? Which one performing better nowadays, Opteron or Xeon? I know that 2-3 years ago Opteron was the better choice for virtualization, what about now? Is Xeon 54xx better than Opteron 23xx ? Thanks in advance! _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource...

Thanks in advance. Nowadays I just calculate the bandwidth h of cross validation in kernel smoothing using R language. And I just looked up the usage of function, which is lscv(x,......, exact=FALSE) My question is what does "........" stand for and mean? do you mind specifically explaining it for me? Thanks...

...glamor is just not hooked up properly in the nouveau DDX. Mainly it's missing DRI2, which in turn means no core GL contexts, and probably lots of other issues. While this could probably be fixed somehow, I doubt there's any advantage to using the nouveau DDX over something like modesetting nowadays. How would you feel about dropping glamor support from the nouveau ddx and failing to load for GPUs that don't have EXA support (unless AccelMode = none is forced for them). That way it'll fall back to loading modesetting which should be properly set up for DRI2 and so on. Cheers, -ili...

Dear R-devel, The most popular piping operator sits in the package `magrittr` and is used by a huge amount of users, and imported /reexported by more and more packages too. Many workflows don't even make much sense without pipes nowadays, so the examples in the doc will use pipes, as do the README, vignettes etc. I believe base R could have a piping operator so packages can use a pipe in their code or doc and stay dependency free. I don't suggest an operator based on complex heuristics, instead I suggest a very simple and fast...

Hi all If I use nfsroot boot the xen dom0, I find it works well if not use initrd-2.6.32.9.img. what does "initrd-2.6.32.9.img" contains?

Dear developers, The ProxyJump feature is nowadays implemented on the basis of a TCP port forwarding on the jumping host, isn't it? As a result, this is affected by a AllowTcpForwarding=no configuration on the jumping host. So, may I suggest a variant based on Unix sockets (such as -L or -R does). Nice idea, isn't it? Any volunteer to imp...

...hared with samba and sometimes the client and server enter in a loop where the client try to obtain a lock to a file and the server respond with "STATUS_LOCK_NOT_GRANTED". This situation can last until one of them crash. I think in the past lock spin count prevent this from happening. In nowadays samba version is there an option that replaces old lock spin count? Thanks

Hi, Nowadays, the design of an application is nearly as important as its functionality. But - most good programmers are not automatically skilled designers. Especially when it comes to the creation of fancy icons or small illustrations. So, where do you find good and affordable designers and illustrators fo...

Hi, So the 'modules.pcimap' file, needed by Hardware Detection Tool to display kernel modules, is now missing. pciutils/kmod deprecated usage of this file adn depmod lost its -m option. So here are may questions: 1- How to generate a "modules.pcimap" or an equivalent file nowadays? 2- Is it still needed by HDT ? 3- What if it is missing, is HDT semi-broken? Thanks. appzer0

...itself. The problem is that the lab is isolated from the internet. Some versions of ubuntu ago I had success with apt-mirror and apt-get for the OS, but now I cannot get it to work. In my search for help on the internet I have come to the conclusion that there is something wrong with apt-mirror nowadays. Question: What is the best and simplest way to keep the ubuntu machines up-to-date regarding OS and R with the apt/apt-get approach? Alternatives to apt-mirror? Thanks, G?ran

...module ) ? > It depends on your environment. If there are still analog devices in addition to VoIP, I'd say always, but Asterisk has a rudimentary echo canceller already on board. The Telcos use echo cancellers themselves, but it cannot hurt to have a hardware canceller on your BRI card. Nowadays I see more problems with reverberation in connection with cheap speakerphones or simple mics and speakers on PCs, but that's a different story. jh

Is 'net use x: /home' deprecated nowadays? I just upgraded a very old Samba 2 to 3.2.8 and suddenly no workstations at all can use that command to map to their home directories. Workstations are W2k, Win XP and Vista in a mix. Neither work. Samba use LDAP as back end, and the related posts in smb.conf are these: logon path = \\%L\profile...

/etc/dovecot/virtual/Inbox2/dovecot-virtual * -Trash -Trash/* -Deleted* -Junk* inthread x-references2 x-mailbox INBOX Using php to connect o {host}virtual/Inbox2 gives me [SERVERBUG] BUG: Unknown internal error. If I connect to virtual/Allmail which has "all" instead of the inthread line it works.

Does Dovecot support public folders? I thought it may do via namespaces, but having searched the Wiki and the documentation, I can't find how namespaces are defined. I've probably not looked in the right place - any pointers? Thanks, Keith
