arithmetic and logical operators
Why, in R, does (0.1 + 0.05) > 0.15 evaluate to True? What am I missing here? How can I ensure this (ostensibly incorrect) behavior doesn't introduce bugs into my code? Thanks for your time. Dave Mitchell [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

should vsftpd be disabled in favour of sftp for security reasons?
...f things i just want to clarify for the sake of future courses taught on centos.) from this RHEL doc page: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-openssh-server-config.html the reader is advised to, for the sake of security, remove/disable vsftpd, ostensibly in favour of sftp/sftp-server. really? i can obviously see disallowing stuff like telnet and rsh and rlogin, that's a no-brainer. but advising against vsftpd for the sake of security? i'm not sure i see the logic in that. thoughts? rday -- ========================================...

Matrix inversion-different answers from LAPACK and LINPACK
...a matrix, and I am finding that I can get different answers depending on whether I set LAPACK true or false using "qr". I had understood that LAPACK is, in general more robust and faster than LINPACK, so I am confused as to why I am getting what seems to be invalid answers. The matrix is ostensibly the Hessian for a function I am optimizing. I want to get the parameter correlations, so I need to invert the matrix. There are times where the standard "solve(X)" returns an error, but "solve(qr(X, LAPACK=TRUE))" returns values. However, there are times, where the latter return...

OT - Please don't feed the Troll(s)
Folks, I fully understand the emotional need to respond to one who throws around terms like "Communist", "Tyrannical", etc. even if ostensibly framed as a rhetorical question. Certain terms and phrases are by nature pejorative and I;m sure the OP knew this when he entered his post. My feeling was the OP is either an ignorant, unappreciative, self-centered, and emotionally immature person that expects all projects and activities to meet h...

[OT] Purchasing Rails beta book and CC Verification
Did anyone else who purchased the Rails betabook get a telephone call from someone at "Humboldt Merchants" (sp?) asking to verify their purchase, ostensibly to ensure there was no fraud (on the part of the merchant, not the person buying the book)? They knew my name, phone number, the title of the book I bought and the type of credit card I used. They didn''t give or ask for the credit card number, so it didn''t seem like a scam. Just...

[LLVMdev] Bug In Module::getConstantPointerRef ?
...> = {<No data fields>}, <No data fields>}}}} which is what causes the crash. The _Rb_tree::find call (stl_tree.h:1268) is executing a line of code like this: > _Link_type __x = _M_root(); // Current node. The _M_root() call is de-referencing the _M_header field. This could, ostensibly, be a bug in std::_Rb_tree template but it could also be a usage problem. Note that the GVRefMap (in Module.cpp) has no constructor and just uses the default. Presumably the default constructor of the std::map (member Map) is also called but that constructor doesn't do much (i.e. provide a val...

splitting a paragraph into words and spaces
I''m using this: <% words = article.content.split(/ /) %> <%= words[0..20] %> to (ostensibly) split a paragraph into component words, with spaces in between, then print to html only the first 20 items, words and spaces. I got this (split(/ /)) from the online pickaxe book at http://rubycentral.com/book/ref_c_string.html#String.split . The problem is, the resulting array seems to contai...

I am not connecting unrelated things. Noscript shows you the NAME (ostensibly the domain name from which it comes) of the javascript. Many websites and even internet providers push javascripts from other domains. But, feel free to allow it on all of your browsing.

grid packages since R-1.7.1
I'm having a spot of bother using code that worked with R-1.7.1 but will not work with 1.8.1. The beginning of the saga is with grid.polygon ostensibly not findable. One does exist in ..../R-1.8.1/library/grid/R, and when I specifically load the grid package (which probably isn't a good idea), it starts finding fault with the length of vectors being unequal. I suspect the lengths of the vectors has more to do with a scoping error. If I unde...

Wine, the GPL, and Lindows
Malcolm Scott <newsgroups1_m@lcolm.NOSPAM.org.uk> writes: > Sorry! I had assumed that, because it was free and for Linux, that it > was GPL :-( I'll be more careful in the future... Actually, most ostensibly "Linux" distributions contain *large* amounts of software that is under various licenses other than the GPL. University licenses especially, and particularly the BSD and MIT ones, are common. These days I imagine it may be theoretically possible to assemble a fully-operative distribution...

Host machine shuts down instead of rebooting
Hi all I recenty bought a dedicated server with the intention of configuring Xen on it. However, I''ve run into a _really_ strange issue: Whenever i reboot (run reboot or shutdown -r now) the physical host it shuts down (powers off) instead. The problems only seems to occur if I actually start a virtual machine. If I simply reboot the physical machine without starting xend or any

[LLVMdev] Can we establish layering for the LLD libraries? Current state is a bit of a mess...
...nks against the ReaderWriter library, which links against the Core library. This clearly cannot work. The same cycle exists with Core -> YAML -> ReaderWrite -> Core. The situation seems a bit worse for includes. If you start from LinkingContext.h I think this becomes quite clear. This is ostensibly part of the Core library, but it has methods that produce types from the ReaderWriter library. Combined with the fact that ReaderWriter depends on Core (not the other way around) and ReaderWriter/ELF subclasses LinkingContext, I can't make heads or tails of what was intended here. My vague gu...

multi-server rails deployment
I''m building an app in rails that will be deployed on 3 different servers but am not sure the best way to deploy it. The app is something like Google Adwords (an online advertising program, essentially). ServerA is the Administration server ServerB is the Ad server (feeds ad requests to affiliates) ServerC is the Click server (handles incoming clicks from our affiliate sites) All 3

Test if view renders appropriate partial?
Hello, I am testing out a partial that calls another, general purpose partial as part of its processing. Is there a class I can mock in Rails views to accomplish what I need? That is, could I do something like the following: SomeClass.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => "foo", :locals => { :bars => bars }) I tried breakpointing the view, and it looks like I am greeted

How to benchmark speed of load/readRDS correctly
Caching happens, both within the operating system and within the C standard library. Ostensibly the intent for those caches is to help performance, but you are right that different low-level caching algorithms can be a poor match for specific application level use cases such as copying files or parsing text syntax. However, the OS and even the specific file system drivers (e.g. ext4 on flash...
