I realized earlier this year (2007) that it was in 1987 that I first started using an early version of S (it was ported to VMS and was called success). That means that I have been using some variant of S (to various degrees) for over 20 years now (I don't feel that old). Since things are a bit slow this time of year I thought I would take a few minutes and reminisce on some of the changes

I believe I have the exact answer to "Centos 6 Server has no GUI" but I don't see how to attach my answer to that thread. I am running in Virtual Box on a Windows machine. When I changed my memory available from ? Gb to 1 Gb , and my video memory to 24Mb, my installation script went from an interface reminiscent of MS-DOS in the 80's to a nice GUI installation, and my number of

I know that at the end of an R session I'm given the option to save the current *state* of the session. But I would like to save the entire sequence of inputs that took place during the session, so that I can play them back later, and not only be left in the same state I was at the time of saving the session, but be able to see the entire history of the session (inputs and outputs). (This is

Reading about systemd, it seems it is not well liked and reminiscent of Microsoft's "put everything into the Windows Registry" (Win 95 onwards). Is there a practical alternative to omnipresent, or invasive, systemd ? -- Regards, Paul. England, EU. Centos, Exim, Apache, Libre Office. Linux is the future. Micro$oft is the past.

Dear R-help, After making a typo (reminiscent of FORTRAN 77, I guess) I found the following: > identical(all.equal(2^(-10:10), 2**(-10:10)), TRUE) [1] TRUE I have tried to find the documentation about the ** operator but I was unsuccesful this way: > sessionInfo() Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) powerpc-apple-darwin8.6.0 attached base packages: [1] "methods" "stats"

(gah, this turned into a huge digression, sorry) The implicit numbering of BB's seems to be a pretty frequent issue for people. Surprisingly, the issue boils down to simply changing the IR asm (.ll file) syntax so that it can have "unnamed BB's" in a recognizable way that fits in with how unnamed values work (the asmprinter makes an effort to print a comment with the BB number,

I am having trouble getting smooth-appearing curves in figures produced as windows metafiles using R (R-1.1.1 on Windows 98). When I import them into a word processor (either MS Word 97, or WordPerfect 9.0), the figures appear only slightly bumpy on screen, but when printed, there is a clear jaggedness reminiscent of aliasing. Is there a fix for this (if the answer is "upgrade to 1.2",

Hello. As the subject of my email states, I've noticed that oggenc never encodes the same twice. i.e., encoding the same file twice, using the same settings and same OS, never results in identical files (checked using 'diff'). I know that a randomly generated serial number is put it, but it gets better: a diff (- a -u0) between these two encodings is ~120KiB. Umm... why?

Thanks for the lecture :) But I was not planning on changing a single line in LLVM/Clang. I stick to the documentation until I've learned to swim, perhaps even forever. Ah, now I see. You thought I meant "should I modify the code to do this or that." I only meant to change the documentation. Please refer to the patch I've sent on LLVM-commits. That's about what I had

The language reference states that local temporaries begin with index 0, but if I try that on my not-entirely-up-to-date v3.4 llc (it is like a week old), I get an error "instruction expected to be numbered '%1'". Also, quite a few examples in the LR uses %0 as a local identifier. Should I fix those or is it a problem in llc? -- Mikael -------------- next part --------------

Great, thanks! Also just for context, this sounded reminiscent of one of the first NUT drivers, `genericups` (for simple contact-closure support, with IIRC serial-port connections rather than GPIO). Nearby there's also a `generic_modbus" name. Wondering if the new driver should be (similar to) `generic_gpio`. @Community verdict: Then there was also an effort some years ago to name

Dear R-SIG-Debian, I am using R version 3.1.2 with rstudio-server 0.98.113 on debian build 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.68-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux. I often use the %dopar% operator in from the foreach package to run code in parallel. However, the only other use on the box seemingly installed a few items and suddenly %dopar% will use far more than the number of cores I am specifying and

Hi all, Below is a URL for an editorial published today in our local newspaper, the Minneapolis StarTribune. It was originally published in the Washington Post a couple of days ago: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/29/AR2005082901444.html but that site requires registration. The 'Strib" site seems to be open for the moment:

Dear R community, I find R fantastic and use R whenever I can for my data analytic needs. Certain data sets, however, are so large that other tools seem to be needed to pre-process data such that it can be brought into R for further analysis. Questions I have for the many expert contributors on this list are: 1. How do others handle situations of large data sets (gigabytes, terabytes)

Without ANY intent of offending anybody, I simply don't like C++. I did code in it for some 12 years back from 1990 to 2002, but then I left it behind with a feeling of happiness. The main reason I am _trying_ to make a new language is that I hope to one day come up with something that can help retiring C++. I love C# but that language is yet too slow for many demanding problem domains.

Oh well, that didn't reveal much! The pointer is not anything crazy, and in fact its value is one that didn't crash before. I was hoping maybe for something obviously weird. - Walter On Thu, 28 Oct 2004, Mark Knecht wrote: > On Thu, 28 Oct 2004 18:08:14 -0700 (PDT), Walt Ogburn > <reuben@ugcs.caltech.edu> wrote: > > Hi Mark, > > > > This is strangely
