I sometimes buy myself a default value for a hash using something like this: h = Hash.new{|h,k| h[k] = ""}. I can now pass ''h'' any key and if a value has not yet been associated with that key I receive an empty string. I would love to do something similar in my partials so that I wouldn''t have to worry about passing in every variable that is referenced.

...like to increase the space between the bottom of the key and the trellis plots beyond the default. Is there a simple way to do this? At present, I add an empty row (e.g. text = '', point colored in background color) to the bottom of each key column. This seems a bit of a kludge. Is there a slicker way to do it, i.e. a parameter that I have missed?

...of info I need to ad to a DB to manualy add users to an app (eGW) and was wondering if anyone had a better way to find the differances in two states (pre/post change) of a database. Only thing I could come up with was to do a DB dump to a file before and after then run diff on them. Anyone have a slicker, better, faster, not a as gee-wiz there should be a better way to do this. Thanks, Gabe

assert_tag smells bad. Hpricot smells nice (apricotty!). Testing your views with Hpricot: http://www.lukeredpath.co.uk/index.php/2006/07/07/testing-your-rails- views-with-hpricot/ Big thanks to _why for a great little library! Feedback is appreciated. rSpec integration coming soon (hopefully!). Cheers, Luke Redpath contact@lukeredpath.co.uk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hi Guys, I''m reading about dashboard and foreman, and I''m wondering if there is anyone who made a comparison of the two? Can anyone help me decide which one to use? It feels like foreman is ''ahead'' for now? cheers, Walter Heck Engineer @ OlinData (http://olindata.com) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet

Well, something like this would work (there may be slicker solutions): > z <- data.frame(a=1:3,b = letters[1:3]) > i <- seq_len(nrow(z)) *2 > z <-rbind(z,z) > z[i, ] <- matrix(NA, nr=nrow(z),nc=ncol(z)) > z a b 1 1 a 2 NA <NA> 3 3 c 4 NA <NA> 5 2 b 6 NA <NA> But I agree with you that there is...

Hi folks. If I am indexing ModelA and ModelB and I want to search both of them, I usually just pick one arbitrarily and use it for #multi_search. Is there a slicker pattern, regarding from which model to invoke #multi_search? Can it be invoked directly from the Ferret library? Has anyone put together some sort of "dummy" search class? Thanks for any ideas. John

...at I couldn't boot via chainloading from the Vista x64 bootloader? Being able to chainload Extlinux (preferrably w/ext4 support of course ;) via the Vista x64 boatloader would be awesome, since I'd much rather use Extlinux. Also, it'd make the dual boot part of the Foresight setup much slicker. If this is already possible then I apologize for missing the memo. Btw, I should probably mention that this is my work laptop and that the reason I'm not using Extlinux in the MBR is that this breaks the assumptions of the tools Vista use to manage its boot settings, which makes it impossibl...

I am moving this to r-devel. The problem and solution below posted on r-help could have been a bit slicker if %*% worked with multidimensional arrays multiplying them so that if the first arg is a multidimensional array it is mulitplied along the last dimension (and first dimension for the second arg). Then one could have written: Tbar <- tarray %*% t(wt) / rep(wti, each = 9) which is a bit nicer t...

Hello! It seems, that Vista SP1 and Server 2008 cannot join an NT4/Samba-domain. Vista once could join before SP1, if one did some modifications to the system (LAN Manager authentication level, Encryption of secure channel). But these workarounds do not seem to work with SP1 anymore. Microsoft points out that joining NT4-domains with Vista SP1 and Server 2008 is not supported/tested

...nvolves building a big R object (the internal pixmap representation), and this chokes my somewhat puny laptop (e.g. it can take about 1 minute to draw the graphic inside a plot area using addlogo(), with mucho swappo, and subsequently working knee-deep in treacle). The following idea would be a lot slicker. For examples: I have something like a) A scatterplot of data printed in a journal (but the data values are not available; b) A contour map (on paper) of a region. So, I can scan the document, and obtain a file in some graphics format (jpeg, pbm or png, say). Now: an idea which I find attra...

Does any body have any thoughts on my approach of using mosaic for this sort of data? And if so, any insight on how I can be a bit slicker with my R code?

I noticed a shQuote fix for Windows in the svn logs. Just wanted to point out that this will favorably affect texi2dvi on Windows which previously used UNIX quoting and so generated an incorrect Windows command. (Note that texi2dvi is used when creating vignettes.) Another problem is that the recommended tex distribution for Windows, fptex, does not have texi2dvi in the first place. The

Hi All: Is a distribution of R version 2.3.1 (the current version) available for the Ubuntu Linux? If I want to build a .deb package for R-2.3.1 for Ubuntu, are there specific requirements that I should be aware of? Is a tutorial available? I searched the web, and the repositories, but oculd not locate an appropriate file. TIA, Arin Basu
