ACLs and least surprise (was Samba vs. NetAppliance)

[LLVMdev] another SCEV surprise
When compile the following case and look at the SCEV analysis, I notice that the first two loops don't have a LoopInvariantBackedgeTakenCount (surprising) and the last one does (not surprising, except in the context of the first two examples). *void p4(int *A, int *B, long int n) {* * for (char i = 0; i < n; i++) {* * A[i + 2] = i;* * *B++ = A[i];* * }* *}* * * *void p5(int *A, int

Kickstart install surprise
I have to say that I was more that a bit surprised, if not to say dismayed when I booted a system with CentOS 5 installed to test a kickstart CD in interactive mode, took it to the custom partitioning screen, then rebooted without saving anything only to come up with a grub prompt, and the disk's partition table wiped. The ks.cfg file did say...

[LLVMdev] Should LLVM JIT default to lazy or non-lazy?
...39;s point): Either choice will surprise some users. Which surprise is worse? Personally, I'd always prefer correct but slow behavior by default, and explicitly enabling dangerous (but in some cases fast) behavior. I would also point out that it seems that most of the people new to the JIT are surprised by the current behavior, where as those who would be surprised by needing to enable lazy JIT are those long familiar with past behavior. In the OSS world, I always favor easing adoption over maintaining the status quo. My meager 2 cents. -Chandler On Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 9:41 AM, Jeffrey Yasskin...

My new server
I bought a very cheap server yesterday - an HP ProLiant micro server for 160 euro (280 euro with 120 cashback, for some reason). But I was surprised when I opened the box to find it didn't come with keyboard or mouse, and doesn't have the old keyboard/mouse sockets, but requires USB versions. Is that the norm nowadays? Is it possible to convert the old keyboard/mouse plugs? Also there is no CD drive. But there are extensive instruction...

Compared to a compiler in the same category as PCC, whose pinnacle of optimization is doing register allocation?

surprising difference in log()
Hello everybody My collegue and I noticed a strange behaviour of R on different platforms. It's a simple computation, but results are rather different. On Windows XP: > floor(log(8,2)) [1] 3 which is what one should expect. Here's instead the result with Mac OS X (same version, 2.5.0 (2007-04-23)) > floor(log(8,2)) [1] 2 Is it a "bug" in R or in the operating

[LLVMdev] Segfault calling LLVM libs from a clang-compiled executable

I wouldn't be surprised if something broke, but I would be surprised if it's exactly the same issue. It's crashing calling DIBuilder::createPointerType again? -Eli

Creating an environment with attributes in a package
Dear all, I am trying to create an environment object with additional attributes, viz. Foo <- structure(new.env(), name="Foo") Doing this in a standard session works fine: I get the environment with attr(,"name") set as expected. But if the same code appears inside a package source file, I get just the plain environment with no attributes set. Using a non-environment

I am surprised (and a little irritated)
I have started with using R on Windows, and I am really happy about the system. Now, one of my other ambitions is to learn how to use Linux, so yesterday I downloaded OpenSuse and installed that. The next problem was to try to use R with Linux. And there I met the wall. I've understood that RPM's are somewhat like installing programs on Windows, so that was downloaded and started

surprising behaviour of "bgroup": sets all in greek letters
Dear R user community I wanted to use "bgroup" for plotting a math formula with a big "{" on the left, and nothing on the right. i used text( 10, 10, pos=4, cex=1.8, expression(F(x) == bgroup("{", x, "")), ...) on a 40 x 20 plot. surprisingly, bgroup sets "Phi(xi) = { xi" i.e. replaces alphabetic characters with greek letters in the entire
