This maybe a silly question and the fact that I need a sanity check might even be weirder, but I''m trying to set realistic expectations for myself. I''ve been reading reading reading AWDWR, Ruby on Rails, some of the PickAxe, and even done a few recipes from Rails Recipes. This is all of two weeks. I feel that I''ve learned a considerable amount but going through the

Can anyone help me with doing searches using thesaurus. I really want to do searches that are simple that I make up. For example, a search on "TV" will bring back results that include "Television" and vice versa. Any help appreciated. Clare -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

Hi, I have a testing multihome setup, with the default gateway being one of the links and using policy routing to honor requests for a specific link. Everything works as expected when I request a specific IP to bind to. But if I request a specific interface things fall apart in ways that I can not explain: default gw (WORKS) ---------- rabbit@Thesaurus:~$ ping -c 1 yahoo.com PING yahoo.com

Ok, here's another best practices question - let's say I'm writing a package and I want to use a function name that is already claimed by a function in the base R packages. For the sake of argument, let's pretend this function is for profiling the performance of a function (like Rprof for example), and so an obvious name that comes to mind is profile. This, of course, clashes

Hi I am the newbie to both Django as well as ROR.... Which one i have to choose as my carrier one.... And what is the main difference....

Hi all, This could be naivety/stupidity on my part rather than a problem with model output, but here goes.... I have fitted a fairly simple model m1<-glm(count~siteall+yrs+yrs:district,family=quasipoisson,weights=weight,data=m[x[[i]],]) I want to know if yrs (a continuous variable) has a significant unique effect in the model, so I fit a simplified model with the main effect ommitted...

Hi all: Using the example below, is there a way to add Y axis titles to each graphic instead of sharing the same title? library(ggplot2) RT = matrix(c(814, 500, 424, 394, 967, 574, 472, 446),4,2) colnames(RT) = c('repetition','alternation') rownames(RT) = c('7-yrs','11-yrs','15-yrs','21-yrs') rt <- melt(RT) names(rt) <- c("age",

Dear R users, When I run the following code, R crashes: require(cclust) x <- matrix(c(0,0,0,1.5,1,-1), ncol=2, byrow=TRUE) cclust(x, centers=x[2:3,], dist="manhattan", method="kmeans") While this works: cclust(x, centers=x[2:3,], dist="euclidean", method="kmeans") I'm posting this here because I am not sure if it is a bug. I've been searching

Hello I have been using LAMP for the last 6 years and i am now finally making the choice to move over to RoR. This MVC stuff is all very new to me. As i have no trouble understanding ruby code... or any code for that matter.. my challange comes in getting my head around the MVC stuff. Is there any demos articles that you guys have seen that takes a site or a business breif and explains where

Dear R experts Sorry for posting: I have text file that I need to read into R (this is out from different program). A portion of data look like: ;example data 1_1 ch1 0.0 HAAAHHAAAHHAAAAAHHAHHAHAHHHAAHHAHAAAAHAAAHHAHHAAHAHHAAAAHAAAHHHAAAHHAHHHAAAHHHHAHHAAHAAAAHAHHHHHAAAHAHHAHHHHAHHHHHHHHHAAHAAHHHAHAAAAAHHHHHHAHHHHHAHHHH 1_2 ch1 0.1

Estimados, tengo el siguiente problema: Tengo que graficar la concentracion de un metabolito en algunas muestras contra la concentracion del solvente con que fue extraido. Las concentraciones varian desde cero (para un control) hasta varios miles de unidades de concentracion (miliMolar). Para que se puedan diferenciar los puntos en el eje X, se ha usado una escala logaritmica. Hasta ahi todo

Hi, As we are moving away from an NT based enviroment to SAMBA we are looking for a managed virus scanner for our desktops. Managed means: 1. Remote deployment 2. Updates from a local repository 3. Notification and reporting. The existing solutions (Symantec, TrendMicro, Mcafee) assume that you have an NT server. I would much rather have a Linux/Samba based managment console. Any ideas/leads?

Hello Martin Maechler and All, A simple question (I hope): How can I compute the "sum of the dissimilarities" that appears in the pam command (from the cluster package) ? Is it the "manhattan" distance (such as the one implemented by "dist") ? I am asking since I am running clustering on a dataset. I found 7 medoids with the pam command, and from it I have the

Hi, I posted this question yesterday on the Openvpn mailing list, with no response, figured I will ask here too. I have been using openvpn for quite a while, no major problems encountered. Now I need to allow the server to access the lan of the client, and I can not figure out the routing. This is what I have after the tunnel is brought up: SERVER (A.A.A.A) Arx:~# ip addr ... 3: eth1:

I am using a Solaris + ZFS environment to export a iSCSI block layer device and use the snapshot facility to take a snapshot of the ZFS volume. Is there an existing Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) implementation on Windows for this environment? Thanks S Joshi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Dear All, I'm dealing with a case, where 'manhattan' distance of each of 100 vectors is calculated from 10000 other vectors. For achieving this, following 4 scenarios are tested: 1) scenario 1: > x<-read.table("query.vec") > v<-read.table("query.vec2") > d<-matrix(nrow=nrow(v),ncol=nrow(x)) > for (i in 1:nrow(v)){ + d[i,]<-

Hi folks! I''m about five weeks into Rails; this is my first question after lurking for a little while. I''m writing an app to help a printer verify that the information on magazine covers is correct; this verification happens across several organizations, and for several magazine titles. When a particular cover is "stalled" in one status for two long, the app

Hello all. I wish to run k-means with "manhattan" distance. Since this is not supported by the function "kmeans", I turned to the "pam" function in the "fpc" package. Yet, when I tried to have the algorithm run with different starting points, I found that pam ignores and keep on starting the algorithm from the same starting-points (medoids). For my

This is so frustrating. Is RoR that easy to learn or is it hype or is it just me? I wonder how many newbies like me are surfing the docs trying to get a clue of the basics. Every tutorial I find is much the same, and seems to skip the fundmental parts. How should you understand the Ruby API http://api.rubyonrails.org/? What is < ActionController::Base? Can''t I set a cookie under
