I was looking at Justin Gehtland''s blog. There are instructions on getting started with Streamlined, however gems returned an error that streamlined was not in the repository. I guess Justin is putting the preparations down ? Stuart

Hello, I want to specify a linear regression model in which the metric outcome is predicted by two factors and their interaction. glm() computes effects for each factor level and the levels of the interaction. In the case of singularities glm() displays "NA" for the corresponding coefficients. However, svyglm() aborts with an error message. Is there a possibility that svyglm()

FYI - Jim Weirich just released an rspec-compatible version of FlexMock. For those of you using trunk, you can now use either FlexMock, Mocha, or RSpec''s built-in mocking framework by saying: Spec::Runner.configure do |config| config.mock_with :flexmock # or :mocha or :rspec (default) end The choice is yours. Mock in peace. Cheers, David ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From:

I''m using Hieraki to do some documentation for RubyGems. So far I''m lovin'' it. But I have a question. I currently have three books on the site. It seems that the chapter numbers continue from one book to the next. For example, the first book has 7 chapters (numbered 1-7). The second book has three chapters, but they are numbered (8-10) rather than the (1-3) I

Hi Folks, We''re excited to announce that Dave Thomas and I will be teaching an Advanced Rails Studio: a hands-on, master-level workshop where you''ll learn the cutting-edge techniques used by the experts to build killer Rails apps with confidence and efficiency. We?re still finalizing exactly when and where we?ll hold this Studio. But if you?re seriously interested in

I''ve uploaded the B1.12 version of AWDwR. The major changes include: - Justin Gehtland''s new chapter on Web 2.0 - James Duncan Davisdon''s chapter on deployment (this is an interesting one---JDD has strong opinions on how a Rails application should be deployed, and the chapter mirrors this. You''ll find it short and easy to follow). - I changed the

I have a new version of Rake that I''m (almost) ready to release. But before I make an official release, I would like some Rails folk to give it it try ... Why? Because it contains a workaround for the notorious Ruby 1.8.2 test/unit bug. Using this version of rails, it should be possible to unit test a rails app without patching the Ruby 1.8.2 test/unit library. Where to get it?

The following code snippet allows you to update multiple DOM elements in a single Ajax call in Rails (1.1): # pass in a hash of domid=>template name def update_many(options) render :update do |page| options.each do |k,v| page.replace_html k, render(:partial=>v) page.visual_effect :highlight, k end end end So, if you wanted to update the

I understand that the capture/playback signals need to be sync'd for an AEC to adapt. I'm a little bit confused on the requirements of synchronous sampling between the near end (mic/speaker) and the far end (phone line). I have an embedded DSP system with mic and speaker getting 1msec packets containing 8 samples. We can watch the DSP and ISDN clock frames drift and every few minutes we

Hi, I have two data sets; one is a population and the other a sample of that population. I am trying to plot both on the same trellis display. # Example data set with two numerical attributes and two categorical pop <- data.frame(var1=rnorm(2000, 2000, 500), var2=rnorm(2000, 2000, 500)) cat<-(runif(2000)<=.5)+0 for(i in 1:length(cat)){ if(cat[i] == 0){ pop[i,"cat1"] =

Hey everyone, I just wanted to drop onto the list and say hi. My name is Chad Humphries and I am a partner at a ruby and rails shop in Columbus, OH called EdgeCase. Up until two months ago we were doing all of our dev work in test:unit. I had read about RSpec before and after hearing Jim Weirich speak at the Columbus Ruby Brigade about similar ideas I decided to give it a go for a

Our Mephisto install kills Mongrels and causes Apache to pound the CPU. This started when we moved to Apache+mod_proxy_balancer+Mongrel. Here''s what we know: The following things are working OK, except when used in the combination listed above: mongrel, mongrel_rails, MySQL, Apache, mod_proxy_balancer. We believe these are all OK because we moved five other Rails apps to this

I''m using Jim Weirich''s Builder library. The code I want to spec is xml.video do xml.id @video_id xml.views @views xml.date(@date.to_s) if @date end I''d like to mock it, rather than asserting that the XML is the right string. I can do one spec: specify "should create a video tag" do @mock_builder.should_receive(:video)

The EuroLLVM'18 Developers’ Meeting relies on volunteers to keep things running smoothly. Moderators are critical to this as they keep speakers on track and facilitate Q&A after the talk. I’m looking for community members who would be attending specific talks anyway, to volunteer to moderate the sessions. If you are interested in volunteering, *please respond to this email with your first

I'm can do the Lighting Talks [session 9] (I did one in the fall so I know the pain) or the following session 10 By the way, the online schedule at https://2018eurollvm.sched.com doesn't include the lighting talks.  There is just a "round table" entry with no speaker or abstract information. > Message: 3 > Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2018 11:34:32 +0200 > From: Arnaud Allard de

How would you spec a DSL which descends from Jim Weirich''s Blank Slate? I''m asking this question because I have written a DSL, and would like to have the DSL class descend from BlankSlate so that methods like == are not available in the DSL itself (in production), but only while Testing. Does any one have any insight on this? I can provide code samples if anyone would
