similar to: Best way to perform lengthy operations?

Colleagues, Several days ago, I wrote to the list about a lengthy delay in startup of a a script. I will start with a brief summary of that email. I have a 10,000 line script of which the final 3000 lines constitute a function. The script contains time-markers (cat(date()) to that I can determine how fast it was read. When I invoke the script from the OS ("R --slave <

Yeah, this is a bit lengthy, but it's a vexing problem. First, I'm working on learning R, mainly by using it and coming more from a programming aspect (I have the books and have gone through them, but learn best by doing). I have multiple projects going where R is almost necessary. I learned C a few years ago, but am very rusty with it (and other languages back in the 70s). I also

This is a continuation from a previous posting of mine: The following algorithm below is what I want to accomplish: Z(xk) = Average(Yi, i belongs to Ik), where Ik contains all i such that for each j, |Xi,j - xkj?? 2. Here, j = 1, 2 and i corresponds to the elements in each X and/or xk >data x1 x2 y 1 1 2 2 2 6 3 3 12 Now, consider a second data frame or matrix (xk):

Hi all, I have created a linear mixed-effects model using lmer. My dependent variable is comp.score and my main independent variable is delay.type, a repeated-measures within-subject variable (2 levels: Synch and Asynch, order counter-balanced across participants). I had a series of covariates that were included in the initial model and used a step-wise process to produce the most parsimonious

Colleagues, I have a script that contains ~ 10,000 lines of code. Most of it is written as small functions. However, for various reasons, the final function is ~1500 lines of code. I realize that this may not be optimal but the code evolved that way and breaking it into smaller pieces is complicated because of the passing of arguments. I have "cat(date())" statements at

Hi everyone, Let me briefly describe my setup. I work at a small university and we are setting up 3 labs. 2 are filled with Ultra Sparc 5's, and the 3rd will be filled with PCs running NT4 workstation. We have an Enterprise Server 3500 running NIS+ to authenticate the Unix labs (or rather we will, once I get it working), and I'd like to set up Samba to authenticate the NT labs using

I''m building a new index from scratch based on a number of documents stored in a database loaded using my Rails env (using Ruby Ferret 0.9x (installed today with Gem) on Windows). At first everything goes nice but after a number of documents it starts to go slower and slower until it grinds to a halt (at least feels like it). Am I doing something wrong? Is there some way to work

I have some files stored in db. When I try to download these I only get 65535 bytes from the database even if the file is a lot bigger. Is it a Rails setting I''ve missed or a database setting? Anything else? Using Rails 1.0, WinXP and MySQL4.1 /Marcus

Dear all, we''re currently looking forward to restructure our hardware environment for our datawarehousing product/suite/solution/whatever. We''re currently running the database side on various SF V440''s attached via dual FC to our SAN backend (EMC DMX3) with UFS. The storage system is (obviously in a SAN) shared between many systems. Performance is mediocre in terms

I have a STI class tree. I want to set some default values (calculated values so I can''t set it in the database as defaults) on every created instance regardless of what subclass is actually instantiated. So I figured adding a after_create callback in the top class in the hierarchy should do the trick. It seems it doesn''t get called :( Code: class SuperClass <

I was hoping that we could use QMP (now semi-stable since qemu 0.14) to hot plug disks. Unfortunately this is not yet possible. There is no drive_add QMP command which would be necessary for adding drives. We (Red Hat) hacked in a drive_add command into RHEL 6 (only for use by libvirt). This doesn't help us with upstream or Fedora. We could still use the human monitor, but obviously this

Checking for poll(POLLIN) only wakes us up when the server sends more bytes over the wire. But the way gnutls is implemented, it reads as many non-blocking bytes as possible from the wire before then parsing where the encoded message boundaries lie within those bytes. As a result, we may already have the server's next reply in memory without needing to block on the server sending yet more

Hello all, To the CentOS developers, beta testers, and all who were involved in a small or major way in the release of CentOS 5.4...thank you. Ignoring the peer pressure, even though it was out a little later than you (and many of us) wanted, you got it RIGHT. *That* is what was important. I yum updated from 5.3 to 5.4 with NO issues that I can speak of right now. Thanks to you fine folks,

Hi Chris, I've CC'd Eric Botcazou in the hope that he will clear up just what the Ada front-end needs from the rest of the compiler as far as asynchronous exceptions are concerned. >> gcc Ada turns signals into exceptions.

I was wondering if the disk I/O in OpenSSH is synchronous or asynchronous. If its not asynchronous is there any reason why doing at least asynch writes would be a bad idea? I'm just wondering if I'm over looking some obvious problem. Thanks for the clue Chris
