Scenario: Here I am working away in R. I've got results that prove global warming is anthropogenic and also the solution for producing limitless carbon-neutral energy from nuclear fusion. Its been a good day. So, I want to save my work. I don't want to overwrite my current .RData, so I save it to another file: save(file="prize.RData") # just need to email this to the Nobel

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yes, when it comes to local copies cp is significantly faster than rsync. Without --link-dest there isn't much advantage to using rsync for backups. The only thing you get beyond cp -au is --delete. Also, when it comes to static data like media files I like to keep an md5 file around with checksums for all the files. That way I can easily

Just chiming in slightly off topic. As a first step if you are going to be backing up files to some media with a computer it would be a really good idea to ensure, that the hardware being used is not faulty. I am not saying that your hardware is faulty. However, it would be worth checking this somehow. Check the drive media for bad blocks, check that all the cables are working well. Ensure the

Source versions would only have been available with a nondisclosure agreement, and relatively few copies would have been distributed in source. There was a small but valuable "beta test" network, mainly university

Here is a programming question. The code I am using is quite slow and I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of the for loop. I am dealing with "interaction" in 2x2 table, and am using Edwards's G_I (Likelihood, p. 194). I label the cells in the table as follows stim response "y" "n" total -------------------------------- y hit miss nsignal

I''m at the bloody forehead stage, so I figure it''s time to ask. After installing the robot coop''s memcache-client which everyone apparently recommends, it refuses to work because the rails cache.rb is invoking the read() method on the cache, which it _does not have_. Their library has get() and put() but no read() and write() as rails expects. What gives? Is

I don't think anyone denies that you *could* make an EXE to do all that. The discussion is on *how easy* it should be to create a single file that contains an initial "main" function plus a set of bundled code (potentially as a package) and which when run will install its package code (which is contained in itself, its not in a repo), install dependencies, and run the main()

I'm running WINE ver. 1.1.24 on Ubuntu 8.04. Wine had been running fine when Oblivion crashed and locked my mouse and keyboard up (I wish I had the debug for that but I haven't been able to recreate the crash). I rebooted my machine, reloaded Oblivion and the keyboard was non responsive, the mouse was working but not the keyboard. I checked Opera (I had some prior errors with the keyboard

Hi, I'm looking into LLVM, and I must say it looks supremely cool. However, I'm having a hard time getting anywhere with it, since I don't have a linux machine here, and cygwin seems like a bit of a second-class citizen. The instructions to build the cygwin binaries are outdated, so I have to just make some guesses as to what the right thing to do is, and I'm apparently not

I see some value in Duncan?s proposal to implement this as an extra package instead of a change to base R, if only to see if the idea has legs. I?m minded to do so myself using your suggestion, but is there a particular reason why you recommend using the remotes package instead of devtools? The latter seems to have the same functions I would need, and I believe it is more widely installed that

If you index a vector with a vector that has NA in it, you get NA back: > x=101:107 > x[c(NA,4,NA)] [1] NA 104 NA > x[c(4,NA)] [1] 104 NA All well and good. ?"[" says, under NAs in indexing: When extracting, a numerical, logical or character ?NA? index picks an unknown element and so returns ?NA? in the corresponding element of a logical, integer,

According to Wikipedia: "In 1980 the first version of S was distributed outside Bell Laboratories and in 1981 source versions were made available." but I've been unable to locate any version of S online. Does anyone have a copy, somewhere, rusting away on an old hard disk or slowly flaking off a tape? I've had a rummage round the CMU Statlib on archive.org but no sign of it,

A little while ago here we had a short discussion about Task Views - I think ignited by someone saying 'how many times do I have to say "have you read the Optimisation Task View?"?' and I poured some fuel on that fire by saying "Task Views" was a stupid name. Anyway, I did say that Task Views were rather brilliant, but were let down by their hidden position on the R

Dear all, in the coming Winter Semester, I will be a teaching assistant for a course in Survival Analysis. My job will be to do the lab sessions. The software used for these lab sessions will be R. Most of the students have a background in social sciences and the only stats package they used so far is most likely SPSS. So I assume they might be quite surprised the first time they see R
