[julia-users] Absolute value of big(-0.0)

2014-11-10 Thread Samuel S. Watson
I'm getting (notice the negative sign): abs(big(-0.0)) = -0e+00 with 256 bits of precision I think it would be better to have abs(big(-0.0)) return 0e+00 (for example, abs(-0.0) returns 0.0). Perhaps this could be fixed with an abs(::BigFloat) method. It seems that the problem is that abs(x::Re

For the record, I tried Mauro's suggestion, and it worked but it wasn't the right thing to do. And the step where I'm stuck is Pkg.publish(), not Pkg.register(). That's the one that the documentation says often breaks, and it also doesn't take any arguments, which makes me think it's going to p

[julia-users] Adding Julia package to METADATA.jl

2014-09-04 Thread Samuel S. Watson
I have a package I put on GitHub that I'd like to request be added to METADATA.jl. My understanding is that I'm supposed to fork JuliaLang/METADATA.jl, add my package, and then submit a pull request. My problem is with the add-my-package step. When I try to push from my package directory, it cr

[julia-users] DataFrames missing functions?

2014-02-18 Thread Samuel S. Watson
I'm running Julia on OS X Mavericks 10.9.1, and my DataFrames package (version 0.4.2) seems to be missing several basic functions, including dropna and array, which are mentioned in the DataFrames documentation. When I run *using DataArrays, DataFrames* *dv = @data([NA, 3, 2, 5, 4])* *dropna
