r - odd behavior of print within mapply -


i seeing unexpected behavior (to me anyway) when print() included side effect in function wrapped in mapply().

for example, works expected (and yes know it's not how add vectors):

mapply(function(i,j) i+j, i=1:3, j=4:6) # returns [1] 5 7 9

and this:

mapply(function(i,j) paste(i, "plus", j, "equals", i+j), i=1:3, j=4:6)  # returns [1] "1 plus 4 equals 5" "2 plus 5 equals 7" "3 plus 6 equals 9"

but doesn't:

mapply(function(i,j) print(paste(i, "plus", j, "equals", i+j)), i=1:3, j=4:6) # returns: # [1] "1 plus 4 equals 5" # [1] "2 plus 5 equals 7" # [1] "3 plus 6 equals 9" # [1] "1 plus 4 equals 5" "2 plus 5 equals 7" "3 plus 6 equals 9"

what's going on here? haven't used mapply() in while, maybe no-brainer... i'm using r version 3.4.0.

print both prints argument , returns value.

p <- print("abc") # [1] "abc" p # [2] "abc"

so each element gets printed, vector of stuff gets returned (and printed). try e.g. invisible(mapply(...)) or m <- mapply(...) comparison.

fwiw cat() returns null ...

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj...

What is happening when Matlab is starting a "parallel pool"? -

running parallel cpu processes in matlab starts command parpool() according documentation , function: [creates] special job on pool of workers, , [connects] matlab client parallel pool. this function takes bit of time execute, on order of 30 seconds. in other multi-cpu paradigms openmp, parallel execution seems totally transparent -- i've never noticed behavior analogous matlab (granted i'm not experienced parallel programming). so, happening between time parpool() called , when finishes executing? takes long? parallel computing toolbox enables run matlab code in parallel using several different paradigms (e.g. jobs , tasks, parfor , spmd , parfeval , batch processing), , run either locally (parallelised across cores in local machine) or remotely (parallelised across machines in cluster - either 1 own, or 1 in cloud). in of these cases, code run on matlab workers , copies of matlab without interactive desktop. if you're intending run on remo...
