Re: Compress items of size based on width and height [Modified] jkirkerx27-Sep-16 10:42 jkirkerx 27-Sep-16 10:42  I have no clue how to paste in my Linked In link, tried many times. I actually have that sample code above working better now. If your curious about the program .... This is the code packaged in a console app in VS2015 There is a class called sample data, that you can remove the remarks to load extra data In the main class, you can unmark data to load. It outputs packages in the console. In the real program, those packages will be submitted to UPS for a rate quote, and be packaged in the packages XML section and looped around for a single multi-package quote. The rules are long items will be shipped seperate Isolated items are items that will ship in the Original box, slap a sticker on them Common items are the rest of the stuff that will be tossed in a box If items trigger the Large Package Indicator, then start a new package to save the customer money. Ar last, see if we can further combine packages to keep the count down. Dropbox - RTST Rev 2016092701.zip[^] I'm not trying to get someone to do my work for me, I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around this. I use to just add up all the mass until a package is created, then cube the mass into a square. But that failed for long items from 6FT to 8Ft long. And it failed for isolated items as well. Thin items are tough, I was doing thin separate, but have now combined them into common. [edit] This is a clean copy of the program, in which I started again today. I put the thin items back in and will try to streamline the packaging, see Rev5 class comments. Dropbox - RTSR_Console 3.zip[^] modified 28-Sep-16 2:03am.

Re: Compress items of size based on width and height [Modified] jkirkerx28-Sep-16 6:36 jkirkerx 28-Sep-16 6:36  Thank you for looking at it. I'm working on it today with some new ideas. This is what I released today for production testing jkirkerx30-Sep-16 7:26 jkirkerx 30-Sep-16 7:26  After writing it about 12 times, I came up with this. Works pretty well, but could be better. Theirs a program called combine_virtual_packages_common that could use better refining. I was thinking, perhaps I should treat a batch of items like water. Take a box that is 24x17x14 and calculate the item line as water level, and fill the box, say 1 or 2 inches at a time.

I've downloaded the latest version of RTSR Console. As it turned out i can't install .net framework 4.6.1 on my laptop (win10). After that, i tried to find combine_virtual_packages_common function, but i've failed. I've found only combine_virtual_Common. Can you accept my invitation on LinkedIn? Then we'll be able to continue discussion in private. Cheers Maciej Re: This is what I released today for production testing jkirkerx4-Oct-16 9:30 jkirkerx 4-Oct-16 9:30  The later is the correct name combine_virtual _common Sorry about the .net issue, and yes I'm running Win 10 and VS2015 Yes I can accept the invite, just need to receive it first. Re: This is what I released today for production testing Maciej Los4-Oct-16 9:34 Maciej Los 4-Oct-16 9:34  Strange, In my LinkedIn profile i see: "Invitation pending".

XOR the first and second "lines"; then XOR that result with the 3rd; and so forth. Maybe not the "best", but "easy" to understand and implement; and you're only dealing with 81 "lines". Re: Join lines text file using binary difference muttleychess1-Sep-16 7:49 muttleychess 1-Sep-16 7:49  Thank You My Post was a trivial example , but can have somee restrictions Example: 3,5 and 6 can show only 2 times or 7 with 3 or 7 with 5 or 7 with 6 show only one time in file example 75444444444444 is possible 75344444444444 no is possible because 7 is together 5 and 3 35644444444444 no possible 3,5 and 6 35444444444444 is possible etc My problem is way to let smaller number of possible lines Re: Join lines text file using binary difference Gerry Schmitz1-Sep-16 8:43 Gerry Schmitz 1-Sep-16 8:43  If you need to "filter" your "list of lines" use LINQ.

I am performing a small academic research regarding distributed storage systems and some practical problems that are connected with this. One problem is fail-over and primary-backup replication algorithms. Some DSS use consensus algorithms to elect leader for replication like Raft and Paxos (Multi-Paxos). So my question is: How do these algorithms address replication issues in storage systems? What are advantages and disadvantages to use Paxos or Raft? E.g.: 1. Raft has following advantages: 2. Raft has following limits: 3. Paxos has following advantages: 4. Paxos has following limits: Can anyone point me on what basic pros and cons are for these two algorithms in using for storage systems? What is the practical usage of both of them in DSS? Thanks in advance, Nick.

Re: Consesus algorithms Raft and Paxos comparison question Member 1270735628-Aug-16 3:14 Member 12707356 28-Aug-16 3:14  Thank you Richard, I know these resources. But mostly information there is about internals of algorithms and how they work. By now I need to see a brief comparison of limits of each for the purpose of building a fault tolerant system using consensus. So maybe more simple question for people who already familiar with both protocols: what do like and dislike in each other? I need information not like "it's more complex" or "it's more popular" but better their limits in particular purpose (storage fault tolerance). Why one prefer Paxos or other likes Raft?

If that's the 'fixed' version, the other one probably killed dolphins, fairies and little babies. As suggested, rather than trying to hack it together using . characters for spacing, why dont you wrap it in <pre> </pre> blocks? (select it then hit the 'code' button) You could end up with something as legible as this (even with it's incorrect decision boxes): +-------+ | START | +-------+ |<--------+ +---v---+ | |X = X+1| | +---+---+ | YES | | +---v---+ | | X < 3?|-----+ +-------+ | | NO | v Failing that, upload an image to an image-hosting site and then post a link. That's the less preferred option, text is perfectly adequate.

Most modern languages don't provide gotos, you need to rethink the flowchart as a structured flowchart. First step: redraw your flowchart without the repeating in case of wrong pass.
