Re: Upgrading PostgreSQL 9.2 to 9.3 with Homebrew

So helpful, pg_upgrade can be a bit scary. Would stink to destroy all my development databases just for a minor upgrade. Thanks!

It doesn't do anything. It's just a landing page.

As of right now, the latest version on github is 0.2.2, this causes mix to be slightly unhappy. Just change the version in the deps section of mix.exs.

It may be important for the reader to go out and discover the differences between multi-process and multi-thread in Ruby as an addendum to this article. There are significant differences, e.g., memory usage, between the two. I think this is wisely left as an exercise for the reader, though an important one.

Wonderful article, as always, Aaron. Thank you.

Re: Resort - positionless sorting for your Rails 3 models - Codegram

How well does this work (if at all) with pagination plugins like will_paginate? I think, as with all things in Rails, the draw of the position field is KISS, which I don't always agree with but may be important to remember.

Overall, clever approach and I will definitely give it a whirl!

I assume that similar improvements were brought to screen sharing, but I have not found anything definitive on the matter. Good point, though.

Very nice. We've used something similar at Viget. Unfortunately, not everyone knows vi or emacs at the same level as Textmate. However, that is a whole other can-of-worms. I'm glad to see others making use of screen in the same way.

Hey Patrick, sorry to hear that you found Garb to be too complex. I was hoping the examples in the wiki would explain it well. Here's a gist that does what your example does using Garb: http://gist.github.com/198692 The benefit is that you get instance of Report back, so you can just call "daydata.pageviews" or "monthdata.pageviews".

I was just looking at a job post for Reductive. Very interesting then that you should post this. It all sounds very exciting. Many congrats.

@Rob

Is MongoDB starting with the script? That parameter should pass the filename to start-stop-daemon to use for the pid. The rest should be handled by it.

Fantastic work! Even more incentive to start using MongoDB where it's needed. Thank you!

Re: Using MongoDB for Real-time Analytics

tpitale — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:20:29 -0000

I'm not quite doing this in Mongolytics (the ruby library for real-time-analytics in web apps like Rails or Sinatra). I'm actually inserting unique records and making use of the schema-less nature to track user-defined parameters from session variables (like user_id). With a set of parameters, I can then go back and do a pretty quick count to get view statistics.

It is good to note that I was originally thinking of doing it this way, and if you have a predefined set of parameters to track, it is a superior approach.

I wasn't angry! I just looked over and he took the shot before I could laugh at him! D'oh.

Thanks! Ali did the site design. I really need to find a wine shop down here that will join so my friends and I can use it.

Thanks Mike!

hunternield: have any other tips or snags you would like to share? It's always interesting to me to hear about this stuff.

I'm hoping to have the time to write a sprinkle recipe to make it easier to provision a new server and have MongoDB on there.
