Setup Postgres.app to allow connection via unix socket

These are instructions to setup Postgres.app to allow connections over unix sockets. These instructions were written for Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).

  1. Run Postgres.app once so that the configuration is initialized in ~/Library/Application Support/Postgres.
  2. Close Postgres.app
  3. Open ~/Library/Application Support/Postgres/var/postgresql.conf in your favorite text editor.
  4. Uncomment the line unix_socket_directory = '' and change it to unix_socket_directory = '/var/pgsql_socket'
  5. Create the directory /var/pgsql_socket if it doesn't exist.
  6. Run chmod 770 /var/pgsql_socket (may need to be run with sudo)
  7. Run chown root:staff /var/pgsql_socket (may need to be run with sudo)

reddit 'hot' algorithm, in ruby, with typo fixed
require 'date'
# Actually doesn't matter WHAT you choose as the epoch, it
# won't change the algorithm. Just don't change it after you
# have cached computed scores. Choose something before your first
# post to avoid annoying negative numbers. Choose something close
# to your first post to keep the numbers smaller. This is, I think,
# reddit's own epoch.
