Tot acaba, o potser més aviat comença amb el retard de 6 mesos per part de Progrup en retornar una fiança de 750 euros.

Els antecedents del meu pas per un pis gestionat per Progrup, des de que vaig entrar uns 3 anys 31 de desembre del 2009 i fins que he marxat a 27 de novembre del 2012. Aproximadament uns 6 mesos i encara no se m'ha tornat la fiança.

En el moment de signar el contracte se'm va dir que era imprescindible, que el dia de la signatura del contracte, portar un xec per valor de 750 euros. Ho vaig trobar normal, ja que en tots els lloguers hi ha una fiança amb el valor del lloguer mensual.

Els primers mesos se'm va tallar fins a dos cops el suministrament d'aigua, degut a que abans d'entrar jo no es van regularitzar les factures de l'aigua i hi havia uns deutes pendents. Feina que havia de fer Progrup, però maldecaps de quedar-se sense aigua corrent dues vegades, anar en hores de feina a l'atenció al client del distribuïdor d’aigua, avançar els diners d'un deute que jo ni m'hauria d'haver assaben

Turning PostgreSQL into a queue serving 10,000 jobs per second

RDBMS-based job queues have been criticized recently for being unable to handle heavy loads. And they deserve it, to some extent, because the queries used to safely lock a job have been pretty hairy. SELECT FOR UPDATE followed by an UPDATE works fine at first, but then you add more workers, and each is trying to SELECT FOR UPDATE the same row (and maybe throwing NOWAIT in there, then catching the errors and retrying), and things slow down.

On top of that, they have to actually update the row to mark it as locked, so the rest of your workers are sitting there waiting while one of them propagates its lock to disk (and the disks of however many servers you're replicating to). QueueClassic got some mileage out of the novel idea of randomly picking a row near the front of the queue to lock, but I can't still seem to get more than an an extra few hundred jobs per second out of it under heavy load.

So, many developers have started going straight t

Documentation-Driven Development

The philosophy behind Documentation-Driven Development is a simple: from the perspective of a user, if a feature is not documented, then it doesn't exist, and if a feature is documented incorrectly, then it's broken.

Document the feature first. Figure out how you're going to describe the feature to users; if it's not documented, it doesn't exist. Documentation is the best way to define a feature in a user's eyes.
Whenever possible, documentation should be reviewed by users (community or Spark Elite) before any development begins.
Once documentation has been written, development should commence, and test-driven development is preferred.
Unit tests should be written that test the features as described by the documentation. If the functionality ever comes out of alignment with the documentation, tests should fail.
When a feature is being modified, it should be modified documentation-first.
When documentation is modified, so should be the tests.
