git pr - Global .gitconfig aliases for Pull Request Managment

Install

Either copy the aliases from the .gitconfig or run the commands in add-pr-alias.sh

Usage

Easily checkout local copies of pull requests from remotes:

  • git pr 4 - creates local branch pr/4 from the github upstream(if it exists) or origin remote and checks it out
  • git pr 4 someremote - creates local branch pr/4 from someremote remote and checks it out

Speed up your Rails sqlite database for large dataset. This should be a Rails initializer, goes into config/initializers.
if ::ActiveRecord::Base.connection_config[:adapter] == 'sqlite3'
if c = ::ActiveRecord::Base.connection
# see http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html for details
# Page size of the database. The page size must be a power of two between 512 and 65536 inclusive
c.execute 'PRAGMA main.page_size=4096;'
# Suggested maximum number of database disk pages that SQLite will hold in memory at once per open database file
c.execute 'PRAGMA main.cache_size=10000;'

NGINX tuning for best performance

NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.

When Active Record Child Objects are Autosaved in Rails

belongs_to:

  1. Assigning an object to a belongs_to association does not automatically save the object. It does not save the associated object either.

has_one:

  1. When you assign an object to a has_one association, that object is automatically saved (in order to update its foreign key).
  2. In addition, any object being replaced is also automatically saved, because its foreign key will change too
  3. If either of these saves fails due to validation errors, then the assignment statement returns false and the assignment itself is cancelled.
  4. If the parent object (the one declaring the has_one association) is unsaved (that is, new_record? returns true) then the child objects are not saved. They will automatically when the parent object is saved.
