Postgres statistics queries
** Find commmonly accessed tables and their use of indexes:
SELECT relname,seq_tup_read,idx_tup_fetch,cast(idx_tup_fetch AS numeric) / (idx_tup_fetch + seq_tup_read) AS idx_tup_pct FROM pg_stat_user_tables WHERE (idx_tup_fetch + seq_tup_read)>0 ORDER BY idx_tup_pct;
Returns output like:
relname | seq_tup_read | idx_tup_fetch | idx_tup_pct

Generating a properly secure SECRET_KEY in Django
"""
Two things are wrong with Django's default `SECRET_KEY` system:
1. It is not random but pseudo-random
2. It saves and displays the SECRET_KEY in `settings.py`
This snippet
1. uses `SystemRandom()` instead to generate a random key
2. saves a local `secret.txt`

One-line Tree in Python

Using Python's built-in defaultdict we can easily define a tree data structure:

def tree(): return defaultdict(tree)

That's it!
