Ordering a query result set by an arbitrary list in PostgreSQL

I'm hunting for the best solution on how to handle keeping large sets of DB records "sorted" in a performant manner.

Problem Description

Most of us have work on projects at some point where we have needed to have ordered lists of objects. Whether it be a to-do list sorted by priority, or a list of documents that a user can sort in whatever order they want.

A traditional approach for this on a Rails project is to use something like the acts_as_list gem, or something similar. These systems typically add some sort of "postion" or "sort order" column to each record, which is then used when querying out the records in a traditional order by position SQL query.

This approach seems to work fine for smaller datasets, but can be hard to manage on large data sets with hundreds (or thousands) of records needing to be sorted. Changing the sort position of even a single object will require updating every single record in the database that is in the same sort group. This requires potentially thousands of wri

Fix blurry fonts on some external monitors when using MacBook Pro Retina

How to fix blurry fonts on some external monitors when using MacBook Pro Retina

It seems that graphcis and fonts look rather blurry on some monitors when hooked up to a MacBook Pro (Retina). This might fix the issue for you:

  1. Download patch-edid.rb from http://embdev.net/attachment/168316/patch-edid.rb

  2. Execute in Terminal (without the $):

    $ ruby patch-edid.rb

  3. Copy produced folder (example: DisplayVendorID-22f0) to /System/Library/Displays/Overrides (authorize if needed, if the folder exists, backup it before)
