GitHub feature request: "micro edits"

Micro Edits

A GitHub Feature Request

I propose a feature that lets you edit one line of code, in place, instantly, no hassle - providing nothing but the updated line of code, and a short 1-line comment explaining why you'd like to make this change.

Why? Because it's the little things that count. How often do you glance over code on GitHub and think, "oh, I could fix that real quick". But you don't want to fork the project and submit a pull-request, much less have to maintain your own fork (and have it show up on your GitHub page) so you just leave it alone.

Think of the overall quality increase, if all those little tweaks got made every time somebody spots something ugly, and actually made it into people's codebases - many drops make an ocean, right?

A CBehavior (for the Yii-framework) that automatically converts to/from DATE/DATETIME values
<?php
/**
* This behavior implements synchronous timestamp-accessors for DATE and DATETIME values
* by convention - attributes with a "_date" or "_datetime" suffix, respectively, can be
* accessed as UNIX timestamps (integers) by leaving out the suffix; for example, a
* DATETIME attribute $test->created_datetime can be accessed as $test->created.
*
* This behavior can be attached to a CModel or descendants, e.g. CFormModel, CActiveRecord, etc.

MySQL ALTER TABLE issue with COMMENT on columns

This gist documents a problem with MySQL Workbench, which may be related to an SQL parser bug in MySQL, I'm not 100% certain yet.

This is repeatable with MySQL 5.5.25 on Windows 8, I have not tested this on other versions or environments yet.

First, create a database and populate it with two tables for testing:

DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS `test`;

USE `test`;
