How to upgrade a Heroku PostgreSQL database to a new plan

I started a project on a Hobby Dev plan (free, limit 10,000 rows), and then later needed to upgrade it to Hobby Basic ($9/month, limit 10,000,000 rows).

After assigning the new database, I had two databases attached to the application. They looked something like this:

• HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_OLIVE (postgresql-dimensional-3321) Old, free-tier (Hobby Dev) database

# 4. then manually (sorry guys) craft json and put it into channel dir

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.10 Yosemite running from scratch, setup applications and developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after a semi-annual fresh install. On average, I reinstall each computer from scratch every 6 months, and I do not perform upgrades between distros.

This keeps the system performing at top speeds, clean of trojans, spyware, and ensures that I maintain good organizational practices for my content and backups. I highly recommend this.

You are encouraged to fork this and modify it to your heart's content to match your own needs.

Server Event Logging in Go

Inspo

Many thanks to https://github.com/jadekler/git-go-websiteskeleton who got me started in this direction. Jadekler was in turn inspired by https://gist.github.com/cespare/3985516. Ultimately, this implementation has a lot more in common with cespare's. There are a few minor differences. I mainly wrote this one to teach myself exactly what was going on (hence all the comments) and to demonstrate the inclusion of the gorilla/mux framework without using Jadekler's technique of two separate http muxes.

# Python script to find the largest files in a git repository.
# The general method is based on the script in this blog post:
# http://stubbisms.wordpress.com/2009/07/10/git-script-to-show-largest-pack-objects-and-trim-your-waist-line/
#
# The above script worked for me, but was very slow on my 11GB repository. This version has a bunch
# of changes to speed things up to a more reasonable time. It takes less than a minute on repos with 250K objects.

Here is a high level overview for what you need to do to get most of an Android environment setup and maintained.

Prerequisites (for Homebrew at a minimum, lots of other tools need these too):

• XCode is installed (via the App Store)
• XCode command line tools are installed (xcode-select --install will prompt up a dialog)
• Java

Install Homebrew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

script_file = File.join(Rails.root, "script", "git_fix_whitespace.sh")

desc "Remove trailing whitespace and convert tabs to spaces"
task :fix_whitespace do
  `sh #{script_file} -f`
end

namespace :fix_whitespace do
  desc "Installs a git pre-commit hook which removes trailing whitespace and converts tabs to spaces"
  task :install, :force do |t, args|

  # lvh.me always resolves to 127.0.0.1
  hostname = subdomain ? "#{subdomain}.lvh.me" : "lvh.me"
  Capybara.app_host = "http://#{hostname}"
