List of some useful Stat Queries for PSQL
--- PSQL queries which also duplicated from https://github.com/anvk/AwesomePSQLList/blob/master/README.md
--- some of them taken from https://www.slideshare.net/alexeylesovsky/deep-dive-into-postgresql-statistics-54594192
-- I'm not an expert in PSQL. Just a developer who is trying to accumulate useful stat queries which could potentially explain problems in your Postgres DB.

Settings to deploy to AWS Elastic Beanstalk on CircleCi (EB Cli 3)

This is how I configured the deploy of my rails apps to AWS Elastic Beanstalk through CircleCI 1.0.

If you are using the Circle CI 2.0, take a look at this article from ryansimms

Configure Environments Variables

On Project Settings > Environment Variables add this keys:

  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
    The aws user must have the right permissions. This can be hard, maybe, this can help you.

Undo/Redo

Undo/Redo

Undo/Redo is one of those features of an application that you almost always need to have if you are building serious GUI tools for people to do work.

The best way to look at undo/redo is two stacks of operations the user has performed:

  • The Undo stack is the "history" of what they've done
  • The redo stack is the breadcrumbs back to the initial state before they started undoing

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.

How to use rails load paths, app, and lib directories.
