Background

I'm writing a query to generate a page that will show people involved in entertainment who they are connected to through a social graph. I may end up using Neo4j for it, but I do want to at least attempt it using PostgreSQL.

Schema

Here is a simplified schema:

jdx

#!/bin/bash

# current Git branch
branch=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD | sed -e 's,.*/\(.*\),\1,')

# v1.0.0, v1.5.2, etc.
versionLabel=v$1

# establish branch and tag name variables
devBranch=develop

jdx

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'optparse'

def sync(delete: false)
  if !delete and File.exists? 'db.dump'
    puts 'Existing database found in db.dump'
  else
    puts 'Downloading database...'
    run "heroku pgbackups:capture -a pb-production --expire"

dotplus

dotplus is a group of mobile/web/hardware developers that come together once a month to talk about software development. The goals are:

• Everyone learns something.
• Everyone has fun.
• Everyone meets somebody new.

A typical night will look like the following:

jdx

def beast_score
  max_score = Person.maximum('beast_points')
  max_score = 100 if max_score == 0
  (Math.log(beast_points+2, max_score) * 100).to_i
end

jdx

console.table([
  {"name":"Ricky","age":33,"grade":10},
  {"name":"Julian","age":34,"grade":12},
  {"name":"Bubbles","age":32,"grade":12},
  {"name":"Lahey","age":60,"grade":12},
  {"name":"Randy Bo-Bandy","age":33,"grade":11}
]);

jdx

class IndexUsersEmails < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    execute "END"
    add_pg_index :users, :email, :lock => false
    execute "BEGIN"
  end
end

jdx

def consecutive?(array)
  array.each_with_index.all? { |a, i| a+1 == a[i+1] }
end

def to_consecutive(array)
  if consecutive?(array)
    "#{array.first}-#{array.last}"
  else
    array.to_sentence
  end
