A half-finished blog post about using recursive CTEs with Ash.

Relationships to recursive common table expressions

Let me lead by saying that this is a probably a bad idea and if you're starting from scratch you should instead look at using a Postgres extension like ltree instead.

Recently I was working on a client's application and they have a Location resource which represents a physical location. Locations are a tree - ie they have a belongs_to :parent_location, Location relationship that if loaded essentially performs a self-join on the locations table. Likewise it has a

Weighted Reference Counting Example

Weighted Reference Couting

Weighted reference counting is more efficient than traditional reference counting because you don't have to update the reference counted object every time a reference is taken (potentially meaning updating the object on the heap and blowing the processor cache). Weighted reference counting only updates the referenced object when a reference is dropped or when weight is exhausted. Weight Reference Counting is also really good for concurrent systems because the number of synchronisations needed is much lower than normal reference counting.

Algorithm overview:

Allocate a new reference counted object with a default weight (a tunable power of two - usually around 1 &lt;&lt; 16 for a real implementation). An initial reference is allocated which points to the object and the weight value is copied into it. Every time the reference is cloned, the weight is split in two (shifting one bit to the right is the same as dividing by two) and one half allocated to the existing reference and one

Try and guess where to push branches to based on convention.
#!/bin/bash
# This script tries to handle `git push` when the local branch isn't
# configured to track a remote branch.
#
# First, if the branch already tracks a remote branch then it just calls
# `git push` and we're done.
#
# Second, if the branch doesn't track a remote branch and there is a
# remote called "origin" present then it just makes an assumption and
