Illustrates GEM_HOME vs GEM_PATH
# Two ENV variables control the 'gem' command:
#
# GEM_HOME: the single path to a gem dir where gems are installed
# GEM_PATH: a standard PATH to gem dirs where gems are found
#
# A gem directory is a directory that holds gems. The 'gem' command will lay
# out and utilize the following structure:
#
# bin # installed bin scripts
# cache # .gem files ex: cache/gem_name.gem

Blessed GC settings for big servers
# Base settings and GC logging
-server -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch # First should be default, but we make it explicit, second pre-zeroes memory mapped pages on JVM startup -- improves runtime performance
# -Xloggc:gc-%t.log # CUSTOMIZE LOCATION HERE - $path/gc-%t.log -- the %t in the gc log file path is so we get a new file with each JVM restart
-XX:NumberOfGCLogFiles=5 -XX:+UseGCLogFileRotation -XX:GCLogFileSize=20m # Limits the number of files, logs to folder
-XX:+PrintGC -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC -XX:+PrintGCCause
-XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -XX:+PrintReferenceGC -XX:+PrintAdaptiveSizePolicy # gather info on object age & reference GC time for further tuning if needed.
# G1 specific settings -- probably should be default for multi-core systems with >2 GB of heap (below that, default is probably fine)
-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication

Short unique ID (Ruby)
t = DateTime
id = t.now.strftime("%Y%m%d%k%M%S%L") # Get current date to the milliseconds
id = id.to_i.to_s(36) # will generate somthing like "5i0sp1h4tkc"
# Reverse it
id.to_i(36)

Monkey patch to ActiveRecord to forbid
######################
#
# Monkey patch to ActiveRecord to prevent 'implicit' checkouts. Currently tested with Rails 4.0.8, prob
# should work fine in Rails 4.1 too.
#
# If you create a thread yourself, if it uses ActiveRecord objects without
# explicitly checking out a connection, one will still be checked out implicitly.
# If it is never checked back in with `ActiveRecord::Base.clear_active_connections!`,
# then it will be leaked.

A cheap knock off of the default validates_length_of validator, but checks the filesize of a Carrierwave attachment

Note that this validation runs both after the file is uploaded and after CarrierWave has processed the image. If your base uploader includes a filter to resize the image then the validation will be run against the resized image, not the original one that was uploaded. If this causes a problem for you, then you should avoid using a resizing filter on the base uploader and put any specific size requirements in a version instead.

So instead of this:

require 'carrierwave/processing/mini_magick'
