# This template is a Cloud Formation template, that has AWS Sam seamlessly mixed in
# It is extremely powerful as you will see!

# This is a template of Lambda & RDS, publically available (so no private VPC)

# Sometimes Constraints need to interact with controllers (fex. in order not to query the database twice), then I like
# to put them inside the controller. If you load controllers from your routes.rb (more precisely, when routes.rb is loaded),
# these won't reload in development mode.
# If your constraints live somewhere else (say, /app/constraints), it's basically all the same.

# This demonstrates an easy workaround by wrapping the fetching of constraints in a block:

class ConstraintWrapper
  # Helps to load constraints from inside controllers without breaking
  # development environment reloading

Zero downtime deploys with unicorn + nginx + runit + rvm + chef

Below are the actual files we use in one of our latest production applications at Agora Games to achieve zero downtime deploys with unicorn. You've probably already read the GitHub blog post on Unicorn and would like to try zero downtime deploys for your application. I hope these files and notes help. I am happy to update these files or these notes if there are comments/questions. YMMV (of course).

Other application notes:

• Our application uses MongoDB, so we don't have database migrations to worry about as with MySQL or postgresql. That does not mean that we won't have to worry about issues with the database with indexes being built in MongoDB or what have you.
• We use capistrano for deployment.

Salient points for each file:

set path_ to (get path to desktop as string) & "FOLDER NAME HERE"
set prefix_ to "PREFIX HERE"

tell application "Finder"
	set dir_ to folder path_
	set files_ to items of dir_ whose name of it starts with prefix_
	set start_ to (get length of prefix_) + 1
	repeat with file_ in files_
		set oldname_ to name of file_
		set end_ to length of oldname_

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

We spend most of our times obsessing about the actual act of programming. Is this method name too long? Should I refactor this code? How do I fix this bug? However, sometimes, large gains can be made by drawing in experience from totally different fields.

I think there's a lot a programmer can learn from the study of epistemology, logic, metaphysics, moral and political philosophy, and aesthetics. In this talk, I'll give an overview of a bunch of interesting thinkers, philosophical problems, and how they relate to the worlds of software development, open source, and startups.
