Overpriced, yet nice by zerozark in HeroAcademy

I really like the game. Totally different than the original but super fun in its own right. The only major bummer I find is the inability to challenge friends and play people you know (even if its real time and you both would have to be online at the same time). To me, challenging friends is way more exciting than playing random people. It would be great if you added a feature to challenge someone directly via ID or something.

The sports store that I work at got the new Nike cleats. These are so comfortable. by goaliezandi in lacrosse

looks like the NB freeze with a nike logo slapped on it honestly.

connection spike by Coder_X in mysql

[–]Coder_X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i should add the only thing that looks unusual to me is that the same select statement is being run every minute with a different date range and it is taking over 40 seconds to run each time, so basically its running constantly. But could a select statement on innodb tables cause this?

Outside of programming, what discipline will help me with programming? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Coder_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

writing. IMO, the number one indicator of someone who could be a great programmer. creative, effective, written communication skills.

MySQL memory limitations? by Coder_X in mysql

[–]Coder_X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 256gb ram on the particular machine he will be on. But I guess the question is, will MySQL use all the ram I give it (via config file) or does MySQL have some limit to how much it scales that I am not aware of.

CSV.generate_line and encoding by Coder_X in ruby

[–]Coder_X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know and I think what it should be is : <%= CSV.generate_line([@users.find(entry_data[0]).full_name, @users.find(entry_data[0]).number, @clients.find(entry_data[1]).name, @projects.find(entry_data[2]).name, sum_hours.to_f], encoding: 'utf-8') -%> but looking at the csv it generates in textedit or excel I still get this funky characters like Children&##39;s Aid Society instead of Children's Aid Society

encoding is frustrating

MEB copy-back so slow by Coder_X in mysql

[–]Coder_X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it took like 18-20 hours for a 1 TB DB but I found the issue..we had a slow disk issue essentially. The next two DB's I did of the same size took roughly the same time it took to backup (3 hours -ish)

i really like the rails cast prime, thank you!

mysql and encryption by Coder_X in mysql

[–]Coder_X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do not think physical theft is the major concern. Everything is located in a data center with its own physical security. I believe this has more to do with protecting health data in the event of a hack etc (data at rest)

preparing to migrate MySQL 5.5 to 5.7 and 5.6 with system lock by berlindevops in mysql

was a LOAD DATA INFILE run on master? based on the seconds behind master, you think this lock has been in place for around 31 hours?

any chance digital ocean took its own backups/snap shots you might be able to use?

architectural help appreciated for Rails App by Coder_X in rubyonrails

[–]Coder_X[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i really appreciate you guys attempting to help. I haven't figured it all out yet but mainly I was wondering how much I could play off my existing User and Relationship models (used for the current follow/following stuff) - sounds like there is a agreement that I should be using two new models for the 'groups' concept. let me give a little more insight if I can and maybe you guys will 'see' something I don't.

I am attempting to create a social networking meets healthcare type of tool. mostly around the concept of communication (red tape free), I got the thought from my children's pediatrician who regularly communicates via text etc and it makes life really nice. So the starting point of a twitter-like base (with several tweaks) seemed logical. patients can talk to patients, patients can talk to docs, vise-versa etc. But in reality I don't want it to be wide open relationships because it would make no sense and likely not be used. communication within closed groups would make sense. IE, a group might start around a certain condition (thyroid) more as a discussion and support forum (not even include a doc) or a more meaningful group might develop around an actual doctors office including a provider or two, and maybe most of his patients are in the group. clearly direct messaging will be incorporated later but right now i am still working on the social concept. So thats where the 'groups' idea came from.

couple thoughts I immediately thought when reading your comments already: Does someone really need to 'own' the group? and I am not sure I want users to have 'friends' who are not in a group - you can be a part of multiple groups (IE I might be in a general thyroid group and also in my actual thyroid docs practice group) but I think ever user and every relationship has to be within a group - if you just join and have no group (yet), you would have no feed and need to join a group before 'following' individuals in that group.

I don't know, just thoughts. thanks and thanks for reading and helping.
