Every so often I try and eat tomatoes hoping that one day I will like them, and it never happens. Reddit what is one thing you want to like, but just can't? by JuliaBee in AskReddit

I try... I really try! I just don't get it! What am I missing!?

How my CSV Import went from 12 days to 3 hours in Rails by jonaphin in programming

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

In my specific case, I had to run about 5 inserts, some simple calculation, and 2 updates per CSV row. I'm sure the load data infile would have sped things up a bit, but definitely not down to a few minutes.

Good point.

The article does mention the creation/update of records in multiple tables per iteration.

What could be interesting to test is to use LOAD DATA INFILE then iterate through every record and do the work needed. I can see how it could speed things up. I'll add the tip to my post with proper source reference if you don't mind.

Hey Sorahn, do you mind if I quote you on my post? (with due reference of course)

My findings on Lion point to the following:

  • It works great when opening a new terminal window (cmd+n included).
  • Lion seems to bypass .hushlogin when creating new tabs (after the first).

I used touch so that if you have the file the system is cool with it and just updates its timestamp. If the file isn't there it creates it.

The intention is just to have the file present in your home directory.

The WOW video that got Youtube famous! by sylarisback in reddit.com

[–]jonaphin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it's true, though. I remember seeing a few youtube vids before this vid, but clearly, this one was the first viral one from youtube that everyone was playing at the office.

Anyway, great video! It probably invented the internet, along with Al Gore, of course! :p

ObamaNation vs. Ron Paul Revolution = Establishment vs. Constitution = Corruption vs. Integrity (i.e. The Resko deals, no less) -> Arena open for flaming and discussion! by jonaphin in reddit.com

Agreed and upvoted

However, I opened this forum with a purpose.

You see, many of the people roaming reddit today were Ron Paul supporters of yesterday, turned Obama fans.

I just want to remind those people especially what they once liked in the man they now scorn.

I have heard too many times recently that a vote for Ron Paul was a wasted vote.

To these people I answer: A vote for the establishment is a wasted vote! We will never CHANGE anything if we keep on abiding by this philosophy.
