Ruby: The future of frozen string literals

What is a literal?

In programming languages, literals are textual representations of values in the source code. This is a syntactical concept.

Some examples:

A memory-saving ActiveRecord setting has been used by just one application ever, according to GitHub
There's a common performance problem in many Rails background jobs.

Background jobs often do operations across large sets of data. Basically, they do silly things like User.all.each(&:send_daily_newsletter).

So, there's a problem with that query. In development and test environments, User.all will probably return a few rows, maybe a dozen at most. Most developers have extremely limited seed data on their local machines.

In production, however, User.all will probably return quite a few rows. Depending on the app you work on, maybe a few hundred thousand.

There's a tiiiiiny issue with a result set that returns 100,000 rows, and it's not just that the SQL query will take a long time to return. It will have irreversible effects on your Ruby app too!

# assuming Model is your model and options is a json/jsonb column.
# This uses the Postgres json append || operator.
# And wraps the option inside an array.
# producing [{},{}] multiple hashes inside a top level json array.

# It is very important that the hash is [{}] NOT {} as not having the array on the 
# outside will cause the hash to replace the contents instead of appending to them.

#Laravel 5 Simple ACL manager

Protect your routes with user roles. Simply add a 'role_id' to the User model, install the roles table and seed if you need some example roles to get going.

If the user has a 'Root' role, then they can perform any actions.

Installation

Simply copy the files across into the appropriate directories, and register the middleware in App\Http\Kernel.php

<?php
/**
 * Apply a different tax rate based on the user role.
 */
function wc_diff_rate_for_user( $tax_class, $product ) {
	if ( is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) {
		$tax_class = 'Zero Rate';
	}

	return $tax_class;

This is just a jotting of notes on how to embed Faye into a single Rails process. Makes it nice to do simple real time things without the need for a separate Faye server/process.

Also uses Faye Redis to work across load balanced Rails apps.

You also need to copy the compiled javascript into vendor/assets/javascripts and include into application.js manifest.

Ignore the numbers in the file names... just used to add order to the Gist.

This uses the faye/faye Github repo at edc5b42f6560d31eae61caf00f6765a90e1818d1 since I wanted to use with the Puma rack server and that is only available in the master branch (until Faye 1.0)
