I made a very broad assumption based on my past experiences with engineers and I apologize if I offended you. Most engineers I have met in my career have really depended on an ORM to do all of their heavy lifting. They can write some of the

4000 records with a one-to-many join (the many part capped at 240 records). The aggregations are done mostly on that join table. In our original ruby process, it would return just that, 240 records per join and aggregate on that. Our SQL pr

Yea. It returns a table of rows, where the return columns are defined in the stored procedure. I may have used the wrong nomenclature. I was trying to differentiate between a table in a database schema versus one defined in a function.

Honestly, it's yak shaving at that point. Like the article pointed out, you can create an index on a stored procedure that is IMMUTABLE. That will have some effect on the performance of the query. There are other patterns you can use t

Absolutely agreed. In our particular situation, the ruby calculations were the bottlenecks based on our benchmarks.

Most ORMs will not do the level of aggregations you want or need without writing raw SQL within your ORM. If you are already writing raw SQL in your ORM for aggregation level computations, you might as well create a stored procedure, make i

Absolutely! We use rails. I just mentioned doing it in that method as opposed to throwing it in a migration. That migration shouldn't change in version control. We wanted a history of the changes and an easy way to access it in migrati

With the correct abstractions, you can definitely run tests on save. SQL is rather readable these days. It's obviously not as easy to read as ruby or python and is slightly more verbose, but it is certainly readable. Mileage will vary

That's exactly what we did. We return an anonymous table of records in Postgres that are then passed to ruby to render an excel file. The SQL query takes 27s on average. The ruby view generation is fast as well but I haven't prof

At work, we have an internally generated report that was done purely in ruby. It worked, barely, munging numbers for about 1000 records. When we hit 4000 records, the report took about 6 hours to run in ruby. We looked for some obvious opti

While Wikileaks may not alter any of the information they are given, it is plausible that their sources have the ability to alter documents before sending to Wikileaks. The only newsworthy item I have seen was this: http://mobile

I have had a number of managers in my career. Some where they couldn't careless about my career prospects (no 1-1s, no conversations, nothing). And the best ones put me in positions to thrive and grow. For those of you in either of the

Who do you feel less loyal to? I only ask as I essentially try to keep the same boundaries but don't feel less loyal. I actually feel more loyal as I have more _focused_ time for the company, but this is probably just a rationalization

I completely echo this sentiment. I like Ember, but have found that the learning curve of a React/Redux app is significantly smaller than that of a similar Ember app. Small sample size for me (2 Ember projects, 6+ React projects), but

It's a numbers game once they subscribe, even if the link is there. Some people, myself included, won't hit that unsubscribe button. I'll just forever mark it as spam until it no longer shows up in my inbox.

ESPN published an article the day after with about 10-12 tweets surrounding the victory. You didn't need to be on Twitter to see it, just on ESPN the day after to realize what you missed.

From my initial readings and implementations of flux, it seems that actions should only really interact with stores through the dispatcher. To achieve uni directional data flow here, you could pass the DataSTore.loadingState from the compon

I do not disagree about the shell history being very important. Some histories do end up getting truncated at a set interval. That was the main reason I brought up tracking this command trail at some point close to the task being completed.
